A. Rosemary Cemetery (Plot V) Historic Designation

Board of County Commissioners to be recognized and recorded. Interested in
seeking an easement from the plaza owner at the plot end area for benches and

deeds and donated funds recognized to be accepted as well as a

B. Letter — Agua Colina Parcel -Conservation Collier
■ Ray Bellows: Filling in for Tim who is out sick today with regard to a letter
being sent, Tim had a meeting with our county attorney's office, the findings
of the attorney is that the Preservation Board as a Board should not be sending
a letter; it is not within the purview of the Board; recommendation, any
individual member of the Board can send a letter to the Board of County
Commissioners expressing a desire for them to consider archaeological sites
as a component of Conservation Collier's ranking of properties to purchase.
■ Zach Burch: The current letter needs to be updated from the minutes of
February 16. Change out `Board' to `I', etc.
■ Betsy Perdichizzi: Any one or all of us can send a letter to the BCC.

Board. We will supply the BCC emails.
C. Roberts Ranch Tour Highlights; Selection of Next Site Visit

Roberts family and see what they have done with the Ranch.
■ Ray Bellows: Designated this site initially; recognized how great it has come
along.
■ Future site visit: Margood — currently in procurement for construction; no start
date yet but there is a community building to have the Board meeting. Access
to the building will be coordinated by Ray with Parks and Recreation. If the
date is not available, we will meet here for the next meeting.

6. Old Business
A. Waiver — Palm River RV Motorcoach Resort PUDZ
■ Tim Hall, Tim Hall & Associates: Representing the petitioner. The project is the
renovation and reconfiguration of an existing RV park originally constructed in
the 1960's. The new owners are trying to do some minor renovations to the site
and then it will be for recreational vehicles. There was flooding due to Ian — about
3-3.5 feet of water; a number of trailers were damaged.
■ Ray Bellows: Part of the process to allow for improvements and changes is to the
property owners rezoning the property to what we call a PUD instead of under the
base zoning of RT or mobile home ' e zoning. The PUD zoning district gives
more flexibility in how to deal with design standards and it also will help dealing
with historic archaeological issues. We could write those into the PUD ordinance.
Part of the process requires that if the site is within an area of historic or
archaeological probability they either hire an archaeologist or submit a waiver.
Given the age of the previous development site, they chose to submit a waiver.
Given the amount of development that has occurred over the years, the waiver
seems appropriate.
N' Tim Hall: I don't know the specifics of the management but I do know that they
will be more seasonal based. Some of them will be for trailer RVs and bus RVs.
All of the homes there are being demolished or moved.
■ Ray Bellows: The difference in the change of zoning, a mobile home type zoning
or travel trailer park has different connotations in how they operate. A recreational
vehicle park is a commercial zoning district while a mobile home zoning is a
residential zoning district. You can technically claim residency in a mobile home
whereas these will be transient RV owners.
■ Zach Burch: I move to favor the waiver.
■ Janice O'Connell: Seconds the motion.
March 15, 2024
