Historic Preservation Board says "Seventeen is Enough!" City Commission will meet Tomorrow, Wed, Mar 10th

This morning the Historic Preservation Board met to consider the Flamingo Park Tennis Facility and Courts.  Upon request for expanding to 22 tennis courts, a very thoughtful staff presentation, and community input the Board took the position that there be no more than 17 courts.  In related action the Board agreed to provide an extension of time for one additional year for the Tennis Facility and Court Masterplan adopted by the City Commission on Sep 9, 2009.

Members of the Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association testifying before the Board -- Tammie Tibbles, Judy Robertson, and Denis Russ-- supported the Planning staff recommendation limiting the number of courts to 17 and supported the good plan of Sep 9, 2009 as a balanced approach to providing recreational facilities and open green space amenities for the community.  Congratulations to the Planning Board on their good and sensible action today.

Please note that the City Commission will be meeting tomorrow, March 10th, from 9am, in the Commission Chambers, at City Hall.  Judy Robertson reviewed the Agenda and points out the following matters that have been of interest to the Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association.
