Palmetto Bay Resort Planned For Belize {Luxist}

May 10th 2008 10:06AM I would like to make a few comments about this new project of yours, first of all, since living in Placencia and Belize for over 20 years, no one owns a private beach, you own the beach after the 66 ft, high water mark that the Queen or the Goverment of Belize owns, so, you have a 66 foot right of way for foot traffic along our peninsula. Second, concern that I have is the size of the buildings and the height of them, 6 stories and how small the lots are that you are constructing this resort, it will or looks like it will be really crowded.. Thirdly, I hope that you do use the "green items" that you mention in your website, for I am sure there will be lots of people checking on you when it comes to these items, which, are a very nice and good idea, wish more projects would do this.
Most of the buildings on the beach are at 2 stories, due to the immensive blocking of sea breeze to the people that live on the lagoon side, and secondly, 6 stories are just flat ugly, this changes the whole concept of what we are, who we are and the cultural aspects of this 17 mile long peninsula that alot of us call "home".. I am not against development, but, how many of your guests or owners will even care about the critters of our peninsula or its year around locals and other foreigners??
