It may be a money maker but it is mostly a life saver and those who speed thru or run the red lightRead More break the law and endanger the rest of us. The same thing would happen if there was a police officer sitting in a car on the side of the road.. You are correct the people should "rise up" against the speeders, the drunks and Dui's as well a red light runners etc who but all of us at risk.
The tree house has captured the romanticism of beach-side living but it violates codes for protecting sand dunes and nesting sea turtles.

You answered your own question: "The dwelling is on the shoreline, where home construction isRead More not permitted." Once the camel's nose is under the tent.....who know what someone will petition for next. It is an unequivocal NO!

They are grandfathered in, so the question was certainly answered in the article. "AlthoughRead More the couple had verbal approval from the city to build the tree house in 2011, officials did not realize the size and scope of the structure the couple planned." Just because the officials did not realize the size and scope, they gave their approval. Done. Make it official, and then enact something that reaches an agreement during the season which turtles nest. Other beaches allow public access during this time, yet they just protect the nests with fencing. I vote YES! Not because I care so much about the tree house, but the agreement was met, and it should be honored.

Mark K. Based on your theory maybe the owners withheld the "size and scope of theRead More structure" and they did not act in good faith but took advantage of what they perceived as a loop hole or misunderstanding in the agreement on the part of one of the parties so in my mind the agreement was NOT met and it should not be honored.

Another reason to avoid Wal-Mart.

11:30 AM? In broad daylight. Why don't they walk elderly people to their cars?
