Homebuilders enjoy strong growth, but face shortage of lots BY will isern

Homebuilders in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties have enjoyed strong growth and are eager to start on new projects, but face a shortage of available lots, regulatory hurdles and the uncertainty of a fast-approaching election. Homebuyers looking to downsize want nicer amenities, and those looking to build larger homes want to do so in upscale communities that are quickly reaching capacity. Economists, meanwhile, foresee sustainable growth based on low unemployment and rising wages. The demand for new homes, they say, will at least keep pace and could outstrip the supply in coming years Such is the landscape of the local housing economy halfway through 2019, based upon interviews with local homebuilders, economists and the Homebuilder’s Association of West Florida. It doesn’t take an economist to see that northwest Florida’s housing market has been growing steadily for years. New homes and subdivisions have sprung up left and right, especially in Beulah near the Navy Federal Credit Union campus and in desirable areas of Santa Rosa County. Rick Faciane of Classic Homes builds custom and semi-custom homes for affluent buyers in and around Pensacola and said his buyers generally fall in to two categories. “Pretty much our market is either people moving up or moving down, and

that sounds contradictory but its really not,” Faciane said. “People in their retirement years are moving out of homes up north or in California and are moving into Florida-style living. So they’ll move into the low 3,000 (square footage) range, and a lot of them are even getting into the 2,500 to 3,000 range. They still have nice amenities, but not the size. Young people in the range of 40s and early 50s may be going up in square footage and size. They’re still in the area where they may be raising families and it’s not unusual for us to build a 4,000 square foot house for someone in their mid to late 40s wanting to move into a more affluent neighborhood.” Alton Lister of Lister Builders said the focus for many has shifted to quality of space over quantity. Gone are the days, he said, of cookie-cutter castles. “The McMansion trend has slowed down, I think we may have left that era,” Lister said. “People are putting more quality in less square footage.” Blaine Flynn, founder and owner of Flynnbuilt, built more than 100 homes last year from Baldwin County, Alabama to Okaloosa County and said the homes that sell fastest are those that are the most affordable. “Our average sales price is dropping,” said Flynn “Which is telling me people are looking for more affordability right now. We’re not having to lower our price to move (houses) we’re just not spec’ing them out with every possible amenity.

Those aren’t the kinds of houses that are moving.” As the local market has surged to life since the Great Recession, national and regional homebuilders like D.R. Horton and Adams Homes have taken notice and staked out considerable interests, capturing many of the area’s buildable lots. Many builders expressed concern that the area’s inventory of lots is running low. “The big dogs are in town and we’re getting more and more of them,” Flynn said. “Developers are moving in and they want to sell whole subdivisions versus smaller lots.” According to an inventory by MarketGraphic Research Group, the inventory of developed lots from Baldwin to Gulf counties has dropped by nearly half since 2009. In areas like Gulf Breeze, Navarre and Beulah, a quality lot can be hard to come by, the builders said. “The problem is the lot,” Faciane said. “It’s not that we can’t provide the house, we can’t find the lot where we want to put that house. We have a real need for quality subdivisions. (Homebuyers) have got to put something somewhere where they know they’re not going to be upside down in appraisal values.” Developing new lots is not easy, especially in Escambia County, builders said. Regulations introduced in the last five years, they said, have made the development process take as much as two years before a site is ready for building.

David Peaden, Executive Director of the Homebuilders Association, said developers always have always had to deal with government regulation, but that some rules are over the top. The HBA helps developers navigate the to advocate the regulatory red tape and advocates for developerfriendly regulation. “There’s always something in the construction industry that is volatile,” Peaden said. “It could be pressures on material prices that spike at certain times of year, it could be a natural disaster that hits and causes people to change what they were planning to do. And there’s always the regulation side. We’ve been fortunate on two out of three. “The volatility of lumber prices, we can’t control that, but on the government side in both counties we have growth related challenges,” he confirmed. A lot of regulations are over the top, cost more money and make it to where people can’t afford a home. What we’re seeing now in both counties and in Santa Rosa County in particular is a shortage of lot availability. It drives up the cost of land which drives up the cost of housing.” The shortage is, in part, a symptom of a decade of robust growth. The U.S. economy crossed into its longest-ever expansionary period in July, leading some to wonder if the next slowdown may be around the corner. Economist Dr. Rick Harper, however, said all signs point to smooth sailing for at least the rest of the year.

