I posed a similar question to this a while back. What is the going rate for 1 acre of swampland in South Walton?

Did anyone see the Daily News today? It looks like there is going to be a discussion of seawalls at the February 14th Commission meeting to discuss seawalls, turtles and permits. I wonder if there will be any love for the turtles on Valentines Day. Also, I've heard rumors that the temporary...

I am sorry if I meant to sound like the sand issue is not a problem because it may well be, the point is this appears to be like we're missing the forest for the trees. In the past storm, how much sand was washed out of the dunes and mixed with the beach? I have heard estimates of more than 40...

Maybe I confused two issues posting about walls in a sand thread but I think they are both related, but more importantly one has a more long term effect- walls. It appears that some of the Commissioners felt that people needed to protect their property with sand, walls whatever because of an...

I guess my question is more related to when will it no longer be allowed by the County and HAVE to be permitted by the state. If they get an extension on the County permit will this be able to continue on and on? If 6 months is right, then the summer will be safe because the state will have...

Does anyone know if the county is going to extend the original temporary wall permits they issued to property owners? Also, how long do they last (I heard 6 months)? I heard that the first ones were approved back in July and should be expiring soon. Also, does anyone know when the last ones...

If individual fireworks at the beach are on the horizon, please pick up all the debris to keep the beaches clean. This is a big problem every July 4th. :nono1:

One quick clarification, all TDC efforts are funded by dollars paid by visitors staying less than 6 months called a bed tax or tourist occupancy tax- NOT County taxes. This goes for all beach restoration efforts, daily beach cleaning, post-hurricane debris removal, sea oat plantings, beach...

It is my understanding the the USACE will allow wetland impacts of up to 10% which would allow for roughly 4300+ sq ft if it was completely wet. I know the state would have some say in the issue also, but if only 10% was impacted and the remaining parcel was put in a conservation easement I...

How much would a 1 acre mostly (if not all) wetland lot in Pt Washington north of Grayton Beach be worth? Could probably be permitted but if not would be good for mitigation.

Although Brad Pickle is helpful on many issues regarding the beach he is only responsible for the County's beach accesses, nourishment, etc. He has no regulatory or enforcement abilities regarding individual actions- those are planning and code enforcement. As Kurt said, Code Enforcement is...

It sure is interesting that scraping is being blasted because of Seaside even though there was nothing scraped there, and Santa Clara is so beautiful and a ton of sand was scraped there. Maybe it not the scraping and it is more complex. Alys beach wasn't scraped either and has peat, not to...
