SEE PARKING
FROM PAGE 1 discussion about parking. During the meeting, both sides aired some of their grievances and agreed to work to find solutions.
Titsworth said she’s concerned about the lack of communication between the county and city and some of the inaccurate information being shared as fact at county commission meetings and with the media concerning parking in Holmes Beach.
The city has 1,261 non-permit public parking spaces, including some on residential streets and at beach ends in residential neighborhoods. There also are 642 permit-only spots open to residents of the Island city until 5 p.m. daily. All of these parking spaces are located a quarter-mile or less from the beach. When Holmes Beach leaders created the permit-only spaces on residential streets following COVID-19 closures in 2020, it was the implementation of a city plan that had been in the works for several years. It also eliminated 497 parking spaces citywide. The city needs 476 public parking spaces to qualify for beach renourishment funds.
Titsworth said the parking changes were implemented to help residents who were having a difficult time with beachgoers parking on residential streets. Some of the issues include noise, trespassing, trash and people using residential properties as restrooms and using outdoor hoses for showers, noting that no facilities are available outside of Manatee Beach in Holmes Beach. She said it also creates a safety problem as there are no lifeguards present outside of the public beach boundaries.
Sticking to her guns, Titsworth said the city would provide no additional public parking and that it’s up to the county to do so. She added that she’s provided Hopes with the name of a commercial property owner seeking to sell the former Bank of America location on Manatee Avenue, with the suggestion that the county could purchase the property and use it for beach parking. Currently, the city’s codes have no provision for a parking garage to be built.
Van Ostenbridge responded that if additional lifeguards are needed outside of the public beach, it would be up to the city to provide them.
To combat parking issues, he said he would contact Holmes Beach churches to see if they would be willing to provide public parking on their properties. It would require a change in city codes and two public hearings to allow for public parking at local churches for non-church functions.
During a June 8 city commission meeting, Father Matthew Grunfeld, of the Episcopal Church of the Annunciation, said his congregation has no interest in being put in the middle of the county and city fight over parking.
At Anna Maria Elementary School, Van Ostenbridge agreed the county would look into supplying a restroom trailer on the property and would contact the Florida Department of Transportation about providing flashing crosswalk signage for the crosswalk at Gulf Drive. Titsworth pointed out that vehicles stopping for pedestrians could cause vehicular traffic delays.
The county representatives also agreed to reach out to FDOT concerning the traffic patterns on stoplights leading down Manatee Avenue to the public beach. Holmes Beach Commissioner Jayne Christenson maintains that part of the problem on the Island isn’t lack of parking but an issue with the timing of the traffic light at Manatee Avenue and East Bay Drive, something the city’s been trying to work with the county and FDOT to have remedied for months.
TUESDAY TANGLE
The stalemate between the two sides was short-lived.
During a June 8 Manatee County Commission meeting, the city of Holmes Beach was under consideration for potential tourist development funding. While one smaller project was approved by commissioners, a second larger one was not. Van Ostenbridge took a moment before voting to say that city leaders need to consider the consequences of their actions before voting against providing funding to the city.
Mayor Judy Titsworth was not at the county meeting due to a prior obligation.
During a Holmes Beach commission meeting held the same day, commissioners and the mayor all expressed their displeasure with the decision.
Commissioners Terry Schaefer and Christenson both said they’d agreed to meet with Van Ostenbridge to listen to what he has to say but that they wouldn’t be attempting to broker a deal on the city’s behalf. Christenson also said she would be meeting with Hopes and County Commissioner Carol Whitmore.
“We finally poked the bear hard enough that they’re finally listening to us,” Christenson said. Prior to being a commissioner, Christenson worked with two committees to address parking and traffic in Holmes Beach. She noted that the first presentation of the parking committee concerning residential street parking took place in 2014.
Commissioner Jim Kihm said he feels the county should be more proactive in planning for future growth rather than putting pressure on the city to make up for a lack of planning. Even if city leaders added back the lost 497 spaces, with more than 10,000 people moving to Manatee County every year and an average of 30,000 vehicles coming on to the Island every weekend day looking for parking, adding a few hundred spaces won’t solve the problem, he said.
