Subject: How You Can Help Support the Property Sale Process

Lahaina Owners,

We have received inquiries from several of you about how you can assist with the process of selling the property on Fort Myers Beach. Many properties remain vacant since Hurricane Ian, as developers are closely monitoring the situation to better understand what the Fort Myers Beach Town Council will permit in terms of new construction. The Town Council has initiated a public review process to justify any deviations from the current town plans, but this approach has created a sense of uncertainty and risk among potential buyers. The Town Council says you need to offer public benefit to get any variance. But they do not say what public benefit will get what variance.

As a community, we are faced with a challenge: many refuse to envision a future other than that of the old Fort Myers Beach, which was unfortunately wiped out by Hurricane Ian. For many homeowners, rebuilding or re-establishing a viable property is simply not feasible, leading to an increasing number of properties for sale.

We believe the best way to move forward is for the Town Council to provide clearer definitions and guidelines, particularly regarding the variance process, which would help reduce the uncertainty for buyers and property owners alike.

We encourage you to express your concerns by writing a respectful letter to the Town Council, emphasizing the need for clarification and a more defined approach to variances. You can find their contact details below.

Additionally, we encourage you to share our property listing from the LSI website. LSI continues to receive many inquiries on our property.

Your support is invaluable as we navigate this process.

Thank you for your involvement.

Sincerely, Lahaina Inn Resort
