I keep seeing where there is a meeting on the 14th. Is that the planning commission meeting or the meeting of the county commission?

Planning Commission
:scratch: Now that this info has come to light and he is directing all correspondence to his attorney seems like some good ol" Walton county back scratching is behind all this.
I believe Mr. Davis also has a ton of money. Possibly more than Mr. Odom. And both seem to have a lot of influence with politicians. I understand Odom managed to have a highway moved to accommodate one of his developments. And since Mr. Davis is already deferring to his lawyer, I suspect that he's able to out lawyer his opponents.

I think this is a horrible idea. Worse then the dollar general. As far as density goes, Walton county has already screwed the pouch on that one. IE they approved another hotel to go into the land next to Rosemary Beach and we know how crowded that area already is. Look at the Seacrest beach beach access area that they share with Sunset. No way that can accommodate that much density. Plus Alys Beach has a ton of more growing to go. However at least they are putting in a boutique upscale hotel. A Ramada Inn is on the lower end of the hotel chains and I believe it will negatively impact property values throughout Seagrove. What's next? Walmart? Tattoo parlors? Scooter Rentals? Fast Food? Night Clubs? It just doesn't fit with the current zoning and will bring in more of the spring break crowd that has pulled down the PCB property values, which they are now having to figure out how to clean it up. I know Seaducer said something along the lines of being pro property rights but this infringes/devalues the property rights and values of the property in Seagrove and possibly the entire 30A. If you want to develop your property to the max be my guest but make sure your can account for the water drainage and have a little more class then putting in a Ramada Inn, motel 6, ect. The Chateau works, Ramada Inn doesnt
Are they building a Ramada Inn too? And I thought Butterfly already rented scooters in Seagrove Beach. I also hate what's happened to Seagrove Beach but more building and development is coming and there appears to be no stopping it. That's why I moved away from Seagrove. What we found in Seagrove Beach and 30a more than 20 years ago is gone forever.
Here is a link to the good guy's blog. Looks like some concrete opposition points are being uncovered.

The points being made in the blog are all valid and consistent with proper land use development for the proposed area.
"spirit" of the code doesn't hold much water in the legal process. And the discretion of the county commissioners is what should worry some people. Money usually is a big influence on the discretion of politicians.
