This parcel is not commercial, and should not become commercial. It's current use is nonconforming, and that's OK ... most everyone's glad it's back operating as it was.

But CHANGING it to full-on commercial zoning is a bad idea, whether it would've been for the completely ill-conceived NatureWalk beach club, or for a larger hotel/restaurant, or for etc etc.

There's not enough area for parking or traffic movement there, and any more-intensive uses there would be completely incompatible with the surrounding properties.

Please help stop this horseshirt.

Email all of the commissioners NOW, and plan to be at this meeting.

Remind them that this parcel is designated Residential Preservation, which in their own document means that it is in an established, platted, built out neighborhood (which it is). It is in the middle of one of the oldest neighborhoods in South Walton county.

Remind them also of the TAXPAYER money which has been wasted defending their LAST rezoning of this property in court, where the county LOST. Tell them to stop wasting your money.

Ask them what has changed that makes this rezoning more legal than the last.

And, "scrivener's error", my sweet Aunt Fanny. The original zoning of this parcel was not an error - the buyer made an error when he listened to whoever told him that this was zoned commercial. Let him go to court to get it changed, instead of the citizens having to go to court to keep it as it is legally zoned.

And ask them how stupid they think we are - do they think we've forgotten that this rezoning was already declared illegal in the last year?

It's the definition of insanity - repeating the same action and expecting a different result.

If I gotta waste more money fight this CRAP again I will but Screw these developers and their payoffs and the Commizars. Corruption runs this Country and it's DISGUSTING.

May I ask what you are talking about?

Is it the bank who is asking for the land-use change?

 

[tsutcli]

Yes, this rezoning was already declared illegal back in Feb. In Feb. a judge ruled against the development company of Nature Walk and our County stating our commissioners should not have approved the beach club because the land was only zoned for residential purposes. It was my understanding that this zoning COULD NOT be changed but we all know our County makes up the rules as it goes along! If they want the zoning changed, unfortunately they will have it changed.

Is it the bank who is asking for the land-use change?

That's another question to include in your email/call to the commissioners.

Why has this been proposed?

Is it the bank who is asking for the land-use change?

Could be wrong but looks like the Lender SPCP Group LLC did not foreclose the Villa property; the foreclosure sale was set aside. Meaning that Seagrove at the Beach LLC (NatureWalk/Olsen et al) still owns the dirt. I do not see where Seagrove at the Beach LLC has filed for BR. However a receiver has been appointed by the court: Seagrove Villas Motel Receiver LLC. I believe that the Lender is requesting the "correction" to the FLUM according to the document submitted by the attorney who requested the hearing.

Interesting how some folks are so up in arms about this, yet are not concerned about Alys Beach trying to change their zoning to allow for over 300 new residential units on their property, which will clearly overwhelm 30-A. Also interesting to note that the ring leaders or the opposition here are also members of the family that owns Alys Beach.
