Ordinance Policy and Rules - chair vacant- Last meeting March 2, 2022 Ms. Lenhard reported the joint meeting with the Lands Evaluation & Management Subcommittee was held to review the proposed revisions to the ICSR scoring form. 8. Chair Committee Member Comments During Committee comments, the following was noted: • The Ordinance governing the Program may be amended as needed, and the process generally takes 1 — 2 months once it is recommended to the Board of County Commissioners for approval. • Staff should review the requirements for convening meetings by Zoom to ensure quorum are met for meetings and whether those Members participating by phone or other remote means may cast votes on items. Consideration should be given to incorporating promotional materials to the acquisition notification letters sent out to property owners. 9. Public General Comments Brad Cornell, Audubon Florida and Audubon of the Western Everglades noted he supports an accelerated purchase process as it is especially important given the competition for land acquisition in the area. Other initiatives should include advancing the Target Protection Area mailings timeline, and continuing the activities involved with preserve expansion parcels. Meredith Budd, Florida Wildlife Federation agreed with Mr. Cornell's recommendations and noted it is disappointing to see applications withdrawn by owners. The ranking process utilized by the County has been successful, but it may be beneficial to initiate a "rolling acquisition" process given the nature of the active real estate market. 10. Staff Comments Ms. Araque noted: • In response to the public comments, Staff is already working on accelerating the Target Protection Area mailing timeline and expansion of existing preserves including approaching owners if they become aware a property of interest is listed for sale. 11 May 4, 2022 The Volunteer Recognition Luncheon was held by the Parks and Recreation Department on 4/16/22 where volunteers John Larson, Tom Mortenson, Gil Grady, Peter Root and Paul Benzing were recognized by Conservation Collier.

Land Acquisition Advisory Board Conservation Collier Applicant Supplemental Information Applicant Name: Louise M. Cromwell Representation of Interests: Please explain your relationship with and business interests relating to the following topics: Environmental and Conservation: I am a member of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, the Naples Botanical Garden, Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, the Audubon Society, and the Naples Native Plant Society. In Washington, DC, I am a member of the Potomac Riverkeeper Network and the Audubon Naturalist Society. Agricultural and Business: None. I am fully retired from the practice of law. Educational: Duke University (B.A. 1966; J.D. 1969), Graduate Courses in Landscape Design, George Washington University, (1997-2002). 1 participate in a Great Decisions Discussion Group sponsored by the Naples Council on World Affairs. General Civic and Citizen: I am a member of the League of Women Voters of Collier County (Environmental Affairs Committee) and Greater Naples Leadership. I have been the Chair of the 1 Garden Committee of my Naples condominium community, La Villa Riviera, for over 15 years and am active in the design and care of our gardens. I can think of no more important civic duty than working to combat climate change caused by human activity and preserving habitat for our native plants and animals. I think the mission of Conservation Collier is of great importance. If my interests and skill set would enable me to be an effective member of the Land Acquisition Advisory Board, I would be honored to serve. While I generally spend about seven months a year in Collier County, I am certainly willing to commit to returning to Naples for regular year-round monthly meetings. I also anticipate that there will be many materials to review, as well as time spent learning about the activities and objectives of the Board. Individual Member Expertise, Knowledge or Interest: Please elaborate on any experience, knowledge or interest you have in the following subjects: Ecology: Gardening has been a lifelong pleasure for me. Much of my gardening was done in Zone 7 in a small residential garden in Washington, DC, although I was able to experiment with a larger landscape (3 acres) in suburban Maryland after my retirement. I also earned graduate credits over a five-year period in the Landscape Design Program at George Washington University. Some time ago, the Board at my low-rise 32-unit condominium community in Naples (La Villa Riviera), asked me to redesign our very outdated landscaping. Over the next 15 years, a neighbor and I worked to educate ourselves on gardening in a semi -tropical climate and to create gardens that are both environmentally sound and pleasing to our unit owners. This has been a truly rewarding hands-on experience that has taught me a great deal, not only about native plants and Zone 9b/10a conditions, but about harmonious community living. Of course, gardens aren't just for looking pretty and soothing the soul. Climate change and habitat loss are more important concerns. I am a great admirer of Doug Tallamy and his Homegrown National Park movement. We all try to do our bit, however small. I