WE’RE SOCIAL

“I think that the market is well positioned to grow over the next year, and while it will not be exuberant growth it should be sustainable growth,” Harper said. “We’ve got good job growth, we’ve got low unemployment, wages are rising at above the rate of inflation and we’ve got the Fed keeping interest rates low. We don’t expect more increases in 2019, so if you look at interest rates in relation to a month or two ago, the 30-year mortgage rate has fallen. That makes housing more affordable. It should enable good performance to continue.” Despite the good times, developers still remember the sting of the Great Recession. With the 2020 election looming, Faciane said some developers might await election results before pushing ahead with new projects. “Development is not cheap,” Faciane said. “You don’t want to risk putting everything you’ve ever saved into a project just to have the economy turn upside down. In the next 24 months, I think it’s going to be wait and see.” Flynn, however, said so long as the numbers support it, he’s forging ahead. “Election years are always weird because of the uncertainty,” Flynn said. “But I’m going to look at our numbers going into the last quarter of this year, and so far we’re ahead of schedule and it looks like we’re on pace for another 20 to 30 percent growth, so I’m not backing off. I’m not a gloom and doom guy. I’m not changing anything.”

Next Steps Identified in Preservation of Historic Tower 234 The National Park Service announces next steps in the preservation of the historic Tower 234 at the Fort Pickens Area. The tower was built in 1943 along with Battery 234 to direct the firing of the guns placed on the battery. It was once one of many located on the Santa Rosa Island and Perdido Key. The tower, constructed of steel, supports a two-story concrete observation booth weighing over 113,000 pounds is in critical need of preservation. A 2018 inspection found the structural integrity of the tower to be questionable forcing the park to close the area around the tower. The inspection was an early step in efforts by the park to restore and reopen the tower to the public. Following a careful review by outside engineering experts, the National Park Service has identified the next steps which will need to be completed in order to reopen the Battery Cooper Loop Road: Document the tower based on the guidelines of the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), this work will include 3D laser scanning of the structure. Temporarily remove the concrete observation booth from the tower. Removing this booth will significantly lessen the chances of the tower

collapsing. Both steps are currently in process, but will likely take several months to complete. It is critical for visitor safety that they remain out of the closed area. “Tower 234 and the batteries surrounding it are important historic of the Fort Pickens Area,” said Superintendent Dan Brown. “Safety of our visitors is our top priority, and we believe these steps will keep our visitors safe and allow us to preserve the tower in the most appropriate way.” Created in 1971, the national seashore stretches 160 miles along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico in Florida and Mississippi, and includes barrier islands, maritime forests, historic forts, bayous, and marine habitat. Visit us at www.nps.gov/ guis, on Facebook www.Facebook. com/GulfIslandsNPS, Twitter www. Twitter.com/GulfIslandsNPS, and Instagram www.Instagram.com/GulfIslandsNPS. More than 20,000 National Park Service employees care for America’s 419 national parks and work with communities across the nation to help preserve local history and create close-to-home recreational opportunities.

