a Committee of the Islands Keeping Sanibel Special Since 1975 COTI As the new year begins, the Committee of the Islands thought it would be a good time to publish here one of the key documents in our City Charter: The Sanibel Vision Statement. COTI is guided by this statement as we seek to fulfill our mission: To ensure the continuity of good local government, to protect the environment, and to preserve the sanctuary character of our barrier island community. Best wishes from the COTI Board of Directors... Sanibel Vision Statem ent Background To provide a sense of direction for the future, this Vision Statement is a confirmation of the community's shared values and goals, to guide future decisions. Sanctuary Sanibel is and shall remain a barrier island sanctuary, one in which a diverse population lives in harmony with the island's wildlife and natural habitats. The Sanibel community must be vigilant in the protection and enhancement of its sanctuary characteristics. The City of Sanibel will resist pressures to accommodate increased development and redevelopment that is inconsistent with the Sanibel Plan, including this Vision Statement. The City of Sanibel will guard against and, where advisable, oppose human activities in other jurisdictions that might harm the island's sensitive habitats, including the island's surrounding aquatic ecosystems. Com m unity Sanibel is and shall remain a small town community whose members choose to live in harmony with one another and with nature; creating a human settlement distinguished by its diversity, beauty, uniqueness, character and stewardship. Diversity The city of Sanibel cherishes its cultural, social ecological, and economic diversity, and will endeavor to maintain it. Beauty The City of Sanibel will foster quality, harmony and beauty in all forms of human alteration of the environment. The community aesthetic is defined as a casual style; one which is adapted to a relaxed island quality of life and respectful of local history, weather, culture and natural systems. Uniqueness The City of Sanibel chooses to remain unique through a development pattern which reflects the predominance of natural conditions and characteristics over human intrusions. All forms of development and redevelopment will preserve the community's unique small town identity. C h aracter The City of Sanibel chooses to preserve its rural character in its setting within an urbanizing county. "Auto-urban" development influences will be avoided. The commercialization of natural resources will be limited and strictly controlled. Stewardship In keeping with the foregoing principles, the City of Sanibel affirms a land ethic that recognizes landholding-both public and private-as a form of stewardship, involving responsibilities to the human and natural communities of the island and its surroundings, and to future generations. Attraction The Sanibel Community recognizes that its attractiveness to visitors is due to the island's quality as sanctuary and as community. The City of Sanibel will welcome visitors who are drawn by, and are respectful of, these qualities; it will resist pressures to accomm odate visitor attractions and activities that compromise these qualities. Hierarchy of Values This three-part statement of the community's vision of its future is hierarchy; one in which the dominant principle is Sanibel's sanctuary quality. Sanibel shall be developed as a community only to the extent to which it retains and embraces this quality of sanctuary. Sanibel will serve as attraction only to the extent to which it retains its desired qualities as sanctuary and community.

Of course, the love and support of Tom, my mom and grandparents who were constantly by my side and continue to support me have been invaluable.” Over time, Van Netta developed her own home-therapy routine that she does from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., daily, based on a weekly session with her private therapist.
