Executive Summary (General Business): The Port St. Lucie Governmental Finance Corporation (GFC) has applied for preliminary and final subdivision plat approval with construction plans for a project known as Southern Grove Plat No. 35. Southern Grove Plat No. 35 is a replat of Parcel 31, Southern Grove Plat No. 3 and Tract A, Southern Grove Plat No. 33 for a total of 655.805 acres, more or less. The replat creates five tracts for future development and two right-of-way tracts.
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 recommended approval of the proposed subdivision plat at a special meeting of the Sie Plan Review Committee on April 7, 2021.
Issues/Analysis: The subdivision plat provides for the construction of Paar Drive east to SW Anthony F. Sansone SR Boulevard (fka Hegener Drive) and the extension of SW Anthony F. Sansone SR Boulevard to Paar Drive. SW Anthony F. Sansone SR Boulevard is currently under construction from Becker Road north to the northern driveway of the proposed Fed Ex distribution facility. With this subdivision plat, the road will be extended to connect to Paar Drive.
The construction plans do not include construction of Paar Drive east of SW Anthony F. Sansone SR Boulevard. In coordination with Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, the GFC has submitted applications for a comprehensive plan amendment (P20-256) and an amendment to the Southern Grove DRI (P21-12) that propose the deletion of the Paar Drive overpass as a required transportation improvement in the conditions of approval for the Southern Grove DRI and other changes. If these applications are approved and the overpass is deleted from the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the Southern Grove DRI, Paar Drive would not need to be extended to I-95.
The GFC has a submitted a request for an exception to the Subdivision Code pursuant to Section 156.023. Section 156.023 provides for the City Council to have the power to grant exceptions from the requirements for subdivision approval as may be reasonable if the literal enforcement of one (1) or more provisions of the Subdivision Code is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question. The request is to waive the requirement for construction plans and a performance bond or letter of credit for construction of the eastern portion of Paar Drive from SW Anthony F. Sansone SR Boulevard east to Interstate 95.
