Dennis Conklin, a Plantation resident, asked the Community Redevelopment Agency where the program’s "catalytic investments" would be located and later requested a height limit if Plantation General Hospital is demolished.

"I was curious about the, added improvements and where they were going to be going for the catalytic investments strategy," Dennis Conklin said, identifying himself as a resident at 4581 Northwest Sixth Court. He later asked the commission to consider limits for any redevelopment of the Plantation General Hospital site: "My request of the commission is that, 1 Plantation General Hospital is demolished, that, the you would kindly limit the, structural, I'm assuming it's gonna be residential, to, 3 stories. That's my request."

CRA staffer Director Hall answered Conklin’s question about catalytic investments, describing those projects as ones that “not only affect just the location itself but have elements that affect the whole district,” and citing local projects as examples that act as catalysts for further investment. Director Hall referenced projects he described as the "Kimco Publix project, Broward Inn 441, where not only is it just for the Publix, but it's for the whole center," and said catalytic investments are intended to attract additional reinvestment in the district.

Item 4 — which had been pulled from the consent agenda for public comment — was moved, seconded and approved by the commission in a recorded roll-call vote. Commissioners Anderson, Andrew, Fadgen, Horland, Einstein and Sordle voted “yes.” The transcript shows the commission received Conklin’s comments and recorded them in the public-request portion of the meeting; no formal CRA action on design standards or a height limit for the Plantation General Hospital site was recorded in the meeting minutes.

Conklin also offered praise for CRA progress and Director Hall’s work earlier in his remarks. The CRA adjourned following the public-request period and remaining agenda business.
