As a nearby resident who followed DEP procedures to repair our seawall, I can attest to the agency's attention to FL environmental and safety issues on our beach. Without DOT fair oversight of public lands, we'd have hundreds of goofy, unsafe structures littering our dunes. Walk past that structure, it is an eyesore and unbelievable that a property owner would attempt to build it!

]]> Comment on Residents claim city tree removal ‘blatant destruction’ by Robert Bodell http://www.islander.org/2012/02/residents-claim-city-tree-removal-blatant-destruction/#comment-1160 Robert Bodell Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:59:44 +0000 http://www.islander.org/?p=9142#comment-1160 Believe me when I say these trees are not gone forever. they will return. When I was a kid in Bradenton Beach, we had to cut down three of them on our property because they were over 100 feet tall and due to their inherit danger of falling over in storms because they have no tap root and what roots they do have are all at surface level, they were extremely dangerous. The roots actually extended under our house and out the other side. Within a few months new trees were pushing up to start the process over again. It must have taken over 20 years of cutting shoots off at ground level until the roots finally died and stopped sending new shoots. I think replacing them with local plants is a much better option. Almost anything will give more shade than the pines. Believe me when I say these trees are not gone forever. they will return.
