Minister hints at Barkers bar ‘success’

Barkers Beach, Grand Cayman

(CNS): The tourism minister has given the first indication from a Cabinet member that the application by the owner of Calico Jack’s to clear turtle grass and build a dock in Barkers, paving the way for a new bar and tourist facility, could get the green light. Moses Kirkconnell alluded to possible “success” for Handel Whittaker’s controversial application Monday, despite concerns from the public. The hint that the coastal works application, which is decided by Cabinet, may be granted in some way follows another direct public appeal for the project from Dart.

Speaking on Radio Cayman’s For the Record, Kirkconnell made a brief reference to the project, indicating that there was support for Whittaker’s plan, for which he has applied to remove more than four acres of sea grass in a replenishment zone at Barkers on land owned by the Dart Group.

The minister said that the project was a “good example of the strength of our Department of Environment and people who want to do development in the right way”, as he indicated that Whittaker was talking to the department about how it could happen.

The DoE has not yet revealed the technical advice it has given to Cabinet but in the past the experts there have warned against removing turtle grass for a catalog of reasons, including its critical importance to marine eco-systems and the role it plays in protecting beaches.

But, hinting that he expected a positive result sometime in the near future, Kirkconnell said that Whittaker was an “extremely successful restaurateur and tourism ambassador, who understands the product and understands the community”.

“He, now, is meeting with the Department of Environment and looking at options that will allow him to be successful and allow a balance for the environment,” he said, adding that Whittaker had spent “real time” recently “moving the project forward”.

The minister’s comments come on the heels of the clear indication, made by Dart Real Estate president Jackie Doak at the Chamber of Commerce Legislative Lunch last week, that the islands’ biggest developer is keen to see Barkers start to be developed to alleviate the pressure on Seven Mile Beach from tourists.

Her comments also echoed sentiments expressed recently by her colleague Mark VanDevelde, CEO of Dart Enterprises, who said that the group wanted to see “thoughtful development in the Barkers area”.

However, the West Bay community has very real concerns that developing the last stretch of unspoiled local beach on the western side of the island would be the beginning of the end of any kind of beach access for residents.

A campaign to save and preserve Barkers in its natural state has garnered considerable support and it is understood that the environment ministry received an unprecedented number of objections to the coastal works application.

    Why not put it Cayman Brac? They could do with it eh Deputy Premier?

    • Boris says:

      Government does not really care about the future of these Islands, which is unfortunate and we don’t have to look very far to see that. There is an interesting Headline in the Jamaica Observer today. ” Cayman Sends Warning to Britain ”
      The Premier says he will go for independence if UK insists on new rules, including same sex marriage. McLaughlin says he will lead the move towards independence..
      Perhaps Alden might consider addressing the people about his plan for independence before opting for a photo shoot in the Observer.

      BINGO! The point of the sea grass removal is not for the bar (which is only temporary and isnt even being leased to Handel its being licensed which means all they have to do is cancel the license. The Bora Bora style huts are what they really want to build out there.

      The reasoning makes no sense. Jackie is talking about the pressure on SMB, DART created the pressure as part of their sea to sound development plan!

    Hey, didnt the Central Planning Authority just refuse an application for a bar and restaurant in a hotel zone on an East End beach? What is the difference here besides this proposal by Handel being in a West Bay hotel zone?

    According to the article, the CPA accepted the lawyers argument that commercial activity should be in a commercial zone, not a hotel tourism zone.

        The eastern ‘half’ of Barkers is ‘earmarked’ for a nature reserve. The western ‘half’ of Barkers is not so earmarked; I don’t know its Planning designation (but the OP is right the CPA EE decision may come into play). The water on the north coast of Barkers is currently a Replenishment Zone.

        • SSM345 says:

          Ahhhhh. So DART hoodwinked our Govt when they bought it like most deals knowing full well what they were doing and going to do with the non earmarked/nature reserve/ replenishment zone back then…..Jackpot. Its like taking a bet with a person of special needs knowing full well you win.

        From the land maps and DoP zoning lists, it looks like all the land in that area is either low density residential, beach resort/residential and mangrove buffer. The east end bar/restaurant was turned down because it pretended to be cottages with a bar/restaurant in a beach residential zone which would have been okay except the fake ‘cottages’ were too thin a disguise for what was really just a bar/restaurant. In the same capacity, a bar/restaurant at Barkers in same zoning (beach resort/residential) would also not fly unless the bar/restaurant is part of a (yet to be disclosed to public) larger plan for cottages (a tourist development and certainly not intended for residents). I think theres a larger plan!

    Beach will disappear once the grass is removed. Maybe next if we add sand around all the inner island ponds and turn the water blue we can create blue holes for masses. Lets build one of those glass bridges they have all over China from East to West across the North Sound at about 7ft above water level the entire distance. We could also make Sand Cay an exclusive tanning bed! Lets put a white line in the sand or those orange bollards just inbetweem the high water mark on SMB from the Wharf to WB Public Dock (we could even add lights on said bollards that charge by solar during the day so they flash all night for people wanting a romantic stroll). We can just add robotic stingrays to the sandbar, guided tours of our Mt and carry on. These people re going to destroy everything in their path and they do not give a flying F. Our Govt are nothing but money grabbing bastards with no thought process past their own noses. Cannot wait till Cayman cannot go camping at Easter because they is absolutely nowehere to go;you think it joke.

