ROGO amendments gain City Council okay

Five of the six amendmentsapproved last week deal withmulit-family development onSanibel.

The City Council last week followed the lead of itsadvisory board »nd approved a pUm for a one-tlmccatch-up that will complete all but three pendingmulti-family projects in the November Kate ofGrowth allocations.

The proposal was advanced by Mariner'roperties. Inc., as aii amendment to the Rate of -

Growth ordinance and was approved by the councflon second reading last Tuesday.

Five other amendments to ROGO, all but onedealing with multi-family category, were also ap-proved.

Under the catchup, one-shot scheme each of theId multi-family projects in (he November com-L'tiiion will !x? cl'Riblc to receive one dwelling unit>r cadi four-month period the project has been in? system.Z2 of ihe 44 units available in the multi-family

reserves will be used to complete seven of thejrnjecis.

Twenty more units will go to Uic three oUierrojects. Mariner's Tortuga Beach Club will beligible for 13 units, leaving three more to go forompletion of the M-unlt time share complex.

Dodrill's condominium merits three, leaving threostill In the bin. And Caplran's Tarpon Hcaort OvttchCub will be allotted Sour, leaving seven still on Itiebooks.

Three new dupJet applications are entitled tothree units under the no beneficial uso priority, andthe Planning Commission lias the discretion to dininto the surplus to firant three more units to com-plete the relocated structures,

Planning Director Bruce Rogers pointed out thaithe same results of clearing the deck could be ac-

complished under the present system.36 units could be allocated through beneficial use

and phased development priorities and Ihc eightremaining allocated by liw point system, he said.'This would leave only tnree projects, but theymight not be the same Ujrce," Rogers said.

Councilman Louise Johnson said she preferred: tofollow the current method and not denigrate theintegrity of the Bale of Growth ordinance.

By approving so many amendments the im-plication might be that the allocation proceduresfollowed In the post were not correct, Johnson snld.

Councilman Mike Klein was concerned (hatspeeding up the inuiti- family process was opposed toROGO's original Intent of trying to balance housingtypes on the Island.

Rogers pointed out that in any event 45 multi-family units will be allocated In this ROGO year,and the impact is the same regardless of the methodused.

Mayor Fred Viiltin suggested that makingallocations for longevity mandatory would be easiertor/Jit Planning Commission.

• "... Klein's motioii io approve the cetch-up planpassed: tiy a 3-3 vote with Johnson dissenting andCouncilman Bill Hjgerup absent.

The council agreed to a major change that wouldmake one-third of each of the three type* of housingreserves available In each of the three ttOGOperiods. This will make 15 multi-femily dwellingunits available for each allocation and spreadcorstrucU.in throughout the year.

Councilman Mike Klein wasconcerned that speeding upthe multi-family process wasopposed to ROGO's originalintent of trying to balancehousing types on the Island.

Councilman Louise Johnsonsaid she preferred to follow thecurrent method and notdenigrate the integrity of theRate of Growth ordinance.

By approving so manyamendments the implicationmight be that the allocationprocedures followed in the pastwere not correct, Johnson said.

Rogers pointed out that change wit! increase tbncrunch In the single-family category and result insome applicants having to wait longer before theycan begin building.

The council also approved giving multi-familyprojects credit of up to one dwelling unit for eachfoor-nwrnth period the project nas been pending tofacilitate completion. These unfts would come fromsurplus.

A fourth eiement was added to the subjectivecriteria HJC commission uses to score multi-familyprojects. One-tenth of a point will he credited toscores for each, four-month period dicing which theapplication hai been pending.

Dick Sproat, Mariner's director of development,.said this measure will help ihc older projects, suchas Tortiiga Beach Club, that have had difficulty incompeting in Ihe scoring with newer developments.

Mariner had suggested a half point credit (orlength of time In the system.

The council approved a change that will authoriseIssuing a building; permit for construction of allbelow grade, level loundoUons for a multi-familyproject be/ore all KOGO allocations are obtained.

Taking Into account that in Marcli 1985 single-family opp!IcaUcrt holdovers from last July will becompeting with' Itcldovors expected In theNovember allocation, the council agreed thatpriority for units available should go tirst to thoseapplicants in the system Uw longest.

