Dear Mayor and Commissioners,
On Tuesday August 9th you will be voting on a new ordinance relating to beach chairs. This topic is very important to The Surf Club Community.
We believe the current ordinance is both unfair and unreasonable. For example, neighboring buildings with 100 feet of beach front have a pre-set limit of 5 unoccupied chairs. The Surf Club, which has approximately 900 feet of beach front (9x larger), is restricted to a pre-set limit of only 15 unoccupied chairs. For this reason, we believe it to be unfairly applied.
The preset limitation also presents an unreasonable logistic issue, forcing the staff to scramble and carry chairs several hundred feet on demand when groups of people arrive. There is a large cost incurred in bringing chairs to the beach. Thus, we have no incentive to preset any more chairs than necessary for a given day’s use. In addition, we request permission to cautiously use an electric cart to transport the chairs on the hard pack, which would alleviate some of the unwarranted stress on beach employees.
The Surf Club Community supported the Commission during the election with this issue in mind, and we hope to have it resolved.
Please help us.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have stepped up to support this request. This momentum belongs entirely to the community members who took the time to speak out. I never imagined we would gain this much traction so quickly.

I pay very high taxes to Surfside. I should be able to use the beach without the unfair restrictions on beach chairs for my building.
I live at the Surfclub. It is unfair that we are restricted to so few chairs on the beach. I pay high taxes for my apartment in Surfside and I should be able to take my family to the beach in back of my residence. I Support the new beach chair ordinance .
The staff can't stand the situation anymore. Is unhuman how they carry the chairs under de sun.
We are a residence as well as a hotel We need beach chairs to reflect that We had to the community.
It is an outrage that residents of a luxury beachfront community would not have easy access to chairs and services on the beach. So many millions of dollars are paid by our residents for the betterment of the Surfside community. This is a very important issue for residents at Surf Club, which is always the cleanest and nicest beach property of all.
The current situation that exists is unfair to the staff that works there. Be more respectful of your workers and at the same time do not inconvenience your taxpayers
I believe the current ordnance to be both unfair and unreasonable.

Your rule on chairs on the beach causes us a lot of extra expenses and complications at the SurfClub .
