Community Panel Sets Goals for 2008
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008Mission
The Captiva Community Panel exists to serve Captiva by maintaining the historic pattern of development on this
barrier island. Such historical growth has consisted of unobtrusive, low-density residential use coupled with
limited commercial development and vehicular traffic. Sensitive to such common concerns, Captiva community
planning is to be maintained in consideration of an environment consisting of clean offshore waters,
diverse and healthy marine life and robust native vegetation.
2008 Draft Goals
1. Write land development code for existing policies and submit to Lee County for approval.
2. Construct safety lanes per design approved by a substantial majority of Captivans.
3. Develop plan and costs for underground electric and submit to property owners for approval.
4. Determine source and level of Captiva pollution into surrounding waters.
5. Increase and broaden community involvement in the work of the Captiva Panel.
6. Amend the Captiva Panel by-laws based on experience since the by-laws were adopted.
As the title above states, these are the draft goals of the Community Panel for 2008. This being the
Community Panel, we invite the Captiva cumminity to comment on these goals.