Tlic council adopted the revised ordinance by o 4-0vole. • ,

Revised driveway plans at Periwinkle Placewill allow pine to stayThe City Council has approved

relocation of Ihe new driveway en-trance at the Periwinkle Placechopping center expansion project.The relocation will save an Australianpine tree, one of two orjgliiallyscheduied to be removed.

Bill Patric, the city's noxious plantcontrol officer, recommended theremoval of the tree because It is "verystressed and has not recovered from asevere trim-back several years ago."

Removal «f the tree would provideclearer visibility for traffic exitingfrom Ihe shopping center onto busyPeriwinkle Way. he said.

Councilman i/iuise Johnson, wltosupports preservation of the pines Ihatform an arch over Periwinkle Way,'viewed losing only one Instead of twotrees as "a slight gain.**

The business is hairfor Islander Pat Kair

I'M Kair Sieves there's nolhi?Ue Slaving your own business. Andalter a 12-year "retirement," shehas her own shop again ~ Pal'iHair Care off Periwinkle Way.

After graduating from DanvilleBeauty School SU y«ars ago andtraining under Bennett Rosin andJhert Khcding (of Redkln fame),Kair learned the joys and travails ofhaving her own shop in Illinois.

But alter Ifl years of busfness tile,she "retired" lo altend to herfamily. Ten years ago ihc familymoved to Sanibel. And now that her

youngest child. Lee. is 15, Kair feelsshe can once again manage abusiness.

"It's nice having a profession 1can go back Into for the next 30years," she laughs. "I'm thrilled tobe open — I was ready to do thisnow."

Her new shop is tbe old Nave'•toncymoon cottage." Rumor hasit many of the Naves were bornthere. Kair has set-up her businessmuch like a small home in thequaint, older collage.

Several liair cutting "station*"are In the front Jiving room.Shampoos are given on the way tothe kitchen, and the kitchen shelvesserve as the "dispensary" forvarious hair care products. For theclient's privacy, Kair uses a backbedroom as the "color" room

Outside flle3 a flag. WUen it's up,Kair is In doing business. When it'sdown, the shop Is closed.

Kair expects to be open from 7:30a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday throughFriday and will take men andwomen as clients. TJiat's a prettybusy schedule — but Kairremembers having 250 "standinpcustomers" — those who keptregular schedules - at her Illinoisshop.

"I'm Just not the kind who canstay at home and do nothing," shesays. And though she expects todevote much time to business, shewill not allow it to detract fromother activities she's found Im-portant here on Sanlbei. This in-cludes her work with the Shell Club— particularly teaching about shellsat the Sanibel Elementary School

Tourist Development Council willfight to keep tourist tax dollars in promotion

At Iroal for this fiscal year It uppcars that moneycolirctud from the 2 percent "*TSSor, lax" will continueto be used lo promote off-season tourism in LeeCounty.

But that fact is not guaranteed, said Frank Nocera,executive director of the tee County TouristDevelopment Council. A tonr-ftflha vote of the LiteCounty Commission could change where the moneygoes, he explained.

The resort tax is over and above the regular salestax and Is tacked on U> the price of hotel rooms in thecounty. Voters approved the tax in a referendum twoyean* ajjo.

The tax money •— which added up to $2 million lostyear, much of it collected from resorts en Sanibel andCaptiva — was by law designated for promotingtourism for the first two years of the tax. That two-year period runs out Oct. l.

With this in mind, tbe Lee County Commission in itsrecent budget review considered using the tax moneylor all kinds of projects, including paving the parkinglot at the County Courthouse.

But a strong protest led by at least 50 people in thercsoil Industry swayed the commission to keep the laxmoney budgeted to the TDC, Nocera said.

TheSanibel-CaptivaChamberoI Commerce wentonrecord as being "very much opposed" to the tax beingused for anything other than promoting tourism,according to Walter Kile, executive director of tbechamber.

Nocera says the results or the tourist promotionshave fan*t£Med what they had hoped.

"The best way we can judge tbe results Is through ,tbe resort tux collection," Nocera said. "In May thisyenr we cnllecLnd 21 percent .roar* in taxes Uimn InMay last year. And in June we were up 19 percentWlien we have all the results in for the summer season

The Sanibel-Captiva Chamberof Commerce went on record asbeing "very much opposed" tothe tax being used for anythingother than promoting tourism,according to Walter Klie,executive director of thechamber.