DESANTIS SIGNS CONTROVERSIAL PETITION BILL Jim SAUNDERS News Service of Florida

TALLAHASSEE – Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday signed 38 bills, including a controversial measure that will make it harder for groups and citizens to put proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot. Lawmakers passed the measure (HB 5) amid petition drives designed to place a series of issues on the November 2020 ballot, including proposed amendments to increase the minimum wage, expand Medicaid, overhaul the electric-utility industry, ban assault-style weapons and revamp primary elections. The bill places new restrictions on the petition-gathering process, which plays a critical role in getting initiatives on the ballot. For the November 2020 election, as an example, supporters of amendments need to submit 766,200 valid petition signa-

tures to reach the ballot. Among other things, the bill makes it illegal to pay petition gatherers based on the number of petitions they collect, a change that is expected to drive up costs for amendments backers. Also, the bill requires submission of information about petition gatherers, including their permanent and temporary addresses and dates of birth. In addition, it requires petitions to be turned into county supervisors of elections no more than 30 days after being signed by voters and includes

penalties of up to $50 for each late submission. The prohibition on paid petition-gatherers takes effect immediately, while other petition-related changes in the bill will take effect in 30 days, according to a House analysis. The changes apply to amendments proposed for the 2020 ballot, though they do not affect signatures already gathered. Supporters of the bill have said it is needed to combat fraud and efforts by out-ofstate interests to use the initiative process to change the

Florida Constitution. “Thank you to the Florida Legislature for protecting Florida’s Constitution from out-of-state special interests and returning the process back to Florida citizens,” the Florida Chamber of Commerce tweeted after the measure was approved last month. But critics argued the Legislature was trying to block citizens from amending the Constitution. “It weakens the people’s inherent rights to amend organic law in the Constitution. That’s a fundamental constitutional right that the Legislature is essentially eviscerating,” lawyer Glenn Burhans, who chairs a political committee backing an initiative that would change the primary-election system, told The News Service of Florida recently. The bill with the petitiongathering changes was the highest-profile measure that DeSantis signed Friday. Others included: • HB 49, which is aimed at

making sure women prison inmates have access to feminine products such as tampons and sanitary napkins. • HB 375, which will exempt hospice doctors from being required to check a state database before prescribing controlled substances to patients. • HB 525, which renames Florida Keys Community College and North Florida Community College to The College of Florida Keys and North Florida College. • HB 563, which will help domestic-violence victims receive unemployment compensation if they leave jobs because of the circumstances of the violence. • HB 5011, which will add one circuit judge in the 9th Judicial Circuit, one circuit judge in the 12th Judicial Circuit, one Flagler County judge and one Citrus County judge. The 9th Circuit is made up of Orange and Osceola counties, while the 12th Circuit is made up of DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota counties.

DEMOCRATS DEBATE REGISTRATION, PRIMARY CHANGES ANA CEBALLOS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA ORLANDO – The Florida Democratic Party’s biggest event of the year wrapped up this weekend with a debate over whether the party should push for semi-open primaries and Election Day voter registration as soon as 2020. The issues were considered as Democrats plot ways to win the nation’s largest battleground state in next year’s presidential election and focus on registering voters and fixing mistakes made in 2018. However, only one of the proposals was backed by the party’s executive committee, which endorsed a resolution that would allow Floridians to register to vote and cast ballots on Election Day. That resolution would require the Republican-controlled Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis to approve changes to state election laws. “It is unrealistic to expect this Republican Legislature to pass such a progressive initiative,” said former Miami-Dade County Democratic Party Chairman Juan Cuba, who has recently voiced concerns with current party leadership. Even those who supported the resolution saw it as more of a symbolic effort to increase voter participation in next year’s elections, rather than a do-able plan. “I think this is more a statement of principle,” said Sen. Gary Farmer, a

Fort Lauderdale Democrat who added he does not see Republican lawmakers passing such a bill. “The only thing we can control on our own is the primary process.” High-profile Democratic figures and some party activists are seeking to revamp how primaries work in Florida, the nation’s largest swing state. They want to allow non-party affiliated voters to cast ballots in Democratic primaries. The proposal, pushed by Miami-Dade Democrats, did not receive the necessary support to pass Sunday as the state party ended its annual Leadership Blue weekend gathering. “I think the vast majority of the room was opposed based on the standing ovation given by the public,” Farmer said. “The Rules Committee will do a deeper dive.” Support is building for the proposal, however. Former Congresswoman and 2018 gubernatorial candidate Gwen Graham tweeted Monday that non-party affiliated voters “should be able to vote in Florida’s primaries in all 67 counties.” Sen. Annette Taddeo, D-Miami, also backs the idea. “As a proud Democrats, Ds will end up with stronger general election candidates and more wins when it matters – in November,” Graham tweeted. Steve Simeonidis, chairman of the Miami-Dade Democrats, wanted the state party to change its rules to allow

