As a developer/owner has submitted plans to build to five stories at the Gulfstream, I wanted to remind people of the following:
This measure amended the Lake Worth City Charter to limit buildings to be 45 feet in height between Golfview Road and F Street and 35 feet between F street and A Street in a designated area of downtown, with exception to existing buildings and currently approved building permits.[1]

Text of measure
Text of the question:| “ | AMENDING CHARTER BUILDING HEIGHT LIMITS IN DESIGNATED DOWNTOWN AREA, WITH EXCEPTIONS.
Should the Charter be amended to limit building height to 45 feet
between Golfview Road and F Street and 35 feet between F Street and A
Street within a designated downtown area (between a southern boundary of
1st Avenue South; northern boundary of 2nd Avenue North; western
boundary of A Street North and South; and an eastern boundary of
Golfview Road North and South), providing exceptions for existing
buildings and already approved building permits?
Shall the above described amendment be adopted? YES NO[1][2] |
We should have limited it to 2 stories everywhere in the city. Lots of 3 story condomin. buildings around with high roofs. They are way too high for surrounding neighborhoods with little 1 story homes.
ReplyDeleteAnon above is correct, see building at 2nd Ave. North, I'm not sure how many stories it is, maybe 3 or 4, with higher peaks on ends and it towers and shadows the historic cottages behind it on North O.
ReplyDeleteRespectful Planning Pac only concentrated on the downtown. Look to the Planning & Zoning Board, etc. and passing all the LDR's that are allowing these heights in the residential neighborhoods as well as allowing an additional floor for a community benefit. Look to this commission.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you bother reminding people of the following:
ReplyDeleteYour conservative hero gov. ric scott made your amendment moot, null and void.
Why do you keep beating the same dead horses over and over. If you need to do that at least tell the truth.
Truth is something I totally believe in here. And the truth is, we won this election and it is law until the city challenges it in court. I don't need to go over this again. I will leave beating the dead horse to you. You do it so well.
ReplyDeleteWes at 5:15, go back to your boss, Hudson Holdings.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 5:17 It is not LYNN'S amendment. It is the people of Lake Worth's amendment. And at one minute after midnight following election day ,it became law.It does not matter that Pam Lopez, our city clerk , refused to do her legal job and send the results to Tallahassee.It's still the law. Hudson Holdings has been notified of this. They proceed against this law at their own peril. And if and until a court says otherwise ,it still is the law in Lake Worth. The OPINION of a local attorney like Torcivia isn't worth squat.The law is the law. What Gov. Scott passed does not apply to our charter amendment.Ignoring the will of the people is what is going to cost Pam ,Andy and Scott their seats. People don't like to be marginalized. It's going to be delicious to see you a-holes squashed like the cock roaches you are in the next election.
ReplyDeleteYes, 5:17 you forget that this commission represents the voters, not their special friends or Hudson holdings or any developer or what they envision for the city. The people voted.
ReplyDeleteWhat is going on with the Hummingbird? We need a hotel in town. It says on their sign opening in 2015. Why isn't anyone bitching about this? It looks abandoned.
ReplyDeleteIt was bought by Dan Gorman who is part of the new ownership of the Bamboom room. I thought he was going to renovate. Something about hotel guys.
ReplyDeletePam Lopez took an oath that requires her to comply with State Law before City Law. I think you forget that she had no choice. We also had a Florida election that resulted in the citizens voting to ban gay marriage in Florida. That law was nullified by the Supreme Court. So you can see that the winners of an election do not always win. That is our system in the good old USA.
ReplyDeleteYou are not exactly telling all of the facts here, anonymous at 3:57 but it is way too exhausting to continue to explain it all. Time will tell on this one. It will take a lawsuit because this commission just did not do the right thing.
