LUCIE THAT'S GOING TO DO WONDERFUL THINGS THROUGH SPORTS. IT'S ALREADY DOING IT. BUT YOU KNOW, I'M VERY EXCITED TO SEE SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ACTUALLY GOT TO TOUR IT AND SEE SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ALREADY. BUT I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MORE COMING DOWN THE LINE AS WELL AND I THINK THE ADDITION OF THE CAFETERIA IS CRITICAL.

THE -- HMM. FAST. THE REQUEST FOR APPROVAL FOR THE MAJOR SITE PLAN AMENDMENT IS TO CONSTRUCT A THREE-STORY SCHOOL FACILITY BUILDING WITH A ROOF DECK. ONE-STORY RECREATIONAL BUILDING, AND ADD SEVERAL COURTS AND FIELDS FOR THE SCHOOL AND TWO AMENITY BUILDINGS AND SHEDS ON SITE. THIS WILL ALSO ADD SEVERAL STRUCTURES EXISTING AND PLANNED TO THE RESORT AND SCHOOL. THE PROJECT IS 219.87 ACRES PUD. THAT INCLUDES A RESORT, SCHOOL, AND A MARINA. THE PROPERTY HAS OPEN SPACE RECREATIONAL, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, INSTITUTIONAL, LAND USE DESIGNATIONS, AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND PUD AMENDMENT WERE APPROVED TO PROVIDE THE PROPER LAND USE DESIGNATION AND A PUD UPDATES TO SUPPORT THE PROPOSED PROJECT. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED NORTH OF NORTH FOLK OF ST. LUCIE RIVER, SOUTH OF SOUTHEAST WESTMORELAND BOULEVARD BETWEEN WESTERN TERMINUS OF SOUTHEAST PINE VALLEY STREET AND EASTERN TERMINUS OF SOUTHEAST MORNINGSIDE BOULEVARD. THIS IS AN UPDATED LAYOUT OF THE, LET ME SEE. OF THE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS, AND THE PROJECT HAS THE PUD ZONING DESIGNATION.

THE PROJECT WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE PAVING AND DRAINAGE PLANS APPROVED FOR THE CHANGES BEING PROPOSED, AND UTILITIES ARE PROVIDED BY CITY OF PORT ST. LUCIE. THE WESTERN END OF THE PROJECT WHERE MOST OF THE COURTS AND FIELDS WERE BEING PROPOSED, AND THE SOCCER FIELDS WILL BE LOCATED TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROJECT. SO THIS IS A HIGHLIGHT OF MOST OF THE COURTS BEING PROPOSED. THE PROPOSED THREE-STORY BUILDING WITH THE ROOF DECK IS PROPOSED TO BE REPLACED AN EXISTING BUILDING SECTION THAT WILL BE DEMOLISHED SO THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF A BUILDING M WILL BE TORN DOWN AND THIS THREE-STORY BUILDING WILL BE BUILT. AND THE SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN AT THE JANUARY 14th, 2026 SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE.

THIS SATURDAY I'LL GET TO THE CITIZENS SUMMIT LAST, I WENT TO THE CHILDREN'S FAIR THAT THE ACTON ACADEMY AND THE PSL BUSINESS CLUB PUT ON. THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR THEY HAD IT IN TRADITION IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. THEY MUST'VE HAD 40 BOOTHS WITH CHILD OR KID ENTREPRENEURS FROM AGE 5 TO 18. COUNCIL I REALLY THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD GET INTO SPONSORING, AND LET THEM HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF AND SPECIAL EVENTS BECAUSE WHEN I TELL YOU IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE ALL THESE KIDS, SOME OF THEM SOLD THEIR ART, SOME OF THEM HAD CRAFTS, YOU KNOW, OTHER TYPES OF BUSINESSES, FOOD BUSINESSES, AND I REALLY THINK THAT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO PARTNER WITH THEM TO PROMOTE ALL THESE GREAT KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO REALLY WANT TO BE ENTREPRENEURS AND THEY HAD AWARDS THAT THEY GAVE US, SO IF THERE IS A WAY WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO PARTNER, THAT WOULD BE REALLY WONDERFUL. AND YES, I ALSO ATTENDED THE DDS FOR VETS GALA TPO LAST WEEK. BUTCH POST'S BIRTHDAY WAS AMAZING. SHE IS A TRUE PIONEER WOMAN IN PORT ST. LUCIE. AND STEPHANIE YOU WERE HILARIOUS, SO IT WAS, IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR SOME OF THE STORIES, ALL OF THE STORIES ACTUALLY. SOME OF THEM WERE VERY, VERY TOUCHING. SO ALSO CITIZEN SUMMIT I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN PICK PICKETT ITS SO MUCH BETTER AS FAR AS FLOW. DID HAVE A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT THAT. THE CITIZENS I SPOKE TO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I TRIED TO GO AROUND, AND IT TOOK ME LIKE ALMOST TWO HOURS BECAUSE I HAD PEOPLE STOPPING ME LEFT AND RIGHT ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVED THE SUMMIT. SO MANY REPEATERS THAT CAME YEAR AFTER YEAR, AND THEY SAY IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER EACH YEAR. NICE TO SEE OUR AMBASSADORS OUT THERE TALKING TO EVERYBODY. THAT WAS WONDERFUL. BUT LIKE I SAID IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTED TO STOP AND TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY LIKE EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY, HOW MUCH THEY ENJOY INTERACTING WITH STAFF, SO THAT WAS REALLY AWESOME. AND ALSO WE HAD TWO REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, AND THIS IS THE SECOND CITY THAT HAS COME TO US IF YOU REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE HAD COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, AND THIS YEAR WE HAD BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, WHO WANT TO SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING TO REPLICATE AND BRING IT BACK HOME TO THEIR CITY, AND TO REPLICATE THE CITIZENS SUMMIT. SO YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT BEING ON THE VANGUARD AND TRACTION ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THROUGH BLOOMBERG AND THE PARTNERSHIPS IS JUST AMAZING, AND I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE MORE CITIES WANTING TO FOLLOW IN OUR FOOT STEPS AND PUT ON THESE SUMMITS FOR THEIR RESIDENTS, BUT YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S ALL ABOUT SHAPING OUR CITY'S FUTURE. IT'S ALL ABOUT HEARING AND LISTENING. AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH IS BUILT BASED ON WHAT OUR RESIDENTS WANTS AND NEEDS ARE. SO IT WAS REALLY WONDERFUL TO SEE THAT. AND LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR AS ALWAYS. SO AND WITH THAT, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
