Now that 331 is getting 4-laned and is poised for extensive growth we should consider scenic corridor guidelines?
This from an email about last night's BCC meeting:
no palm trees hallelujah!
Although I like cabbage palms that are sort of native to big bend area I guess none are native here.
What say you?
This from an email about last night's BCC meeting:
Along 331 the commissioners are looking at future growth. Jones said a report says there will be at least a 25% improvement. The idea is to allow any additional land tax to be used for the corridor. Commissioners agreed to have staff prepare a draft. Jones then began a presentation on proposed design standards for the 331 corridor. He said the standards will only be applied to new or major redevelopment projects, not existing projects. Since the portion south of the bay is already in the scenic corridor, the district will start at the north shore of the bay. Commissioners gave input on the 300 foot corridor, the percentage of displays on the landscaping buffer, the allowance of auto dealerships. Commissioner Comander asked to include a low water need landscaping requirement and no palm trees.
