Citizens for Sensible Improvements: Boca Del Mar

Word out of Boca Raton that there is a new group that is fighting for the redevelopment of the Mizner Trail golf course. Click title for link to their blog. Seems like there is a problem with people being open to change and improvement there as well. Apparently, dissension on is not tolerated and "no" seems to be a favorite word among some residents on the other side of the issue.

This is from the blog.

Kollman and CSI support the proposed new development so the community can be beautified and restored.  “My neighbors and I are tired of living on a blighted eyesore.  It’s time the homeowners of Boca Del Mar realize that property values will continue to be depressed if something isn’t done.  This problem will not just go away on its own. “

Kollman and his neighbors were inspired to take action after they witnessed the most recent Board of Directors Meeting of the Boca Del Mar Improvement Association (BDMIA) on June 17, 2013 concerning the new building plans for the Mizner Trail project. The meeting of over 125 fellow homeowners started with a BDMIA board member stating that, although this meeting was scheduled to review the latest plans and vote to either support or oppose the project, the Board of Directors had already voted ‘No’ to oppose the plan.  The board vote was decided without any formal presentation of the site plan for Mizner Trail Properties by their land planner or other representative.

And then this:

CSI: Boca Del Mar wants homeowners in the Boca Del Mar community to be informed of the benefits of this project and to help support the beautification of this deserted and overgrown site.  “Progress cannot be made from consistently saying no without purpose or reason,” says Kollman.