Kihm said city and county leaders need to have more dialogue and come up with real solutions and the financing to pay for them to address parking and traffic concerns.

FROM PAGE 13 them and city leaders, though she said that isn’t something that can be done overnight. She also added they’re awaiting final verdicts in all three of the pending court cases concerning the treehouse before making a final decision about its removal.
Tran said they’re willing to work with the city to come to a reasonable solution to the problems.
The couple was denied renewal of their vacation rental certificates in late 2020 due to the outstanding code violation on the property, namely the continued existence of the treehouse in its beachfront Australian pine-andtelephone-pole perch and the more than $200,000 in fines accumulated against it. City leaders say the matter of the treehouse needs to be resolved and the fines settled before the VRCs can be renewed to allow the couple to rent the units legally in the city.
Since an after-the-fact permit for the treehouse cannot be given because it doesn’t meet current building codes, city leaders are demanding that the treehouse be removed. One of the three cases concerning the treehouse pending in the 12th Judicial Circuit Court is an injunction for the city to forcibly have the treehouse removed. The case does not yet have a court date set for a hearing.
Special Magistrate Michael Connolly recommended Tran, Hazen and city leaders engage in arbitration. Connolly, who said he doesn’t have the jurisdiction to grant renewal of the couple’s VRCs and ruled there is a continuing violation on the property, did not assess a fine in addition to the current $125 per day fine he ordered during an April code compliance hearing. 12th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Charles Sniffen heard the city’s motion to dismiss the third amended complaint lodged by Tran and Hazen on June 9, with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection joining the city’s motion.
In the complaint, Tran and Hazen allege the actions taken against them by the city and FDEP violate their rights as property owners and as people. In her arguments, Tran said the case was filed to stop the forcible removal of the treehouse by the city and the accumulation of daily fines, which have been collecting at $50 per day since a code enforcement hearing in 2015. Tran served as her and Hazen’s counsel during the hearing.
The $50-per-day fine is in addition to the $125-per-day fine assessed by Connolly in response to the couple’s continued renting of the property in violation of the Holmes Beach vacation rental certificate ordinance.
Speaking on behalf of the city, attorney Randy Mora said the city is sympathetic to her serving as their counsel but feels the matter needs to move forward, urging Sniffen to dismiss the case with prejudice so that it cannot be refiled.
Tran said she’s working to write the complaint for herself and her husband and if Sniffen rules that it be amended again, she said she’d like more specific instructions about what needs to be included rather than have him dismiss the complaint altogether. When pleading for relief, she said she’s not sure what relief is possible at this point but hopes that the case will go to trial and she will be permitted to provide discovery materials to the court.
“I can only hope that justice will be rendered,” Tran said.
Though Sniffen said he would provide a ruling on the case by June 11, no ruling had been filed as of press time for The Sun.

MOTE: Support from county commission
FROM PAGE 11
In response to a question from Commissioner Mark Short, Murphy said the city will not have to make a $500,000 lump sum payment to cover the buildout costs. As the work is completed incrementally, the city will pay the contractors and invoice the county for reimbursement.
Murphy said he could not yet provide an estimated start date.
WATER TAXI
During Thursday’s meeting, Murphy said he’s a proponent of a specific type of water taxi.
“I’m not a proponent of tour boats. I’m not a proponent of somebody charging $30 to take people down to Bradenton Beach on a sightseeing tour. That’s not solving a traffic problem. The water taxi I’m in favor of would bring service workers from downtown Bradenton or Palmetto to our pier, where they then can catch a trolley and go to wherever they work,” he said.
Murphy said the water taxi service he envisions would need to be subsidized by the county, similar to MCAT bus services. He said support from local businesses could provide additional revenues.
“It should be part of the public transit system. It has to be affordable. I think that would be a positive step for this Island, to start bringing service workers across by water taxi,” Murphy said.
Commission Chair Carol Carter questioned whether beachgoers from the mainland who bring tents, coolers and other beach supplies would use a water taxi.
