Pine Island Land Use Plan Approved!

Pine Island residents now have their own set of development regulations to limit housing growth on the island.Lee County commissioners voted 4-0, Tuesday to adopt the Greater Pine Island Planning Community development standards.The major point of the standards is the limit of one house on 2.7 acres with 70 percent of the land preserved as a natural habitat. The rules apply to Matlacha and Pine Island.
In a 100-acre tract, 70 acres ideally would be covered with native vegetation and trees. On the other 30 acres, 37 houses could be clustered in a neighborhood.

cool artist

Tammy Kay is a very interesting Scrap Artist her style varies on each layout or as the mood hits her. I really admire her ability to do this so well and met challenges. As a result she has become a design team member for a major artist with a major line and also several others. I have always been alittle intimadated about signing up in contest to become deign team member. Tammy kay a salute to you and kiddoossss :) You go Girl

Real Estate on the island.

Lets talk about Pine Island Real Estate for a minute....I work at ReMax Realty Group II on Pine Island. Our market out here is very seasonal here and the winter is our main "busytime". But we are still getting some walk in clients that are from somewhere in Florida or some out of towners visting.

Blah rainy Monday

Today is a serious blah day....rain although veru much needed here in "Brushfire alley" is making it a very yucky day.
Mother's Day was good. We had a great church service they called Mom Fest...very nice. Then my kids and hubby took me to the LSS to buy some new scrap stuff and I got to see the new Martha Stewart line and pick up a few things. Over all I was pretty disappointed in Michaels selection and after reading so much online I thought there would be tons of things. Anywho what they had was neat but more so for card making I felt.
ttfn

Yeah Friday

Thank heavens for Fridays......Yeah :)

My version of Art

My version of Art is ScrapArt, jewerly making, and a occasional sewing project. I really enjoy the quite, alone time I get when scrapbooking. I love story telling and scrapbooking with jouranaling is my version. Here are a couple new layouts Ive done lately. my scanner is giving me crap so the scans arent great.
