Martin County
Closed???
We Think Not!
Overnight signs have appeared saying Martin County is closed to new
residents. The signs say they are from the SAVE JENSEN BEACH GROUP.
The Jensen Beach Group and residents of Jensen Beach who oppose
Pitchford's Landing had nothing to do with the signs. The signs were
most likely prepared by our opposition or his representatives or
supporters, who are the only people we know of who do not know the
proper name of the Jensen Beach Group but continually refer to it as the
Save Jensen Beach Group.
Unlike the Save Jensen Beach signs which are proudly displayed in front
yards all over town, these offensive signs were planted in the middle of
the night on abandoned or public property by someone who has no
respect for the citizens of Jensen Beach or Martin County. Someone like
a developer from New Jersey?
It is clear that someone is trying to make it appear that the Jensen
Beach Group is behind these signs, which mimic the JBG signs in
appearance. However, like a forger who misspells the name of the person
whose signature is being forged, these signs do not have the correct
name of the group they are trying to malign. Since the signs are
illegally placed they, in time, will be removed, most likely at tax
payers expense.
If anyone has
any information on the placement of the signs please call (772) 419-8346
and leave a message.
Jensen Beach Group Files for Punitive Damages

Seawall Permit Denied!!
The Jensen Beach
Group has successfully challenged The Pitchford's Landing seawall
permit. After months of work and many thousand of dollars in
expenses the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has ruled in
favor of our challenge. It
is important to remember that while we plan to spend billions to restore
the lagoon we should not let things happen that will harm it.
"It is therefore ORDERED:
A. All of the Administrative Law Judge's finding of fact and conclusions
of law not expressly modified or rejected herein are adopted and
incorporated by reference.
B. Reily's application for Environmental Resource Permit and Sovereignty
Submerged Lands Authorization No. 43-0197751-003 is hereby DENIED,
without prejudice to Reily's right to submit a new application for
permit/authorization which complies with all applicable statutory and
rule requirements."
The basis for the order appears to be the
same as that asserted by the ALJ -- that is, that wetlands have not been
properly delineated on the property and may be illegally impacted by the
backfill.
Bottom line, folks: Reily's permit is DENIED.
