Would you like a copy of the plat to take with you next time?

My first experience with public/private beach issue

Now that would be interesting. When the deputy arrives pull out your official plat and survey and ask him if the complaintant has theirs. I imagine that would result in nothing happening.

Might even get the supposed owner in trouble for marking property which isn't his, with private property/no trespassing signs.

It is a crime to file a false complaint. Ask the deputy to take your sworn statement while he is there and the State Attorney can get the guy later.

I am so non-confrontational about stuff like that. I don't think I'd have the guts to even get into it with the guy. From what I can tell from watching him & then what the LG said today, he's looking to get into it with someone.

Plat Book 2, Page 44. The Public Access at Fort Panic is adjacent and to the west of Lot 7, Block 1, Dune Allen S/D, shown on plat. This plat shows that the lots 1-7 have definitive points stopping short of the MHWM.Do you have it?
This is a totally different issue than the public having rights to be on the beaches.

I wouldn't waste my time with the guy, but have that plat with you when/if the Sheriff's Deputy arrives. Your only conversation should be with that officer, not the man with the signs.
You might also print up my signature line from the Florida State Supreme Court.

Honestly, I rarely go over there. A personal battle of wills with him is a waste of my time. I just think it's sad that our beaches are coming to this. My point in posting the incident in the first place is not to even pick him out of the crowd, so to speak, but rather deal with the larger issue at hand of this happening all over the place right now in SoWal.
I just got off the phone with a good friend that lives on the other side of Panama City. She's 68 & lived in PC for at least 30-35 years, so she's seen a lot. I told her about the issues going on, but also the grayt things about why we live here. She said that she's seen a lot over the years in PC & PCB & it's gone to hail. Do we want that here with the growth expected to happen in the coming years?
Again, I am simply stating that we are at a turning point for our stretch of beach and community. We can either choose to monitor & maintain things a lot better than we have been doing in a sustainable manner or just let whatever the heck happen & then in 5-7 years, we won't recognize the place anymore.
