Resident urges CRA not to allow high-rise housing at Plantation General Hospital site
Summary
A resident told the Community Redevelopment Agency he saw demolition activity at the old Plantation General Hospital site and asked commissioners not to approve high-rise residences there, citing privacy concerns for neighbors.
Dennis Conklin, a resident of 4581 Northwest Court, told the Community Redevelopment Agency during public comment that crews had begun work at the old Plantation General Hospital site and he opposed building high-rise residences there.
"Heavenly hosts protect you and your families," Conklin said at the start of his comments. He said crews were "pushing some dirt in, FlexZone 73 at the old, Plantation General Hospital site where they broke ground for the new, soon to be built, emergency center." Conklin said he asked whether crews would be demolishing the existing plant and "they said they were."
Conklin told commissioners, "Please do not put high rise residences in that place. Looking into my neighbor's backyards and homes." No other members of the public signed up to speak on that topic, and no commissioner response to Conklin's comments was recorded in the meeting transcript. The meeting then adjourned.
The remarks were made during the public-comment portion of the CRA meeting; they record the resident's observations and request but do not reflect any formal action, staff report, or planning decision captured in the transcript.
