body

Strategic Plan Link: The City's Goal of high-quality infrastructure and facilities.
Executive Summary (General Business): Conveyance of property and public utility easement from Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, for space needed for future signalization and the installation, operation, maintenance, report, expansion and replacement of utilities, both public and private along the Becker Road right-of-way at the intersection with Community Blvd.
Presentation Information: Staff is available for any questions.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the Resolution authorizing the acceptance of a Special Warranty Deed and Public Utility Easement from Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, for the Becker Road Right-of-Way construction.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the Resolution authorizing the acceptance of a Special Warranty Deed and Public Utility Easement from Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, for the Becker Road Right-of-Way construction.
2. Move that the Council not approve and provide staff direction.
Background: In order to provide space for future intersection improvements, the City requires that property owners at intersections Deed to the City a corner clip of their property. Along Becker Road west of Village Parkway and along Community Blvd. north of Becker Road, the typical section includes a 10’ Public Utility Easement (PUE) running along just outside of the Right-of-way as part of the platted Becker Road Right-of-way. The purpose of the 10’ PUE is to provide a location for all public utilities to be located outside of the City of Port St. Lucie Water, Sewer and Reuse facility locations. After adding the needed corner clips of Right-of-way at the Northeast and Southeast corners of the Becker Road and Community Blvd intersection, this PUE is also needed to provide sufficient easement space around the intersection.
Issues/Analysis: This segment of property will complete the right-of-way needed for future intersection improvements. This PUE will allow utilities to remain outside of the right-of-way with less interaction with City infrastructure.
Financial Information: There is no cost to the City.
Special Consideration: This property and easement is essential for the completion of the Becker Road Final plats that will be coming before you in early 2024.
Location of Project: Becker Road near intersection with Community Blvd.
