Editorial: On Chapel-by-the-Lake, would West Palm Beach win? | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

Randy Schultz of the Palm Beach Post editorial board weighs in on the Chapel-by-the-Lake property in West Palm Beach and the proposed two tower plan for a 24 and 25 story building there. At issue is a site plan that clearly does not meet the required setbacks and what precedent that would set for similar waterfront properties around the city. I'm not impressed about how the buildings relate to the street and most people will be coming and going by automobile. This is a typical "pedestal" residential high-rise that sits on top of a parking garage. Click title for link to article. The meeting for second reading of the request is before the West Palm Beach City Commission tonight.
