Tourists in SoWal - welcome or not?

[Matt J]

The Freeport high-rise is approved by the Planning Commission, for the first stage, a RV park and store.

No need for an entire WalCo height ordinance push, b/c the restriction was approved, but only after this high rise request was sent through. Dana Mathews (male), attorney for the owners of the property reportedly threatened to file suit against the County if it wasn't passed b/c of height, since the application was turned in prior to the request for approval. The County acted too late, in my opinion, and should have seen it coming long ago, but hey, what do they know? Ever been to Schooner's in PCB? Schooners is a one story bar/restaurant on the beach which was suddenly engulfed by big@ss condos on both sides.

High rise over looking the RV park. Perfect. My dream home. Money or no money, if approved, the project can be sold off to someone else. The owners brag on there efforts to not disturb the wetlands, but they are wetlands, and cannot be disturbed, regardless, without permitting and mitigation.

So there's no time limit on this? A hundred years from now someone can purchase the land and build whatever?

Schooner's is a local dump with horrible food, and for the record the condo next door wasn't exactly an unwanted neighbor. The owner's of Schooner's owned the house directly next door and sold it to the developers of that condo knowing exactly what they would do with the land.

Isn't the height restriction applicable south of the bay only?

I welcome the tourists, (and their financial contributions to our economy) I only ask that if they miss their turn, please just go to the next turn and head back. Dont do the ol' break slam/fly across three lanes trick that I see EVERY day

I can guess which finger you used to point her in the right direction.
