Yesterday's meeting of the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District provided very good news to the large crowd of Ocean Blvd. residents when Chairman Bob Rollins announced that the Ocean Strand property is not for sale. Many residents of the nearby Boca Towers expressed their positive opinion at hearing the chairman introduce the public comment portion of the agenda with this announcement.
But, a few residents were concerned that the potential exists for the property to be sold without a "required" referendum of voters. One commissioner inquired from the district's attorney if the commission could request a referendum should a proposal be made to sell or lease the property. The reply from the attorney was yes, the commission could require a referendum. The attorney also emphasized that the beach and park district has never sold or leased any property since the district was formed over 20 years ago.

Be careful with city promises! Did you know that the Mayor's daughter works for the developer proposing this development?
ReplyDeleteWhy hasn't this land been rezoned as open space and recreation? It appears that the city is leaving the door open for future development.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for the developers. This land is NOT zoned for open space ro recreational use.
ReplyDeleteVacant land on the beach and the city needs tax revenue--this looks like a match made by a CPA & a developer. Did you know that the city manager is a CPA?
ReplyDeleteLand use should be changed to the benefit of ALL residents
