Warehouse project near Delray horse farms moves forward, but commissioners want changes
A 50-acre complex of warehouses, a self-storage facility and a fitness center proposed for suburban Delray Beach is moving forward. Still, Palm Beach County commissioners say significant changes are needed for the project to be approved. The issues are the property rights of a legacy farmer who wants to develop land off West Atlantic Avenue near Florida's Turnpike that he has owned for decades and the impact the project will have on nearby agricultural businesses. The applicant, Paul Okean, is looking to build warehouses with loading docks for more than 100 trucks. With so many loading trucks, critics argue that the facility is a distribution center, which is barred by current zoning. Tractor-trailer trucks will use Starkey Road, a two-mile north-south road that empties onto Atlantic Avenue, to access the warehouses, disturbing the horses boarded at nearby Irish Acres, according to the owners of the facility. Starkey Road is at the western boundary of the Okean parcel. "This will destroy us," said Barbara O'Donnell, who owns Irish Acres with her husband, Joe. "Tractor-trailer trucks are incompatible with horses. Please don't take this away from us." More: County planning commission says no to development west of Delray, but developers optimistic The commission voted 5-1 to transmit the plans for state review. Commissioners, who voted to transmit, cautioned Okean's agent, Jennifer Morton, that much work must be done before the 750,000-square-foot project returns to the commission for final approval. The transmittal vote occurred on May 13 after several hours of testimony. The session would have been much longer if it had not been for Mayor Maria Marino's decision to restrict comments to two minutes. Commissioner Maria Sachs strongly objected to the restriction. More: Sensing defeat, developer of huge Park West project west of Delray gets postponement Commissioners, for the most part, sympathized with the O'Donnells and were concerned over the impact the warehouse project would have on Irish Acres, where thoroughbred horses from Gulfstream Park are often taken to rehabilitate after surgery. Joe O'Donnell said he has invested $10 million into his business. "This is not a problem for Irish Acres," Joe O'Donnell said in an interview. "There are other horse farms and nurseries all along Starkey Road. They will all be impacted as well." Sachs acknowledged that Okean has property rights but added: 'Those rights only go as far your neighbor. Folks who live on Starkey Road deserve better." She cast the lone vote against transmitting the project for state review. Okean has tried unsuccessfully to obtain county approval to build on the site three other times. He worked with Kushner Cos., affiliated with Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of President Donald Trump, to build a 1 million square-foot, Amazon-type facility, but plans were withdrawn in the face of opposition. He then proposed building 734 apartments, a 150-room hotel, and 200,000 square feet of commercial retail and office space. County planners also opposed that project, arguing it would set a dangerous precedent for building in the Ag Reserve. That plan, too, was abandoned. The county staff noted the adjustments Okean made in his current application and recommended that these plans be approved. Okean's lawyer, Brian Seymour, pledged to address concerns by the time the project returns to the commission for further review. "We are giving you an opportunity to get it right," Marino said. "Let's get it right." Okean's application sought approval as a 'commerce' project, a relatively new Ag Reserve designation allowing commercial and industrial development along Boynton Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue. Morton said the site is ideal for a commerce project and is exactly what was envisioned when the designation was created. "The county has said no over and over," Commissioner Joel Flores said. 'West respect his property rights. At the same time, we have to find a way to make this work. I have been to Irish Acres, and it is like heaven on earth. I won't support this unless there is a way to minimize the impacts.' Mike Diamond is a journalist at The Palm Beach Post, part of the USA TODAY Florida Network.

Billy Gibbons Wraps Up BFG's Run As ZZ Top ‘Elevation' Tour Resumes
(Left to right) Chris Layton, Billy Gibbons and Mike Flanigin perform on stage as Billy Gibbons and ... More The BFG's. Saturday, February 1, 2025 at Park West in Chicago, IL Since 2015, ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons has embarked upon a unique solo career, using his rare time away from Texas' favorite beer drinkers and hell raisers to explore an array of diverse, often percussion heavy sounds. His 2015 solo debut Perfectamundo found the lauded blues guitarist channeling his childhood studies alongside legendary Puerto Rican songwriter and bandleader Tito Puente as he experimented with an array of Afro-Cuban sounds, with 2018's The Big Bad Blues giving way to Hardware three years later, a more rock leaning affair. With ZZ Top in the midst of their 'Elevation' tour, a run which resumes this Wednesday, March 26 in Tifton, Georgia, Gibbons wrapped up a solo run of the U.S. last month, one which found him backed by The BFG's (featuring Chris Layton of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble on drums and pianist/bassist Mike Flanigin, who tickled the ivories on both Perfectamundo and The Big Bad Blues). Billy Gibbons (left) and Mike Flanigin (right) perform on stage. Saturday, February 1, 2025 at Park ... More West in Chicago, IL Interestingly enough, Gibbons eschewed almost all of the solo material in Chicago, offering up a blistering set of ZZ Top alongside a handful of well chosen covers on stage at Park West. 'Everybody ready to have a good time tonight?' asked Gibbons rhetorically in his guise as the evening's emcee, setting up an opening jam session between the uber-tight trio. 'Mike Flanigin on the organ!' shouted Gibbons, looking left with a smile at the group's secret weapon. Leaning back and to his right, Gibbons jousted playfully with Flanigin as the pair, clad in matching Nudie suits, made their way through 'Jesus Just Left Chicago,' with Flanigin swaying in time with Gibbons following a shift to the bass out of apt opener 'Waitin' for the Bus.' 'Y'all know I've been waitin' out on that bus,' said Gibbons with a sly smirk. 'Have mercy…' growled the guitarist with a wink. Chris Layton (left) and Billy Gibbons (right) perform on stage. Saturday, February 1, 2025 at Park ... More West in Chicago, IL Flanigin moved from keys to organ and over to bass repeatedly over the course of about 80 minutes, joining Gibbons on the vocal for 'Gimme All Your Lovin'' before revisiting 1979's Degüello. 'Are we having a good time tonight?' asked Gibbons on stage in Chicago. 'Wowee, that's a happy crowd!' noticed the frontman, assessing a red hot response from the sold out Windy City faithful. 'We are glad to be here. Y'all got a great room here, man!' said Gibbons, shouting out an intimate club with a capacity of just about 1,000, a theater with vaudeville roots dating back to the early 1900s. 'They came out and greeted us and said, 'You can do almost anything you want…'' mused Gibbons of his arrival. 'I said, 'What's the almost?'' he continued, recounting the humorous exchange. 'They said, 'No drinking during the gospel songs.' And I said, 'Well, we ain't doing no gospel songs!'' Billy Gibbons (left) and Mike Flanigin (right) perform on stage.

