VOL. 30, NO. 10 TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1991 THREE SECTIONS, 40 PAGES 50 CENTS Ireland, city make CARL funding bid By Frances Adams Islander staff writer Seeking to receive state funds to acquire sensitive lands, a delegation from Sanibel made a public presentation of its Interior Wetlands Resource Conservation Sanctuary proposal and a Silver Key purchase proposal in Tallahassee last Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 27. Sanibel Assistant City Manager Bill Mills, Sanibel- Captiva Conservation Foundation Executive Director Erick Lindblad and Sanibel city councilmen Mark "Bird" Westall and Wally Kain made two 10-minute oral presentations to the Lands Acquisition Advisory Council of the Department of Natural Resources, the agency responsible for selecting projects to receive funding from its Conservation and Recreation Lands (CARL) Acquisition Program. Sanibel's team had a lot of information to wedge into the short time period, but got a much needed boost when state Rep. Tim Ireland showed up and made a strong bid for funding Sanibel's projects. Mills said Ireland spoke knowledgeably about the projects and the island's efforts to do everything possible to acquire lands. Sanibel representatives had more ammunition this year - - last year's addition of another .25 mill tax the city enacted for land acquisition, bringing Sanibel's total put Photo by PETE SLOSSON aside for land acquisition to .50 mills.

For additional festival highlights, please sensitive lands that have been lost to outside purchasers see page 1B. since this time last year. According to Mills, this year's presentation went more smoothly, and about half of the advisory board already was familiar with Sanibel's projects, having seen one of the Nightly removal and storage presentations last year. Silver Key Surprise Sanibel's contingent got an unexpected lift when one of the board members, during discussion of the Silver Key of beach things may be law acquisition proposal, asked if developer John Armenia had By Frances Adams not affect already approved accessory commercial uses. received an easement from the Bureau of State Lands, a Islander staff writer However, for future applications, it makes the area used division of the state Department of Natural Resources, for Proposed ordinances that would regulate the presence of for storage of beach furniture and equipment count as de- the submerged lands over which Armenia intends to build «ach furniture and equipment on Sanibel shorelines have veloped area (unless it's stored under a stilted structure, a bridge to Silver Key. cleared the first go-round with the Planning Commission. which already counts as developed area).
