What about 331 north Scenic guidelines?

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:

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.

:clap: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?

....and at the end of Hwy.331 check out
The proposed ordinance would require all business owners to have a set number of parking spaces at their sites that are calculated using a formula using square footage and number of employees. It's in the Walton Sun on line ...

Horror, parking requirements based on building size and staffing! Is there no end to government intrusion!

Apparently, no. There is not.
