Beach chair war in Oyster Pond

February 06, 2015 10:00 AM
PHILIPSBURG – Judge Maria Paulides will rule on a dispute about the beach in Oyster Pond that has been dragging on for years.
 
The parties involved are Low Road to Heaven (Busby’s beach Bar), Laissez-Faire (The Great House) and Pearl Development (Oyster Bay Beach Resort).
 
The representative of Laissez Faire, Hedy Cockx, told the court that Busby’s Beach Bar has been renting out beach chairs on this beach for twenty years, with permission from Laissez Faire.
 
The land on which the beach bar and Laissez Faire’s Great House stand belong to Laissez Faire and it leases a part of it to Low Road to Heaven.
 
According to Cockx, Pearl Development obtained a permit to place 130 chairs on the beach. She noted that Low Road to Heaven is allowed to use the beach in front of the bar and in front of Laissez Faire’s small apartment complex. “The permit was given to Pearl in 2008; Laissez Faire does not have a permit and it has not requested one either,” she said.
 
A letter from the island territory of St. Maarten to the then attorney for Laissez Faire, Jairo Bloem (dated February 1, 2010) declared founded the objection against the decision to allow Pearl Development to place an additional 80 beach chairs and 40 parasols on the beach. This number of chairs would infringe on the space Busby’s Beach Bar has been using for years for its chairs.
 
The attorney for Pearl Development, Douwe Boersema, told the court that the minister of Vromi had sent his client a letter, stating that the decision of 2012 – to grant the permit – would remain in place.
