BMB that is exactly the point I was trying to make and now you are talking about the real issue. All the posts on this board have been speculation. Most of the posts are not accurate, they are fun to read especially Edroe it's like a Tom Clancy book, it's just not the facts. I only know a few but enough to know that people are using these lies to try and push Redfish people back to the east. The point though is that whether they are on our side or your side (east v west) it's going to affect one of us. I don't want any more traffic on the beach but once Walton County let's these developers build condos up and down 30A to the north, it is a crazy afterthought to think now we can keep them off of "our" beach. I know they are not going to stand single file on the strip of these four beach accesses.
Kevin....You're right; cannot argue against your points.
It's not just the east or west that will suffer if the county let's this atrocity be installed; it's the whole area. Look at the property available to developers to the North of Blue Mountain Rd. It's huge! Developers will fall all over themselves if these private gateways are approved. As I said earlier, there's nothing positive to come from this issue except for Redfish Village developers. All owners that stay, and all that come after the developers leave, will loose a wonderful beach "experience" because of the county's apparent permitting process. This must stop and the only way it will is if the community, both east and west, fight this permitting process. It is not going to be an easy task, but it is one that is worth the effort if we care about this very special area. High density projects just do damage to a beach!
Redfish Village developers are keen to say "we're sensitive to the community"; oh yeah, give me a break...just find a property owner on Blue Mountain Road that wants this project anywhere on the road. If they are so sensitive to our needs, then they need to pack up and leave because they are not wanted in any neighborhood that I'm aware of. Sensitive to our community, my _ _ _ (fill in the blank)!!!
