2. Move that the Council not approve the Ordinance and provide staff direction.
Background: The property located south of the proposed Wawa convenience store and fuel pump station (P22-005) on the southwest corner of Becker Rd and Port St Lucie Blvd is a drainage pond described as Tract L, Port St. Lucie Section Thirty-Three, as recorded in Plat Book 15, Page 1, of the Public Records of St. Lucie County, Florida. This pond is owned by the City of Port St. Lucie. As part of the Wawa Florida, LLC project, the site’s drainage design identifies a drainage outfall pipe from the Wawa parcel into the City’s pond that is located within Tract L. A drainage easement will be required for the construction and maintenance of the proposed drainage connection from the Wawa parcel to the City’s drainage pond. Wawa has therefore requested the City provide a drainage easement to facilitate construction and maintenance of the proposed drainage pipe into the City’s pond.
Issues/Analysis: Wawa Florida, LLC has identified the drainage facilities at the rear of their property leading into the City’s Pond at the corner of Becker Rd and Port St. Lucie Blvd and has requested the City provides a drainage easement leading into the pond so they can maintain the drainage facilities. The drainage easement was evaluated by Wawa Florida, LLC, the Public Works Department and City Attorney Office.
Financial Information: There will be no cost incurred by the City.
Special Consideration: The proposed Drainage Easement to Wawa Florida, LLC will facilitate the access to maintain drainage at the corner of Becker Rd and Port St. Lucie Blvd in the rear of Wawa’s project.
Location of Project: SW corner of SW Becker Rd and SW Port St Lucie Blvd.
