I saw some renderings of a Flatiron building on the DPZ webpage, that will be built at Alys Beach for office and retail units. As it looks, it may be pushing the limits of the height restriction.

NO WAY!

I don't think you can. It was a done deal sometime around the beginning of the year. I forgot the actual height, which varies depending on the basis used to measure, but I think it will be around 50'+/-. There were only a handful of us opposed to it at the County Meeting in which it was addressed.phdphay said:NO WAY! How do we fight *that*?

I've heard that the new county commissioners are pro-development, and they will abolish the 50-foot height limit in SoWal. Supposedly there are over 2 dozen projects already drawn up that are waiting to be approved once the code is changed.
Anyone think this will happen or if it's a good idea?
