Walton residents, state rule clash over seaward condo plan
A Walton County dispute centers on a proposed eight to nine unit condo seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. Debbie Athos of the Florida Department of Natural Resources says many resident complaints are outside the department’s authority and fall under county land-use rules, while the association argues dune damage erosion and loss of views. The DNR will recommend to the governor and cabinet, with a decision due by mid December, and there is no Walton County zoning ordinance governing the issue.
