    Enforcing Beach Ordinances - Revenue Opportunity?

    The county is looking at a new dogs on the beach ordinance on March 22nd. Perhaps this is a good time to let our Commissioners know that dogs are running loose, glass bottles are out, and I have even seen non permitted cars on beach overlooked by a roving beach patrol. These guys need to let...

    Lirrle Italy Restorante Coming to Grayton Beach?

    Where is the restaurant going to be.... is it really in Grayton Beach or in one of the close by areas on 30 A? I find it a little disturbing to see businesses saying that they are in Grayton Beach when they aren't...our guests in town get confused and it really is misleading...almost like false...

    There are two excellent Letters to the editor in the Walton Sun this week...about this...and I think it will pass as there are many folks who are tired of sharing their neighborhood.

    Proposed Rental Ordinance Update?

    solve an issue that is being created by less than a half dozen property owners. I think you may have your numbers wrong...there are a lot of HOME OWNERS that live full time next to these rental homes and I think they also have rights too.

    Proposed Rental Ordinance Update?

    I see where you are afraid of fellow vacation renters maybe tattling over the abusers...ever thing about the families that live there full time...it isn't a rental that they live in, it is their permanent home... it is an ongoing weekly thing for them...the owner of the rental home is not part...

    Perhaps Scooter, They will be doing the inspecting because they have to answer emergency calls when there are fires, pool accidents, or rip tide calls. In Grayton for instant, sometimes because of the parking at these mega overloaded homes, parking extends into streets, private homes, and...

    Beach vehicle permit ordinance changes

    Beach vehicle permit ordinance changes

    Our county has so many beaches that have parking, beach walk overs, and barhrooms...all are free for our visitors and for those that rent. We have one small beach, less than 900 feet that resides in a small community that allows driving on the beach. I do not believe that our county needs to...

    new Cowgirls kitchen and 723 Whiskey Bravo

    Seems that I remember a big issue that came up at the Commissioner's Meeting on the Comp Plan about roads for businesses needing to be paved. Since the business faces 30A ,traffic should be routed via 30A. 30A is already ruined as far as I am concerned with traffic etc so one more congested area...

    Comander vs Kramer - thoughts?

    Just saw in the Walton Sun where Mr. Kramer said Ms. Comander reminded him of his Grandmother....thought that was really funny. She is 64 and he is 60. I guess he has one of those magic mirrors...he must see `"grandson" rather than Grandpa when he brushes his teeth.

    Beach vehicle permit ordinance changes

    That Voter thing was tried last year...and removed from the draft! The folks at the open hearing didn't buy that! Anyone that lives in Walton County, and owned a Walton county property with a house on it, could have received a permit if they had a permit in 2009 and renewed it by August 1, 2010...

    Beach vehicle permit ordinance changes

    Kurt, i was at meeting last night...no proposal...a "suggestion" was made about a cap of 900. The Commissioners asked their legal advisor to write up a new draft to include some of the concerns that they had received about the Driving on Beach permits. They had said that they would revisit it in...

    Yes, seems developers be they in the county or out of the county, carry more weight and are feared by the county because they might sue....not everything is about the almighty dollar. There are so many restaurants/bar type ventures that have gone sour in this area....or half finished projects/...

    Proposed Rental Ordinance Update?

    interested in your opinion as to how "some control and providing a contact" might be insulting...as a resident who lives in a neighborhood surrounded by short time renters, some great, some so-so, and some weekly visitors from hell...I would really love to hear your opinion. I honestly would.

    new Cowgirls kitchen and 723 Whiskey Bravo

    If any music is played outside...the music carries...and houses located over a block away can hear...it can be disturbing. I still think that a business fronting on 30A should not have traffic entering or leaving through residential areas. Red Bar/ Shortie's in Grayton great examples of adding...

    Proposed Rental Ordinance Update?

    Not sure, but think a lot of folks rent their places and do it via the web. They set up the short time rentals, tell them where the key is, etc. They collect the check. The renters have no supervision or formal check in...those living near the short term renters (Spring Breakers are the worse)...

    AND, why should those that live in and love this area, have to settle for an "imaginary ugly vision" to accept what our Commissioners and Planning Department is doing to our community?

    Dogs on Beach

    No dogs without permits is for the good of the beach. Very disgusting to have grand child dig up a turd while playing in sand. I feel the same way about cars on beach without permits. There are reasons for the rules. Surprised at Kurt's reply.

    HOA bans smoking on condo balconies

    The only way you would have known about this meeting, was if you received a notice because you were 300 yards away from the lot in question or if you stopped and read the sign posted on the property. Changes like this that could really impact the whole neighborhood needed more publication in my...
