A few Walton County Commissioners For Sale, really cheap. Actually, I will pay someone to haul them off from Walton County if you promise they want step foot back into Walton County politricks.
Thank God for Cindy Meadows and Sara Commander, but tonight, Walton County was one vote short. :bang: Based on the precedence set tonight at the WalCo Annex, anyone can do what ever the hell they want to when it comes to developing property, because the BCC relies upon the Planning Staff and the Planning Staff says that they rely on the applicant (developer). :twisted:
A few people hired some very impressive lawyers (you know how much I hate lawyers, but I would welcome Mike Burke to represent me regarding real estate ) who ripped a new @$$ into the County Planner in charge of this NatureWalk Beach Club project. He ran Planner Tim Brown through the ringer, poking many holes in Mr. Brown's reasoning, showing numerous ways how this proposal for the Beach Club is not allowed based on the Walton County Comp Plan and based on Non-conforming use. Commissioners Pridgen and Jones voted in favor of Comm Brannon's motion. Commissioner Jones even had the audacity to state that he was voting based on evidence presented and the recommendation of the Staff. As a reminder, the Staff Planner, Tim Brown, contradicted his statements, and gave testimony that the project exceeded things like density, and allowable footprint.
Under the Non-conforming issue, a building can not be expanded or it loses its non-conforming use. This Beach Club will triple the square footage of the existing buildings.
I won't go into the details, but know that some of the Walton County Commissioners are not listening to the evidence given and they are basing their votes on something out of this world. I guess it would help if the Commissioners were required to actually remain in the room during the time when evidence and testimony is given. :bang:

I'm surprised when I read these seemingly negative comments about the over-development in the SoWal area...as if the horror just started happening yesterday??? :confused:
Not so very long ago, while the natural beauty surrounding the entire area of 30-A was being stripped away for new subdivisions and "upmarket" development by JOE & friends it was all rollie-pollies :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: and happy-clappies :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:
Greed moved into this area about 6 years ago...first quietly on its own, then gathering momentum and support as it took many along for the ride. There is no putting this genie back into the bottle.

maybe I should have choosen a different word than loot, how about repatriate. If my wind insurance keeps skyrocketing, I;m paying for it anyway and if its in front of the federal line of demarcation I'll declare salvage rights.

Remember how she wants to take corporate profits for gov't expansion? ...but, that should be it's own thread.;-)

Why, SJ, why? :bang: I was trying not to go there out of respect for you and this thread. Trying to give you a little break cuz I know how much you hate Hillary. You had to go open that BS.
Please note it was the 2 WOMEN commisioners that voted the morally correct way!!!!!!!!!! Please leave Hillary out of this sheeet as it only dilutes the subject. Haven't women taken enough crap this week??? 😱
There is strength in numbers. Please don't try to divide us on this.

I think it is wonderful that the 2 female commissioners did the right thing when casting their no vote for Naturewalk. But the fact that they are female has absolutley zero zilch to do with anything, and being female does not make them more "moral", like seacrestkristi is implying.
I will never band together with other females just because I am female. That is like voting a straight Democrat ticket just because you are Democrat. People will get my attention and consideration based on what they do, not their sex.:nono1:

True, SHELLY, but there are levels of egregiousness. Development of privately held land is usually not avoidable. When the county commissioners publicly flout the laws they are expected to follow (oh, wait, they did that with the seawalls too :bang: ) it's time to demand oversight.

Surfers love big giant hurricane swells and those same swells love to eat ocean front property. Just remember folks Mother nature doesn't take cash or checks, she takes what she wants when she wants. put the bullseye on the forementioned beachclub! Lets hope they have nice furnishings, we'll loot that place first.
Good plan :clap_1:

True. I'm still pissed at Eve for eating that apple and creating this whole "modesty" stigma :blink: .
All the money I've spent on trivial things like clothes...
Damn immoral women...

So do your little nono to someone else. Thank you. BTW, Hillary, negatively, got drug in to this thread by SJ! Just decided to turn lemons in to lemonade. Can't blame a gull for that, or can you?! :razz: 😀 😀 :clap_1: Now what about the over development of Sowal county? :wub: Isn't that something we could all be passionate about together without attacking? :shark:
:scratch: I never implied anything, just stated facts.
I will never band together with other females just because I am female.
:scratch: Kinda sad really. Isn't that how women finally got the right to vote in the first place?
That is like voting a straight Democrat ticket just because you are Democrat.
People do it all the time when they don't know the candidates and I don't hear much controversey about it.
People will get my attention and consideration based on what they do, not their sex.:nono1:

seacrestkristi,
I like a mix of females in gov't, and have publicly and privately applauded Commissioners Commander and Meadows on their vote in this Beach Club issue.

Sorry everybody:blush: What about Naturewalk???? Did the height restriction just get lifted to 4 stories or is that where it's at now? Isn't it 3 now? Will everyone be allowed or just them? What's up with that? :idontno:
SoWal ExpertAuthor
height limits are four stories or 50ft, which ever comes first, that's if we are talking about Walton County Policy which is no longer worth the paper on which it is written.
