NORTH PORT – Circuit Court Judge Hunter W. Carroll denied a motion for a preliminary injunction against a resident push to contract the city of North Port Monday morning.
In a 12-page ruling, Carroll essentially said the push by the attorneys for Wellen Park, LLLP, Mattamy Tampa Sarasota, LLC; Neal Communities of Southwest Florida, LLC; and GB WV, LLC, to stop contraction did not prove “likelihood of irreparable harm; the unavailability of an adequate remedy of law; the substantial likelihood of success on the merits; and the injunction will serve the public interest.”
Given that, Carroll later wrote in his conclusion that, while the developers’ investment of more than $370 million is substantial, the uncertainty of deannexation is an adverse impact.
NORTH PORT – Changes in the schedule and fee structure for programs at the North Port Aquatic Center will be the subject of a special meeting of the North Port City Commission at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
Tricia Wisner, assistant director of parks and recreation for the city of North Port, said the proposed changes come from both attendance trends tracked by the city and feedback from users through surveys and other comments.
The surveys were conducted online and live during special events.
The biggest proposed change water park users would notice involves a proposal to open at 10 a.m. instead of 1 p.m., after monitoring officials noted the frequency and time of day the pool had to be closed because of nearby lightning strikes.
