Would you rather the Atlanta elite just keep building 12,000 sq.ft. homes everywhere? They will eventually build their own little paradise for themselves and eliminate all public beach access. Don't believe that will happen? Just go to Ponte Vedra Beach and try to find a public beach access or parking anywhere. Money can buy a beach.
It's not about preserving 30A in a bottle, it's about preserving the character and uniqueness of the area. You can do that and have development, responsible development has always been welcome on 30A.
30A isn't anything like Ponte Vedra Beach, how many state parks are in that area? Did the residents/second home owners actively pursue public parking and beach accesses as we do here? I doubt it.
Wasn't the "Curve" in Scenic 98, that provided for Destiny By The Sea, constructed in one day, Christmas Eve or Christmas day?
I just saw that this morning. I didn't scroll to page two of this discussion board when I posted the petition and I only saw the discussion on page 1. So, I guess it was useful to post it again anyway in case anyone else didn't see it. Anyone can send the link to others invested in the beauty, safety, and uniqueness (and avoidance of chains as much as possible) along 30A.
First, although I signed the petition, we can't object solely based on "it doesn't fit the look or ideology of 30a" . Bottom line it is potentially going to cause flooding problems with a dune lake and a neighborhood that already floods because of their lack of a retention pond and a built up foundation and parking field. That particular area is at the speed reduction zone, so more traffic entering an already slow 30a. These are the reasons that they veto, not because we don't like the look.

I agree, Fairhope is a stunningly beautiful city with a vibrant downtown area, parks, tree lined streets and a thriving art community. There is a water front park and a 1400 ft. public pier with a marina and restaurant. The park has a rose garden and fountain, plus picnic tables, pavilion, duck pond, tree trail, and a large sandy beach and parking. There are also bluff top parks along the bay. In 2007, Fairhope was named the second best small town in the south by Southern Living magazine.
If you look at Google earth, the difference between Fair Hope's Hampton Inn and the one proposed in Seagrove is that the former is surrounded by a commercial area and totally compatibile with that area. Not so for the proposed Seagrove Hampton Inn.
