Meeting on Old Marco Redevelopment Plan

On Monday, September 11 the residents of Old Marco, as well as any other interested citizens, will have an opportunity to hear a presentation by the developer of the Port Marco property, which was recently sold to Global Investment Properties, LLC. a Missouri Corporation, an undivided 37.9% interest, Unionville Sportsman Club an undivided 12.7% interest and Kyle Smith, an undivided 49.4% interest.

The developer is being represented by Hole-Montes, an engineering services firm located in Naples, Florida. That firm was recently acquired by the Bowman Consulting Group, a publicly traded engineering services firm headquartered in Reston, Virginia. Robert Mulhere, Senior Vice President of Hole-Montes will present their plans for the property. The meeting is open to the public and will begin at 5:30 PM at the Mackle Park Community Center.

This property in question consists of the former trailer court adjacent to the Snook Inn along the Marco River, just east of the Snook property.

The applicants will be seeking two important changes to the City of Marco development regulations - the first to the city’s Comprehensive Plan and the second to the Land Development Code - in an effort to develop that piece of property.

The developers are seeking to replace the 16 mobile homes with 16 detached single-family homes on that same footprint.

The Port Marco manufactured home park had been on the market for several years. The 16 residences which sat on 1.4 acres in Old Marco sold for $16,000,000 in early March of this year. The sale was handled by realtors Gerry Rosenblum and Liz Perez from Berkshire-Hathaway Realty on Marco Island. 

The city council was scheduled to award a contract to Stantec Consulting Services to provide the city with a new overlay master plan for the Old Marco area of the island which this project will have a major impact on.
