Letter ToThe Editor
To The Islander:I would like to quote from a
letter received by the PlanningCommittee from the firm ofSasaki, Dawson, DeMay Associ-ates, Landscape Planners, oneof the finest and best known suchoutfits in the country. Mr. Rich-ard E. Galehouse, who signed theletter, is a frequent visitor here.
"Because the Islands are u-nique and physically fragile, theland use controls which guidetheir development must be care-fully designed and tailored to theIslands' special qualities. Lowrise, high quality development isconsistent with the unique quali-ties of the Islands. High rise,high density development is in-compatible and in all likelihoodwould destroy the very charact-eristics which make the islandsso attractive.'*
This firm planned the SeaPines Plantation development onHilton Head, S.C. Building heightsthere are limited to 35 ft. — nonerise over the tree tops. Withsuch an authoritative opinion,Adley Associates should certain-ly stop insisting that high risesare all right on Sanibel and Cap-tiva. Each one of the Commis-sioners received a copy of Mr.Galehouse's letter in the briefprepared by our attorneys.

To The Islander:I first came here five years
ago for two days of shelling withmy late husband. Two years agoI returned with my little girl andfound Sanibel pretty much thesame. It was then, on a longervisit, that I discovered the won-derful birds there.
Last year I noticed a muchgreater change and as a memberof the National Audubon SocietyI became alarmed and before Ileft joined the Sanibel-CaptivaConservation Association. I sub-scribe to the Islander too so thatI might keep posted on develop-ments here.
The big question this week isthe high-rise and how to keep itout. I'd say developers are Justas big a menace. At present atleast six are bulldozing treesand digging canals. How manynext year and how many In 1972.One developer's salesmen toldme when I inquired about a lotthat I wouldn't "be allowed" tobuild a wooden house in their de-velopment. Concrete block, stuc-coed homes may be O.K. In therest of Florida and I'm sure someprefer them to frame here be-cause of upkeep but one afteranother in the same area is hard-ly "Sanibel Island style.'*
Three years ago I left Chicagofor the south suburbs. As an ex-hibitor of show dogs and an ownerof two Spaniels I had to "shop"the best area with the most liberalattitude toward pets. All muni-cipalities have their own rulesand regulations about hundreds ofthings. Perhaps you could In-corporate into a town, village orcity and write your own ticket.Your county is being pushed bystrong and persistent people whohave the money to continue thebattle. Elect your conservation-ists to the legislative bodies andyou might be able to stop thisbefore it gets out of hand.
The Everglades has beenspared the ]et-port, save t h eislands from the developerswhose first business of the day ismoney and not nature.

To The Islander:The Sanibel-Captiva Planning
Committee wishes to expressappreciation to all Islanders andsupporters who were present atthe hearing Feb. 17. This mag-nificent show of strength, over300 people, made a very deepimpression on both the Commis-sioners and those who oppose us.We regret so many had to standbut your presence not only great-ly encouraged our speakers butalso indicated, beyond the shadowof a doubt, where we stand on thehigh rise controversy. Conse-quently, the Commissioners haveindicated, that if Sanibel and Cap-tiva can be designated as a specialarea, they probably will agree to a35 ft. height restriction for us.Our attorneys are p r e s e n t l yworking with the County Attorneyon such an ordinance. However,since we are not yet out of thewoods on this, and will not be un-til all the legal procedures havebeen completed, we ask your con-tinued help by sending In cards,writing the Commissioners, andmaking what contributions youcan to help defray our continuinglegal costs.
