    low speed vehicles rules?

    My bad! All those Range Rovers, Escalades and Suburbans are much more efficient than a small electric vehicles to run around in. And they're classy! Do forgive my ignorance.

    low speed vehicles rules?

    For that matter, I've been behind a line of traffic on 30a because one of those "serious bikers" was getting ready for the Tour de France. I guess he was too classy to ride on the bike paths. And I saw an older lady riding one of those adult trikes run into a car this summer because she didn't...

    low speed vehicles rules?

    I don't own a golf cart or LSV either but they're a fact of life in a lot of communities and they're "green". But since everybody is opposed to them as well as chain hotels why not add all the things folks don't like to the petition? And no I don't live on 30a but I have a feeling that some...

    low speed vehicles rules?

    Seems to me that if the WCSO ticketed those who violate traffic laws that might solve some problems. Maybe if the rich parents who let their kids loose on these things had to pay stiff fines it might help.

    Summer Kitchen Closing?!

    I'm told that the Summer Kitchen is moving across the street from the Pearl if the property that it and the bicycle shop sits on is sold. I haven't heard whether or not the deal has gone through but I think they want to build some more condos and probably some retail space there.

    low speed vehicles rules?

    I see no problem with the LSVs, and golf cars as long as they have tags and are legal for use on the street. I'm told they've been banned at Rosemary Beach already but they're no more dangerous than some of the people on bicycles who pull out in front of people who drive cars too fast on 30a...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    I take it that Mr. Davis is the owner or part owner of the property? Is this the same Mr. Davis that the state "bought" a million dollar plus piece of property to "protect" Eglin AFB from development and he still owns the property? And the same guy who recently sold the school district property...

    Maybe South Walton could secede from Walton County.

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    My sister signed the petition. She and her husband lived in Seagrove Beach full time for several years and they owned their place for 20 years before selling it last year. I read the Move On.org petition and there isn't much in it that I can see that would stand up in court should the developer...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    I had not heard of the Grayton Grand project until I read post #334 but after a little more reading, it appears that this was proposed by Jay Odom in 2003 and that the courts finally OK'd it at some point. Does anyone know the status of it? I assume it's been in litigation.

    I'll assume that the fight means litigation. Who pays for the lawyers and court costs?

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    It's not necessary to have lots of condos either but they're all over the place and more will be built. But apparently I'm not very good at using the "correct tone" at voicing my opinion. And I did wish all of you who live in the area luck in your crusade.

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    No, I don't actually have a "dog in this fight". But my brother is very interested in buying a condo in the area and has found a couple that he likes in Seagrove Beach. He's interested in one to put on the rental market and for personal use in the off season. I'm sorry that my opinions are so...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    I wonder what the county's attorney thinks? The arguments here seem to be "a hotel doesn't belong in our quaint little community" and remarks like "we're better than the trashy people who stay in cheap motels".

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    I agree that it would have been nice if everything south of the bay had been made into a national park or a state park but it didn't happen and development brings money to the area. The more growth, the more money. Nothing stays the same. When I first went to Destin, it really was a fishing...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    Again, I wish those who live in the Seagrove area luck in putting a stop to the Hampton Inn project. But I doubt that the rampant development of all the property along 30a will come to an end. People want things for Walton County that money buys and expensive property drives higher property...

    I can't help but wonder how many here actually live in Seagrove Beach, on or near 30a.

    Another Hotel Development on 30A At the Old Collaborations Site?

    I was so hoping that it might be a Motel 6 with a McDonalds and a tattoo parlor. We redneckettes need a place to chill.

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    There are a lot of very good people who work hard but for different reasons haven't attained levels of education and find the careers that you mention. I'm reasonably well educated but I know others who have only a high school education and in some cases never finished high school but they...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    I always thought the little motel that they tore down was kind of cute. I always thought I'd like to stay there for the weekend but when it was there my sister had a condo I could use.

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    Just curious, but what would be the grounds for denial if the property is for mixed use? Most of the arguments I've heard focus on increased traffic and "A Hampton Inn isn't classy enough four our community".

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    I'll do my best to answer your question with the way it was worded. No, it doesn't bother me that you care what happens to your neighborhood. I understand that you care and I appreciate that. But it really doesn't matter what I think. I assume that the property in question is zoned for...

    Of course those of us who are trailer trash have no experience staying in a hotel, or a condo.

    Thank you so much for putting me in my place. I'll try not to make assumptions. Of course when flyingseagull told me I had damaged your community, that didn't make the cut as a personal attack did it?

    Thank you so much for the thought Mr. Wells. You're sweet. Do you live on 30a?

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    I would be referring to the people who post here that have all the little green dots under their names. Since they are the most active users they seem to control the dialogue. Also, when someone accuses me of causing damage to something I would expect them to respond to my displeasure at the...

    I'm sure that when you go to New York, you probably book a suite at the Waldorf-Astoria or the Plaza.

    Has anyone considered the possibility that for a one or two night stay, it's more convenient to stay at a hotel rather than a condo?

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    In other words, if you don't like a question directed to you, either don't answer or get someone else to answer it for you. As far as my being an outsider, I lived in Seagrove Beach for a while and my sister and her husband owned a condo there for more than 20 years, where I spent many happy...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    Again, I'll ask you how have I "destroyed" anything? Your use of the word 'YOU' in caps implies that since I don't oppose the proposed project I have caused damaged to your beloved community. You have accused me of something. What have I done to your community? All I've done is post on a...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    By "YOU", how have I done any damage to 30a. I simply have an opinion that is different from you and others here. I don't live on 30a but I live and pay taxes in Walton County.

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    Some people can't afford to stay at the Watercolor Inn or the Pearl and others had rather have a weekend at the coast without the bother of having to rent a condo or house. The bottom line is that all the rich people who have moved down from other places and the rich people from Atlanta...

    I just love the "quaint, old Florida look" of Beachcrest and One Seagrove Place. (Yes I know they were grandfathered in before the 4 story restriction was put in).

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    Not necessarily motels, hotels but some of the dwellings are run down and tacky. I don't know who they belong to. And if you turn off 30a for a block or so there are some really trashy places. If something is run down and tacky what difference does it make if it's a business or not?
  42. M

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    There are already many tacky places on 30a that don't exude quaint charm. A lot more tacky than a well kept Hampton Inn.

    How would all the "classy, upscale" Walton County residents feel if the Sandestin Hilton became one of the Wyndham brands. Isn't that what happened to the Marriott Bay Point Resort? Would there be petitions and an uproar? Some people are downright snooty.

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    I'm sure local business owners will be delighted that this effort is going to fail. I'm sure they have all the business they want, especially the restaurants. If I were the Hilton folks, I'd say FU Walton County.

    Why is the OP titled "Birmingham's" Harris? If out of state people are no longer welcome, a lot of permanent snowbirds better get packing.

    Maybe they can build a Hampton Inn at Inlet Beach and build a 100 unit condo development at Seagrove.

    I have friends and relatives that didn't rent in Seagrove Beach this summer because of crowding and traffic. How could one hotel make it any worse?
