The Flagler Beach Hotel around 1950. (Florida Memory)
The Flagler Beach City Commission tonight approved a special exception for the siting of a hotel in the heart of town, at South 2nd Street and Old Moody Boulevard, on the acreage previously used as a hotel but for a 48-year interregnum, and its use as a farmer’s market for many years since.
As at the planning board earlier this month, The vote was unanimous. The discussion–what there was of it–took all of eight minutes. There was no discussion among commissioners, no controversy, and aside from one public voice opposed, no dissent, clearing yet another hurdle for the planned hotel.
