mike_s:All the land that leads up to that point is part of the Holiday Isle homeowners association. According to what the Mayor of Destin told me last year, the way the homeowners assocication was writtin in the land title, they have more control over the way the land is done than the city does. For example, the homeowners assoc owns all the sidewalks and right of ways in that entire area, not the city.
The homeowners assoc already dislikes the extra traffic generated in that area, so I really doubt they'll agree with an approving majority to allow any changes down there.... (I'm not saying they have the ulimate decision, but they apparantly have a powerfull group of folks with lots of $$$ running things for them).
I was looking at the Okaloosa GIS last night, and it clearly shows that land being owned by the State. I would feel better if I knew that the State and the Corp of Engineers had more of a say than a Homeowners Association. I was also prowling around on the Growth Management site, but they do not post upcoming agendas or proposed changes. I will be calling them today to see if I can find anything out.
