text: This is the appropriate end to this egregious decision by the Honeywells and their hired help to ignore State and County shoreline protection laws. This fine and conclusion should cause other wealthy, arrogant "trophy home" builders to pay closer attention to established public law and policy in site development.
  
  It is unfortunate that so many County and DOE staff hours were paid for by taxpayers to respond to the Honeywells disingenuous arguments and appeals based upon their willingness to spend far more on attorney fees than the fines themselves.
  
  Based upon the confrontational way they have dealt with this issue we should all be concerned with their other grandiose plans for that property. Especially the proposed 240 foot dock in False Bay for summer time recreational boating...what a travesty of common sense and ignorance of living within the larger community of life around us.
  
  Just imagine....they own up to the mistake, pay a small fine, apologize, restore the shoreline.  Done.
