The amendment might have allowed the Bailey- . Matthews Shell Museum to use a specific amount of fill to gain access to the higher ground of the parcel on Sanibel-Captiva Road, rather than go the more expensive route of building a piling bridge as is now the code requirement The vote was unexpected, but came about because Councilman Jerry Muench changed his mind regarding the ordinance. "It's not the way to go," he said. At the March 3 meeting, Muench had agreed with the planning staff that the proposal would not harm the dis- trict, and favored considering another draft of the amend- ment, along with Mayor Mike Miracle and Councilman The large Australian pines at the Courtyard Shops on Periwinkle Way.
