CZM approves permit for Lindqvist development

Sort of thought this was a dead issue - but it looks like they are still planning to build homes on Lindqvist, from the Daily News:

ST. THOMAS - The St. Thomas-St. John Coastal Zone Management Committee voted to approve a permit for a new Smith Bay residential development and authorized a modification to Ritz-Carlton Club's existing permit to build a member guest lounge and a second pool at its East End resort.

The committee also recommended the renewal of a water permit held by East End Boat Services during a CZM decision meeting held Thursday in the Historic Preservation conference room.

CZM's approval of St. Thomas-based PRM Smith Bay's major permit gives the company a green light to begin moving earth for lots on its 7.75 acres of waterfront property near Lindqvist Beach.

PRM plans for its Cabes Point development include building 17 single-family homes averaging 3,200 square feet, a beach house, manager's residence and a tennis court.

Individual building permits still would be required to construct each home, which have an estimated starting price of $1.5 million.

The development also will have an on-site water treatment plant and pedestrian public access to Lindqvist Beach.
