I am confused....how does one preserve or maximize views of the gulf when building gulf front property of any kind? Seems the only ones getting the view are the owners/renters of that property. :dunno:

With most beachfront properties I can think of, one can get a glimpse of the Gulf in-between the buildings. That's not possible when driving by WC due to its breadth.

I've clearly lost in this discussion. It's pointless for me to waste any more space on this board on this. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Please don't beat up on me any more.

when driving by the corner of 395/30a, one can see the renderings of the hotel viridian, which shows the roundabout. those of you not fortunate enough to be able to drive by can see it here.

Thanks, John, I was having a hard time visualizing it. 30-A isn't very wide there, but it looks like they're going to make ample use of all that now-empty space on the north-west corner.

Talk about moratorium, though. I hope they take their own sweet time getting this project up and running.

BR you confuse me as well. Sometimes you post about areas along 30-A where the traffic moves too fast and is therefore dangerous for people to cross to get to the beach and then at places where the traffic slows such as Watercolor and it is safe to cross you are unhappy about it. :dunno:

The Department of Community Affairs found four policies not in compliance in the Walton County comprehensive plan.
According to a Jan. 11 letter addressed to Commission Chairman Scott Brannon, the DCA determined that the future land use element, the coastal zone/conservation, housing element policy and the transportation element policies do not meet Florida Statute requirements.
?We?re aware of the issues and trying to address them,? County Administrator Ronnie Bell said.
According to Paul DiGiusippi, regional planning administrator for DCA, the agency is working with the county to identify problems and recommend solutions.
?My suggestion is to work with the Department of Community Affairs on a settlement agreement that will allow modifications to adopted ordinances and bring them in compliance,? Planning Department Director Pat Blackshear said.
A settlement agreement provides cities and counties the opportunity to resolve ?not in compliance amendments,? Blackshear said. However, the Board of County Commissioners must authorize the measure first.
?We want to try to reach a settlement agreement with DCA and make good decisions for the citizens of Walton County,? Bell said.
The Planning Department will make recommendations regarding the comprehensive plan to the Board of County Commissioners at its Feb. 14 meeting at the Walton County Courthouse.