The tax money — which addedup to $2 million last year, muchof it collected from resorts onSanibel and Captiva — was bylaw designated for promotingtourism for the first two years ofthe tax. That two-year periodruns out Oct. 1.

then we will have an even beUer idea of bow we aredoing" - .

Nocera added that since April X9M the TDC has badmore than 16,000 Inquiries to response to its ad'verttsements.

Research has shows that the state of Florida,specifically the Miami, Tampa and Orlando areas, Istnc best nutrkft for offseason tourism.promotion,Nocera said.

The TDC has us»(d both electronic and print mediafor promotion. National advertising has appeared Inthe Wall Street Journal, Better Homes and Gardens,Travel and Leisure and Southern Living, Nocera said.

The TDC Is also developing an awareness of LeeCounty overseas, including giving tours of the countyW overseas travel writers-

Loraine Maroon, executive vice president ofMarquis Hotels and Kesorts, which runs severalresort* on San.be. and CspUva, safd many counties InFtorlda ore competlnfi for tourists."

"Broward, Palm Beach and other counties all havesomething like our Tourist Development Council,"Marooosaid..

"Plnellas County used to have a 'bed-tax,' but It wastaken away and now tourism In that county Is failingapart," Maroon added.

"People have to realize that if tourists come downtiere they will ipread the money around In stored andrestaurants," sht said. "It the money were spent onsomething like a stadium (a possibility Maroon saidwas discussed by the commission) that won't helpbring people here."

Maroon safd she felt that if the resort tax were takenaway from promoting tourism, all the money spentover the past two years would have been wasted.

"Lee County is becoming known," she stressed."And it needs the money to continue to be promoted."

Since man Invaded the alligator's territory, all1 kinds of newi stork's have distorted the real1 truth about this "dangerous * species1 Headlines such as "Man Mauled By Gator 'I 'Swimmer Outswims Gator", Warnings PostedI After Alligator AUack", "The Log mat BitI Back", gciietate myth and fear In persons w!x>[I are unfamiliar *lth our Florida habitats andII have gone a long way toward damaging the| reputation ef our ancient and «ncrabJe citizen,I which, Incidentally, supports the FloridaI economy tv> a major extent.If In on ef rcrt to sort out these questions we KhaliI take a look at the truth about alligators and their1 potential Uinwt lu bunwn*. when such exWa.I Actually, in the last three decades only sixI deaths have been attributed to alligator attacksI In the whole state of Florida. In one weekendI recently six people died after befng hit by1 Chevrolet Last week a horse kicked and killedI a boy wi a ranch near DnlJaa, Texas.| 1 have not heard of any movement to eliminateI Chevrolets from our reads, nor have 1 heard anyI suggestions that horses be removed from Texas

ranchesActually, here on Sanlbel we are better off than

I anybody else in In the state because our[I alligators are protected and prevented from• becoming dangerous by a law our city govera-II ment wteely passed about 10 years ago. This lawI states that It U illegal to feed or entfee wild, Iree-1 reaming alligators.I ItisourcontettUonUutifyoudonotfeedtbem,I which U another way of saying "Lame" orI"condJUoix'V .alligators to, expect food fromI people, then most alligators will not become1 nuisance animals or become la any way

It is our experience on Sanlbel that alligatorsthat are' not fed arc not nuisances In 99.9 percentof the cases, that one-tenth of one percent doesexist, and there are a couple of dangerousanimals right here on Sanlbel. But I believe theyare old animals left over from the days when thefeeding or alligators was very prevalent.

One of those old, dangerous animals was founddead on Sept 18, apparently of natural causes.Police Chief John Butler found the gator at theend of Dixie Beach Boulevard. It was brought tothe Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundationcenter by Steve Phillips, where tt waa measuredand Its marks were checked In the records. Itproved to be the famous "Marshall." Phillipsand I measured the dead animal at II feet, 8^"jches.. . .,., ' ; . • ; . . •

Marshall was an old tnlmal. He had beencoodttkmed to where he expected to be fed. Hewen entirely too tame and could be considered tobe dangerous because his conditioning predatedthe no-feed-um law. , •'•'' ..'.•.:,'.,.

