RAC (Regional Activity Center)
I can hardly believe that we are faced YET with trying to save the open space and beauty of our beach and Main Beach Parking Lot. This is an affont to the citizens of Deerfield Beach who voted to defeat the so called "Beach Park Referendum" just one year ago. That project was called a "Park" and this proposal is called an "Activity Center." Who does our Planning Board and Commission think they are fooling? A "wolf in sheep's clothing is still a wolf", and a different name is only a change in semantics. RAC is not in the interests of the residents of Deerfield Beach. It is in the interests of those who stand to benefit financially: developers, hotels, restaurants, etc. Our taxes have been raised to the maximum, fire fees have been added, and now beach parking tickets almost doubled ($50). We taxpayers are willing to pay to keep our city beautiful and safe and our Commissioners and Mayor should represent and respect our vote. Our children and grandchildren will be looking at concrete, asphalt, and buildings of unproportunate size where open space and trees once stood. It makes me so sad! If you feel as I do please call 426-2686 and help us defeat this proposal. We need every citizen.
