Fences along a pass named for a rumored pirate
Madeira Beach's waterfront lots sit along John's Pass, cut through the barrier island by the 1848 hurricane and named for John Levique, and the town's 1951 merger of two separate communities left slightly different platting conventions on either side of the pass. Few nearby towns spent decades as two entirely separate incorporated communities.
What that merged-town platting means for fencing
Confirming which side of Madeira Beach's original 1947-51 town merger a property sits on can explain unexpected property-line quirks before a fence project begins. Assuming one consistent platting standard across the whole town overlooks its split origin.
