Letter to Honorable Patrick Doyle, Commissioner, Precinct 1.
(Feb-11-2012) Commissioner Doyle: The MAIN cause of Thursday’s horrible accident that killed the 3 year old boy was that the County’s Dunes are too close to the water. FEMA and the County got most of the front row lots after ‘Ike’, the put the dunes back where they were before the hurricane when beach was lost. Now, with high tides and southeast winds the Gulf is at the bottom of the dunes, which is a normal condition. All the dunes need to be moved BACK 75′ so the road where the family was walking isn’t next to the dunes. After ‘Ike’ the County put the blue trash cans in the middle(or closer to the beach) of the washed out beach, then proceeded to build the dunes 50′ from the water at low tide! Please move the dunes back so we continue to have a useable, not dangerous, beach. Thank You and feel free to contact me on this matter.
