"$60 million Gulf Stream project up for final vote tonight"

So reads the headline above of an article today (2/17) by The Palm Beach Post's Kevin Thompson. I hesitate to provide a link to it as it has a snarky tone. This from our local paper of record, by the way. And, to top it off, includes mention of a lawsuit brought by a former commissioner. Here is how Thompson reports what the lawsuit is about:

This 'news' is very misleading.

Excuse me Mr. Thompson, it is about how Golden and her small crew thinks heights CANNOT exceed 45 feet in this area. That effort by Golden et al. was declared "null and void" by the state legislature. Let's not further confuse an already confused group of Lake Worth citizens. A correction/clarification is in order.

The point is the Historic Resource Preservation Board (HRPB) will be reviewing the various Certificate of Appropriateness applications, including the site plan, at a special meeting beginning at 6 p.m. at City Hall today. Make sure to attend if you want to know more about what is being proposed. Below are some renderings to get you excited about the project. I really think the architects have done an excellent job with making sure that the new building is subordinate to the historic hotel. They have also made sure that the height and intensity of the project diminish as it approaches the neighborhood to the south.

Plan to attend the meeting at the HRPB tonight at City Hall beginning at 6:00. Here are some renderings:
