Summary
The commission authorized several property purchases, a drainage easement and a commitment to fund operations and maintenance in support of the planned Pembroke Road widening and extension from Dykes Road to U.S. 27, and approved related agreements with the South Broward Drainage District.
The Pembroke Pines City Commission on Wednesday approved a series of land purchases, a drainage easement and a resolution committing future operations and maintenance funding to support the Pembroke Road widening and extension project.
What passed: Commissioners authorized negotiated acquisitions of several parcels tied to the planned Pembroke Road extension, approved a drainage easement agreement with the South Broward Drainage District, and adopted a resolution committing city funding for operations and maintenance after project completion.
Key approvals and parcels: - A negotiated purchase from Windmill Reserve Homeowners Association for approximately $1.5 million to secure property generally on the north side of the future Pembroke Road extension near SW 190th Avenue. - A negotiated acquisition from the estate of Robert Glaccum and related parties for properties including the parcel at 900 SW 190th Avenue for $4,750,000 and an additional parcel at a stated per‑acre price (agenda backups cite $501,054 per acre for another Glaccum parcel). - A drainage easement agreement with the South Broward Drainage District to enable the irrigation/drainage components of the Pembroke Road expansion project. - A resolution committing the city to fund the operations and maintenance costs for the widened/extended Pembroke Road when the project is completed.
Why it matters: The land purchases and drainage easement are required to construct the roadway and associated stormwater infrastructure. Commissioners and staff said securing property now supports FDOT and county planning and allows the city to coordinate utilities and drainage work ahead of construction.
Timing: Staff advised the commission the project is expected to begin construction in 2026 with completion targeted by 2031; the city’s commitment to operations and maintenance would take effect after project completion.
Votes: The acquisition and easement resolutions passed unanimously. City staff said the purchases are subject to the purchase‑and‑sale agreements included in the meeting packet.
What comes next: City staff will complete closing on the parcels and record the drainage easement; the city will continue coordinating with FDOT, the South Broward Drainage District and other partners on right‑of‑way, design and construction timing.
