COLLIER COUNTY:
Just two days after Collier County Commissioners voted to file a lawsuit
against Moraya Bay for privatizing a piece of Vanderbilt Beach, the cones
are gone.
Representatives
with Moraya Bay say they want the beach war to be over.
The cones that sectioned
off a piece of the beach right in front of Moraya Bay were
removed.
Representatives say they
are preparing a statement about the beach battle which has
not only angered commissioners, but outraged beach
visitors.
Commissioners feared
allowing one condo to mark off a piece of the beach,
others would follow. |

One person was so outraged, he can be seen
on surveillance video early Tuesday morning vandalizing Moraya Bay's beach
chairs and umbrellas with spray paint.
Moraya Bay says
they were abiding by state law which says a property owner
owns the land down to the erosion control line. They
wanted a small section for its residents only.
The official statement from
Moraya Bay is expected this afternoon. |
