Watch Hill, We Have A Problem

[MakoMike]

Something doesn't seem right about this. They're taking building materials from public land, blocking access to public land, maybe even building on public land and they don't need any permits?

I heard just today on the radio that Taylor Swift is on the list of most generous charity contributors among celebrities, actually coming in at #1 for 2013...... Maybe a letter from a surfcasting/protect shore access group is in order. I'd bet she doesn't have a clue about the issues from the other side of her property lines.

Also sounds as if WH missed out on permit fees. CRMC is the big one that has jurisdiction, but no reason the town couldn't require their own permitting once the CRMC was in place. Up here, we would also have to have the Army Corps of Engineers to sign off as well.

Check out this exercise in futility from Nantucket. There's probably a billion bucks worth of real estate and structures thereupon, waiting to fall into the sea, despite whatever they're doing down below. Because, well, nor'easters and hurricanes are never accompanied by torrential rains that cause erosion from above.

Projo did a story about the reconstruction in today's paper. CRMC says everything is legit. They (CRMC) mention the existing seawall as being public. Does anyone know who originally built that seawall? More importantly were any federal funds used to build that seawall? If so I think that the public will retain access to the wall.

I saw several houses slide down the bluff during my 20+ years in Montauk.

We have several ready slide down the cliffs in south Plymouth. From the beach, you can look up and see floor joists. The decks and footings have long ago made the journey down the cliff and have been washed away.

I'm told that if you don't tear them down when they've been condemned, you own the clean up costs to remove it if it falls down the cliff.
