As a result of Smith's, Ritter's and others'
concerns about the stipulations in the Siesta Key Overlay District — the county zoning
code that governs businesses on Siesta Key
— a group of Siesta Village business owners
has begun an initiative they hope will lead to
changes in that code and result in improved
marketing options.

Along with Smith and Ritter's complaints,
Jeff Madden, owner of Beach Bites at 217
Avenida Madera — and an SKVA board member — took the opportunity during the SKVA
meeting to criticize a county regulation that
prevents businesses from soliciting at Siesta
Public Beach.
Siesta Village Outfitters is at 5200 Ocean Blvd., close to The Broken Egg.
