Government limits Paint Colors

[waltondude]

The Walton County BCC has passed the first reading of an ordinance to limit the colors that can be used when painting a building in the scenic corridor. A member of the design review board has said that with the soon to be included 30-A scenic corridor it will just be a matter of time before they start 'cleaning up' 30-A and getting rid of the horrendous colors in that part of the county. He also was very happy that LSU purple will no longer be allowed as a paint color in these areas of Walton County.

I do not live in either of these areas, but am concerned that as these sort of restrictions start to expand how they may one day affect me. Am I missing something here or is the unique character of a beach community in regards to colors and expression now a thing of the past?

What about Gator orange?

So glad they're focusing on the important issues - what colors people are allowed to paint their homes and businesses, instead of minor issues like problems with the hurricane evacuation plans, overdevelopment, corruption, and high taxes.

I have a long list of ways to "clean-up" or make the 30-A corridor more "scenic" and wasting time and money on paint swatches is not on it!!!

How about burying those pretty power lines that run the length of the 30A?

Or cleaning the multi-use path of trash, gravel, and sand to make it easier for everyone to use?

What a waste of time and resources!!!

When did South Walton County become Hilton Head?

Where's the list? I bet my pink isn't on it. I hope it's not all taupe, black and white. I like bright colors, like red, pink, and green.

I understand that you can see the 465 shades of tan at the Walton County Planning Department in south Walton.

waltondude, you're joking right? i can only hope so. i've heard of stepfordlike hoa's controlling certain colors, but the county really has no need to concern itself with paint color.

I thought they had ruled years ago that anything on the "scenic corridor" had to maintain the 3Ts.....(tan,taupe,teal)??????
