Big Sur wedding damages
Washington - UPI

Napster co-founder and former Facebook president Sean Parker has agreed to shell out $2.5 million for his role in turning an environmentally sensitive portion of Big Sur's redwood forest into a medieval-themed wedding venue for his 2013 marriage to Alexandra Lenas.
Additionally, Parker agreed as part of the settlement to create a beach-mapping app for the California Coastal Commission, the state agency that first issued the report on Parker's wrongdoings and more recently handed down his punishment.
"We're now working with his technical team, which is orders of magnitude beyond what we would be able to summon in terms of technical expertise within our agency," commission spokeswoman Sarah Christie told the San Francisco Chronicle. "It was a creative resolution ... that will ultimately benefit public access."
According to the Commission report, Parker and his wedding planners outfitted a public campground with "rock walls, stairways, a stone bridge, a faux cottage and pond, a stone archway and a dance floor." He apparently spent $10 million doing so -- and all without proper permits.
In the aftermath of the wedding and the report, the billionaire tech mogul's environmental faux pas became a symbol for Silicon Valley's runaway greed and arrogance. The backlash was palpable enough to move Parker to pen an angry diatribe against the media for their role in demonizing his behavior.
Almost half of Parker's settlement payments will go to the agency in the form of fines, while $1.4 million will be distributed among a number of local non-profits leading conservation and environmental education projects.
The settlement was agreed to last year, but details of the payout were finally leaked this week.
