Here is an opportunity to participate at the beginning of the development application process - rather than after plans have already been approved. Your input can shape project outcomes. Thanks to the Village of Palmetto Bay for taking this extra step to assure that residents have the opportunity to engage and make a difference for our village.
Village Hosts Community Outreach Meeting
to Review “Parkside at Palmetto Bay” The Village of Palmetto Bay’s Planning & Zoning Department cordially invites members of the public to attend a community outreach meeting on December 7 with representatives of Shores at Palmetto Bay, LLC (applicant) regarding their
proposed mixed-use development (residential/retail/charter school) to be located on the east side of Franjo Road (SW 97th Avenue) and north of SW 180th Street in the Franjo Triangle Island (FT&I) District. The project is called, “Parkside at Palmetto Bay.”
The residential/retail use will be located on the western portion of the site zoned MM (Mixed-Use Main Street) on approximately two acres. The residential component will include 103 townhouses and an enclosed parking garage
designed to accommodate the required parking for both the residential and retail uses. The retail uses as required under the FT&I District will be located on the first floor along Franjo Road (SW 97th Avenue).
The second component of this project is a charter school, which will be located on approximately 3 acres of the eastern portion of the site zoned MN (Mixed-Use Neighborhood). The proposed design of the school includes a three-story classroom building to house up to 1,400 student stations; two-story multipurpose building with cafeteria, library and labs, and future regulation-sized indoor gymnasium.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2010, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., at the Edward & Arlene Feller Community Room at Ludovici Park, 17641-A Old Cutler Road. The intent of the meeting is to provide information on the proposed project and answer questions or concerns from the community.
COUNCIL PERSONS SHALL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE AND COUNCIL PERSONS SHOULD NOT BE APPROACHED WITH COMMENTS AS A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD IN THE FUTURE. The community meeting is NOT A HEARING. It shall be an opportunity for the community to
be advised of the pending application prior to public hearing.
For meeting information, contact Village Hall at 305-259-1234.
Do you want your representatives to be elected by just 5% of village voters? That is the dismal prediction for voter turn out in the Run-Off Election on Nov. 16th.
Let’s spread the word about the forum to increase village-wide participation and build momentum for the election!! Please send this invitation to all your Palmetto Bay contacts.
Email questions now or submit questions in writing at the forum. Thanks once again to PBVC for supporting the community!

Campaign signs are everywhere but how much local grassroots support do each of the candidates actually have in Palmetto Bay? How much money have the candidates raised in total? How much of their own money did they use?
