Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to plan for smart and balanced growth.
Executive Summary (General Business): Culpepper and Terpening, Inc., acting as the agent for the City of Port St. Lucie and the Port St. Lucie Governmental Finance Corporation (GFC), has submitted an application for preliminary and final subdivision plat approval for a project known as Southern Grove Plat No. 38. Southern Grove Plat No. 38 is a replat of Tract B, Tract C, and Paar Drive as shown on Southern Grove Plat No. 35. Southern Grove Plat No. 35 was a replat of GFC owned land and city owned right-of-way in the area of Southern Grove generally referred to as Legacy Park. Southern Grove Plat No. 35 created five tracts for future development including the Project Senior parcel. It provided for the platting and construction of the extension of SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard from the Fed Ex distribution facility north to Paar Drive (E/W 4), the platting of Paar Drive from SW Village Parkway to Interstate 95, and plans for the construction of Paar Drive from SW Village Parkway to SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Blvd. No construction plans were submitted for the segment of Paar Drive from SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard to Interstate 95 because that segment of roadway was proposed for deletion from the Southern Grove DRI.
Proposed Southern Grove Plat No. 38 replats approximately 454.954 acres to create a 53.66 acre tract (Tract A-proposed Cheney Brothers distribution facility site) and a 378.65 acre tract (Tract B) for future development. It provides for the replatting of Paar Drive from SW Village Parkway to SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Blvd. As shown on the proposed plat, Paar Drive will terminate at SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Blvd.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council adopt the resolution as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and adopt the resolution.
2. Move that the Council not adopt the resolution and provide staff direction.
Background: The Site Plan Review Committee reviewed the request and recommended approval of the proposed preliminary and final subdivision plat at the October 13, 2021 Site Plan Review Committee meeting.
Issues/Analysis: On November 8, 2021, the City Council approved the 8th amendment to the Southern Grove DRI (Res. 21-R136). It removed the requirement for a proposed Paar Drive/I-95 overpass and the segment of Paar Drive from SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard to Interstate 95 from the Southern Grove DRI. This application replats the acreage previously designated for road right-of-way. The acreage is now included proposed Tract A.
The City Attorney’s Office has prepared an ordinance, Ordinance 21-122, that authorizes the abandonment of the previously designated road right-of-way for Paar Drive from SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard to Interstate 95 and conveyance of the land to the GFC. The second reading of Ordinance 21-122 is scheduled for the December 6, 2021 City Council meeting.
Financial Information: N/A
Special Consideration: There are no infrastructure improvements associated with Southern Grove Plat No. 38. The construction of Paar Drive from SW Village Parkway to SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard is a bonded improvement under Southern Grove Plat No. 35 (Res. 21-R57).
Location of Project: The property is generally located west of Interstate 95, north of Becker Road, east of south SW Village Parkway, and south of the E/W #3 (Marshall Parkway) right-of-way.
