Explain.......on second thought don't....

This is the project that originally got an exemption to the 3 story code and set a precedent allowing other buildings to get taller and larger. Of course, it cost money to get it.
When they illegally began to dredge for the marina, it caused such scouring to the public beach across the river that we almost lost the beach.
I have wondered what the money connection was to the school as I have had concerns for the kids for a while ( especially public health concerns) and I have always known that there was some financial scam happening. So here it is.
It is very sad

Pam please share what you mean as I am A little confused ???

me too, but i probably don't really want to know.

did this have anything to do with the beach reclamation project needed at boca del rio park?

Yes, please explain.....if you can..

Pam, is this resort being built on land belonging to Vern & Francis?

Not Pam.....but yes.

This is a project that was developed some years ago and considered because of a promise to build a school that would function as a hurricane shelter and to bring sewer and water to San Mateo. There were other promises as well. The school and all services were to be paid for by the developers, the Wilson"s et al. The school was then built in what I consider a substandard manner by donations. There was a lot of controversy with defenders denying any financial considerations for the Wilsons. In the meantime, they were also requesting additional town land to develop on to the tune of 36 acres to be dredged and filled. Supposedly to build a college. It appears that this whole time, they have been quietly working the legal system putting themselves forward as philanthropists and , apparently, it worked even though the marina is, in my humble opinion, going to cause destruction to town beaches and the development itself will cause continued harm to wetlands.
So now we have a contaminated lagoon from a septic system under water during wet season and no running water for 500 children to wash, a school that has allowed the town to shirk its responsibility to provide standardize education for the kids, a continued disaster in San Mateo, and a successful court case to make tons of money for the developers.

The proposed project will not block any view for the reef village units! :-)
