As has happened with many hot button issues facing our community in the past, I have been inundated with emails regarding my motion for a temporary pause on new infill lot building until the city can update its Technical Manual. Unlike the emails I’ve received in the past, this onslaught of email came from the Flagler County Home Builders Association (HBA). In the interest of transparency and clarity, I sent the below response, which I share with the public — not to discourage the HBA from reaching out to me in the future, but to shed light on the reasoning for my very strong stance on this issue and why I know it’s in our community’s best interest.

(Editor's note: The HBA's full response, with additional comments, can be found here.)
