Sarasota News Leader December 20, 2013 60-year-old cafeteria and kitchen this summer. The Sarasota County School Board will start Phase One by creating a new parking lot and temporarily relocating the playground. Serious work then will get under way to erect a new building to house the kitchen and cafeteria with a stage at one end to create a "cafetorium." Afterward, the old cafeteria will be demolished and the playground moved to a permanent location.

None of this requires a building permit, but school district officials will keep city staff apprised and comply with all appropriate building codes, they said at the DRC meeting. Project Manager Ernie DuBose hopes all the work will be finished by October 2015.% The Sarasota Gulfstream project will go up next to One Watergate on Gulfstream Avenue. Photo by Norman Schimmel