non-party affiliated registered voters to cast ballots in all Democratic primaries, including the presidential primary scheduled for March 17. If the resolution would have been approved, Simeonidis said, the first step would have been to inform the Florida secretary of state about the change. “They would likely not permit it, as it’s counter to Florida statute,” he said. “We would sue, and win based on clear precedent from the United States Supreme Court in Tashjian v. Republican Party.” In that 1986 case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Connecticut Republicans, who alleged a state law mandating only registered party members could participate in primary elections violated the party’s rights as guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. The court ruled 5-4 in favor of Republicans, finding that Connecticut law infringed on those rights. Cuba said he supports a semi-open primary in Florida because it could enfranchise three million voters, which includes hundreds of thousands of black and Hispanic voters. But Matthew Isbell, a veteran Democratic consultant, argued allowing non-party affiliated voters to cast ballots in the primary could dilute the black vote, because fewer black voters are NPAs. “The large majority of these (nonaffiliated) voters agree with us on pol-

icy, but they have lost hope in our broken political system,” Cuba said. “We shouldn’t punish them for that. We need to meet them where they are.” Isbell said a red flag in the MiamiDade party’s proposal was a reference to California’s primary system. California’s “jungle primary” allows the top two candidates with the most votes to face off in the general election, regardless of party. “This can lead to two folks from the same party advancing, which may sound good in a safe seat, but can also happen in a swing area or statewide depending how many candidates run,” Isbell said. Isbell added that he would be in favor of allowing non-party affiliated voters to have a say in primary elections but made clear he is against letting members of parties help pick nominees for their opponents. “This can lead to shenanigans,” he said. “They shouldn’t be referencing California because depending on the context, we are talking a different system. That’s a great way to lead to confusion.” For Farmer, his opposition came down to the “fundamental” idea that Democrats should nominate their nominee and Republicans should nominate theirs, rather than let outsiders chime in. “Consider the word primary, it is party-based,” he said. “We have parties for a reason.”

HELP COULD FLOW FASTER TO TIMBER INDUSTRY Jim TURNER News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE – Northwest Florida’s hurricaneravaged timber industry may benefit from lessons learned in the sluggish distribution of federal money to citrus growers after Hurricane Irma. But it will still take some time before money reaches Panhandle timber growers from the $19.1 billion national disaster-relief package signed Thursday by President Donald Trump. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, appearing Friday with Gov. Ron DeSantis at a roundtable discussion in the governor’s mansion, said it should take “weeks, not months,” to fully roll out operations to assist Florida’s timber industry, which sustained an estimated $1.3 billion in losses from October’s Hurricane Michael.

Perdue said his agency must first get the application paperwork and process in order. “We don’t want a bureaucratic hurdle about that, but we want to do things smartly, but honestly and with integrity,” Perdue said. “Like all of us, when there is free money on the table, everybody dives for it, so we have to make sure we have the right people at the table.” Perdue said the timber assistance should emulate a $340 million block grant created for Florida citrus growers as part of a separate federal disaster package approved in February 2018. Florida citrus growers incurred more than $761 million in losses from Hurricane Irma in September 2017. But it took months before applications were accepted from citrus growers for the block grant funds, and just $3 million had been distributed as 2019 began.

