Back Porch Gets Go Ahead In Destin Zoning Fight
The Destin BOA upheld a $200000 Back Porch renovation permit for Bob Bonezzi, despite attorney James Middleton calling it a rubber stamp and planning to seek a court injunction. Middleton argued parking conflicts with neighboring businesses, while Bonezzi’s attorney said 12 spaces suffice for the added 5,669 square feet and 15 employees would park elsewhere.
