REQUESTED BY: Evans Land Consulting, Jeff Evans
PRESET:
PROCEDURES: Quasi-Judicial
BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
This is a request for the First Amendment to the Cove Royale Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zoning Agreement including a revised master site plan and phasing plan. Final site plan approval for Phase 1 of the project has also been requested. The PUD Zoning Agreement including a master and final site plan was approved on March 26, 2019. The applicant is requesting revised master site plan approval with phasing of the 118 single family detached residential units. The proposed Phase 1 final site plan consists of 81 single family units on the western protion of the site. The project is situated on an approximate 97 acre parcel located on the south side of SE Cove Road approximately 1.75 miles west of US Highway 1 in Stuart. Included with this application is a request for a Certificate of Public Facilities Reservation for Phase 1.
The projects’ buildout would have a density of 1.22 units per acre. On November 14, 2017, a future land use designation change was approved by the Martin County Board of County Commissioners for the property to change the existing land use of Rural Density, one unit per two acres to Residential Estate density, allowing up to two units per acre.
The property has approximately 35 acres of wetlands. The upland vegetation consists mostly of Pine Scrub land. The parcel borders the Seabranch State Preserve lands to the south. The proposed project is within the Primary Urban Services Boundary and water and waste water services will be provided by Martin County Utilities.
Public benefits proposed by the applicant in the PUD Zoning Agreement and remaining unchanged include a sidewalk connecting the development to the Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School located about 1,800 feet to the west on Cove Road and the donation of a passenger van to the Good Samaritan House for Boys. The donation of the passenger van has been completed.
