County sued for $3 Million+

[Dragnet]

I am not setting up a false premise. Statements on this thread were made about the County not raising so much as a sticky-note of caution, yet the developers were told that height would be an issue, and according to testimony by the developers and the Planning Staff, the developers lowered the original proposed height because of the potential problem of height, flagged by Planning Staff.

PLEASE !!! Show us all ONE reference in the Walton County Planning Department report submitted to the Technical Review Committee Aug. 1 2007 to back up your ridiculous claim??? The applicants worked with the Walton County Panning Dept. 2 years to get this project in front of the Technical Review Committee, the report they produced and sumitted to the TRC didn't say anything like your saying? PLEASE so show US ALL where in their report to Technical Review Committee they say what your saying? It's all in public record. Should be easy for you to back up your claim.

You are the one who is saying that it was in some report. What I am telling you is that in the sworn testimony given to the Board of County Commissioners, Planning staff as well as the developer's staff, confirmed that the original proposed height was reduced because Planning staff noted that the height would be an issue.

So, again, how many vertical feet were scaled back, and why? It is in the testimony.

I don't think the County rushed in a height ordinance NOTB because of this project, I think this project made some realize they didn't have a height ordinance NOTB and so they took action to correct it.

This project brought the lack of height ordinance to my attention, but based on my meeting w/ one of commissioners I do not feel height was the reason it didn't pass. Dunno if 'it's a crappy arse project on swampland where they can't afford to buy the concrete to keep it from sinking' is a legal defense, but that was the general opinion I heard from everyone back in the day and I asked a bunch of people. An engineer actually laughed when I asked how you built a building that tall on that kind of land. ;-)

P.S. Can we make a law that legal judgments are the last thing the county pays out in a fiscal year? So, if we are strapped for cash to pay for police, fire, and schools, developers working the system are SOL? :angry:

I finally understand what your saying. Follow everyrule the way we write them in the rule book, and then we will have staff make sure you did it all correct.

We will just change the rules to our liking when we feel like it.

Forget about what we have been telling you, the rules have changed.

That is why the State of Florida has a a little thing called Bert J Harris.

Just for government when they try to do that.

SJ. You do know that my post contained only quotes from you from the end of this Thread and then the beginning of this Thread. It seemed like you were all over the place.

Now you are getting it. Welcome to Walton County!

I do not know why not. That seems to be the way it works in the Florida legislature. After you get a judgment you then have to hire a lobbyist to get a claims bill passed. Unless you are Charlie Crist, then you just have someone write a check.

It is funny how a Height Limit NOB was passed faster than and other thing the county goverment has done in a while. It was not like they did not know about as Mr. Brannon has been talking about one since he was put in office by the builders. Must of not been any one who wonted a highrise helped him.

Seems to be his only talent.