More West in Chicago, IL With Flanigin on organ they could've - but opted instead for 'Cheap Sunglasses,' with Gibbons, one of rock's most treasured storytellers, waxing philosophic on the concept of the dollar store as he set up the cut. Thanks to Layton, 'Cheap Sunglasses' chugged along like a freight train, with Flanigin pointing directly at the drummer midway through. 'Golly, let's do some blues…' said Gibbons, clearly having fun as the trio put their spin upon Slim Harpo's 'I Got Love if You Want It,' the opening track from his 2015 solo debut. 'I recorded this song… and I think I remember the words,' said the guitarist with a chuckle. Chris Layton (Double Trouble) performs on stage with Billy Gibbons and The BFG's. Saturday, February ... More 1, 2025 at Park West in Chicago, IL Back on organ, Flanigin was a delight on the old school blues track, supplying a danceable groove as Gibbons stared daggers, eventually walking over with a towel to fan the scorching player. 'Blue Jean Blues' followed, with the BFG's moving to a more contemplative tone as Gibbons delivered the song's trademark combination of storytelling and soulful picking during one of the evening's most rewarding stretches of live music. 'I got a confession to make…' sang Gibbons, slowing things down momentarily as the audience quieted down, waiting for the incendiary solo to follow. 'She sure looked good in those blue jeans,' confided the guitarist, leaning back as he began to wail with the crowd exploding in response. Billy Gibbons (left) and Mike Flanigin (right) perform on stage. Saturday, February 1, 2025 at Park ... More West in Chicago, IL Gibbons, 75, has long regaled audiences with tales of Jimi Hendrix, for whom he opened as singer and guitarist of the Moving Sidewalks prior to forming ZZ Top, with Hendrix famously teaching him how to recreate the legendary opening to 'Foxy Lady.' 'Hendrix came to see Moving Sidewalks…' Gibbons began, explaining how the group worked up a pair of Hendrix classics ('Purple Haze' and 'Foxy Lady') during the set - despite their positioning as his opening act. 'You got a lotta nerve!' he recalled, citing Hendrix's response to the stunt. 'And that's how I became friends with Jimi Hendrix!' said Gibbons, finishing up the story. 'He taught me this one,' continued the guitarist as he offered up the trio's take on 'Foxy Lady,' delivering the uniquely reverberating intro. Flanigin delivered a pulsing bassline as Gibbons crouched down late, shimmying and swaying as he slayed a solo during 'Sharp Dressed Man,' with the Texas trio heading for home on stage in Chicago.

Saturday, February 1, 2025 at Park West in Chicago, IL 'Backstage I said, 'We gotta do that thang…'' said Gibbons with inimitable swagger. 'West Texas town,' he growled as the group closed the main set with 'La Grange.' Back on bass, Flanigin sauntered left, locking in with Layton before returning to center stage where he swayed in sync with Gibbons during a generously elongated middle section of the Tres Hombres classic. Gibbons stopped, stalking the stage while cupping both ears, eating up the applause before kicking back in to close the iconic ZZ Top cut. 'We've done a lot of rock and roll, some blues - now we're gonna do a country song,' said Gibbons to open the encore. 'A little Johnny Cash!'

More West in Chicago, IL Once again, the power of the Layton/Flanigin rhythm section was on full display throughout the country classic as Gibbons and company returned to the stage. Things turned raucous fast as Gibbons strummed in the intro to 'Brown Sugar.' Flanigin egged on the crowd, who clapped along early, before wrapping up with 'Thunderbird.' 'I said, 'Lock that door! We can't leave yet!'' quipped Billy Gibbons as the evening entered its final moments. 'We're in Chicago!' said the engaging frontman to rapturous applause. 'That's right,' nodded the guitarist in agreement.

Pierce Co. Sheriff seeking burglars of guns, paintings from storage units in Frederickson
The Pierce County Sheriff's Office is looking for two suspects who broke into a Glacier West Self Storage location about a month ago, according to a post on Facebook from Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County. The burglary occurred at 3 a.m. on Feb. 14 when two men, both about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, allegedly broke into two storage units at the facility, located at 5706 160th St. E. in unincorporated Pierce County, according to the post. One of the suspects was wearing Nike Air Max 90's Essentials shoes. The suspects reportedly carried off 'numerous firearms and various ammunition,' and 'nearly a dozen collectable Park West paintings,' the post said. Park West Gallery is a large art dealer that often hosts art auctions on cruise ships, and at fine hotels and galleries, according to the organization's website. The post also said the two men were driving a white Ford F-150 truck without a tailgate or visible license plates. The post requests tips via the P3 Tips app, website or phone at 1-800-222-TIPS, offering a reward of up to $1,000 'for information that leads to arrest and charges filed.'
