Okaloosa County BOCC — October 16, 2012 — Surf Dweller Stepping Stone Letter

urf Dweller CONDOMINIUM 6 554 Coral Court / Ft. Walton Beach, Florida 32548 Mr. John Hofstad Public Works Director Okaloosa County 1759 S. Ferdon Blvd Crestview, FL 32536 (sent via e-mail) November 1, 2012 Dear Mr. Hofstad, It has come to the attention of the Surf Dweller board of directors that an individual unit owner contacted the Public Works department in order to obtain permission to place stepping stones on the beach to the South of our property line on Okaloosa Island. The Surf Dweller board did not approve or participate in this action, and was unaware when the unit owner contacted your staff for approval. In the past, Surf Dweller has followed proper procedures going through the Okaloosa Island Leaseholder Association, the Board of County Commissioners, and public hearings. Surf Dweller was even denied permission by the Board of County Commissioners to build a knee wall on county property in the same general area as the stepping stones, that would have in effect replaced a wall that had been destroyed years ago. Surf Dweller wants to be a good neighbor, working through proper public notices and procedures. Sincerely, deck Pow Jack Pous President, Surf Dweller Owners Association cc: Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners, and Commissioner Elect Boyles
