Juan Grande I have watched your posts for months and it truly saddens me. You back the developer because you work for him.
Have you given any thought to how your suggestions will affect the people you share this island with? Some people cannot afford an increase in their taxes, they are scrimping and saving to buy fill for their lots in San Mateo. Remember this is the area that cannot be filled by town Board because said developer dredged everything and pumped it across the lagoon to Costa Del Sol. You want the town board to do more, but it seems that the developers need to be responsible for the havoc they wreak.
Are you are going to live here after all of the lots are sold? will you stay and and help the community fix the high school, pave the roads to San Pedrito, fix the East West Road or buy some more filters for BWS?
Another question if YOU are so community minded...do you volunteer for any NGO, sit on any school board, donate to any community organization.
I teach my kids to respect and be part of the community that they live in....I volunteer, I donate and I put my sweat and tears into this island...what do you do besides pocket money for land you sell.
On that note...you are selling land that was designated as a buffer zone for the WASA SEWAGE ponds....is this beneficail to anyone other than the person selling the lots? What will we do for our community when people living on those lots start getting sick? Actaully what do we do now that we have a catastrphic water shortage due to the developers work in this area.
In regards to the injunction...lets make a comparison...does a murder get of free because someone else told him to do it? Ignorance is not a defense. We all must follow the laws of Belize. The original letter given to the developer by the town board simply said that they supported the developer proceeding with the road. Logic would be that they simply meant that it was a project that need to be done and that they were telling the developer to proceed with the process within the laws of Belize. They never said that the developer did not need to follow the laws, get an EIA and approval form the local building authority. The injunction was for the developer because he was the one that interpreted that letter to mean he could break the laws?