“They’re not going to put that on a water taxi and then unload it and try to get to the beach,” she said.
After Thursday’s meeting, Murphy said, “Commissioners Whitmore and Van Ostenbridge have been huge supporters of our Mote Marine project and they opened doors for us in getting the project where it is today. Both are true friends to our city.”

28 THE SUN SPORTS
Shootout win for last seed Salty Printing
BY MONICA SIMPSON
SPECIAL TO THE SUN
Last week started the playoff games for another adult co-ed soccer season at The Center. The second game on the Thursday night schedule would prove to be a battle royale, giving the spectators their money’s worth, so to speak.
In a repeat match-up of the last week of the regular season, the top-ranked Beach Bums team, led by Yuri Pereira, took to the pitch with team Salty Printing. Kevin Roman’s Salty squad lost the previous meeting against Pereira’s team by two goals, ultimately putting them in eighth place going into the playoffs.
With technically an undefeated regular season, with a 6-0-1 record, Beach Bums was clearly the favorite to win the quarter-final game of the week.
Coming in as the underdog, Salty Printing could not field a full squad all season, mostly due to season-ending injuries that plagued a number of the team’s players.
This roster issue continued into the first round of playoffs. With five on the field and a goalie, playing one down, Salty Printing fortunately had a substitute player on the sideline – fresh legs that would become critical in the game.
Despite the underdog status and playing with one less player than Beach Bums, Salty Printing played tough and played physical, matching the physicality and energy of their adversary of the week.
Going into halftime, it looked like Beach Bums would be moving forward to the semifinal round of games, but another half of play would prove otherwise.
The Beach Bums squad had a sub on the bench to move in and out of the game as needed, but their lack of use of the additional player in the first half proved to be an error in the final 20 minutes of play.
With the heat of the evening and tired legs getting the best of them, the Beach Bums defense struggled to keep the Salty Printing shooters away from goalkeeper Tuna McCracken.
Despite his best efforts, McCracken finished with five saves in regulation time, letting three get past him.
Taking an onslaught of strikes from the Beach Bums offense, goalie Matt Marshall stopped 10 shots. Marshall was also scored on three times, resulting in a tied game after regulation play.
As the seconds ticked off the scoreboard clock, the bodychecks increased and the action became more heated. With a calamitous step by Pereira onto the leg of Murat Akay, tempers flared and Akay was out for the rest of the game with an ankle injury.
Salty’s scoring was completed by Roman with one point, and Gerardo Urbiola, who was able to get two of his shots past McCracken.
In critical support on the field, Robbie Fellowes, Nate Talucci, Ed Moss and Akay fought for position and the ball for the Salty team.
Lucky Durmaz had all three Beach Bums goals, with an assist by Emily Fischer. Playing both sides of midfield, Tyler Brewer, Blair Schlossberg and Jamie Hutchinson helped take the Beach Bums team to a shootout.
After the spirited play on the field, the energy was high going into the penalty kicks from both teams.
Putting their five best shooters on the official list, the names and order of those selected to fire the soccer ball strategically toward the goal could determine which team secured a spot in the semifinals.
With McCracken on the line, Roman was slated as the first shooter. His shot sailed past the goalie to start the shootout.
Alternating shooting team order, Fischer, Fellowes, and Hutchinson all made their shots for their teams.
A string of four shooters surprisingly missed. Talucci, Durmaz, Gerardo and Brewer, all excellent shooters, could not help their team capture the W.
Finally, Salty Printing keeper Marshall took to the shooter’s position.
Knowing that making the shot could propel his team toward the championship game, Marshall remained calm and shot the soccer ball past McCracken for the team’s third point in overtime play.
Team captain Pereira was the fifth and final shooter for Beach Bums. Making the shot meant another round of shooting; missing the shot meant it was all over for Pereira’s top-seed team.
Feeling all the pressure, Pereira could not put a point in the stats book. The unexpected victorious Salty Printing team worked hard to survive and lives to play another week at The Center.