    Good God CNS, since when has DART owned the sea bed at Barkers or anywhere else? Your piece infers that the replenishment zone is ON land that DART owns, it is not, the replenishment zone is crown property. Either this is a badly written piece or your facts are way out of line.

    Previously I posted an attempt at ridicule at the government’s willingness to give in to connected business interests.
    But this Barkers development plan is much more serious and deserving of a wholehearted reply with the seriousness that it deserves. Barkers represents virgin Caymanian land and wildlife; for this government force planning and the DoE to agree to such a disrespectful land use as a bar clearing out turtle grass so cruise ship visitors can get drunk in the national park is outrageous.
    It shows how little respect this government has for the people or the country. It is fitting this is the same government to force through the cruise ship dock while ignoring the dump.
    Vote them all out.

    The “owner’s” argument that his clients will want pristine waters is moot. To most visitors, Barkers waters are “pristine” in comparison to may other places. Perhaps they’ve been “spoiled” by Calico’s SMB location but so what?!

    WHEN this application is approved it will be shameful! In fact it’s shameful even for Govt to accept the application! Anyway, God’s seagrass will return and someone will have to pay to scoop it out every time. Anything for $$$! Disgusting!!

    So disgusted! You group of trash government ministers of cabinet that disregarded the caymanian people once again! To think that the DoT spend so much to do cruise conversion to stay-over and we would trade the gorgeous 7-mile beach for barkers beach (it’s not 7-mile beach – simple) as part of our “winning package” is just beyond any scope of sustainability or sense. This show that there is a bigger agenda with this. Notwithstanding the bigger issue: destroying the only tranquil untouched part of Grand Cayman that is left for the people to enjoy.

    This conjures up so much feelings of anger and revolutionary thoughts, that there is not space enough here to express how disgusted this makes us all. Talk about growing feelings of antagonism among Caymanians. The DART company and those pushing this has got this one project wrong. All else was palatable…but this right here: No amount of “careful sustainable” jargon and BS will suffice and appease just what you are doing to the Caymanian people’s hearts with this destruction. This is not development! It is cold-heart elitism and greed. It is like a part of our soul will be ripped from us as a people and the people elected to serve us has once again turned a blind eye and deaf ear.

    Ministers of Cabinet, including Tara Rivers – a West Bayer and McKeeva Bush we really are disgusted by your inability to see the hearts of the Caymanian people with this one crucial thing.

        Make it greatest? For whom? What is the definition of “the greatest” for a Caribbean island?

        The financial services industry is the primary driver of your economy. It is a primary contributor to GDP. The industry is an indispensable source of revenue with nearly half of all government funding coming from financial services contributions.

        Yet, public believes that tourism generates more economic activity for the country than financial services. A disproportionate focus on tourism sends an inaccurate signal to the community to its importance in relative terms.
        But for every dollar they spend on financial services, they roughly receive around $18 from financial services. Comparably with tourism, they receive less than $2 in revenue,

        You can live happily ever after without building a single hotel or a condo just on revenues generated the financial service industry.

    I cautiously support the construction of the Cruise Port. Cautiously because there are real environmental consequences, that have to be weighed against potential public benefits to it’s construction. All-in-all, the intention is this will be a public good.

    But really!? A friggin bar for the destruction of so much marine life habitat. Are we @$#@ing mad!?

    It just goes to show exactly how far the voice of the people goes with this bunch. May as well just change the name of the island to CayDart Islands. It appears the island I came back home to is truly dead to me. Time to pack up my family and leave my ancestral home.

      Good idea, but DartCay Islands has a better ring to it.

      Consider that there aren’t yet 25% in favor of a vote on a clean procurement process for the docks. Everyone should want fair play, yet surrender seems to be preferance of majority.

      Best of luck to you and your family. I hope your new home is one where you feel like you can thrive and grow and enjoy your community. As a Fellow Caymanian who has also left with my family it is heartbreaking when you realize the place you love is so far gone that you feel you can no longer live in what has become an extremely unbalanced society. Yes, I dearly miss my friends and family and defintley miss the beach but I value my children’s future, their sense of self and my own sanity too much to stay on the rock… a place I once loved with all my heart and soul.

          In the eyes of the law, it matters not. Make wiser choices at the polls should you take issue with legislation.

            We all agree with you, if the particular grant is legal.

            Some, it is believed, were not.

            As there has been no impartial investigation despite obvious indications that one would be appropriate, we may never know.

            The consequence is that some Caymanians will quite reasonably question the “Caymanian-ness” of some others.

            Dat wha you get.

      Public beach has been sold already; and when Calicos closes so will all those vendors and pb because of construction. Thats why they allowed now to make quick cash. Unnah blind. If they cared about people enjoying it as we have all our lives they would fix the issue. Much easier now for everyone to stop going on their own accord so when its announced that PB getting developed along with Calicos site they can say “Unnah stopped going there”. Public land being used for commerical gain illegally; Govt should make it legal without $5 chair rentals right?
