Taylor Wimpey have submitted planning application to amend approved construction traffic route, via Meteor Close, for the remainder of the build of the Sewell Meadow development. The x3 proposals for the construction traffic route are duplicated from planning application 20190533—Option 1 being the approved route. Application has been called into Planning Committee for consideration to allow the public the opportunity to comment on the amendment (normal consultation period does not apply for amendments).

Allowing the construction traffic to use St Faiths Road will affect residents living and working in Old Catton, particularly near Repton Avenue and St Faiths Road

Have your say and keep the construction traffic on the approved route and out of Old Catton

A public meeting was held on February 22, 2023 at 6:00PM at the Delray Beach Golf Club, 2200 Highland Ave., Delray Beach, FL 33445 to gather public comments about the renovations and private/public partnership proposals. The overwhelming majority of residents in attendance voiced their concerns about further traffic congestion, population density, added pollution, and loss of green space. This concern is enhanced by the pending completion of the 292-unit apartment project on Atlantic Avenue & Congress Avenue blocks from Atlantic Community High School and the Golf Course and the lack of traffic studies before embarking on this project that would add in up to 650 units of multifamily housing.

A possible solution suggested by the voter-residents in attendance at the meeting was for City Commissioners to pause choosing ANY of the public-private partnership proposals to request the appropriate city departments to develop smaller-scale publicly funded proposals that the residents and the decision-maker could consider.

The property owner has requested Special Exception to its Agricultural Zoning, seeking approval to:
• Triple the size of the main house on the property to 13,800 square feet to be used as a year-round wedding/event/meeting venue, including overnight accommodations (a “Country Inn”).
• Re-purpose the 2,480 square foot two-story historic bank barn and the corn crib to wedding and activity space.
• Pave two (2) additional parking lots on the property to accommodate 156 vehicles.
• Allow for the influx of vendors (caterers, musical entertainment, etc.), employees, and up to 300 guests celebrating weddings and other events.
• All-day wedding, banquet, and other event activity on the property lasting until at least 10:00 PM, potentially every day of the week with a concentration of events on weekends.

The Riverview district contains more than 1174 multi-family living units, from owned apartments and townhouse units to duplexes and townhouses, plus small, medium, and large apartment buildings with rental prices ranging from $425/month to $2910 in the Cosmopolitan which contains 264 units. Riverview just may be the MOST diverse residential neighborhood in the city!

The overlay creates an automatic "approval by right" for the proposed changes and removes the right of existing residents to participate in a forum of discussion before a board of review at the city level before approval is given.

There is currently a longstanding and equitable process in place citywide which allows for new construction or modifications outside current zoning allowances to be considered on a case-by-case basis. It also allows the residents of the neighborhood which would be impacted to give their input before approval is granted.

The existing zoning does not deny the opportunity for new construction. It ensures that development in the Riverview area is thoughtfully considered with ample opportunity for input from the people who live in the neighborhood so that new builds will enhance and not detract from the distinctive character of the diverse architectural styles that give the neighborhood its timeless appeal.

For the reasons listed above I believe that Riverview should be excluded from the Neighborhood Infill Overlay.

The steps of the Sunflower Path located between Proctor and Modoc Streets is a neighborhood space for people of all ages to enjoy the flowers, dinosaurs and animal sculptures. This artistic creation and labor of love began over 20 years ago and is enjoyed daily by those who ascend or descend the stairs.

It has come to our attention that the beautiful Sunflower Path is being threatened by another project without the knowledge or approval of the people who live in the neighborhood. This will change the Sunflower Path forever. The proposal is to permanently paint the stairs with a “Say their Names” themed statement.

We believe that this not an appropriate place for this project because it will alter a pre-existing artistic expression and more importantly it will impact the neighborhood negatively.
