Driftwood on the BCC Agenda

Alan, Thanks for your involvement in this South Walton issue. What time? Place on agenda? Is the BCC meeting Tuesday, Sept. 9 at the SoWal Annex?

Meeting starts at 4:00 P.M. at the South Annex. Alan is scheduled at 4:50 P.M.. I plan to be there to see if the county follows up on what it should do.

Here's the agenda in case you are interested in some of the other items too.

I will be speaking at the BCC tuesday night. It has been over 60 days since the BCC gave the developers a order to comply within 45 days.(They have done nothing!) I have already sued the developers for noncompliance. I will offer to let the county join our suit at MY expense to both fix the neighborhood and repay the county for the money it has spent. Just so the facts are straight the State DCA is in agreement with the homeowners on the drainage deviations from the development order and have stated so in writing. See you there!:lolabove:

This issue has growing interest throughout the county beyond Drfitwood Homeowners. Its outcome will surely set a precedent for how the County government follows through on what is right for the people. Hope the "Sun" will be there to report what happens to the people.

Ho-Hum

Very limited interest beyond those in the flood zone called Driftwood Estates other than the circus.

Little do you know. I'm not in Driftwood, and I certainly have interest in the way the County conducts business.

Ditto, especially since it sets a precedent!

Well everyone is entitled to an opinion. but if this was an issue the people other than Driftwood Residents would be pounding on the Commission.

Circus is back.

Circus is back.

the commission never left.....:roll:

sometimes Commissioner Brannon did:floor:

I concur with SJ. If you think people aren't interested in this situation, I feel you have no inkling of what local government is all about or how it should be conducted, which is for the overall good of the citizenry. Its no circus! It is how you and I live and are treated by our local government, which in our case, happens to be the BCC. My suggestion to you is attend the BCC meeting if you do not. If you do attend, listen to what is going on. It is amazing what you can learn.

Your "opinion" is narrow. This evolving story is not only about the rights' of Driftwood homeowners, but it has also grown into an issue of how our BCC listens, reacts and utilmately governs for the people of this county. The taxpayers of this area should have a voice, especially when that voice on an issue is founded in research and evidence of facts. More and more folks are taking notice of this story and it is largely due to the county's very limited support/action in support of their constituents. I hope the BCC will finally do what is right today.

What is your definition of right? Some, including many of the sitting commissioners already feel that they are doing what is right. Since we live within a Republic form of government, and seeing the way that the recent election came about, I think you good make a very strong argument that the BCC is heading in the right direction.

Robert, How timely a comment. When you read about the minutes from tonight's BCC meeting you'll have to open up a little wider. Tonights meeting proves that citizens can stand up and demand that people be held accountable, even big development. That being said, I hope we can keep the good developers we have to help strengthen our economy. I hope driftwood turns out to be a lesson on how to do the right thing. Doing the right thing in the first place is always easier.

How did it go? I had to leave for a SWHS meeting- double meeting night. I really wanted to stay for the Driftwood part!

It appears that Alan was victorious in his perseverance. This says a whole lot for Pit Bulls, even those that do not wear lipstick.

:clap:Bravo for you Alan!

Point Washington had their say tonight...don't know how victorious exactly, but it is a start. Similar issue with the BCC.....back up the citizens when a mistake is made and make it right. Now it is time to make the planning and zoning responsible for their mistakes and help them get back on track and adhere to the Land Development Code.

Where is that shovel?

Hey SmilingJoe, can you lend that shovel to Robert, tell him there is plenty of room in that hole with InterestedGirl.😀

I'm proud of you Alan.......keep up the fight! I was there tonight and spoke with you at the SOE office before the meeting. :clap::clap::clap:

Well it seems that the Sun gets it wrong again. The suit issue is on the agenda two weeks from now. The Board voted to proceed and join in the suit after it is reviewed by their attorney abd he recommends the suit would be in the counties best interest.

Put the cork back in the bottle for afew weeks. Alot can happen in two weeks.:floor:

All they actually did tonight was send a legal fee bill.

Yep - Alan I was there.

Thanks for mentioning me tonight.

I don't mind loaning out my shovels, but I may need them back, so people must promise to return them.

And I just sit here still wondering what Alan is talking about. Maybe we changed the form of government when I was not looking. Interested girl, I must now assume that what you are saying is correct as it is what a commissioner told me happened.

Read your own words

"The board voted to proceed and join in the suit" I was the one who offered to let them modify parts of the suit to be "In the county's best intrest"
As for the legal fee bill, that was enforcement of an agreement with the county that I presented 4 years ago and should have been enforced years ago. I think the sun got it right. Sorry you and robert don't get it. No big surprise there, you two don't have a understanding of the issue and I don't care if you do. Wake up people and enjoy the right thing happening.
