The St. Augustine Planning & Zoning Board voted to table an application from the Whetstone family for a 270-foot dock into the Matanzas River.

The proposed structure would attach to the east side of the Bayfront Motel, which they own, just to the south of the Santa Maria Restaurant.

City officials have said the city owns the seawall and river bottom there, and that the Whetstones own no contiguous upland property where a dock could be attached.

However, the family claims that they do own property to the east of their motel.

Their application has been tabled until the P&ZB’s February meeting.

Go to the county offices and look at the plat maps and written description. Either she owns the land or she does not.

walk, seawall and the bay itself !!! so in effect they are claiming they own the sidewalks and street,seawall, and bay bottom ??? i'm certain the city will have an opinion re: that !!! as for attaching it to her motel,, the only way that might be accomplished would involve building an overhead walkway, over the street,, and would present an eyesore to one and all,, not to mention other bayfront owners views blocked by such a monstosity !!! virginia should stick to what she knows,, which is ??? making candy ...>>>yathink
