BOYNTON BEACH — A community in unincorporated Boynton
Beach is fighting to stop a water ski park from being built.
Over 200 people who live in the area held a protest
this afternoon.
Valencia Reserve H.O.A. President Jeffrey Schepp stands in front of
hundreds of people who live in the neighborhood.
The group is fighting this new lake being built across from them, which
could potentially be a water ski park.
Schepp says this lake was built with no permits or approval from the
county.
On Thursday a county grand magistrate will look at all the code
violations from this past year.
These residents hope that will finally stop the developer from
continuing.
Jeffrey Pepper says he has watched this land go from farming to this.
He says he doesn’t want to hear the noise from a water ski park. |

A phone call made to the lawyer who represents the developer was not
returned on Monday.
People at the protest say they plan to pay attention to what happens at
the meeting on Thursday and they hope the county does something more to
stop what is going on there.
