I always wanted a lake scene, so I moved my family here some years ago and we had a pristine lake until 2015. At that time, weeds started to accumulate on our lake and my view disappeared, boating became impossible, and our quality of life deteri- orated. Commissioners were informed but ignored our complaints — and still do today. I had not heard of the weed harvesting machine referred to in last week’s letter. I also did not know as an unincorporated resident I am paying a tax that is not paid by city folks, but sure enough, it is on my R.E. tax bill. Since a tax has contributed more than $100 million to- ward improving surface water quality in our unincorporated areas, why have commissioners turned a deaf ear toward purchasing an $80,000 harvesting machine that can clear the weeds from our lakes? Everything we read on the subject tells us spraying weeds with chemicals is harmful to marine life and human lives. I also read where a commissioner said the chemical is too expensive to spray the weeds — even more reason for them to purchase a harvesting machine. Question for commissioners: If we, as unincorporated residents, have paid more than $100 million for improvement of surface water quality, why is my lake still covered with weeds?

Short-term rental change a bad move The Belleair Beach 90-day rental term proposal for condos is a mis- take. Both the city attorney and the city manager have indicated the danger of implementing such an ordinance at the risk of losing the state grandfathering of current limitations. Even a glance at nearby Indian Rocks Beach that blundered down this proposed path should be suffi cient as the mayor has observed. Worse is that it is not a fi x for any perceived problem that may or may not exist. You can’t expect a bandage on your toe will fi x a broken arm. The complaint is that the beach is “full of vacationers and they are all staying at the condos.” Poppycock. If the beach is crowded, it is lim- ited to the public access areas. Walk the entire beach someday. Those staying in the condos are enjoying the seclusion of the beach in front of their residence. They are not walking or driving to the public access points. Homeowners are, though, because that is the choice they made when they purchased their dwelling. Look at the cars in the parking lots. It is visitors who are not residents on the beach and they come from all of the eastern areas of the region. If you perceive a crowd, it is near the public access points and not the entire condo area. Likewise the statement that the condos are the source of police “problems.” Although I do not have access to the police reports, I chal- lenge the city Planning and Zoning Board to look at the actual address- es and not the entire strip of condos as one area. I suspect they will discover that, again, the problems are centered on the public access points and not the condo strip overall. In the eight years I have owned a condo on the beach, the Association has had one police call. It wasn’t a resident, a tenant or a guest. It was a drunken trespasser from outside the city who thought he was entitled to use any access he chose instead of the public access area. The City Council could better serve the community if it spent time Mom on the hunt for a unicorn addressing the issues surrounding the proposed water plant, the pro- posed storm sewer system, or the Army Corps of Engineers threat to suspend the scheduled beach nourishment program.

Gasparilla events rescheduled TAMPA — Out of an abundance of caution and after consulting with health care providers, Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla and EventFest recently announced that they have postponed Tampa’s signature Gasparilla parades to dates later in the spring. The decision resulted from an ongoing dialogue between event organizers, city leaders, and health care experts. Tampa Bay will now welcome Children’s Gasparilla Presented by Chick- fi l-A Tampa Bay on Saturday, April 10, 2021, and the Seminole Hard Rock Gasparilla Pirate Fest on Saturday, April 17, 2021. The closing event, Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla’s Outbound Voyage, will set sail on Friday, May 14, 2021.
