------I tried to lease it -------- on There's a law that says, we can't have any
inhabitants ------ top of our air strip, which the main reserve strip comes right off
of the end here. -------- Cause I wanted to make like a little park out of it, camping
areas and stuff------- Twenty years ago, there said there was no way you could
ever, we could never lease that property to anyone, because of the air strip, the city
leased it for one dollar a year for a thirty years about three years ago. I don't know
how, it just worked out that way and they were going to make a park out of it, as
far as I'm concerned, that's great, as long as the public can enjoy it -------. but then
they started talking about having that Kingbridge Tournament. Which I have no
objections to the people in the kingsgbridge town but i do have objections to
changing the way this place is. Kingsbridge town parks like 8 or 9 thousand cars,
and where would you park 8 or 9 thousand cars- you would have to flatten this
whole area and make it one large parking lot. So they come out here and fix the
road which was good, and they built it up. then they brought out about 400 yards
of sand which was like two mountains down there by that green truck. And they
took a bull dozer and they went right down the side of the marsh all the way down
to the end and back around the corer. So I called them up to find out what was
going on when they started up, and they said they were trying to stabilize it. That
side on the river side has always needed stabilizing because the jetty rocks have
never been repaired, they just been allowed to sit there for the last 45- 50 years
and gradually --(sinks)-- as erosion occurs. Like I told them, if you want to repair
the jetty rocks bring in some more granite and stabilize that, I'll even ------------
back behind the jetty rocks, but don't take a damn dozer and go down the back side
which was stabilized already, the salt marshes haven't stabilized, all the vegetation
hasn't stabilized. So what they said they were gonna do was put an eighteen inch
square concrete I guess the concrete telephone that you see along the highways.

 Pete said something

83 of them all the way around so they can raise it 18 inches, I told them I don't
think so. So I called a bunch of people, the audobon society, sea air club and
talked to city engineers and all that stuff. The next thing I know the dozers left,
they were insistent that they weren't going to do any damages, and I heard
something about --(air shows)-- I don't know if its even true or not. When they
started the Kingbridge town down they were going to build a huge restaurant down
their on the corer. Now when is this crap going to end? this is a beautiful little
spot for people that don't have a lot of money, can bring their kids down here,
spend the day, picnic lunch, fish off the rocks, or cut their feet all up on the ------
they started to have a great time, and I'd hate to see it all change. I've been coming
out here ever since I was just a little kid. I love this spot, I spent, oh God, I've
