Unnecessary in such a soft and prone to flooding area. We shouldn’t be putting anymore large developments in anywhere below Hollywood. This is all swamp land or about to be swamp land.
Residents in this area cant do anything on their property due to critical areas — but if you got the $$$$ you can build anything … I thought that there were no more edu’s available … where did these 60 come from????