I do not believe there, would have to be anuisance alligator program In Florida if the lawthat. prevents, fht feeding and. enticing of

CampbeU'salligator facts

1. Alligators cannot run 40mph, nor can they swim ,very fast.

2. They can stay underwaterfor a long time

3. They cannot "chew" theirprey to pieces

alligators were rigidly enforced. (Thai law, bythe way. has become a state, luw due toSanlbclian influence.) I believe slitgaturs thatare not fed or enticed are oktft neighbors

This belief tracks die ttxperienct! in ournational parks with bears Give a Vrtlewstmjebear a peanut butter sandwich and you mightspoil that bear for life. He will be condittoned. Ifnwill search campsites, can and picnic aroxa forhandouts and will be a dangerous bear-

Here on Sanlbei .the ; Southwest .FloridaAlligator Association, of which I am founder andchairman, pioneered the idea of re-educating"tame" animals. We simply drive thieaa off gfrcnthey &t too tame after being corbdiUooetE byfeeding. -'• • ' •-•. .--.- - r ../-:•' .- *. - "

Pall has always btrn one ot my favorite Umes en[he water Tor two reasons: i«w people and moreredftsh.

The pressure on most of our local fish certainly Isreduced considerably as we enter our off season, butSeptember and October are ttw traditional "bigred" redfish runs. From all indication thus far, itseems the trend has siirrady started this year.

Just why the annual run occurs is mostly talliedup to educated guesses, but apparently It has to dowith trie migration of several kinds ot baltflsJt •toward the warmer southern waters for the winter.

The action never lasts lung, perhaps a month orso, but In that t line you can really have a great timecatching these fish. . ,

If you are new to saltwater fishing. let medescribe the cwdfish. It Is a member of the drumfamily, called that because It con make a drummingsound wffh Its internal organ*, There are manymembers of the "drum family aboui the Islandwater*, but the redf««h !(*!!*

One of our old Mends from JacksenvUh: aroundthe upper xast-ccttst ot the state calls the rndflsh •

red bass, so you can see the fish has muny localnames.

Whatever you call It, this fish has a distinctivecopper coloration ami there is always the telltaleblack dot on the tail. There might be more Uuui onedot, but in all the years that I've caught redffsh I'veonly seen ooe without any dcts.' The red Id a strange fish. Some will be around theIsUnds all year long, mostly working small baitsunder the mangrove trees of the islands In Pine .Island Sound. A big back bay red might be ispounds. '

But this time of year reds that weigh 20 poundsand more move In, and they don't seem to be caughtIn the mangrove Island *pot».

Instead, these reds will work toe beaches, againwhere the • migrating flrii are traveling. Some floecatches come from Hedftsh pass and CapUva Pass,but ttte biggest reds seem to patrol the beaches,

Many times fine catches of reds Are made bybeach RJ3gJ»r» using shrimp, pinflsh, plgflsh or evenjigs tipped with shrimp Reds are school fish thatseem to like to stay with other reds their own ageundsiie that theyprobably were raised with.

OIK warm September morning last year we

. caught three reds that weighed within a few euncnol 15pounds. They looked like a matched set. •-:.'

Many anglers don't really care for the meat ofrcdi that weigh that much, but we found the tastywhitemeat delightful. .

Like the snook, reds work the beaches. A stza'4/0hook with 40-pound mono leader are the Ingredientsyou need to get a piece of the action. You wUI need tobe able to cast a good 100 feet from shore to reach

'. reds. ". • - . . . . . . rShorebound anglers can find good action from the

rocks at Turner's Beacb on the CapUva side of theBlind Pass Bridge — when the reds decide to show. Iutfggest working the outgoing tide there, preferable,in the early morning hoars. • ' ,

CapUva seems to draw more reds along shore, andalmost any beach is a good place to start Boataoglen can work ttteit way along the beaches orpuses. POD1! fish In any one place for more Uian 30minutes.

Good luck, Let'staope the red* show so I won't looklike a teller o£ ftcb trie* - and pertup) you«aa bookacoapte.
