SOUTH PADRE ISLAND — Larry Polsky said he will file a petition with the Texas Supreme Court if he has to.
Polsky wants to build a residential subdivision a half mile north of beach access six on the Island.
Now, he is disputing an order from the General Land Office to stop construction even though he has a permit given to him from Cameron County with the approval to develop ocean front land.
For the last four years his effort to develop beachfront property he owns on the Island has been on hold.
“It’s a terrible situation and I absolutely harm no one,” Polsky said.
In 2008 Polsky purchased his 1.5 acres of land totaling three lots. He said he wanted to live on one lot and sell the others.
In 2009, he was reported to the GLO for pouring concrete on the beach around his property.
Polsky said he filed a petition for a rehearing to the Third District Court of Appeals who upheld a lower court’s decision in an opinion stating that Polsky’s development project violated state, coastal and county dune protection laws.
