The gentleman in the article is the developer of the twin towers at Mullet. (Project 14). The boardwalk doesn't sound like a hateful idea, it would be unobtrusive of the actual east end of Mullet beach and add a flavor of the beach that existed pre-Luis (liked the picture of the old boardwalk). The beach bar is a little more concerning, but if built on the western end, near the Cliffs, it might have potential.
