Bobby,
Lucky? Jolly Bay probably doesn't feel very Lucky. They would maybe agree with you they were Lucky if they would have been told the TRUTH from the county just ONE time in all the meetings they had with the county before the August 1 Technical Review Meeting. From 2004 till the day they were put on the TRC agenda for the August 1 meeting, the county told the taxpayers(applicants) there were no issues with the Jolly Bay project.
Jolly Bay met with county engineers and planners many times and were told in those meeting there was no height problem with the Jolly Bay site. George Newman, Greg Graham, Melissa Ward, Tim Brown and twice in two meetings With Lies LaSeur. Lies LaSeur told the applicant no problem with planning or zoning! so Jolly Bay kept spending time and money with her recommendations. Lies La Seur commented in those meeting that this was a great plan and she hadn't seen one come through planning as nice as this in a while. They staff report that was prepared for the August 1 2007 TRC states no compatibility study required, no height restrictions for this site, no neighborhood meeting needed, no mention of some book they would later find that says 8 stories is rural and 12 stories is urban.
Jolly Bay probably feels pretty UNLUCKY that they had to deal with a planning dept. that completely flip flopped on their own set of rules. How can us taxpayers use our government effectively when you have a planning department operating like this?
In the years this project was going thru planning where was Pat Blackshire? Lies LaSeur never said a word to her? Pat Blackshire never put out a memo for someone to tell the taxpayers (applicants) she had a problem.
You should probably feel UNLUCKY if you have to do business with Walton Co. Planning Dept.
Just a heads up that you're not completely anonymous. If LaSeur wanted to sue for liable/slander she can get a court order to reveal your IP address, e-mail address, and any other pertinent information to find out who you are.
