The Soap Box

The agenda of the Dock meeting to be held at 9am Thurs at the Town Hall annex, is all about the methods we can use to prohibit, stop, discourage, make difficult and more expensive, residents from building docks. Ostensibily, this is about the moratorium on the docks in the bay, but the applicability will be transferable to any docks, any soundfront, any creekfront. Through the use of zoning, and overlays, we can find our waterfront homes changed into having little more than scenic easements over the water as in California.
There is no discussion as to why, no statement of the need, that is already a done deal. I plan to attend the morning session and advise those who are paranoid like me to do so as well. I have a SV board meeting at 7pm so I won’t be able to attend the evening roundtable, which is probably going to be a chance for the public to voice concerns. We need folks there too who can listen and learn if we are going to be unwilling participants in a public taking of our riparian rights to USE the navitable waterfront we own.
