In spite of a lawsuit and going full steam ahead with this commission's blessing, Hudson Holdings' site plans for their Gulfstream Hotel will go before the Historic Resource Preservation Board tonight at 6pm City Hall. It still amazes me how one company and a trio of commissioners can stomp on the Charter Amendment regarding heights.
The bewilderment is "why?" Why bend over backwards for one investor who wants 20 more feet than the Charter Amendment allows but doesn't need 20 more feet to have a viable hotel property? WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON? And I still contend that anyone who petitioned for, campaigned for and voted for the Charter Amendment has standing no matter what legal trick the city wants to take next or one in which Hudson Holdings agrees.

Lynn, I wish you could prove some kind of pay to play going on here. Sure seems like it.
:) That's a good one. Trust me, if I could, I would. The only way that corruption is discovered for the most part, is through depositions (people still lie) or someone coming forward with some proof that holds up in court.
The non elected ,non accountable citizen boards like the planning and zoning and "historic" board have become politicized weapons of mass destruction aimed at the heads of the average Lake Worth citizen.
Not sure why you would want to stop this great project over 20 feet. I voted in favor of restricting heights but had no idea it would affect the hotel. I have no problem with letting this happen and think it would be great for our city. I also hope that my kids can get jobs there when it opens.
oh, great...it's all about you and your kids--not the Constitution and democracy.
No one is trying to stop this project, anony at 10:02. Why do you continue to lie about that? Why don't you just understand the simplest of things? The legal vote. America? The Constitution?
The city has gone to hell. The illuminati are controlling everything. Last night it was sad to see so few people attending a city commission meeting. Hardly anyone, maybe 20 people I counted in the audience. How said that the commission and mayor have chased away the voice of the people and no one goes to these meetings anymore. They are not respecting our wishes as voters to keep things low, they do what they want. Rice and this trio are really doozies. Weird how Rice is on the board that allows and promotes all these dealings. I have just lost all respect for this city leadership and these so called ambassadors to Lake Worth, they are jokes. They could give a damn about what the majority of the citizens really want.
Too bad the people voice has been silenced in all of these decisions.
Lynn, I didn't see you last night, what happened? This city is going to hell!
I was there, anonymous @ 3:42
Why don't you sue the HRPZ Board members individually? Won't they be approving a project against the charter? You caould also use the delay tactic to make this guy go away. I think the Gulfstream looks just fine the way it is.
Don't know why I posted that silly comment at 4:55. I guess it is to show that there are SILLY people in this city. :(
Pay to play IS going on here!
Community Benefit is that EXACTLY!
There is a list of goodies you can
give the city and they will basically
allow you to get around or soften the
rules if you do it!
Community Benefit IS Pay to Play
Welcome to Corruption County!
Now that's some 'branding'!
