Otherwise, any house on highway 98 would be appraised based on commercial value, not residential value. Likewise for acres and acres of St Joe development property. 10/27/2009 8:10 AM CDT on nwfdailynews.com |

He really means "Mr. Reisenwitz: If the County followed your way of thinking we would have no county parks/recreation areas, boat ramps, etc, as all of these properties would be sold to provide revenue sources." interesting 10/26/2009 1:27 PM CDT on nwfdailynews.com |

Even your proposal to use this County land as a "swimming beach for residents and tourists" would probably not qualify as "highest and best use" in the eyes of many of our fellow county residents and taxpayers. The Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge has requested use of only about three acres of the approx. total 35 acres, and I doubt very much (by the comments made at the County Commissioners Meeting on Oct 20) that any of this land will be sold to the group, but perhaps a low-cost lease. I believe it may be possible to have multiple uses for these 35 acres of County-owned land, but I am not in favor of any of it being sold to developers to build more condos. There are already plenty of those on Okaloosa Island. 10/26/2009 12:49 PM CDT on nwfdailynews.com |
