It is the morning of Aug 20th and Fay is on the East Coast now. We only had twenty minutes of rain yesterday. Right now the sun is out and it is windy. The storm is expected to come west again, but so far everything is fine.

Update on Legg Mason's Proposed Cabana Club Hotel
This message was posted on the bulletin board:
Click here for the online petition
Time is running out! Your emails to the city make a difference, and they must be received by Thursday, August 14th to assure that they are delivered to the decision makers on Legg Mason's application to build the 10 story high hotel at the Cabana Club Restaurant site. To provide you some ideas for your message, here are the key issues:
1. The size of the proposed building is too big for the lot because they only have 88 feet to build on and the code requires a 200 foot wide lot.
2. The height of the proposed building is too tall. The code limits them to 25 feet and building something 100 feet or 10 stories high will hurt surrounding property values.
3. There is not enough parking now. Adding a 38 room hotel but only 8 parking spaces makes the problem worse.
4. Taking 25 feet of public beach restored with taxpayers dollars should be stopped.
5. Operating a ferry boat for guests from over 450 hotel rooms on a canal where all of the properties are residential.
Send your email to the Mayor, the City Council and Sherry Watkins( who will forward them to the members of the CDB)
