Town Council rejects zoning variance for by-the-glass sales; applicant may appeal.

Boathouse owners’ attorney says it’s unfair his clients were deposed, while town officials are “too busy and important” to testify.

Two-term Town Council Member Bill Martini says he will not seek re-election.

Residents ask: Why does the town want the boathouses?

Town manager: “It’s up to the courts now.”

Windermere Mayor says letters were sent in error; promises replacements will be mailed.

Windermere claims the town owns five boathouses at the foot of Palmer Park. Seven residents say they have quit-claim deeds that show otherwise, and they've retained a notable attorney to prove it. Now things are really getting ugly.

The proposal would likely mean ending current leases for those using the boathouses. But the attorney for the boathouse "owners" says the town is bullying his clients and taking their "private property."

Three open town council seats filled by default.

Two seats and the mayor’s gavel will be decided in March 8 election.
