5. Old Business
A. Certificate of Appropriateness for the Old Marco Inn Redevelopment Plans
Mark McLean, Project Manager for the Redevelopment Plans for the Old
Marco Inn provided an in depth power point presentation of the planned re-
development of the Old Marco Inn property, encompassing the raising and
turning of the Old Marco Inn itself to its original position (facing North towards
the Isles of Capri). Their goal is to maintain and restore the Inn to its 1883
historical design, on its exterior. He noted it had been changed somewhat in
1912 and 1953. He showed pictures of the original structure. He stated they
intend to rehabilitate and repair the Inn to its historic design. He noted the
intention is to follow the 10 Standards of Preservation, as outlined by the
Secretary of the Interior, on how to re-establish a historical structure. He read
several of the standards to illustrate what the developers will be following.
Mr. McLean noted some of the challenges and current building requirements
23.A.2
Packet Pg. 511 Attachment: Agenda With Supporting Documents (6174 : Historical/Archeological Preservation Board - June 20, 2018)

that will be dealt with ( FEMA , building codes, wiring, plumbing, etc.).
He explained what would be added; and, the configuration of the shops, the 41
room hotel, lobby and pool.
Elaine Reed stated her concerns had been addressed in a meeting with the
developers. She commended the planners for meeting all 10 Standards; and,
urged them to have photo copies taken to document the restoration, from start
to finish, for future benefit to the public.
Eugene Erjavec asked for each member’s comment and questioned if a vote
should be taken before the full Board was appraised of the presentation.
It was determined a quorum was present; therefore, a vote could be taken.
Betsy Perdichizzi commented the plans were a huge improvement. Her concern
had been for the fire hazard the current structure posed. She had worried the
whole building could be gone. She admired the plans to preserve it; as it could
be lost forever, like Monroe Station.
Austin Bell noted the Old Marco Inn was special to many people and its
renovation would help the public appreciate the history of the building;
hopefully fostering an interest in historic preservation.
Eileen Arsenault applauded the projection presented for the Old Marco Inn and
hoped the same could happen for the Rod and Gun Club in Everglades City.
She stated people will appreciate the fact that the developers are saving as much
as possible.
George Thompson, a member of the Public in attendance, stated he applauded
the renovation plans and commended the developers for their preservation
plans, commenting that-”Once it’s gone, it’s gone!
Elaine Reed moved the HAPB accept the proposed plans as presented.
Second by Betsy Perdichizzi. Carried unanimously 5-0.
Mr. McLean will provide the HAPB with a link to a copy of the Power Point
presentation.
B. Historic Village in Everglades City Presentation
Ray Bellows stated he had received an e-mail from Mayra Repko stating that due
to lack of financial support the project presentation had been withdrawn for the
Historic Village in Everglades City until such time that support is available. They
will bring their presentation to the HAPB at that time.
Patty Huff , Vice president of the for Everglades Society for Historic
Preservation in Everglades City offered further detail regarding the Historic
Village Project. She stated they had hoped to preserve old homes damaged by

Hurricane Irma. Some were not stable enough to move; some too damaged to
repair or preserve. Some owners chose to demolish or move, rather than face
FEMA requirement to raise and/or move buildings. Everglades City is faced
with losing buildings to demolition. She stated there have been many
changes. Some owners were converting to stilt homes; some raising their
homes, demolishing them or moving. Everyone was trying to make it better.
Her group would now concentrate on Public buildings - the Rod & Gun Club,
the Bank building, the Depot, and other buildings they feel can be saved.
Elaine Reed offered to meet with the Patty and/or the Historic Preservation
group to share some appropriate preservation options. She stated there are
options that can preserve rather than demolish.
Patty Huff stated the Bank building was for sale. The Depot was purchased a
year ago and owners were undecided on what to do. She stated one goal was
to find owners for the Bank Building who will repair it. She will contact
Elaine for information and a possible opportunity for Elaine to attend an
Everglades Society for Historic Preservation meeting.
Chairman Eugene Erjavec referred to the Project List entry for Everglades
City Historic Village.
Ray Bellows suggested the item could be withdrawn and replaced with
Everglades City preservation of important buildings and potential Everglades
City issues.
6 New Business
A. Sunshine Law Presentation
Colleen Green, Assistant County Attorney distributed copies of the current
Sunshine Laws. She went over each item, explaining its meaning and its
three basic requirements, answering all questions and clarifying those
basic requirements, which are: (Ch.286.011) Florida Statutes)
1. Meetings of public boards, commissions or committees (“boards”)
must be open to the public.
2. Reasonable notice of such meetings must be given.
3. Minutes of the meeting must be taken
She also briefly reviewed the Ethics Laws and offered her contact
information to the HAPB should they have any questions in the future.
The HAPB members thanked Attorney Green for her thorough presentation.
Prior to taking up Item B., Ray Bellows asked Patty Huff to speak about the
Historic Brochure. He stated that more Brochures were needed; but, before
reprinting, they needed updating.
C. Patty Huff stated she had reviewed the Historic Guide Booklet and noted
several changes were needed. She cited Monroe Station (no longer there/
destroyed by fire); the Everglades City Bank building is listed as a Bed and
Breakfast (it’s for sale); the Ivy House may have to be demolished. She

