Description

Captivated by the spectacular natural beauty of northern Californias

Mendocino coast, the author and his wife, Margie, residents of Virginia,

purchase a magnificent eleven-acre promontory high above the Pacific Ocean

near the remote village of Elk. On retiring years later, they decide to

build their dream home there. Seeking no more than whats sanctioned by

law, they nevertheless encounter fierce opposition from County and State

Parks officials, a hostile faction of Elk citizens, and the local media.

In a six-year battle that ignites civil war in the little village, Margie

and TG fight back. Well into the conflict they discover the hidden and

improper motivation behind much of the opposition. That paves the way for

a settlement with the County. But opponents promptly appeal the case to

the California Coastal Commission, and there the final showdown takes

place. Seaside Dream Home Besieged makes a clear and compelling case for

land-use reforms designed to achieve a more-just and more-harmonious

relationship between scenic preservation and property rights. Included are

extensive contending quotes from both sides of the conflict, providing

insight into the legal and ethical points at issue, as well as into local

coastal culture and obstructive human behavior. With its mystery,

sleuthing, assorted (non-lethal) casualties, and colorful real-life

scoundrels, Seaside Dream Home Besieged provides suspenseful and

entertaining reading. Moreover, its an indispensable guidebook for those

who dare to enter the land-use minefields in pursuit of a building permit.
