There was a public meeting on the plan as a whole and then it was broken down into several sections with a public meeting held and comment taken on each of the sections. Staff was asked to evaluate the plan for various issues (cost, feasibility, etc.) and is bringing back specific recommendations.
Here's a plan:
Stop spending money advertising. EVERYONE knows were here. TDC is wasting money.
Spend the money on other items and get back to a standard of control. Too many people here already. Just look at the Seaside Parking issue from this weekend...

Any updates on proposed beach new parking spaces and sign removals and additions??#feb 2015posting
Parts of the study were approved to be implemented at the Feb. 10 county commission meeting, and on March 10 $1,269,250 in TDC funds was approved for those parking improvements.
Here is part of the Feb. 10 county commission minutes about the improvements that they approved going ahead with:
"February 10,
2015-Regular Meeting 6 Prepared by: Kimberly Wilkins
Mr. Chance Powell,
Preble-Rish, presented the recommendations of the AVCON Parking
Study submitted by the
Engineering Staff, Public Works, and TDC. Mr. Powell briefly discussed the AVCON Parking Needs Assessment Analysis Report, which was accepted by the Board
on October 28, 2014, and stated that the eight sites being recommended for consideration
are: 1. Scenic 30A at C.R. 283 ROW, 2. Blue Mountain Beach, 3. C.R. 393 Eastern
ROW (adjacent to Gulf Place), 4. Fort Panic 30A ROW, 5. Gulfview Heights, 6.
Walton Dunes, 7. Eastern Lake, and 8. Property North of Ed Walline. Mr. Jones
stated that the construction cost estimate for the Property North of Ed Walline
Park (Site 8) does not include the cost of purchasing the property. Mr. Powell
stated that the total construction cost estimate for all eight sites is
approximately S 1.6 million. This cost does not include engineering, design and
permitting.
Commissioner Comander
asked if the construction costs for Site 8 would be decreased if storm water
was installed and the lot not paved. Mr. Powell stated that Site 8 is a
regional beach access point. Discussion ensued on whether or not to pave the
Site 8 area.
Commissioner Meadows
asked if all the individual construction cost estimates included paving. Mr.
Powell stated that the costs included an asphalt type system with a subsurface
drainage facility. Commissioner Meadows asked if it would reduce the cost to
use gravel in some areas and pave other areas. Mr. Powell stated that it could
be considered based upon engineering, survey, and geotechnical information of
the water table, and the County will consider non-paved surfaces for the
parking improvements as per the AVCON recommendations.
Chairman Imfeld asked
Mr. Powell if he had worked with Mr. Bagby on some of the other off-site
parking areas. Mr. Powell stated that other properties are being considered and
that he had spoken with Mr. Brian Kellenberger and Mr. Dave Sell.
Commissioner Jones
asked if golf cart parking had been considered. Mr. Powell stated
that it could be
reviewed and that spaces could be made available.
Commissioner Comander
stated that in the past a parking garage had been discussed to be constructed
near Pompano Joes. Mr. Powell stated that the garage was addressed in AVCON's
report but was not considered by staff due to costs.
Commissioner Meadows
asked that Site 1 be started so that it can be included with the Western Lake
Bridge construction and design. Chairman Imfeld asked what the Board wished to
do with the other sites. Commissioner Meadows stated that Gulfview Heights
needed further review. Mr. Jones suggested letting engineering begin with Site]
and meet with TDC regarding the other sites. Discussion continued on Gulfview
Heights.
Commissioner Meadows
also suggested that Sites 2, 3, 4, and 7 be started and that staff look into
the purchasing of the Site 8 property. She felt that Sites 5 and 6 needed
further review. Motion by Commissioner Meadows, second by Commissioner
Comander, to move forward with the following projects: 1. Scenic 30A at CR. 283
ROW, 2. Blue Mountain Beach,
3. CR. 393 Eastern
ROW, 4. Fort Panic 30A ROW, 7. Eastern Lake, and look into purchasing
8. Property North of
Ed Walline. Discussion ensued regarding the purchase of the Site 8 property.
Commissioner Meadows
questioned the funding source of these projects. Chairman Imfeld stated that
the parking is for the benefit of the tourist and therefore would be funded by
the TDC
Ayes 5, Nays O. lmfeld
Aye, Comander Aye, Chapman Aye, Jones Aye, Meadows Aye. Attorney Mark Davis
stated that a resolution with the Legislative findings approving TDC funding
would be brought back for adoption."