recommended the HAPB members review the Guide and provided any
revisions to Ray Bellows. Once revised, she will prepare it for the
publishers. She noted that the Tourist Development Council was still
providing the funding for the printing of the Booklet. It was decided that
revisions be in within the next month so they can be approved by June or
July. Patty will make the revisions and get another order to the publishers.
B. Austin J. Bell has been appointed to fill the HAPB vacancy with the
resignation of Craig Woodward
Austin Bell was introduced to the rest of the HAPB and welcomed to the
Board. Mr. Bell thanked the HAPB for accepting him, stating it was his
”honor and pleasure to serve”.
After a brief discussion, it was agreed to put “Board Meeting Attendance”
on the next meeting’s Agenda.
7. Review of the Project and Activity Log
Ray Bellows stated changes would be made for #4. Everglades City Historic
Village-- (Future Review).
Move Historic Guide revision from “Completed” to the “Active Section”.
Active Items: 1. Rural Lands West SRA –Ray Bellows reported a meeting was to
be held later in the week. The Applicant was in the process of re-submitting plans
for review. They were still 6 to 8 months away from a Public Hearing. The
Cultural Assessment previously submitted now has to be reviewed under new
code changes. They most likely will do a new Cultural Assessment at the time of
the SRA Review. Ray Bellows and Tim Flynn will look into how the Staff
Project Manager and Mr. Reynolds, the lead on the consulting side, want to
proceed and report back to the HAPB.
2. Inter-local Agreement with the City of Marco Island.- No progress has been
made on this topic; the City seems uninterested; and, consideration was given to
remove it from the Project List.
Elaine Reed pointed out that the Old Marco Inn project, was reviewed by the
HAPB and its plans and presentation were to be recommended to the BCC
without an Inter-local Agreement.
Chairman Eugene Erjavec provided several examples of instances on Marco
Island where an Inter-local Agreement would have saved destruction of historic
properties i.e. Captain Horr House and Indian Hill- historic and archeologically
sensitive properties. He pointed out State Law forbids disturbance of burial
grounds,- with or without an Ordinance or Agreement.
Betsy Perdichizzi noted that Everglades City had elected a new Mayor who may
be more amenable to consider an Inter-local Agreement.
Elaine Reed suggested the HAPB leave the Inter-local agreement issue on the

Project Activity List. The rest of the HAPB agreed.
6. Update Probability Maps: Chairman Eugene Erjavec stressed the outdated
maps have boundaries that are off and needed updating soon. The Division
Administrator was looking into the matter. However, according to Ray Bellows,
there is a funding issue. He will look into another try at getting the maps updated.
7. Horse Creek Historic Marker: Ray Bellows stated that Museum Director,
Amanda Townsend, was looking into finding a more formal looking Plaque
depicting the historic nature of the area as part of the original Tamiami Trail.
8. Public Comments - George Thompson commended the HAPB for their service,
stating that the developers and the public should see their function as helpers, not
roadblocks to development. He noted costs and expenses were minimal compared
to the benefits of restoration and preservation.
9. HAPB Board Member Comments
Elaine Reed inquired about the possibility of HAPB meetings being held on a
different day of the week; as City Council meetings were also on Wednesdays.
Ray Bellows responded that County Commission meetings were on Tuesdays
and Planning Board & Hearings were on Thursdays.
A brief discussion followed and the HAPB agreed to put the Change of Meeting
day on the Agenda for the next HAPB meeting.
Betsy Perdichizzi announced the 99th anniversary of the opening of the Tamiami
Trail on April 28th in Everglades City at 11:00am. The following activities are
some of those planned: A talk on the Tamiami Trail, a parade and a program
with the Historical Re-enactors, a birthday cake at the Rod and Gun Club and
several other activities.
Due to scheduling conflicts amongst the HAPB members, there will be no
May meeting.
The next HAPB meeting is scheduled for June 20, 2018 at 9:15 AM
Elaine Reed moved to adjourn the meeting of the HAPB. Second by
Eileen Arsenault. Carried unanimously, 5-0.
