Background: In early 2023, the GFC entered into a tri-party Traffic Signal Agreement with the City of Port St. Lucie and Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC. The agreement stipulates certain improvements to be made by the landowners within Southern Grove as certain traffic thresholds were met. One of those improvements is a traffic signal identified at Becker Road and Limpkin Lane (fka N/S 1). Due to existing underground utilities in the area, the traffic signal design requires a mast arm upright be installed north of the Becker Road right-of-way on GFC owned land. The location of the mast arm upright will be located within the right-of-way of the future plat of N/S 1 north of Becker Road.
Issues/Analysis: The easement provides for the installation, access to, modification, maintenance and repair of the traffic signal improvements.
Financial Information: There is no financial impact for accepting the easement.
Special Consideration: N/A
Location of Project: The easement is located north of the intersection of Becker Road and Limpkin Lane.
