Baker honored Committee praises retiring city employee

tf f*l Since 1861 Stif! first on Sanibel and Captiva Islands

VOL 32, NO. 49 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1993 3 SECTIONS, 32 PAGES 50 CENTS City purchase of Old Bailey Store lot recommended By Steve Ruediger Islander staff writer The Old Bailey Store property on the bay at the end of Bailey Road has been offered to the city of Sanibel for $1,265 million. City Manager Gary Price plans to recom- mend at today's, Tuesday, Dec. 7, Sanibel City Council meeting that the council agree to the purchase. This 7.35 acres is the property which has been under option to developer John Armenia. The attempts by Armenia to clear the way legally to build a dock on the property to be used by three homes he would have built there have been the subject of a number of discussions by local government bodies and a number of newspaper arti- cles in the past few years. That option apparently no longer exists because the property is now being offered to the city by its owners, the Bailey family. Specifically, Francis Bailey made the offer on behalf of himself and his brothers, Sam and John. The Old Bailey Store, which had been on the site, was moved to a location behind the Island Historical Museum. It was renovated and, two weeks ago, opened as part of an historical village which is being built. •Island.-holiday decorations Therefore the bay-front land on Bailey Road is now Typical island Christmas scenes like this one featuring a pooiside Christmas tree with all the decorative trim- vacant. mings are starting to pop up across Sanibel and Captiva.
