There is concern among Point Washington residents regarding a new development proposed to go in less than 100 yards from the Cornerstone Church and Cemetery in Historic Point Washington. The development is slated to be built on roughly 4 acres and the developers intend on going for 8 units per acre as well as building up four stories on all buildings. 29 units hugging a cul de sac are proposed. The Oaks At Eden will more than likely have to clear cut all the old growth oaks on the property leaving only 29, 40 foot tall buildings.

Among the concerned citizens are adjacent homeowners who live in one story homes to the north south of the property as well as numerous residents who believe building heights and densities of that intensity are clearly incompatible with historically established development in Historic Point Washington.

Historic Point Washington is one of the oldest settlements in South Walton County. The residents are concerned that developments of this high density will adversely affect property values as well as the long established rural feel of the community.

The reasonable citizens of Historic Point Washington welcome the Oaks At Eden and hope the development will enhance rather than negatively impact the community. Reasonable citizens hope the Developers will consider lowering the heights and densities to mirror the long established patterns of development in the community.

The Board of County Commissioners will review the development proposal on November 8 at the Walton County Court house in DeFuniak Springs at 4:00 p.m. Residents and property owners of Point Washington should attend if they have similar concerns.

:sosad: That certainly does not sound compatible! Are there no restrictions on clear cutting?

Buildings of more than two stories have no business in downtown PW. Neither does clear cutting. My parents will be across the street rolling in their graves.

Is water/sewer available on 395 now? That used to be the spot of the old school (pre-Bay) in Point Washington, and Bay Elementary got their water from that well for many years. Eventually there were concerns about the well being close to the cemetery :eek: Maybe we can scare them off?

Thanks for the heads up, Dave - my son has basketball that afternoon so I'm afraid I won't make it, but hopefully as many as can will.

Dear Commissioner,
Please count me as a concerned citizen opposed to the height and density of the proposed Oaks At Eden Development. It is completely out of character and incompatible with neighboring residential neighborhoods, and the historical pattern of development in Point Washington.

The Henderson brothers (Hendco Construction) are notorious for building the lowest quality house in Destin. An ugly square box with substandard everything.

Please everyone pitch in for Dave and the rest of the locals and write a letter or e-mail.
