BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: August 19, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Okaloosa Island Covenants B-2 Area Putt-Putt
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: District 2 - Commissiner Parisot
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: To conduct a public hearing to determine whether to allow a "putt-
putt" style mini golf course in the B-2 zone as described in the Okaloosa Island Covenants.
BACKGROUND: The County has received an inquiry from the prospective purchaser of Lots
17, 18, and 19 of Block 2 of the Subdivision of Okaloosa Island (see attached location aerial
photo) who wishes to develop a "putt-putt" style mini golf course and associated concession
area. The subject parcels are in the B-2 (“Apartment, Hotel Court, and Hotel Areas”) area as
described in the Protective Covenants and Restrictions for Okaloosa Island (the Covenants).
As provided in the Covenants, the B-2 area allows:
(1) Duplex residences - apartment
(2) Hotels
(3) Tourists or hotel courts
(4) Apartment housing
and
“Affiliated services built in conjunction with, and within the same plan as (2), (3), and (4) above,
such services being as newsstands, barber shops, beauty shops, dining rooms, drug shop, rental
boat basin, delicatessens, filling stations, variety shops, clothing shops, flower shops and other
shops as may be deemed necessary and proper by Okaloosa County from time to time, to serve
the needs of tourists and vacationists.”
While a putt-putt golf course is not among the enumerated uses and affiliated services, and as
any of the above uses must be built in conjunction with a hotel, tourist/hotel court, or apartment
housing, the Okaloosa Island Leaseholders' Association Architecture Review Committee (OILA
ARC) found the use inconsistent with the Covenants when it considered the proposal during its
meeting of June 26, 2014. However, the OILA ARC also endorsed the proposal as "a good land
use and advantageous to island tourism" (see attached OILA ARC Recommendation), and
recommended that the applicant seek a "variance" to the Covenants from the Board of County
Commissioners (also in the attached OILA ARC Recommendation). It is important to note that
the information presented to the OILA ARC did not include the concession area. Subsequent
communication with the OILA ARC indicates that the concession area would be considered part
of the golf course. A previously discussed game arcade has been withdrawn from the proposal
by the applicant has withdrawn the arcade from the request (see attached email).
Packet Pg. 5
The Covenants do provide the Board of County Commissioners some flexibility in interpreting
and enforcing the covenants. Part G.8. states, in salient part, that:
"Okaloosa County expressly reserves the right to classify and reclassify from time to time areas
for zoning
