Turn over Sand Pine Preserve to the city for the express purpose of combing it with existing adjacent undeveloped city park. The Recreation and Parks advisory board has already designated that park as a priority development. a. Funding. Along with the acreage comes drainage funding which would be used for part of the development. b. The existing 501 C3 Corporation can be used to raise funds. 3a. It has been suggested that a swap be made with the PBA for the facility on Miner road which would automatically give the park a gated facility and parking. (Perhaps the Boynton Beach High School ?) c. A launching ramp could be installed at the NE corner, there are county funds available for that. d. The proposed bicycle path along the canal may carry some funding. (apply for stimulus $$ for PBA +HS) Quantum District and Quantum Property Owners Association voted in favor of this at the past combined meeting on 11/06/2012. Charles E. Kanter, President, Parkside HOA attended the meeting and represented Parkside in favor of the development.
