Doc Ford’s May Be Moving To A New Location On Sanibel.
Sanibel, Doc Ford’s New Location?
Doc Ford’s (Sanibel) Rum Bar & Grille is in the process of seeking approval for a move from the present Rabbit Road location to a new location to be built on a site at Tarpon Bay Road at Periwinkle Way, across from Bailey’s.
“A proposed shift in locations for an island restaurant is already drawing loud complaints from those living near the new site.
One islander, in fact, will take his protests viral. Charles Sobczak this week will use social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn to picket the proposed move of Doc Ford’s (Sanibel) Rum Bar & Grille from Rabbit Road to a proposed site on Tarpon Bay Road at Periwinkle Way.
The 2.5-acre parcel is across from the Bailey’s Center shopping complex. The restaurant owners seek a conditional use permit to build at the vacant lot. Plans for the new restaurant are under study with city planners. If the plans meet city guidelines, a vote on the conditional use permit by the city’s Planning Commission could come by the end of the year, city officials said. Public input is part of the approval process.”
