Today's city council workshop meeting resulted in the city manager being tasked with analyzing the numerous offers for the municipal golf course located west of the turnpike and reporting back in approx 30 days with his recommendation. Only the Lennar proposal included a swap of the city golf course for the ocean breeze golf course.
The best comment from residents was by Lenore Wachtel who recommended that any offer to buy the city golf course should be contingent upon the transaction including the transfer of the Ocean Breeze golf course to the city.
Was it surprising that there were no endorsements of the last "Lennar" offer by Boca Teeca residents?(which included the swap of the golf course). But, what can Lennar expect when they offer to build a moat and hundreds of houses on the ocean breeze golf course? Or, maybe it was their lack of transparency on the contract to buy the golf course from Wells Fargo? Or, could it be that Lennar is believed to be behind the closing of the golf course in order to "encourage" owners to cooperate with their development proposal? Or, could it be the lack of irrigation on the golf course since July 1st which has resulted in a browning meadow?
What are your recommendations for encouraging the city to acquire the ocean breeze golf course? Should Boca Teeca residents email city council members and George Brown (gbrown@myboca.us) in order to request they negotiate on behalf of all residents to provide an expedited acquisition of the Boca Teeca golf course property in order to assure a smooth transition from the West Glades Rd. golf course?
Yes, it is interesting how poorly they (Wells Fargo I presume) took care of that property, even when it was operational. Take a look at the motel for instance. I think it was used as a rehab center the last several years before closing. What was that all about?
