Federal flood insurance deadline hits coastal barrier areas

Developers in Okaloosa and Walton counties face Oct 1 as the cutoff for federal flood insurance on structures within designated coastal barrier regions. FEMA ordered local zoning offices to notify developers, with late construction potentially relying on costlier private coverage. The Moreno Point and Four Mile Village areas are affected, while some pockets near Four Prong Lake and Miramar Beach are excluded.

Barrier Tag Handicaps Destin Land, Appraiser Says

Dudley Cottrell testified that land east of Destin is severely handicapped by Barrier Island System designation. He lowered appraised value from 5,100 to 750 per acre from 1981 to 1983, dropping trust holdings from 22 million to 14.8 million as barriers restrict federal funds and loans.

Sheriff Larry Gilbert urged a minimal space needs for a Destin substation east of Brooks Bridge to house 15 to 20 deputies within five years, including a primary office, desks, an equipment room and a sergeant’s office.

Barron Defends Growth as Coast Expansion Faces Limits

State Senator Dempsey Barron urged against growth restrictions in the Panhandle at a Destin fish fry, saying a coastal plan for Destin and South Walton is unnecessary. He praised Destin fishermen for defeating a saltwater license and pressed for orderly growth with local control. He warned that limiting development could harm transportation, water, and disaster escape needs.
