The unhappy owners say they expected a small, manmade, recreational beach, and were shocked to find no such development is approved. In fact, a beach couldn't be built at the described area anyway. It's a critical buffer area, and environmentally sensitive zone protected by state law. If you tried to truck sand there and develop a beach, you could go to jail. Fairwinds developer Tom Carski says he has never hidden this fact.
Sales contracts make no promises on the subject of beach development.
Other homeowners say they were well aware from the beginning. Deppner said a recreational beach this close to boat piers would be dangerous, and the fact was even discussed on a tour with a sales agent. All rights reserved.
