As long standing owners of several apartments at the Sun and Surf we strongly object to counsel for the Paramount Theater project continuing to seek a Text Amendment to allow construction of Arcades and Colonnades, which include habitable space above them on Town owned property, over the right of way in the entire Town Serving zoning district. This should be outright rejected. To consider allowing this is unreasonable and irresponsible.
These proposed arcades will block the view to the North side when turning right exiting Sunset. They also consume green space, block sunshine and pose innumerable safety hazards, including blocking oncoming traffic visibility.
These proposed colonnades and arcades would allow this project to have more mass solely for the developers use with zero benefit to the Town and neighbors. What is the logic behind granting a town wide code revision based on an applicant by a developer?
Why are these ammendments being sponsored by the developer and not the town?
Where is the study as to its “need” ? Where is the research that presents any benefit whatsoever to the residents of Palm Beach, either aesthetically or practically ?
Where is the study of its adverse effects on safety, traffic and parking?

Why is the committee even considering such an obtrusive and offensive proposal that is a blight to the natural beauty and landscape of our magnificent Palm Beach ?

Please preserve this special island.
