County sued for $3 Million+

[ShallowsNole]

District 5 doesn't represent anything north of the bay, so I don't know why Cindy would have been pushing for it. The proposed condo is in Brannon's district, if I'm not mistaken.

The prevailing fear among the public about this project is that, if this goes through, there will be more to come in the future and soon the north shore of Choctawhatchee Bay will be littered with them. Meanwhile, those who have lived on and near the Bay all of their lives will be squeezed out. Gee, there's something about that scenario that sounds familiar! :roll:

 

[Matt J]

I seriously doubt this project would happen today if the decision were reversed. I wouldn't sweat any development on the north side of the bay any time soon.

I could have sworn that it was Meadows or Comander that was pushing for the height restriction. I don't remember a single news report stating that Brannon had anything to do with it.

Oh my mistake. I forgot that if it is not in a news report, it must not be so.

Doesn't that smack of hypocracy? I don't care whether I like the project or not, if there was no height restriction before application they shouldn't change the rules later.

AAbsolute - you are absolutely right, if you don't agree on this forum with what's being said you are "Attacked". Adios!

attacked? where were you attacked?

It definitely wasn't Meadows, as she is against height limitations. (no, I didn't mistype that.)

So if you begin to build a house, such as the Hilton house in Seagrove, ten years ago, should you be exempt from any building codes which came into place since that time period, even though the building isn't complete?

Yes, if that's what the law on the matter says.

Right now the law says the permit date governs the code the permitter is building to. Have you heard the term grandfathering? It's tied to fairness doctrines, dual process and the Florida Constitution.

 

[Smiling JOe]

I have heard of grandfathering. That is how we ended up with the two high-rise structures standing out in Seagrove, one of which is visible from the 331 bridge.

SmilingJoe, I think your sig line speaks to my point best.
