the agreement. Craig will meet with the City Planner and the archaeologist
concerned to bring them up to speed and assist them in moving the Inter -local
agreement process along.
VI. New Business

Fred Reischl reported the plans had been approved for mobile workshops as
part of the American Planners Association State Conference to be held in
Naples, September 12 -15. The walking tours Committee Chairman, Lynee'
Rodriguez, requested a walking tour guide for the Immokalee to Everglades
City tour. The tour will meet at the Waldorf Astoria and go by bus to both
places.
Patricia Huff, having led many such tours, offered to conduct the tours. She
has a walking tour guide book for Everglades City; and, will contact the
Chairman for details.
B. Discussion on Possible Future Guest Speakers and Field Trips
Ray Bellows asked for discussion and follow -up on guest speakers and site
visits the HAPB had previously inquired about. The Board Members were
agreeable to visit any sites relative to what will be coming before its Board.
The Olde Marco Inn was mentioned due to the proposed renovations there.
The Board will look to inviting speakers on historic preservation.
Rich Taylor will follow up with the prior invitation for Nick Penniman to
speak on the Calusa Indians.

Fred Reischl provided a map and copies of a Resolution relating to Petition
ST -99 -3 regarding the Little Palm Island Subdivision; now called Horse
February 15, 2012
Creek Estates. A portion of the proposed subdivision contains Old Tamiami
Trail, a "possible archaeological site ". Instructions to the petitioner were: to
provide a historic marker on site and to submit an application for historic
designation prior to plat approval. Old Tamiami Trail, within Horse Creek
Estates, provides access to five lots in Palm River Estates, Unit No. 2.
Plat approval was currently on hold until completion of the cited conditions.
Fred asked the HAPB to discuss appropriate wording for the marker.
Will Dempsey suggested using the 4 40 Historic Marker shown on page 24
of the Historic Guide as a template.
Patricia Huff noted the site will need to be added to the Historic Guide.
Ray Bellows will send out the application for historic designation to the
owners of Horse Creek subdivision. The Application for Historic Designation
and the Historic Marker wording will be placed on next month's agenda.
D. Collier Charter Booklet — Addenda item — Elizabeth Perdichizzi
Elizabeth Perdichizzi passed around a copy of a booklet titled Collier
County Charter, dated 1971. A winter visitor to Marco Island gave the
Marco Island Historic Society an old video tape of Jack Paar's visit to Marco
Island and the copy of the Charter Booklet. Neither Ray Bellows nor Fred
Reischl knew of a Collier County Charter. They will look over the booklet
and check with Collier County Museum Director, Ron Jamro. It may have
been a proposal at one time. Collier County had not adopted a charter, to
anyone's knowledge.
E. Olde Marco Inn renovation project — Dave Wainscott
Dave Wainscott of Dave Wainscott Designs, addressed the HAPB regarding
renovations to the Olde Marco Inn. Planned was:
• renovation and re -use of the second floor level of the original
structure, making it into boutique guest suite facilities in the design of
the 1930- 1940's era
• recreating the original entrance exterior back to its former look as
depicted in older photos of the building
• expanding and renovating the restaurant
• completing renovations over the summer months
Discussion followed on the procedures to follow due to the fact the Olde
Marco Inn was a designated historical building. Also, the property was now
located in the City of Marco; which pointed out the tie -in with the need for
an Inter -local Agreement.
Ray Bellows explained the Certificate of Appropriateness and its
presentation to the HAPB, who will review the criteria to determine if the
plans were in compliance.
Coordination with the Building Officials of the City of Marco had been
assured and they will go along with Collier County's procedures.

- the Useppa Island Club, a Barron Collier structure and The Everglades City
Bank, turned into a Bed and Breakfast.
Elizabeth Peridchizzi commented she was happy to see what the owners were
planning and that fire safety issues would be addressed.
Patricia Huff stated the Historic Guide would need updating to reflect the
changes and the current owners.
Elizabeth Perdichizzi offered to provide information she had about the Olde
Marco Inn and about the new owners.

process. The HAPB will review them at the next meeting.
