Sunset and Lake Osborne

Sunset on Lake Osborne

Robert Waples, the new President of Lake Osborne Heights, is rallying his members to attend tomorrow’s Commission meeting. Although not on the Agenda, the Sunset issue is very much on everyone’s mind who lives in that neighborhood. We have always said that the owner should build 7 units to an acre, compatible to the neighborhood zoning. Right now, there is one house on 4.02 acres that has always been in the County until Lake Worth annexed it. As Comp Plan changes are political, this is what Robert has to say:

"We once again are facing the challenge that is moving forward in regards to the property located at the end of Sunset in our neighborhood. At the City Council meeting last night it was placed on the agenda with out notice to the public to discuss the future of this property and with no regard as to how this will affect our neighborhood and our way of life in Lake Osborne Heights.

This is expected to come up again at the February 17th City Commission Meeting and regardless of it being on the agenda, we as members of ROLOH and Citizens of the City of Lake Worth need to voice our opinions on this subject.

We are asking everyone, which means everyone that lives in the boarders of our association, to attend the February 17th City Commission Meeting and stand up for our rights as citizens to have the vote as to what the zoning and future of that property is, as it will be a direct impact to all of us.

I would like to challenge all our neighbors to speak to your neighbors about this event and encourage their attendance, your friends in Lake Worth, attendance and everyone you know in this matter.

Having the say in development of our neighborhoods is so important that it is not just about Sunset and ROLOH but every neighborhood in the entire city limits. This agenda could affect the city as a whole and we need everyone's support to keep our decisions just that....Our Decisions.

Thank You"
