Seagrove Villas Commercial, again

[MRBS]

Seagrove Villas Oct 13 BCC meeting

Thank you MizNotebook. Where does BCC post its legal notices? In our neck of the backwards woods a public hearing usually precedes a body decision. The decision may be delayed a time or two but eventually it occurs. One previous poster said that a zoning change is not effected by resolution but rather by ordinance. Curious as to what the public hearing is for. Does the "correction" (aghast) of an alleged scrivener's error rise to the level of a zoning change, or is it just "administrative housekeeping"? What is the Peach Creek story referenced prior?

I'm sorry I didn't include this in my previous post but please know that in our crowd we had opinions from people of all ages and from points far and wide who came to see our private quarters at Villa 2 at Seagrove Villas Motel: 86 years of age to 25, from California, Oregon, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia who ALL were smitten with the Villas. Most all opined that they could live in Villa 2 full time. I'm all about the property being enjoyed as-is, or being improved as-is (though our unit required nothing; I felt like we were in a movie set), but being replaced by a fancy fancy: not so much. Did I mention how it melted my heart to walk by another villa's sunporch and see a mother spoon feeding her baby in the warmth of the sunshine one morning? How on Sunday before Labor Day all the grills were fired up at twilight with families preparing a feast? We were so lucky!

Thanks again for a letting us long time fans and appreciative tourists catch a glimpse of your life in SoWal. Special place.

MRBS, maybe someone else can draw from their memory bank and knowledge of quasijudicial proceedings and provide a better response to some of your questions than I seem to be coming up with right now, but I can answer part of what you are asking. The legal notices appear in The DeFuniak Herald/Beach Breeze, a local newspaper. If you live out of the area, it is possible to get a mail subscription or you can view the legal notices on the newspaper Web site, www.defuniakherald.com. One way to go there is by clicking on the newspaper's link on Sowal at the bottom of the new posts on the right hand side of the home page.
On the Peach Creek reference, I do recall that the owner of some property in that area made the argument that there had been a scrivener's error on the county future land use map affecting his land. This was part of an effort to get approval to put an asphalt plant on the property. His request was for a land use change, I believe, and the county commission turned him down. However he later appealed and won in federal court, which led to a reversal of the BCC decision.
I've never had the chance to stay at Seagrove Villas but always admire the view of that property and its uniqueness when I go by. It's great to hear you had such a good time on your recent visit. I think quite a few people in the community and other visitors are fans of the property as well.
