One of the very few
parks left in central Florida and maybe all of Florida where a pet lover can
walk with their pet in peace and enjoy the day with friends and Florida is
about to chop this off and hand it off to developers?

Local group fights
high-rise proposal in Lake Eola Park
City planning board
to discuss proposal Tuesday

The new tower would
go up at East Central Boulevard and North Rosalind Avenue but the project has
strong critics who plan to make their presence known Tuesday in front of the
city planning board.
The 28-story
high-rise is designed to have residential units, shops, restaurants and a
parking garage. It is the brainchild of Chicago developer Mark Bortz, who owns
the two buildings that would be taken down to make way for the high-rise.
The proposal also
includes outdoor seating, a water wall and other park enhancements.
But a group called
Save Lake Eola Park Park said the land that the new building would take up was
deeded from St. Luke’s Cathedral to be used as a public park only.
The development is
ultimately subject to City Council’s approval after the municipal board reviews
it.
The city planning
staff recommended that the proposal be approved, but only under 10 pages of
conditions, including everything from trees to lighting. They are meeting at
8:30 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the proposal.
