Behind the Scenes - Again?

What is really going on at city hall regarding the extension of the troubled Ocean Breeze golf course property?  This was a major rezoning and change of deed restrictions to get a portion of the golf course approved for a 211 unit development, BUT there seems to be more going on behind the scenes at city hall since things to not add up to a simple processing of an extension of this development.

The traffic report that was submitted under the most recent extension request was titled for LENNAR, but both the city traffic engineers and the county traffic staff were not supportive of this latest report.  The last time there were problems with the traffic engineering report the developer contacted the city staff about a "donation" to the city after reviewing the scathing report.  Not surprisingly the city negotiated a $6 million "donation" to the city during the original approval process in 2007.  Is the city trying to negotiate an increase in the price tag, OR are there other motivations for their apparent agreeing to ignore the established deadline for the development approval on 4/12/15?
