This chapel has been demolished for a highrise--
land that has been used by the church for 111 years.
It was all about MONEY
Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to politicians doing whatever the heck they want to do to achieve their desired end. Earlier in the year, the West Palm Beach City Commission voted 5-0 to allow a developer to build 295,000-square-foot, 70-to-74 unit luxury high-rise on Flagler Drive.
A political action committee, Citizens for Thoughtful Growth, was formed to protect the quality of life for West Palm Beach citizens and businesses by advocating controlled growth and preservation of an appropriate Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan. They sued the City contending that the West Palm Beach commission bypasssed the Planning and Zoning Board in order to give the developer a waiver on the 3.21 acre property. Waivers are given out like M&M's by politicians.
An Appellate Court just ruled in favor of the citizens by saying, "It was illegal for the City Commission to bypass the Planning & Zoning Board."
It sure is getting old to constantly fight corrupt decisions made by politicians who should be looking at the greater good and working within the rules--just an example of why we need to throw the bums out.

Shanon Materio - sure is easier to connect the dots about her now. And no,she is NOT a wonderful person. She is a sneak promoting her own agenda. She has no plans ,nor did she ever have any plans to do what the people of West Palm Beach need to be done to protect their quality of life.The best word to describe Shanon would have to be "QUESTIONABLE "
The same goes for her, her husband, and their business here in the City of Lake Worth too.

I hate them too. Same with Clemens, how do these people do it? I've been a mediocre if not average worker and what do I get, I deserve more. It's not fair!
LOL, God, people, it's X'mas. Lighten up.
It will be interesting to see what happens now. P&z should reject this project for the same reason it was rejected before, way to big, violation of set backs, violation of density, no traffic study, etc.
But with this project already approved by their bosses, the mayor and commission, they will be under extreme pressure to approve.
