Last one first: From the ITN Meeting vis-à-vis the Lake Worth Casino complex


This is the last in the series from the meeting last Tuesday (4/28) from the Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) Selection Committee. I am starting with this one as it includes a summary of the recommendations by the Committee and an agreement to dissolve the selection process. The three recommendations to the City Commission are:
  • Ask the Commission to approve a Request for Qualifications for a study of the beach to include traffic generation, usage, parking, access, ADA requirements and the feasibility of whether or not any additional square footage of buildings/uses is possible. This might result in a change to the Beach and Casino future land use designation in the Comprehensive Plan and the Beach and Casino zoning district in the land development regulations.
  • That the Commission hold a workshop to focus on the overall budget issues with the beach, the sources of revenue and expenses related to its current operation.
  • That the Commission proceed to negotiate with Anderson and Carr regarding the second floor space in the Casino building and determine policies related to same.
I'll post the series of videos from Tuesday night (4/28) as a playlist so that you can hear the entire meeting.
