Sarasota's City Commission is set to hear an appeal Monday at 9 a.m. from the owners of Midtown Plaza, who want the commission to overturn the Planning Board's 3-2 denial of their proposed six-story hotel, apartment building and garage on the site of a former Winn-Dixie. The appeal, filed Sept. 16 by agent Joel Freedman, leaves the project's design unchanged and argues the board had no legal basis to deny it. Freedman asks the commission to hear the case anew and approve the site plan with the six conditions staff recommended in September. Approval of the appeal requires a supermajority of four votes on the five-member commission.
