Thanks Brad for setting me (us) straight regarding the proposed improvements at BMB Regional Access. I had heard there were plans for restrooms but wasn't sure of the final status.
Can you shed any light on my original question regarding Redfish Village and their proposed use for their acquired residential lot(s) on Blue Mountain Road?
I assume that whatever Redfish does will be kept private and not fall under TDC's jurisdiction. However, what is TDC's official posture when it comes to what I perceive Redfish desires to do with the lot(s)?
The county has accepted private funds from them for public use. I have no problem with that part of the equation. I just don't "payback" to come at the expense of private home owners in our area.
Respectfully,

I can't speak for the TDC; however, I will try to answer a couple of things. One it was made EXTREMELY, VERY, CRYSTAL clear that participating in the access would not have any bearing on existing or new plans that the development has. There is no quid pro quo. Actually, this has happened three times in the past 5-6 years when private individuals/organizations financially participated in making County accesses better. Not often though
The TDC, a County agency
, already maintains four accesses from CR83 east to the end of Blue Mtn Rd so NO we would not have any desire to develop any other accesses in that area. There are more areas that are much more needy for access and with the money we have spent on recovering from hurricanes, we already have a backlog of projects. Start commercial, "The TDC is funded completely with Tourist Development Taxes paid by visitors to our area and not by other County tax revenue streams. We export the cost of beach management to the visitor. This means no visitors, no money, no accesses", end commercial.
Finally, no I am not involved, nor aware more than the rest of you, on what is happening with those lots. I can tell you that the Planning department reviews all developments for compatibility and proper zoning and makes their reccomendations to the BCC so they would have the best information if you are interested. Sorry not more help, just wanted to chime in as asked. Thanks BMBV!
