This would have otherwise been a short meeting if it had not been for 2 members of the public who facilitated the need for dialogue on the dais. Thank goodness for City Watchdogs!

Two issues of importance came forward:
one south end related,
one north end related.
The south end issue: (Item 26) Pertained to a dock approval near Summa Beach.
It was thankfully tabled until photographs could be provided to clearly indicate where exactly it was going to be built. South end should pay close attention to this one. Thank you Gail Levine for raising the flag on this one and Commissioner Mitchell for insisting on more information.


The north end issue: (Item 27) Barcelona Square is now an apartment building with 265 units, with portions reaching eight stories.
If you want to know more, email me.
The vote was 4-1 for approval.

A special note to my neighbors and friends in the north end:
Remember Neil Kosokoff?
He is no longer the owner of this project and the development has been significantly altered.
The new developers are Lane Development out of Tampa.
The name of the development is Barcelona Square Limited Partnership.
Just thought you might want to know...

So now for Public comment...
NO, not yet...we have a presentation scheduled for 5:00pm...Kaleidoscope 2008.

Okay, after that, we will here from the public...maybe!
