The Landmarks Preservation Commission will perform the design review. This project shall be deferred to the August 9, 2023, Town Council meeting pending review by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
I am a resident and property owner on the 100 block of Sunset Ave. One of my concerns with proposed development is that it will exasperate the current traffic issues on Sunset , Sunrise and North County. As shown below even in May it is difficult to exit Sunset ave. Some of this may be the unintended consequence of the the recent traffic pattern change restricting left turns on Bradley from Sunset. During the season North county is backed up all afternoon and early evening.
The current plan for the Paramount calls for a 250 seat theater , a restaurant , a private club, 100 outdoor dining seats and increasing parking from 46 to 127 spaces.
The area currently has significant retail space, Publix, 10 restaurants ( listed below) within 1.5 blocks of the development any addition may only increase density and traffic congestion .
PB Catch, Echo, Almond, Greens, Flagler Steak house, Cucina, Field of Greens Henry’s Lola 41 and Trevini. The area also is densely residential with large buildings including the Sun and Surf and the Leveritt house. The ability of emergency vehicles access the area needs to be taken into consideration .
I hope my information and input is useful , please pass it on to the appropriate involved decision makers.
