Executive Summary (General Business): An application for preliminary and final subdivision plat approval for Southern Grove Plat No. 45. Southern Grove Plat No. 45 is a replat of Southern Grove Plat No. 43 that is located in the area of Southern Grove known as Legacy Park between SW Hegener Drive and the Marshall Parkway right-of-way. Southern Grove Plat No. 43 created the tracts for the extension of SW Sansone Sr Boulevard from SW Hegener Drive north to Marshall Parkway, a proposed east-west roadway to be known as St. Louis Drive, the parcels for three economic development projects known as Project Apron, Project Green, and Project Suburban, four water management tracts and three tracts of land for future development. Project Apron and Project Green did not move forward and there is a new development plan proposed for this area that is known as Project Everest. To accommodate Project Everest, a replat is required to reconfigure parcel lines and roadway tracts.
Southern Grove Plat No. 45 revises the proposed alignment for the extension of SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard from SW Hegener Drive north to Marshall Parkway to align the roadway further to the west. The parcel lines for St. Louis Drive, Project Apron, Project Green, and Tract BP-1 are removed and a 192.50-acre parcel known as Lot 1 is created for Project Everest. Southern Grove Plat No. 45 creates three water management tracts and two tracts for future development adjacent to Village Parkway (Lot 2 - 32.76 acres and Lot 3 - 19.49 acres). The submittal packet includes the construction plans for the extension of SW Anthony S. Sansone SR Boulevard and the extension of SW Hegener Drive. The submittal packet does not include the street tree landscape plans for either roadway. These plans are still under design. As a condition of approval, staff is recommending the landscape plans for both roadways be submitted and approved by the Site Plan Review Committee prior to the issue of the Public Works Department’s site development permit.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the preliminary and final subdivision plat as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee based on the following condition:
1. The street tree planting plans for the extension of SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard and the extension of SW Hegener Drive be submitted and approved by the Site Plan Review Committee prior to the issuance of the Public Works Department’s site development permit.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the preliminary and final subdivision plat subject to the condition noted above.
2. Move that the Council not approve the subdivision plat and provide staff direction.
Background: The Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of the proposed preliminary and final subdivision plat at the October 11, 2023 Site Plan Review Committee meeting.
Issues/Analysis: Southern Grove Plat No. 45 adds back the road right-of-way for the extension of SW Hegener Drive east to the Duda Canal that was removed with Southern Grove Plat No. 43. The right-of-way for the extension of SW Hegener Drive was included in the sale of the Project Suburban site (Lot, Southern Grove Plat No. 43) to Chill Build PSL, Inc. The acreage, approximately 3.71 acres, will need to be deeded to the City of Port St. Lucie for the road to be constructed. The City Attorney’s Office has prepared a proposed conveyance agreement that requires Chill Build PSL, Inc. to deed the land to the City within 120 days of the recording of the subdivision plat. To date, the agreement has not been executed.
Financial Information: N/A
Special Consideration: There is an associated application for site plan approval for Project Everest (P23-168) that is scheduled for the December 4, 2023 City Council meeting.
Location of Project: The property is generally located west of Interstate 95, north of Becker Road, east of SW Village Parkway, north of SW Hegener Drive and south of the Marshall Parkway Road Right-of-Way.
