Okay, so I've read this article twice and I'm not sure I'm getting it at all. This business license owner wants to set up a business for which he has a legal permit to do ON THE BEACH at Mullet? I thought, as in the case of Karachter on Simpson Bay Beach, absolutely NOTHING in the line of a permanent structure could be constructed on the actual beach which belongs to ALL the people of St. Maarten. What part am I NOT seeing here?
If the licensee was building on Mullet Bay Resort property I could easily understand the property owner being upset and removing it.
From a visitors stand point, I hate to see anything erected on these beaches and as much as I love the BBQ ribs at Rosie's, I also get why their stand is so 'thrown together' in appearance since they supposedly couldn't build anyting permanent on the beach. Heck, I can't even stand seeing so much of my favorite beach being usurped by the sardine-like set up of chairs and umbrellas.
Is the licensee holding a permit to build on the beach? If so, I'd get it but then, I'd love to know how he obtained such a permit given the potential for both precedent setting actions againt the people of the island, along with potential environmental damage to the beaches.
I hate to see one more island beach destroyed! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
