Flagler County Accuses Dune Hold-Out of ‘Bad Faith’ and ‘Abomination,’ and Wants Property Seized

December 8, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 16 Comments

The Cynthia d'Angiolini homestead is--ironically--more protected from bankruptcy court than it is from a surging ocean, though she has continued to refuse to sign easements for a beach-front parcel, or dune remnant, in front of the house (across the street), and one other nearby, thus preventing the county from going forward with a dune-reconstruction project. The county learned last week that she had also not disclosed ownership of the remnants in bankruptcy proceedings, as required by law. (© FlaglerLive)

Flagler County government is accusing the lone hold-out in a planned dune-rebuilding project along State Road A1A in Flagler Beach of “bad faith,” “fraud” and deception, and is asking a federal court to revoke her discharge from bankruptcy and enable the government to seize all but her homesteaded assets. Cynthia d’Angiolini, the 71-year-old property owner, today countered that “Flagler County is not a creditor in this case and has no standing.”
