Use of Commercial Areas & Property Rights

Has anyone looked at the website advertising the Bamboo Beach Tiki Bar?

Holy cats! I am not against free enterprise until you cross the line with health, safety and welfare concerns of the occupants and property owners. The tiki bar itself it very attractive and a plus for the hotel. However, things have gotten out of hand with the constant disruptive "events". A nice profit can still be obtained and add class to Ocean Manor if properly run. Rather than attracting a bunch of rowdy kids, the tiki bar could easily attract clientele that would bring an ambience back to the hotel. These are the people who have the money to spend.

Unit owners appear to have no rights to the common areas and some feel threatened by their own testimony. From my last tally, the individual property owners are the majority and not the minority. What can we do to turn the tides on this one?

It is unfortunate it has come down to lawsuits. Whatever happened to human decency?? I also noticed an advertisement for "Ocean Manor Eleven" (11th floor) with claims that it can accommodate 400 people for a private affair. I can not imagine how this was possibly permitted (or was it??) by the City of Ft. Lauderdale for the lack of parking alone - never mind the ingress/egress situation to the 11th floor and safety concerns.

One can't help but wonder where all the money the association borrowed went in light of the lien placed by Bronze. I am requesting that records be made public by the Association to all unit owners immediately.

    In that succinct post I believe you have portrayed very reasonable concerns to all homeowners, to which we must decide on to what degree we should act upon. Nothing like double assessments to help decide. Time will tell

  2. YES HOW DID THAT HAPPEN, THE 11TH FLOOR? I AGREE WE NEED TO SEE RECORDS IMMEDIATELY.

  3. Frank opens up the hotel to spring breakers and overloads the rooms to the hilt. The fire marshall should know how many people he puts in one room, blocks the fire lane with all these cars for his patrons, tiki bar and whatever else he has going on. Now the spring breakers have broke the elevator every year, who pays for this we do, bs on that. I would like to have a business that I don't have to pay no salary to any one because it seems like they have a open check book with our money. We are the owners of the building not the board.
