    Seagrove Village Market Cafe Reopens Nov. 19

    It took me 5 mins to find a missing park and 11 yrs for planning to try and hide it. Everyone is welcome that the site isn't overrun with palm trees either. Not allowable yet made the landscape plan all 35 of them. They purposely overbuilt then insult to injury tried to have TDC purchase parcel...

    Seagrove Village Market Cafe Reopens Nov. 19

    Again you are mistaken, lot 3 less the portion of the hotel that 's on lot 3 is to be a park. All of lot 3 is now gone and the County just purchased the leftover buffer space and will call it a park. Freaking joke too since we paid for what we already we given. It's ok defend these jerkoffs all...

    Seagrove Village Market Cafe Reopens Nov. 19

    I suggest you are wrong not I. Lot 3 was donated as a park in 2006 by the owners, planning and they conspired to build upon a donated public space. It's all right there in the DO.

    New Developments on NOPC for Sandestin

    I got a like kind-exchange to ask the Planning Dept. about real soon on another F'up on their part concerning the loss of an Open Space in Seagrove. Thinking open spaces are buffers and Parks are for cars is my breaking point. Stay tuned for the Bombshell Info that will result.

    Policy on Personal Beach Chairs vs Vendor

    Yep, see the truth above and follow the $$$! Raking in cash and storing their vending on public beaches and no licensing fees? With the amount of head scratching Sh!t that goes on here How do I retain my hair? Nonsense after nonsense, could it ever get to reasonable and legal someday like well...

    Eastern Lake Commercial Development With Expired Development Order - meeting 7/14/16

    expired DO's are standard around here. This is how they do not inform the community properly. This is why one is told to hire a Lawyer to fight illegal developer giveaways because Planning is corrupt. Less than 10 days notice is given to affected neighbors so the chance of stoping anything...

    We have a "first" in the D5 Comission Race!

    Ok, here's a developer give away for Lars... A Seagrove Business was given a Land Use they weren't entitled too(short by 20 acres) and couldn't prove when it happened either. Their architect sits on the zone board of adjustment and waived a 250' buffer for them that even the BCC couldn't waive...

    Walker vs Biker

    The only place I have been hit by a car is on the bike path. I been ridden off the rode a few times by cars and suffice it to say this is a dangerous place for cyclists. People are ignorant of bike laws, cyclists and tourons alike, but drivers here suck for road riders. They just don't like...

    Sorry but giving into a corrupt planning dept isn't in my DNA. The Hartley's are nice people but that besides the point. There plan isn't complaint with the LDC as they are written. But people like Teresa, Dyess, Davis, the planning Board and BOCC don't care about any of that do they? So long as...

    The waiver for a 250' to 20' ft isn't allowable per the codes and the planning director and county attorney have been aware of this since July. The buffer CAN ONLY be waived as part of an adopted neighborhood plan and this isn't one. Yet they still want to slide the waiver through as if this...

    So it's ok for them to insult me. Not returning phone calls, sunshine requests or emails. That's what our taxes are for... They forget whom their employer really is now don't they. I call knowing allowing a variance that isn't valid or has a legal leg in hopes of sliding it through crooked and...

    If it meet the LDC codes then I have no issue with it. But it isn't even close to complying with the codes. As for being all southern nice about this I respectfully decline that option too. These public paid officials aren't working for the public good. Purposely allowing a variance to be...

    Don't think backing off is in my plan though now it should now be in theirs about another 220' back to be exact. And another 100' North due to a bad CDLPZ geometry map. Stuffing nearly 6000' of restaurant between 2 subdivisions and on a CDL tributary isn't in the Publics interest and...

    Seagrove Village Market Cafe Moving

    Planning has approved this per their tech review since July. Yet, they know this variance isn't even grantable? Their Job isn't to stuff this under a rug. It's to work on Our behalf not the developers. They've known this for months probably since Mr. Underwood first fact checked the application...

    This isn't for the good of the community it is for the good of the Hartley's and their pocketbook. They only worked with the community when we retained a Lawyer. Their CDLPZ impact number of 12.68% is a load of crap and will need to revised since they fail to account for all the tributaries...