After DeSantis took office in January, the application process was accelerated. Jared Moskowitz, DeSantis’ emergency management director, said that $72 million has reached the citrus groves as of Friday. The latest federal disaster-relief package includes $4.5 billion for agriculturerelated losses nationwide. Florida anticipates getting $480 million for forest restoration. State Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said the quicker the reforestation is underway “will save not only the area, but the economy and the environment.” Alan Shelby, executive vice president of the Florida Forestry Association, estimated that 16,000 landowners in the state were impacted by the Oct. 10 storm. Perdue said a challenge for the federal government is that timber, which takes decades to grow, isn’t like

more seasonal crops. “There’s going to be a lot of discovery that has to take place, regarding what the degree of damage was, (and) quantify that,” Perdue said. “That will take a lot of people, and we look forward with working with the state folks, as well, in getting that done.” The state has spent $1.8 billion assisting in the cleanup and recovery from Michael, and Florida officials have waited nearly eight months for the federal disaster package. DeSantis noted that Mexico Beach, which took the brunt of Michael’s landfall, has an operating budget of about $3 million a year. Without outside assistance, it would be left on its own to handle an $80 million debris-cleanup bill. Meanwhile, concerns are growing that much of the 72 million tons of debris left by Michael remains on the

ground, heightening concerns of summer wildfires. Sen. George Gainer, RPanama City, said 80 percent of the marketable timber that families had relied upon as future investments is “rotting, waiting to catch fire.” “We’re still sitting in a very precarious position with all the damage we’re looking at,” Gainer said. Meanwhile, Rep. Jay Trumbull, R-Panama City, said of the 1,200 miles of water in the hurricane-impacted area, about 25 miles have been cleared of debris. The $91.1 billion state budget that lawmakers approved last month for the upcoming fiscal year includes $4.98 million to purchase an aircraft for the Florida Forestry Service. DeSantis had not formally received the budget from the Legislature as of Friday morning, but he said he plans to approve the new aircraft to help fight wildfires.

BOARD SIGNS OFF ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA CHANGES CHRISTINE SEXTON News Service of Florida MIAMI – While some members expressed concern about patients smoking medical marijuana, the Florida Board of Medicine has approved forms for doctors to use in ordering smokable pot. The board Friday agreed to change its medical-marijuana rules so that physicians can certify that the benefits of smoking marijuana for medical use outweigh the risks. It also agreed to change mandatory informed-consent forms that physicians and patients must fill out together. But not all Board of Medicine members were on board with the changes, which came after Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed lawmakers this year to approve a bill allowing smokable medical marijuana. “Obviously, our society is moving in that direction, approving marijuana socially, and perhaps my issue is not so much the use of marijuana but delivering a medication via inhaling products of combustion,” board member Jorge Lopez, a physician from Maitland, told The News Service Florida after the meeting. “No other medication in the United States is delivered like that.” Lopez said authorizing smokable marijuana won’t be a boon for the pot

industry. Instead, he said he did not expect Florida physicians to sign off on smoking marijuana when it can be ingested other ways, and he predicted that it would be a “bust.” Ed Tellechea, the Board of Medicine’s general counsel, said the changes had been fast-tracked because the issue is a priority for the DeSantis administration. “This is kind of a big deal,” Tellechea said. One form that will be filled out by physicians will document that smoking is an appropriate route to administer marijuana for patients. The second is a mandatory informed-consent form. Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2016 that broadly legalized medical marijuana. The Legislature in 2017 passed a law to implement the amendment but included in it a prohibition against smoking medical marijuana. The smoking ban was successfully challenged in circuit court, but then-Gov. Rick Scott’s administration appealed the decision. Shortly after getting elected in November, DeSantis distinguished himself from his predecessor and came out in support of smoking medical marijuana. DeSantis gave lawmakers until March 15 to do away with the smoking ban. If they didn’t, he threatened to drop the state’s legal efforts to defend

the ban. DeSantis signed the legislation lifting the smoking ban March 18. Within days, some pot dispensaries began quickly selling whole flower smokable products. While the Board of Medicine has worked on finalizing the changes, the state Office of Medical Marijuana Use issued a notice advising physicians they can use their existing informedconsent and attestation forms. Before the Board of Medicine approved the new forms, staff members discussed some concerns that the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee had. The committee is an arm of the Legislature that reviews whether rules properly track laws. Committee chief attorney Marjorie Holladay noted that the new documents to be used by doctors interchangeably use the words “cannabis” and “marijuana,” and include references to the vernacular “joint.” Holladay suggested a possible amendment to explain that a joint is a marijuana cigarette, which the Board of Medicine declined. The committee also flagged some concerns with new language regarding children smoking marijuana. When the Legislature passed the bill in March, it limited access to smokable marijuana by children under age

