Another lawsuit regarding the playhouse
Winker said, "The County's arguments that the Mayor's veto is illegal are without merit and this is an inappropriate attempt to override the decision of an apolitical historical board decision that found the County's plan to demolish over 90% of the Playhouse was unacceptable."
The petition states, "Dramatic theater rarely benefits from a sequel, and this case proves no
exception."
The county's filing may be seen here. We'll post the Winker filing when that happens.

I am so happy Gimenez is term limited.
Has anyone scratched the surface as to how much Richard Heisenbottle is slated to earn if his plan gets approved. Look into it and you will be shocked at how the tail is wagging the dog.
Anon 3:30 - Why don't you enlighten us? I'll bet you have zero proof about what you are saying or implying.
some people just dont appreciate the grandeur of the past architecturally beautiful buildings. Such buildings give everyone who enters, a feeling of class & culture & appreciation of past artistry!
We should appreciate the so few such structures that yearn to be preserved!!!

Tom, Your link seems to open to the County's filing, not the Winkler Amicus Brief filing. I've read the County's petition and it seems well reasoned and compelling from the legal side. It will be interesting to read the City's filing and Mr. Winkler's amicus brief supporting the city mayor's veto. I have not looked at every detail of the County's plan but starting with a sustainable 300 seat theater makes sense to me. It does seem that the County designers did include many of the existing architectural elements including the entire entry side facade. A consistently filled 300 seat room is a much preferable venue over a half-empty 1100 seat theatre. 300 seats is a nice size more in keeping with the population of regular theatergoers, providing a more pleasant audience experience IMHO. Thank you.
First, the appeal is not "which plan you like better" which the County has briefed/argued and Mr. Studl has swallowed hook, line, and sinker. The issue is whether the Mayor properly exercised his veto,
Next, the court docket is totally void of any mention of an amicus brief. Who is the attorney filing the amicus on the behalf of?
So glad to hear Attorney Winker is getting involved in this. He just kicked ULTRA off Virginia Key where it never belonged. Hopefully he can stop the County's effort to demolish this community treasure.
A Sixty-two page petition, an impeccable & wordy brief, why? For who/whom. Who's interest? ANYONE/GROVE RESIDENT OR NOT, who has a heartfelt interest in the Grove Playhouse, for whatever reason SHOULD consider reducing their thoughts about what the playhouse means to them, personally & for the Grove Community and send a copy to Attorney David Winker for incorporation into his proposed Amicus Brief. It's my opinion the judge would give more weight to a thousand heartfelt letters over this petition. The Grove Playhouse can be preserved as the very last iconic structure left standing in the Grove, ONLY IF we make our voices heard. Jobie Steppe
