The proposal for the planned TownePlace Suites hotel at 39 Scenic Gulf Drive came in front of the Walton County Technical Review Committee last week, and will be back in front of the same committee on March 17.
The March 17 committee meeting is necessary in connection with a number of questions raised by the county s planning staff and other county government departments with regard to plans for the property.
Among the questions raised in a staff review of the proposal from Banyan Investment Group which operates 26 hotels in 13 states, including Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn and Courtyard by Marriott properties, among others were concerns about a lack of floodplain data, along with concerns about landscaping buffers and the inadequacy of plans originally submitted for the project.
