Jones proposed Dune Crest townhouses on 2.5 acres near Blue Mountain Beach, three 12 unit blocks totaling 36, with septic approval and a drainage plan authorized by the county engineer. Gary Towne sought to add 14 lots to Santa Rosa Ridge north of SR 30A, between Gulf Cemetery and government lots, with septic tanks and guidance to apply for water permits now.

Wetlands Law Shapes Walton County Growth Decisions
Walton County officials discuss a wetlands bill with planner Pat Blackshear noting its uncertain impact on local planning. The debate centers on whether the measure will curtail local authorities’ control over wetland development while the DEA remains a strong factor in growth decisions. Sam Bruner represented Luke Evans for Inlet Sands, an 18 unit three story project near Lakeshore and Park Drive with septic service and outdoor pool, raising concerns about backing out of a parking lot onto casements. The committee also rejected J J Quinn’s Camp Creek lot project due to size questions.
