Loading...
Summary
The Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency approved four consent items: two façade grant time‑extensions (207 and 510 Orange Ave), an interlocal agreement for a JC Park water‑tank mural, and a surplus property sale for 708 N. 18th Street; each resolution passed on roll call with affirmative votes recorded.
At its April 14 meeting the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency approved a cluster of consent and quasi‑administrative items by roll call.
The board approved Resolution 26‑04, a third amendment extending the time for completion of a commercial façade improvement at 207 Orange Avenue to July 10 to allow the recipient additional time to secure permits and complete ADA‑related window and door work. Staff described the grant as a reimbursable grant with the recipient responsible for up‑front costs and subsequent reimbursement.
Resolution 26‑05 approved a first amendment to a grant agreement for a commercial façade improvement at 510 Orange Avenue (owner Bunwin Inc.) to allow six months—through Sept. 9—to obtain conditional use approvals and building permits tied to converting the space to an education facility. Staff advised the project recently received a planning‑board recommendation and will be scheduled before the city commission in May.
The board then approved Resolution 26‑07, an interlocal agreement with the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority to install a community mural on the JC Park water tank; staff said the artwork will follow a waterfront/playground theme and explicitly will not be an advertisement for FPUA.
Finally, Resolution 26‑08 authorized a surplus‑property sale agreement and amended deed for 708 North 18th Street; staff explained the lot is too small for the duplex the grantee originally planned, so the agreement was revised to require construction of a single‑family dwelling and to preserve the recorded milestones and enforcement terms.
All consent items were moved, seconded and approved by roll call vote during the meeting; minutes record affirmative votes by the commissioners present. The board gave brief Q&A on the façade projects and instructed staff to confirm permit timelines and conditions and to proceed with contract documentation as appropriate.