design and maintain a shrub and perennial "beautification" garden at the entrance to the Newark Street Community Garden in Washington, DC. This community garden on public land managed by the DC Parks & Recreation Department has over 220 fenced plots worked by individual gardeners, mostly devoted to vegetables. Everything is organic. We maintain 6 actively turned compost bins for the use of our gardeners. In accordance with Tallamy's principles, I am working to incorporate at least 70% native shrubs and perennials in the area assigned to me. Conservation: My passion for the outdoors began with my childhood as a tree -climbing, crawfish - catching tomboy and continues to this day. I am an avid birder and spend many happy hours roaming the public areas of Collier County. Of course, it's not just about the birds. Without a healthy ecosystem, we would have no birds. I live within 5 minutes of Freedom Park and bird there at least two or three times a week. As you know, Freedom Park is a tiny miracle: a built and natural filter marsh, a wildlife habitat, an urban recreation area, and, especially with the new 2 weirs and canal improvements, a stormwater management star. Even on the quietest day for wildlife, Freedom Park never disappoints; there is always at least one treasure to discover. Most recently, twin baby Barred Owls have appeared. Of course, Otter Mound is a favorite haunt for birders, especially during fall and spring migration. saw my first Caracaras and Sandhill Crane babies at Pepper Ranch. Greater Naples Leadership recently did a "Done in a Day" volunteer project to publicize the Conservation Collier trails. I wrote the report for the walk my GNL Class took on the Greenway. I was even lucky enough to get to visit the Railhead Scrub Preserve once several years ago, on a private tour with the Naples Native Plant Society. I look forward to exploring the Gore property. I have always enjoyed the Conservation Collier venues, but the early days of the pandemic made me even more grateful for these treasures. My son and his wife and my two grandchildren, then 5 and 9, arrived in Naples on March 18, 2020, the day all the beaches were closed to the public, to "shelter while the pandemic passed." How naive we were. They stayed for six weeks. We spent every single morning hiking the Conservation Collier and CREW venues when all the other parks were shutting down. They really were a lifesaver. I realize that recreation is certainly not the only goal for acquisition of Conservation Collier preserves, nor should it be, but if citizens have an opportunity to experience at least a few of these venues personally it builds support for the program. The recent referendum continuing the acquisition program is a demonstration of the taxpayers' approval of the way their money has been spent. Birding has also given me the opportunity to understand how a single individual acting as a tiny part of a very large movement can make a difference for our ecology. The last time I checked, eBird, which is operated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, had 782,497 participating eBirders worldwide who have together submitted 67,278,492 complete checklists reporting 10,634 species. On April 26, 2022, the Tuesday morning birding group in which I participate at the Naples Botanical Garden reported 42 species and 201 individuals over a three-hour period. I try to submit complete checklists every time I bird as an individual. Freedom Park usually yields 25 to 30 species in about an hour and a half. eBird transforms statistics from the global birding community into a powerful resource for research, conservation and education. Real Estate or Land Acquisition: Following my graduation from Duke Law School in 1969 1 became a staff attorney for Florida Rural Legal Services based in Ft. Myers but also serving Immokalee. Our clients were primarily migrant farmworkers. In 1974 1 moved to Washington DC where I was an Associate Attorney with Steptoe & Johnson and later a Partner with Shaw Pittman Potts & Trowbridge (now Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman). My specialty was commercial real estate transactions and finance, primarily representing developers, banks and tenant corporations. 9 My work involved reviewing large amounts of data; spotting and reducing risks; preparing legal memoranda, contracts, loan documents, leases, etc.; clarifying imprecise language to avoid costly misunderstandings; facilitating agreement among very intelligent, tough and often rather strong- willed professionals; ensuring compliance with the law; and closing transactions under demanding deadlines. During the 1990's I also had the opportunity to serve on the boards of two publicly traded companies: FTP Software (NASDAQ) and Crestline Capital, Inc. (New York Stock Exchange), a Marriott spinoff which invested in hotel properties. In each case I served on the Governance Committees and focused on ethical and compliance issues. I benefited from the experience of working as a team with other board members, the company executives and staff. Land Appraisal: None. Land Management: None. Eco-Tourism: None as an operator, but I am an enthusiastic participant in such adventures. Most recently I enjoyed a two week-long small group birding expedition to Costa Rica.

