City Clerk announces retirement effective September 30th



For nearly two-hours, residents on both sides of the controversial Cordova Inn PUD expressed either their approval, or disagreement, with the application by developer David Corneal that will sidestep the city’s HP-1 zoning restrictions, if approved. The Planned Unit Development is needed to allow a “boutique hotel” to be operated in the eight remaining structures that formerly comprised the Dow Museum of Historic Homes.
Something special will be on the agenda when the Regular Meeting of the St. Augustine City Commission convenes on Monday, July 27, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. in the Alcazar Room of City Hall.

Dear Editor:
All sides are anxious to hear our city commission deliberate on the PUD application for the Cordova Inn.
Soon after this morning’s 8:30 a.m. meeting convened in Tallahassee, Historic City News was informed that the Florida Commission on Ethics had reached a 6-1 split decision declaring that “probable cause” had been found in the recent complaints against Flagler County Sheriff, James L. Manfre.
