I’m here at council, but sitting outside the chambers as they prepare for an executive session, one of the exceptions to the Sunshine Laws. Three different lawsuits are under discussion:
•The Inn at Crystal Beach wants an old legal settlement amended to reflect that Beach Walk Cafe is larger than the settlement says (500 square feet, I think). The city has been arguing for several years that the Inn doesn’t have enough parking spaces for the size of the restaurant, the Inn disagrees. Tonight, they’ll make the same argument over.
•Tamtech owner James Dular has a lawsuit of several years standing against the city. To my shame, I must admit I don’t have the details off the top of my head, but I’ll spell it out in Saturday’s paper.
•Frogs to Dogs Veterinary Clinic went to court during the city’s Legion Drive/Main Street widening project because of the city’s insistence it needed a right of way easement over part of the clinic property. They reached an compromise on the property taken, settled on the price, but they still have lawyers’ fees, engineers’ fees, appraisers’ fees to resolve.