18. Under the law, only children who are terminally ill can have access to smokable marijuana. The mandatory informed-consent form has a specific section about authorizing access to marijuana for terminal children. Holladay also questioned language that was being added to the form regarding cognitive and psychosocial development. The new language notes that cannabis and other substances used during adolescence could cause “relatively greater interference in neural social and academic functioning compared to latest developmental periods.” Holladay asked that the Board of Medicine to explain what comparison is being used in reference to “greater interference.” Rulemaking is often long and laborious, taking months or even years to finish. But changes related to smokable medical marijuana moved quickly. Tellechea told board members that he would contact the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee to let it know the Board of Medicine is moving ahead with the changes because of the “importance that has been put on it by the governor’s office.” But he said that he’d advise the committee that the Board of Medicine would be willing to revisit the rule after it becomes effective to address any concerns.

PETERSON ARREST ADDS WRINKLE TO SHERIFF’S APPEAL TOM URBAN and jim saunders News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE – With a hearing poised to start next week on the fate of suspended Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, one of his attorneys suggested Monday that the case could be affected by the arrest of Scot Peterson, the former resource officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Israel has appealed to the Florida Senate as he fights his ouster by Gov. Ron DeSantis, who alleged that “neglect of duty” and “incompetence” by Israel were connected to the February 2018 mass shooting at the Parkland high school that killed 17 people. The Senate has the authority to reinstate or remove elected officials, and Senate Special Master Dudley Goodlette is scheduled June 18 to be-

gin what could be a multi-day hearing on Israel’s appeal. Goodlette, a former lawmaker, ultimately will make a recommendation to the Senate about whether Israel should be reinstated. During a pre-hearing conference Monday, Benedict Kuehne, one of Israel’s attorneys, contended that information in a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation of Peterson could help Israel’s case. Kuehne said he thinks the hearing can move forward next week, but he urged keeping the case “open” before a final decision is reached. That could allow consideration of information that becomes available in the Peterson criminal case. “We believe that there may be significant information in the FDLE files, that ultimately become the state attorney’s files, that are favorable to Sheriff Israel, particularly with regard to the

allegations in this matter that he was incompetent and neglected his duties,” Kuehne said. But Nicholas Primrose, an attorney for DeSantis, rejected the idea of a connection between Israel’s appeal and the Peterson criminal case. “To suggest that somehow the outcome of what happens with Scot Peterson’s criminal trial has any impact on the Senate’s review of whether Scott Israel neglected his duty or was incompetent, I think … they’re two separate issues,” Primrose said. Peterson, who retired as a deputy after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, was arrested last week on seven counts of neglect of a child, three counts of culpable negligence and one count of perjury. Among other things, Peterson is accused of refusing to investigate when he heard gunshots

on campus and retreating while students and faculty members were shot and killed. During the pre-hearing conference Monday, Kuehne said documents in the Peterson investigation could reveal information about issues such as training that the former deputy received on use-of-force and active-shooter scenarios. He said such information “seems to be inconsistent” with DeSantis’ allegations that Israel was incompetent or negligent in administering the sheriff’s office. Goodlette directed Kuehne to file a brief on the Peterson-related issues by 5 p.m. Tuesday and Primrose to follow with a brief by 5 p.m. Wednesday. But Goodlette also said he planned to start the hearing as scheduled next week, unless the two sides are “directed otherwise.”
