Yes they do. No horse where we are eating tomorrow.

Has anyone noticed that Chateau du Paris has a basketball court?

Yes, I go over there and shoot hoops now and then.... The cement slab for the Chateau du Paris basketball court is as big as one of the entire lots in there. Well, we all know what great basketball players the French are!

Just a couple of other abandoned developments on 30-A: Magnolia - across from Andante, and Chateau du Paris - across from Monterey. Both are eyesores and the developers should be fined - especially Chateau.

What' the deal with Magnolia? What type of development was it? Has it really been abandoned?

The property just received a one year extension on the Development Order, yet no work has been done, and the property is actively listed for sale.

Interesting...I did know the county was able to grant DO extensions? How big of a campaign contribution do you have to give to get one of those?

SJ, its my understanding that the developer of Chateau du Paris has a suit against the county and local property owners regarding the construction of the block fence. Neighbors have told me that he tied into the sewer wrong and has the block fence on the neighboring property. It's my understanding that the developer is from Atlanta!!! I have heard he is sueing the county for discrimination! Guess he is not use to dealing with the complex coding system of Walton County.

Sorry, but Walton County should counter sue the owner of Chateau du Paris for total lack of taste, disregard of 30 A aesthetic standards, and no imagination. I mean c'mon.

The BCC will typically extend any D.O. for a one year period with much thought. Beyond that, and they may ask a question or two before extending it.

I am confused by your statement that the developer of Chat. de Paris is suing the neighbors and the County. It seems like if the developer built the block fence on the neighboring property, the suit would be against the developer.

Make as large as you can afford then let us know how it works out.

If this is the one across from Andante then it is 30A's first "fractional ownership" (see timeshare) condo.
