In the words of Commissioner Meadow, "this is a trainwreck."
For the record, Jimmy, I've been purple for a few years.

TFT, according to the maps, at that property, the CCCL runs parallel with the beach, located about 135 ft off of the 30A right of way on the west side, and about 151 ft off of 30A right of way on the east side. By looking at the map, it will cut the proposed buildings in half.
No, that was never brought up, nor was the fact that their seawall is on County property along with a small pavilion. What was brought up was the fact that one of the existing buildings currently is positioned partially on County property.
As for the underground parking in the dunes, I should point out that the entire property currently sets on top of dunes.
Folks, take the time to read through SJ's information. Chapter 8 is only 5 pages long and is written very clearly.
As I understand the situation:
1. The 4 lots the beach club will be on are zoned Residential Preservation,
2. The existing use of those lots is currently defined as non-conforming use,
3. It is the desire of the county (according to the Land Development Code (LDC)) to gradually eliminate non-conforming uses,
4. Non-conforming uses cannot be enlarged or improved to the extent that the investment makes them more permanent structures,
5. If 50% of existing structures on non-conforming uses are destroyed by any means they cannot be rebuilt and new structures must be in complete conformance with the LDC,
6. To be in conformance with the LDC and being zoned Residential Preservation, only one residence per lot is allowed.
If I have this right, then my only remaining question is how the heck are the commissioner's jobs defined? Okay, one more question: If this is allowed, what will keep these commissioners from approving huge condo complexes in some of the public parks (or similar areas) if they are allowed to completely ignore the codes?
