His concern is that loss of these slips will <br /> have a significant financial impact on his operation,necessitating a change in his business plan that <br /> would require additional land-based activity. <br /> In 1987 the City granted then-owner Gerald Toberman approval to redevelop the marina site, and <br /> at the same time move all sales operations to the gas station property across the road. In 1988, <br /> LMCD granted Sailors Worid variance approval for some dock revisions which resulted in removal <br /> of 20 buoys located more than 200' from the shore, but allowed 10 additional dock slips 100-200' <br /> from the shore for a period of 10 years. The 10 year period has now expired, and LMCD is <br /> forcing the issue of slip removal. <br /> It is stafPs view that the City agreed to moving the sales operation across the road in 1987 based on <br /> the expected decrease in intensity of activity at the marina site that would result. The boat sales <br /> operation eventually failed,and Toberman lost both properties. DeSantis ended up with the marina <br /> and did the redevelopment of it himself in the early 1990's. He has completed all work on it except <br /> landscaping,which we have allowed to be delayed pending resolution of the soil contamination <br />
