Dear Honorable Mayor and Town Commissioners of Dewey Beach,
We, the members of the Pier Point Family Partnership wish to commend all of you on the stand that that you have taken to this point, against the numerous lawsuits that have been filed against the Town and some of you individually by Harvey Hanna and Dewey Beach Enterprises.
We also hope, that during your executive sessions and during the negotiations that you are engaging in with DBE, that the maximum height limit for the Town of Dewey Beach is not compromised in the interest of settling the pending lawsuits. While the Court has ruled against the Town on the density issue it is our understanding that the height issue has not been decided and we believe this matter should continue through the Courts until a decision is rendered. It is our belief that should you compromise the 35 foot height limit for DBE you will send a message to others who desire a greater height limit, in any other area, that this can be accomplished through the filing of multiple lawsuits against the Town and the Town Leaders. Any height compromise for RBE would probably place us in a position to renew our argument from a couple years ago that all properties in RB-1 be treated equally.
We ask all of you to honor your campaign promises, to continue upholding the will of the people, where the majority have repeatedly expressed their desire to maintain the Dewey Beach height limit at 35 feet.
Respectfully,
Charles H McKinney Sr
Georgia McKinney
