Palatka’s Historic Preservation Board meets today at 5 p.m. at City Hall to hear a request by the City of Palatka to change the zoning of Hammock Hall, a city-owned building up for sale, to commercial. A number of residents in the city’s South Historic District have voiced opposition to the city’s plan to rezone the building on Kirby Street. A commercial rezoning would allow businesses and multi-family dwellings in what is currently a single-family residential area. When city commissioners originally decided to sell the building and three lots they received only one bid. They then decided to rezone the property and originally intended to take it to the Palatka Planning Board. Then they found out it would have to go before the Historic Preservation Board first and today’s special meeting was called. Last week residents of the area were finally invited by the city to a meeting to discuss what they wanted to see. Three commissioners — Mayor Terrill Hill and Commissioners Willie Jones and Justin Campbell — were at the meeting, making no comments but listening to proposals none of which included a change to commercial.

A large crowd showed up at the Pomona park town hall meeting last week to voice their objections to rumors that a pubic fishing pier would be built on Lake Broward. There were three suggestions… a pier could be built along the existing no fishing pier, a pier could be built at the end of Middleton Road or the existing pier could be extended an additional 50 feet into the lake. A public boat ramp was also mentioned but Mayor Joe Svingala said that would not happen. The discussion continues about additional fishing access. The meeting was to gather information on what to do.