Summary Applying to Conservation Collier for acquiring the RIBS Property during the 111h Acquisition Cycle serves both the City of Marco Island and Collier County. The RIBS property no longer serves any useful purpose to the Marco Island Utility. RIBS has been dormant since the retirement and demolition of the Mainsail Treatment facility. The City of Marco Island must maintain the property and pay taxes on it despite it no longer serving any useful purpose. The most profitable development of the property would be as 82 residential units. That however is contingent upon the developer of the property purchasing additional acreage from Fiddler's Creek to expand the required infrastructure improvements. Since Fiddler's Creek has expressed no desire to sell this additional land, the property sits as a zoned Utility parcel with no use for the surrounding development. Fiddler's Creek has expressed no interest in purchasing the property, making the necessary residential infrastructure upgrades, and developing the parcel itself. The property is home to bald eagles, and other endangered species and contains prime wetlands and hardwood habitat. Converting the RIBS property into a Conservation Collier Preserve would involve minimal remediation and none of the major infrastructure upgrades required for residential development. The property shares many of the characteristics of the Rookery Bay National Estuarine system just across route 951 and a recently purchased (Cycle 10) parcel that is also contiguous to Fiddler's Creek. Given that there has been no private interest in developing the land the last time it went to bid, and Conservation Collier is very interested in parcels of this nature, selling the land to them seems like a win -win proposition for both the City of Marco Island and Conservation Collier. Description of the RIBS Property The RIBS property is a parcel of vacant land containing an area of 43.00 acres. The property was previously utilized as a series of three treated effluent wastewater settling ponds in conjunction with the Marco Shores Wastewater Treatment Plant on Mainsail Drive. The two were linked by underground pipes running over one mile in length. The property is zoned Utility within the Fiddler's Creek PUD and could be used as a utility plant site for sewer or water system utilities and/or distribution and storage facility for treated effluent. Fiddlers Creek has no need for either use. Minor improvements to the current property include unpaved roads, culverts, valves, a perimeter fence, piping, groundwater monitoring wells, berms, and signs. The sole ingress and egress to the property is along an existing service easement that connects to Fiddler's Creek (Exhibit B, City of Marco Island, 2021). 3 Access via Marsh Drive Easement in Fiddler's Creek The parcel is irregularly shaped and has no road frontage. Physical access to the property is via a 50-foot-wide easement that extends south from Marsh Drive in Fiddler's Creek, and then runs southeasterly to the northwest corner of the parcel. The easement is approximately one mile long and is improved as a dirt grade filled to about three feet above the natural ground elevation. From the RIBS property to Collier Boulevard (SR-951) is a driving distance of approximately 3.4 miles, or to US-41 a Greenway Road, about 3.2 miles. The condition of access is poor (Exhibit B, City of Marco Island, 2021). XF94 4 A perimeter berm and system of interior berms stand about five feet above natural land elevation and the basin bottoms. The berms create three infusion ponds. The berms are wide enough to support maintenance vehicle traffic. When the property served as a Rapid Infiltration Basin system associated with the Marco Island Utilities wastewater treatment plant, tertiary treated water was pumped to and dispersed across the infusion ponds. There was one monitoring well in the basin system and others to the northwest and southeast used to track water quality. Ground cover inside each infusion pond is a thick growth of grasses and herbs. The berms themselves are regularly mowed. Outside the perimeter berm is a thick fringe of vegetation consisting of a mix of native plants and invasive exotics. Elevation Ranging from 2 feet to 7 feet above mean sea level. There are no utilities other than the remnants of the treated wastewater transfer lines that once connected it to the Mainsail Treatment Facility. The property is bordered on the south, east and west by conservation land owned by the State of Florida Marine Resources Rookery Bay National Estuarine. To the north is part of the Fiddler's Creek PUD and the Fiddler's Creek Golf Course (Exhibit B, City of Marco Island, 2021). 5 Development of the Property for Residential Use Development of the property as an 82 single-family home project (appraiser's best use) is contingent the following "Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions" (Exhibit B, City of Marco Island, 2021). 