FIRST SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN TOWN CENTER APPROVED
Town Center’s first single-family residential development won the Palm Coast City Council’s approval with a unanimous council vote in favor of the development’s final plat on Oct. 19. The development, called the Gables at Town Center, will be built by Paytas Homes and consist of 208 houses on approximately 125 acres just south of Royal Palms Parkway, west of Lake Avenue. “It’s been a really long time since we’ve had a final plat come before city council,” city Deputy Chief Development Officer Ray Tyner noted in a presentation about the development at the Oct. 19 council meeting. Developers laid the infrastructure for residential development in Town Center around 2004, Tyner said. The community will have three entrances: one on Lake Avenue, plus two more on roads that have not yet been built. Construction is already underway. The homes will be on 50-foot-wide lots. The community will not be gated.

The council approved a Future Land Use Map amendment, rezoning, and impact fee prepayment agreement for the development with 4-1 votes Oct. 19. Councilman Victor Barbosa cast the dissenting vote, saying he believed that the lot size range for the development includes lots that are too small. The lowest single-family-detached lot size would be 4,800 square feet, while townhome lots would be 2,000 square feet.

DeSantis touts Florida ports amid supply chain delays With the White House saying incremental progress has been made in alleviating the bottleneck in the global supply chain, Gov. Ron DeSantis took another swipe Tuesday, Oct. 19, at the Biden administration as he pitched using Florida ports for cargo ships logjammed in California. “We’re here. We have capacity,” DeSantis said of Florida’s 15 ports and related transportation infrastructure during an appearance at Jacksonville’s JAXPORT. DeSantis, who has made a hallmark of challenging the White House on a variety of issues, highlighted state spending on roads, ports, rail infrastructure and workforce training during Tuesday’s appearance, along with touting incentives packages offered by state ports to try to entice shipping companies to reroute operations. “We have to make sure people can go Christmas shopping as normal. We have to make sure that all the necessities are there,” DeSantis said. “And if it’s because ships are sitting off the coast somewhere else, and they can be rerouted here, and we can get all those shelves stocked, then we want to be a part of that solution.” Send letters to editor@palmcoastobserver.com.
