Owners Argue "Leave No Trace"

New posts
Here's my next to last sentence:
What we have now are a bunch of whiners saying, like little kids, "you can't make me, it's mine."

Umm, I think you just proved my point. :roll:

:wave:
Nice. [ edit....forgot my :biggrin: to balance out your :wave:; forgot my SoWal etiquette AND one more thing: I sincerely asked you 3 questions and this is all I get? :cry: ]

BUT who knows what could happen when an armed agent of the government comes to your home to arrest you for simply having your own umbrella on your own property for 3 nights.

Do you think the issue of a single private family home, lets say one at Blue Mountain Beach, who leaves a single umbrella out overnight on 3 separate occasions should allow the government to arrest that private property owner using "authorized" deadly force if necessary?

That's what we're talking about if some of the short sighted people at the county gets their way.

So what exactly did I exaggerate?

Exaggerating.

First you would have to get one citation and pay a fine, then you would have to get a second citation and pay a larger fine, then you would have to get a third citation and pay an even bigger fine - and MAYBE you could get yourself sentenced to up to 60 days in jail. Your example of an umbrella for 3 occasions will likely just cause you to "abandon" ownership of 3 umbrellas.

I think you just stated my case when you said "and MAYBE you could get yourself sentenced to up to 60 days in jail".

The point, again, that is intentionally ignored here is that one could go to jail for leaving their umbrella(s) out 3 times.

There are no shades of gray with that interpretation.

By the way, this is one hell of a "signal" for TDC to be sending out to increase tourism IMO.

No, you couldn't.
 
you could also apply for a permit to leave your crap on the beach.
That could get stinky! :biggrin:

I'm aware of this permit stuff but it currently isn't required for private property owners or did I miss something?

Regarding the current authority that the county does have over public beach, do you think the county has same authority over privately owned beach that has a public easement recorded with it (such as Redfish Village)?

SJ, I don't why you're dodging the question. I don't have a clue or an opinion (imagine that).
 
SJ, How about a REAL question?...........

Redfish Village owns an 80 foot lot as you know. Also as you know, the public has access rights to the sandy part of the lot via a public easement (that's how they got the whole mess passed by the way). Does this mean that the county has the authority to tell them what to do regarding "Remove It or Lose It"?
Yes
