What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Businessman Steve Lockwood acquired the Merrywood house, a 7,300-square-foot Spanish-style home built in 1939, located in Winter Park. The city commission delayed a scheduled vote on splitting the 3.67-acre lot to allow time for City Attorney Kurt Ardaman and Planning & Zoning staff to work with Lockwood toward a compromise. Lockwood’s attorney stated that Lockwood was open to discussions, though he had initially said his plan involved tearing the house down without further delays.
