AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Ambergris Caye development at Caribbean Villas

Well done, Gwen, you have blanket accused every neighbor and developer on Ambergris Caye of being somehow nefarious. You did it in the second to last sentence of your rant. You, on the other hand, are perfect.

GwenA has bashed both of her neighbors - calling out your other neighbors as being 'nasty as Hell' is very telling about you Gwen. That is not how to make friends and influence people on a small Caribbean island. Wow. I'm not a developer in SP BTW. I'm a Realtor in Texas. Since Gwen is handing out unsolicited advice to potential buyers of SP real estate, I might add that the best due diligence one might perform before purchasing is to be sure GwenA is not a proximate neighbor... sounds like that would be a living Hell of a situation. Here's hoping she learns to live in harmony with others some day.

Sadly here you do take the risk of what your neighbours will build. You could luck out or you get a commercial eyesore of any number of businesses that could be annoying.

I know a guy who threatens to put in a pig farm next to anyone who annoys him! LOL

No matter which side of this mud slinging one is on, one must admit that the lack of a master plan allows this kind of strife! There was a master plan proposed many years ago and short sighted (selfish?) politicians will not process it. Maybe when all of their vacant property is sold they will do something. Maybe not. Change is debatable depends on which way the wind is blowing (money flowing?)

So, in the absence of any zoning laws anything goes! The way the height limit was changed was when Oasis built an addition on the back which exceeded the 3 story law. Instead of making them comply the rule was simply changed to 4 stories. Go figure?

The building in front of us is suppose to be a single story, that is what it said in the planning. In fact it has turned out to be 3 story high. BTW the property is only a foot or two from the boundary on three sides which is suppose to be five feet. The front is suppose to be 10 feet, but in fact it on the line and the steps going into the property are in the road. GO FIGURE THAT ONE.

The only reason for LAWS here are so people can pay to go round them.

Arguing with two realtors now I understand lol

So has the development of CV taken over the whole area of littoral forest, where the People Perch was? or is there still an area left for the birds to thrive?

We visited again this last Sunday....With a little less wine in my tummy I took a good look around.....It appears there are some buildings started close to the beach as well as where the old parking was....However, unless they are hiding other buildings in the mangrove it looks as if the bird area is the same....Hope that helps.....

oh, that's good news! thank you

The people perch has been gone for years. And there is still a lot of greenery/jungle.
