I attended the South Walton Planning Commission?s meeting this evening with 77 letters in hand from concerned residents about the proposed restaurant, 723 Whisky Bravo" which is set to replace the Wheel House. The residents asked the board to address additional parking issues for the site and traffic flow. Specifically, many Seagrove homeowners do not want the restaurant exiting its traffic through Old Seagrove onto Grove Street and Gardenia St. I presented 20 pages of photos of the narrow roadways, made suggestions and presented objections to basically be ignored and shown that they don?t care what we think. My final statement to the board was to request the project be denied until they meet with surrounding neighbors and county planning staff to come up with a plan which not only worked for the developers but also for the neighbors. Well, they approved the plan because it meets the minimum county requirements and ignored any requests from the residents. I guess we have a battle on our hands. I'm asking for your help. The next meeting will be the county commissioners meeting. Please send me a letter via E-mail objecting to the development as it stands until they can come up with a plan that not only satisfies their needs but also addresses the neighbors? issues of parking and traffic flow.

Thanks for the help. I want to have 500 letters when I address the county commissioners.