1. To develop the RIBS property for residential use, access will have to be expanded and improved. This includes the construction of a 2-lane driveway one mile long from Marsh Drive southeast to the parcel. To accomplish this, substantial site work is needed including fill to bring most of the site up to a useable elevation. When that is accomplished, the site will remain isolated down a long, narrow driveway, and the location in Fiddler's Creek will remain distant from basic goods and services outside of the PUD. 2. Utilities will have to be extended to the site. The existing easement is 15' wide. Minimum right-of-way and utility easements within the Fiddler's Creek PUD are 50'. Therefore, additional land will have to be acquired from FCC Marsh, LLC. the developer of Fiddler's Creek. Development of the property for residential use is based on the extraordinary assumption that FCC Marsh, LLC, successor to 951 Land Holdings, Ltd., is willing to sell land for the expansion of the access road. 3. The parcel is zoned Utility within the Fiddler's Creek PUD and can only be used as a utility plant site for sewer or water system utilities and/or distribution and storage facilities for treated effluent. There is a perpetual, non-exclusive easement currently in place for the purpose of installation and maintenance of an underground effluent transmission system and facilities. To successfully develop the RIBS property for residential use, the easement currently in place will have to be revised to specifically allow for additional utility lines and improved ingress and egress. Therefore, the market value will be based on the extraordinary assumption that FCC Marsh, LLC, successor to 951 Land Holdings, Ltd., is willing to agree to make the necessary revisions to the existing easement (Exhibit B, City of Marco Island, 2021). Conservation Collier Overview Conservation Collier is a county organization, funded by voter ballot, that uses tax -payer dollars to preserve and protect private property by purchasing it and keeping it from ever being developed. The acquired properties are called "Preserves" and range from less than one acre to several thousand acres scattered across Collier County. Since its inception, funds have been used to acquire and manage 4,345 acres of preserve land in 21 different locations throughout Collier County. Approximately 20% of the taxes collected were put into a fund for management of existing preserve lands in perpetuity so that no additional tax collections would be required for the management of these existing preserves (Conservation Collier Faqs (2022). 0 How Conservation Collier Acquires Land Conservation Collier is a willing seller program. In order to acquire a property, sellers must indicate that they want to participate in the program. Properties are selected in three ways: • By program staff contacting a property owner after screening databases to select those lands with environmental qualities that support program goals • By citizen nomination of a property. • By property owner application. For selected or nominated properties, only property owners who respond positively to staff inquiry (are willing sellers) will have their lands further evaluated for possible purchase. The Program will only work with willing seller property owners. Citizens may nominate properties by sending a letter or e-mail addressed to staff. Property owners may apply directly using Conservation Collier's convenient website portal (Conservation Collier Faqs (2022). Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program Initial Screening Criteria Nominations to the Conservation Collier Program are based on satisfying at least two of the initial screening criteria below. Qualified sites shall then be further prioritized by secondary evaluative criteria. 1. Are any of the following unique and endangered plant communities found on the property? • Hardwood hammocks. • Xeric oak scrub. • Coastal strand. • Native beach. • Xeric pine. • High marsh (saline). • Tidal freshwater marsh. • Other native habitats. 2. Does land offer significant human social values, such as equitable geographic distribution, appropriate access for nature -based recreation, and enhancement of the aesthetic setting of Collier County? 3. Does the property offer opportunities for protection of water resource values, including aquifer recharge, water quality enhancement, protection of wetland dependent species habitat, and flood control? 7 4. Does the property offer significant biological values, including biodiversity, listed species habitat, connectivity, restoration potential and ecological quality? 5. Does the property enhance and/or protect the environmental value of current conservation lands through function as a buffer, ecological link or habitat corridor? 6. Is the property within the boundary of another agency's acquisition project? (Conservation Collier Screening Criteria, 2022) After passing the initial screening, properties are then given an in-depth, on -site evaluation by Conservation Collier Field Biologists. Following the field visits, all properties are given a score and ranked accordingly. A nine -member citizen advisory committee, called the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC) makes the final ranking and then sends their recommendations to the Collier County Commissioners. The Collier County Commissioners make the final decision regarding which properties will be acquired. All meetings are held in the sunshine and the public are invited to speak about any of the parcels. Ultimate Use Decisions Public access, consistent with conservation goals, is one of the hallmarks of Conservation Collier. Lands are managed for natural resource -based recreation and education, including 0 activities such as environmental education, hiking, nature photography, bird -watching, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, hunting and fishing. Conservation Collier staff prepare individual property management plans that include opportunity for public input. The RIBS property meets more than two of the initial screening criteria and could ultimately provide many of the natural resource -based recreational activities listed above for Marco Islanders and other Collier County residents.
