Margaritaville – FMB
Update: On July 9, 2020 Chris Patton
filed her third lawsuit against the Town of Fort Myers Beach seeking to
stop the Margaritaville – FMB Resort. This one challenges the
constitutionality of the use of “exceptional circumstances” in the
town’s code [Section 34-1803(a)(2)]. “Denied.” That’s the entire decision from the Florida Second District Court of
Appeals in the case of Chris Patton vs. Town of Fort Myers Beach and
TPI-FMB, issued July 8, 2020. No opinion, no equivocation, just
“Denied.” The decision indicated that all three appeals court judges –
Northcutt, Kelly and Atkinson agreed with the decision. Tom Torgerson, representing TPI Hospitality, was “pretty darn
excited” about the decision on Wednesday morning and immediately wanted
to thank the Fort Myers Beach community for its ongoing support over the
almost two-year-long “ridiculous legal challenge.”
Projects to Watch on FMB
South End Boardwalk
The owners of Texas Hold ‘Em LLC and Squeeze Me Inn LLC properties at
8150 & 8170 Estero Boulevard have sought permission to construct a
dune walkover boardwalk adjacent to the Little Estero Island Critical
Wildlife Area (CWA) from their properties to the beach for the past four
years. As the process moved along, the owners received a Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) permit in 2016; a 2017 Florida Fish &
Wildlife Conservation Commission permit; and in 2018 a DEP construction
permit. In October 2019, the Town’s LPA approved the structure with
conditions by a unanimous vote, though Town staff recommended against
it, leaving only Council permission needed. Fort Myers Beach has several significant projects currently on the
drawing board, under construction, or in litigation that – prior to the
COVID-19 economic downturn – The Island Sand Paper planned to see
through to their conclusions and share with readers. Now in our final
issue, here is a brief recap of what’s happening with eight major
projects and what their immediate future may hold. Full article and resource
