Nature Walk Beach Club at Seagrove Villas Motel

[Beach Runner]

A judge decides that Walton County Commisson violated its own zoning when it approved replacing Seagrove Villas with the Nature Walk Beach club

Thanks for the info!

Wouldn't it be grayt if someone just restored them to their original state. Keep them retro just like the airstream in seaside. A little retro is what makes so wal so grayt

I agree. But I imagine that the homeowners nearby would rather have single family dwellings there.

Thank goodness we didn't have to go that far to stop the proposed high-density development next to us. After many continuances and going back to the Planning Department, the BCC voted in favor of our neighborhood.

I wonder if they have changed the listing info in the MLS yet.

Yes. Open to members and guests of various St. Joe properties.

Our neighborhood is just starting the process of fighting a developer who wants to put condos, etc in our neighborhood of single family homes. Land he bought is platted for storm water run-off from surrounding area but is trying to get changes made. So far TRC has seemed to agree and is going to the Planning Comm. next. We may need a lawyer. Who rep. people at Seagrove Villas or your neighborhood?

We're drinking Tampagne over this Judge's ability to read and ADHERE to the Law. Thanks to those who helped the Cause! Justice isn't cheap or quick.
Remember those who can't do Teach, those that can't Teach...Govern.
And for our County CommiZars who new what they were doing while still claiming ignorance... Did the Naturewalk/Olsen Check bounce or were you all paid off in Lots?

Both attorneys are named in the Daily News article. George Ralph Miller, a former Walton County attorney, represented Nature Walk. And Gary Vorbeck, also a former Walton County attorney, represented the neighborhood. :shock:
Where is this project you speak of? Hasn't anyone told the developer the condo market isn't so great these days? :roll:

I do remember Scott Brannon saying that the zoning was "unclear" and "vague" and that the vote was unanimous. I read the zoning myself, and a six-year old could have understood that it was means to grandfather in the commercial use for Seagrove Villas, and made it clear that if the existing buildings were torn down that any new construction should either fit the existing footprint or revert to the residential density of the surrounding property.

As to the bold.

This person ran unopposed in the last election. Where was the outrage then?

For full disclosure purposes I would just like to point out that I thought this proposed development was crap from the get go and the commissioner in question probably can't tie his own shoes.

I'll PM you. Ironically Vorbeck represented the developer in our case.
