Kelly withdraws rezoning bid at Destin meeting
Around 80 people packed the Destin Planning Commission as Mattie Kelly pulled a request to rezone a Legion Drive Spring Lane corner property from Residential Urban Single to Business Retail. Chair Jane Moore kept order as Kelly said a home for the Mattie M. Kelly Arts Center was the issue and she learned her secretary filed the request while she was abroad. The first project was withdrawn and the second was denied.
