444 Skinner Blvd Townhomes

A former owner of the property with 55 years in Dunedin, he praised the project as better than what he built there and said the neighborhood is changing anyway.

A Palmetto Street neighbor, he said everything nearby is one or two stories and tasteful, and this building "looks like a parking garage" and will stick out at the highest point on Skinner.

An investor who owns six Dunedin properties, she called the project unique and tastefully done, saying it would improve what is now an eyesore vacant lot.

A developer and attorney who owns four Main Street properties, he argued ARC and LPA both approved the project over staff's objection and urged the commission to approve it.

Her home sits directly behind the existing three-story building; she reported backyard flooding, a deteriorating retaining wall, and said the project doesn't fit Dunedin's charm and will become short-term rentals.