    Here's an email from the Planning project mgr to his Superior Dir. Dyess and County attorney Mark Davis. I find item 3 of particular interest as they state this project isn't eligible for the RPA 250' buffer being downsized to 20'. Not sure of date they all became aware of this, the date listed...

    Beach Nourishment Program Hits a Major Snag

    Can't let $250Milly of FED money not get passed around in paper bags, it's not their money! Plus, how much more they can skim off when the Big One comes and inevitably washes it all away it a day in a half. Way too much $$$ at stake, no Mob Org. could resist it.

    Grand Jury Report on Walton Planning Department

    Greatest thread ever, so dang informative I wish it'd never end. And no way can I believe that only 1 accounting error has occurred. Bet a whole bunch of these parcels have "Special Tax Rates" and just a little loose change can affect the keyboard strokes. No sane or lawful person catches that...

    Dear 30A Cycling Enthusiasts...........

    Too damn bad you may have to slow or wait to get around me as I ride my Road Bike on 30A or the areas other roads. Truly it isn't our fault the multi use path is abysmal and isn't safe for speeds over 15mph. Not that 30A is a much better option. I've only been hit once, nearly grilled by a...

    The ground has shifted under the TDC

    I'm sure the costs related to prisoners cleaning up the bike path is killing the TDC. It certainly sends a great message to tourists. Why aren't the out year round for maintenance? Guess it's only PC in the off season!

    WCTA Position On Hwy 331 Bridge Referendum

    Why can't we just add 2 cents to gas sold in the County. The money stays local as opposed to going to Tallahassee before maybe it makes it back to us as a toll or tax increase would. FL counties have this option. Seems too simple. Gas users should bear the burden of road and bridge construction...

    Bridge Addition for US HWY 331

    Florida counties have the option to add tax to gas sold within its borders. Easiest way to pay for this bridge for no one. Way better option than to increase sales taxes or a endless toll.

    Bye Bye Brannon

    Heard just hours ago on radio Mr. Brannon will NOT seek reelection in the Fall. WalCo can now breathe a sigh of relief. That's the kind of Change I've Hoped for! I'd bet big dollars he can't name 3 Tupac songs nor his lyrics if pressed. Your True Colors all come shining through says Ms. Lauper!

    Bridge Addition for US HWY 331

    Little known fact but Florida Counties can add a tax to Gas sold within the County. Let drivers and gas users pay for this Bridge for No One. Freaking stealing and waste of money IMO. And simpleton ideas on how to pay for it. Retards run the County. Crooks too. Right Scotti B biggest douche in...

    With an avg of 380,000,000 millions gallons of gas sold in 2010(DOT numbers) at $.18 cents Fed TAX and another $.22 cents on avg per state per gallon. At least $.40 per gallon is taxes for roads and bridges and repairs. This isn't counting diesel, jet or other liquid fuels that are taxed. Say...

    Bridge Addition for US HWY 331

    Where's the $30+ Billion/yr the Feds and States rain in from Gas/Diesel taxes? Add to that property taxes which also are to pay for roads. Simple math reveals plenty of money. 380,000,000/Gals gas a day times .18cents/fed tax times .22cents state avg tax. times 365. About 16.3 Mil/day. Just...

    BP Payment program to end?

    I'm sure it won't be a big announcement or be covered by the Lame Stream Media but this morning CNBC's ticker stated that BP looking to end it's payment program.

    Article: "Drivers do not know the rules of the road".

    As a cyclist and SoWal resident I'll say HWY 98 is a bad choice for a ride. 30A is a little better but still sketchy after 8am. So I try to get out early. I agree with Trout that 283 is a good spot for safe miles. It's sad and scary that a cyclist has to fight for their entitled space on any...

    Bike on path or 30a?

    RO, PM i'll ride with ya. Much safer in pairs. I do 1-3 hr rides and about 100 miles a week. Mtn. Bike also. A few roads N of 98 have far less traffic than 30A for anyone new to the area. Certainly not as pretty of a ride but far safer. Florida ranks 1st, I believe, in car/cyclists fatalities...

    Corrupt Walton County

    Last June an open County Meeting was adjourned when someone asked the BP Rep , for the Record, if he'd been swimming in our beautiful waters, it sure seemed corrupted.
