County Commission approves Mizner Trail golf course... | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

A ten year fight comes to an end with the County Commission approving residential development on the former Mizner Trail golf course in western Boca Raton area. One wonders what will eventually happen with the Sunset property in Lake Worth that has been debated and mediated for about the same length of time. How much has this issue cost the city of Lake Worth to defend and mediate over that time? Will those against any change ask to get their attorney fees paid? Will they ever settle for anything? One of the antagonists in this drama does not even pay city taxes.

A community of homes and townhouses can rise on a defunct golf course west of Boca Raton, Palm Beach County commissioners agreed Thursday, ending nearly a decade-long debate over whether development should be allowed on former greens.
After a five-hour public hearing, the commission voted 5-2 to allow 253 residences — 115 zero-lot-line homes, 45 town houses, 92 multifamily units and a six-bed congregate living facility — on the 127-acre course west of Interstate 95 and south of Palmetto Park Road.
Commissioners Steven Abrams and Jess Santamaria voted against the project.
