Red Coconut’s ROW Woes Continue
It’s not only Lee County’s Right Of Way (ROW) that’s giving Red Coconut
owner Fran Myers heartaches these days. On Wednesday afternoon, crews
from the Town of Fort Myers Beach’s Public Works department installed
permanent signs along her property’s Donora frontage advising guests of
the RV park not to park their vehicles within 20 feet of the road,
citing a section of the Land Development Code Myers says was never meant
to apply to Red Coconut. CLICK HERE to read the full story.
Steele Outlines Final Budget, CIP and Reserves Requirements
On Thursday afternoon, the Town Council of Fort Myers Beach held
their final public workshop on the proposed 0.8 millage rate and budget
for the 2016/2017 fiscal year. Despite some residents’ concerns about
funding for Bay Oaks and two councilmembers who thought that 0.8 was too
low, Council moved the budget forward as-is to the final public hearing
later that evening. San Carlos Island resident and Bay Oaks supporter Charlie Whitehead
voiced concerns about Bay Oaks and said the proposed budget shortchanges
the taxpayers and residents. CLICK HERE to read the full story.
Barricades Come Down
Travelers on Estero Boulevard in the area near Key Estero Plaza no
doubt noticed something markedly different on Thursday morning – the
concrete barrier erected in the center of the road in early July is now
gone. On Wednesday afternoon, crews from the County’s Estero Boulevard
reconstruction project began removing the orange barrels and concrete
barrier wall from Lani Kai to Miramar Street. By Thursday morning,
northbound traffic had been shifted to the center lane as crews milled
the existing asphalt in the closed lane and built a temporary ramp for
access to Carolina Street. CLICK HERE to read the full story.
Divided Council Passes Budget

Council passed the proposed 0.8 millage rate and budget for the coming
fiscal year. They also approved a new contract with Town Attorney Dawn
Lehnert and agreed to a November 7 workshop to hear new plans from
former developer Tom Torgerson. During Local Achievements and Recognitions, Council member Tracey
Gore thanked the Fort Myers Beach Kids Foundation for raising the funds
to purchase ChromeBooks for the students at Beach Elementary. CLICK HERE to read the full story.
