A judge has tossed out a lawsuit by a Siesta Key group that was trying to block the city’s planned dredging of Big Pass in order to rebuild parts of Lido Beach.
Circuit Court Judge Andrea McHugh granted the city of Sarasota’s request to dismiss a suit brought by the Siesta Key Association in March 2017.
The Herald-Tribune says the suit claimed the the city was required to seek and obtain approval of the project from the Sarasota County Commission as required by environmental chapters of the comprehensive plans of both jurisdictions.
