BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
Hobe Sound Townhouse II, LLC has requested approval of the Hobe Sound Courtyards plat. Hobe Sound Courtyards is a 20-lot residential townhome development on approximately 6.42 undeveloped acres in Hobe Sound. The property is located between US Highway One to the west and SE Dixie Highway to the east. Included with this application is a request for a Certificate of Public Facilities Exemption.
The property is in the Hobe Sound Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) . On June 16, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved land use and zoning changes for the Hobe Sound CRA. The Future land use for the project is now CRA Neighborhood and the zoning subdistrict is Multi-family.
Access to the property is proposed via Algozzini Place that borders the southern property line. Secondary access is proposed by SE Kingsley Street to the north which is a platted right-of-way and was recently added to the County inventory of open roads.
A 1.63-acre preserve is proposed as the site is vegetated with sand pine scrub. Potable water, sanitary sewer and irrigation water is to be supplied by South Martin Regional Utilities (SMRU).
Final site plan approval was received on May 20, 2020. The site has been under construction and the infrastructure is near completion. SE Kingsley Road was improved and opened as part of the development order process.

Move that the Board approve the Plat for Hobe Sound Courtyards including the Contract for Construction of Required Improvements and Infrastructure.
