Becker Road at Riverland Preliminary Subdivision Plat with construction plans provides for the platting and construction of Becker Road from west of the Becker Road/ SW Community Boulevard intersection to the west side of the intersection of Becker Road and N/S B. The application was submitted by Riverland Development Company, LLC, pursuant to the approved construction agreement between the City of Port St. Lucie and Riverland/Kennedy II, LLC.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the preliminary plat application as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the preliminary plat application
2. Move that the Council not approve the preliminary plat application and provide staff direction
Background: The Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of the preliminary plat with construction plans at the August 24, 2022 Site Plan Review Committee meeting.
Issues/Analysis: On February 14, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 22-R27 approving Becker Road construction agreements with ACR Acquisition, LLC, Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, and Riverland/Kennedy II, LLC. ACR Acquisition, LLC, is the developer of the Wilson Groves DRI. Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, is the developer of the Southern Grove DRI and Riverland/Kennedy II, LLC, is the developer of the Riverland Kennedy DRI. The City, ACR Acquisition, LLC, Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, and Riverland/Kennedy II, LLC are parties to the Southwest Annexation Agreement dated July 19, 2004, as amended. Pursuant to the annexation agreement, different developers were required to pay to the City the estimated cost of construction of certain two-lane roadway segments of Becker Road or, at the City’s election, contract for the construction and design of such roadway. As set forth in the construction agreements, each developer is responsible for the platting and construction of a portion of Becker Road.
Financial Information: N/A
Special Consideration: Preliminary plat approval will allow the developers to begin earthwork, drainage improvements and construction of the roadway base. Street tree landscape plans will be submitted with the final construction plans and final plat. The City has contracted with a landscape architectural firm to prepare a landscape design for Becker Road to ensure coordination between the three construction projects. Once the design is complete, the developers will be able to prepare their landscape plans and submit 100 percent construction plans for final subdivision plat approval.
Location of Project: The subject property is city owned public right-of-way for the extension of Becker Road in the City’s southwest annexation area. The right-of-way is generally located between the SW Community Blvd road right-of-way and the N/S B road right-of-way.
