Just received official word that marina shores is withdrawing their current plans and will not be heard at the wetlands hearing on january 18th.

They are planning to revise and resubmit later.

The city of virginia beach should keep the 1987 promise to the
community and leave this area alone. It's a recorded restriction.

If you're out and about-- the stakes in the water appear to
be for the floating golf cart dock. Then there's the finger piers
to add into the channel for the 50' boat slips.
