West Destin Beach Project Update

November 30, 2011

Holiday Isle Improvement Association and its Board of Directors has worked very diligently with State, County, and City agencies in trying to get an equitable Beach Renourishment Project for all.  Upon the issuance of the “Intent to Permit” by the DEP in Dec. 2009 there have been numerous delays due to law suits.  The project was revised and the revised “Intent to Permit” was issued Jul. 2010.  It too has met legal opposition.  Since 2009 HIIA has supported that in the best interest of Holiday Isle and to potentially remove all legal hurdles that the 18 property owners along the Gulfside of Holiday Isle be removed from the project.  This span of Beaches is not classified as Critically Eroded and does not need nor do the members want restoration.  Recently both HIIA and the Unified Beach group again appealed to the County and City to support removing the 18 property owners and “let’s get on with the project”.  We feel that considerable progress has been made on this concept and expect that in the coming weeks this will be considered by both the City and County.  If they approve this approach, it is believed that there would be no legal hurdles and the project could be “fast tracked”.  This could allow a project to begin in the next 6 to 12 months.  Otherwise if the legal hurdles remain this project probably would remain at 2 to 3 years out.  We appreciate very much the hard work and dedication of Councilman Larry Hines in this endeavor and the continued support (and patience) of Holiday Isle members.  We will keep you posted as this moves forward.
