LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PUBLIC HEARING ON SIESTA RIGHT OF WAY NEEDS TO BE REOPENED
To the editor:
The slacker landlocked lot owners in a Siesta
Key subdivision just gave away their access to
a public canal by not showing up for a public
hearing and telling the County Commission
where to get off (Trumping the 'comp plan,'
May 31).
How much is water access worth in regard to
the value of their land? Where was the vaunted Siesta Key Association during this hearing?
The three commissioners (Charles Hines, Joe
Barbetta, Carolyn Mason) who approved this
need to be raked over the coals for giving up
public right of way for nothing.
So much for the comp plan. This hearing
needs be reopened.
