1. Gary Beardsley mentioned several deficiencies with the
minutes of February 8, 1993 meeting. First, add to the sixth
paragraph under Old Business, "that Glenn Simpson requested
that Martha Howell research the EPTAB Ordinance for legal
interpretation concerning EPTAB role. " Second, under Action
Items, second item, Mr. Beardsley asked that this item read
that "Bill Lorenz was to develop a history of EPTAB and send
this to David Land and Gary Beardsley for review. This
history will be used by Dave Maehr for the League of Women
Voters presentation" . The February 8th, minutes were
approved with corrections.
2 . Old Business:
a) Glenn Simpson presented a summary of his meeting with
Commissioner Tim Constantine. Mr. Simpson stated that
Commissioner Constantine was not in favor of Belle Meade area
becoming a preserve. Commissioner Constantine still felt
that Collier County had enough land in preservation. Mr.
Simpson stressed that the identification of a NRPA must be
well documented and be justifiable with support documents
before Commissioner Constantine would consider approval of
the project.
David Land next summarized his meeting with Commissioner
Bettye Matthews. Mr. Land stated that Commissioner Matthews
seemed open to the NRPA consent now, but her earlier concept
of NRPAs was due to the fact that she believed that a list of
NRPAs had already been submitted and were being approved
without any justification given for their approval.
Commissioner Matthews asked staff to come back with a list of
NRPAs showing what State or Federal protection mechanisms
were already in place on these NRPAs. She stated that she
would like to have a workshop and that one NRPA be selected
with complete details relating to the boundary of the NRPA as
well as what objectives are not being met by other regulatory
agencies. Commissioner Matthews requested that EPTAB present
this workshop. Mike Davis, who was present for both meetings
concurred with Mr. Simpson and Mr. Land on both Commissioners
responses during their meetings. EPTAB selected the Camp
Keais area for the NRPA workshop. Camp Keais area extends
south of Lake Trafford to the northern boundary of the region
known as Catherine Island. NRD staff will do the background
work on Camp Keais and EPTAB will present workshop for the
Commissioners. Glenn Simpson stated the Camp Keais area has
only three land owners who are all willing sellers.
Glenn Simpson suggested that a subcommittee be selected by
EPTAB to work with staff on documenting the Camp Keais area.
Gary Beardsley suggested that a mini-poll with a list of
potential NRPAs be submitted to the Board and let them pick
their choice for a NRPA.
Glenn Simpson stated that the Camp Keais area would be easier
project for the Commissioners to focus on because of its
proximity to the Collier County Government. Motion to choose
Camp Keais as demonstration NRPA passed unanimously
Motion to select a subcommittee to work on NRPA development
was approved with one opposing vote.
Mike Davis selected the EPTAB subcommittee. Members of this
committee are Dave Maehr, Glenn Simpson and David Land.

c) Staff report on NRPA costs: Postpone because of Board

d) Clam Bay Water Quality Ordinance: Gary Beardsley had
concerns about the possibility of opening outer Clam Bay to
boaters to the south. Fran Stallings explained that this was
not the intent of the Ordinance. The Ordinance was to
prevent further degradation to the area. Gary Beardsley
requested that EPTAB review this ordinance again for language
that might degrade Clam Bay. Fran Stallings said that the
Ordinance will be put on the "mailing list" this week and
will be available for all members.
