Those are condos. That is the interesting rub to me. The gentleman is preaching from the condo which probably has dunes in its name, because that is where the dunes once existed. I think to make a better point of the story, they could have found someone to interview who wasn't indirectly connected to the adjacent dunes to the subject property's east, being removed.

condos or houses, our points are the same. there's already development beyond where he's arguing about.
 
Following that logic, they should be allowed to build condo blocks the size of One Seagrove Place all along 30A because there is already one there.

Big difference between a "responsible builder" creating a single family home so that more people can can live in or visit the area and those who build, build, build as much (or more) than allowed with no regard to the environmental impact, limitations of the roads & emergency services, character of the neighborhood etc.

Circled is the dune in question. Yes, the condo to its right is closer to the water. But it was built in 1984 before the land development code existed, so the fact that it's closer to the water is irrelevant. Maybe you need to walk this property like we have to see what the fuss is about. Oh, and BTW, there are 24 units proposed for that location.

that's apparently how our commissioners are leaning, based on current history.

guys/girls, i am not for the development. i guess we need the dripping with irony smilie...

and have no need to walk the property.

Please excuse me for making a false assumption, okay? BTW we walked it because we just wanted to see firsthand what all the fuss was about.

From your photograph, it looks like the dune is almost the entire lot. Are you saying that you walked "on the dune"? :nono1: ;-)

That's nothing compared to what the Caterpillar bulldozer and a crew of illegals are going to do to it soon.

can someone explain to me why any investor/developer is building anything more in SoWal right now? There is so much inventory, so few sales, and it is becoming so overcrowded....

I can see someone building a house to live in or rent...but a condo complex?

Do developers not do market research the way other business people do? :idontno:
