quote:I had asked Greggor about the possibility of using the parcel at C & L Rd as a parking area for walkers and providing ocean access for fishermen. It's a very small parcel so wouldn't be suitable for a park per se. Clear the brush, level the lot and bring in gravel at minimum. Securing the entrance w/a chain at night.

the county land near the corner of C and L Rd and the response was it won't be considered for a park. That the residents in that area don't want the county do improve it.
Even more confused: County land already exists for a park, and some residents don't want it? Why would those residents get their way when others don't, especially considering that ownership/landuse/zoning issues basically don't exist for a parcel that's already County-owned?
Seems like County could make a park on this piece of land without permission or cooperation from HPP. Why not just do that instead? (Unless the point is to engage HPP in "discussion" rather than actually "building a park"...)
HPP residents like walking on L Rd for exercise and parking their cars can be a problem. There's little ocean access left for fisherman as well. I asked him about this 2 yrs ago or so and his reply was that it was bad timing to ask the county for anything.
That the last time they dealt w/HPP over the park issue left them w/bad feelings. He advised waiting awhile before approaching the county about this idea.
Later Greggor told me he had walked the surrounding neighborhood surveying the residents about that small county owned parcel on the ocean. The residents are concerned that developing that parcel in any way would bring in unwanted riff raff and crime.
