 Community support grows for Creek wetlands cause.
The benefit also gave 4C’s an opportunity to thank friends and supporters of the group’s opposition to the Cocomar Plaza project and to increase awareness among other members of the community. Sunrise City Commissioner Sheila Alu came by to show support for the cause as did Coconut Creek Planning and Zoning Board member Colleen LaPlant.
The 4C’s would again like to express their most sincere appreciation for all of those who participated and helped to make RTW II the best 4C’s event yet, as well as top notch entertain-ment by the Rodeo Clowns, Billy Sansone and Assassin. Michael O’Brien, Director of the Broward Green League and Matthew Schwartz, Ever-glades and Political Chair for the Broward Sierra Club also took the stage, addressing South Florida’s ecology, urban sprawl, and the importance of community involvement.
Popular South Florida DJ Rick the Unapoemer kept the show running smoothly as Master of Ceremonies. Phil Rich did a great job providing sound and engineering services for the event. A full house was on hand July 19th for the second Concerned Citizens of Coco-nut Creek Rock for the Wetlands benefit, hosted by Kor-rigan’s Irish Pub. Attendees enjoyed excellent food, drink and hospitality,

This picture along with many others taken shows a Wood Stork feeding along the Cocomar canal just a few weeks ago. The Wood Stork is on the endangered list however, South Florida Builders are trying to get it removed from the endangered list in an attemp to allow more agressive development. The City and County Commissioners appear not to be concerned about our environment by their actions regarding this wetland area. We need your help. |

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
A grass-roots community-based coalition has been formed, called the Concerned Citizens of Coconut Creek LLC. This Florida Corporation of local residents assist in the non-profit bipartisan support of fund raising efforts for the preservation of all the wetlands in Coconut Creek.
A lawsuit has been filed in the Broward County 17th Judicial Circuit Court against the City of Coconut Creek and Regency Realty, Inc. to overturn the rezoning change citing: “…the City failed to follow the essential requirements of law and issued a development order inconsistent with the city’s state mandated comprehensive plan”. The residents are represented by the law firm of Andrew Dickman, P.A. of Naples, FL.
While every courtesy has been extended by Andrew Dickman on behalf of this cause, a financial burden still exists. Residents have footed the bill out of their own pockets. But help is needed. Donations of any amount are being solicited.
No matter where you reside on this planet, the ecology of the site in question belongs to you as well. The benefits of this green space are not exclusive to the residents of Coconut Creek, although they would be among the first to suffer the loss of its existence. That loss would be felt by generations to come in perpetuity. Please donate any amount possible.
