Lakeview development may enhance the area
Dear Editor:
I m not sure why you picked Diana Minotti and me as particular respondents in your article about the Lakeview Estates? It seems strange when so many others were far more opinionated and threatening.
I noticed that you quoted me, but you left off a little bit more of my comment at the lectern that was said that evening. The part that was left out was that the project needed another way to be approved. That way was the recommendations of both the planning board and city staff. The proposal of the developer was too big and hard to comprehend. It could have been a better presentation had they brought the drone presentation to the planning board. The drone presentation was unique and professionally done.
2 months ago Share The Gardens residents would be zoned to two over-capacity schools. The developer will have to pay to mitigate the development s impact on the school district.
Old Kings Elementary and Flagler Palm Coast High School are over capacity, and the developer of a proposed residential community that would add more students to those schools will have to pay to offset the development s burden on the school district. I’m still not clear on why we would adopt or approve something when we know that there’s an error, when we have an opportunity to correct that error.
