Quasi-Judicial Hearing - Review and approval of a Final Plat, with conditions, submitted by Property Owner(s) Premier Hospitality Inc. and Applicant, Richard Laventure, PE, to subdivide a 5.28 acre parcel of land into four (4) tracts, located at 6505 Metal Drive, Fort Pierce, FL.  The property is zoned General Commercial (C-3), Parcel: 2324-341-0002-000-3.

• In accordance with Chapter 18 of the City Code, the applicant is requesting the approval of a Final Plat for the proposed Premier Subdivision, located at 6505 Metal Drive.
• The parcel currently contains a 4-Story, 41,000 Square Foot Comfort Suites Hotel and a private segment of Reynolds Drive which connects Crossroads Parkway to Metal Drive.
• The proposal seeks to separate two tracts from the Comfort Suites site for future commercial development, retaining a roadway tract to maintain a segment of Reynolds Drive.
• Sidewalks exist along both sides of Reynolds Drive and in front of Comfort Suites along Metal Drive. Proposed Tract 2, abutting Metal Drive, is undeveloped and does not feature a sidewalk.

1) The final plat incorporates the necessary corrections, and is inspected, as identified by the City's represented reviewing surveyor, Greg Fleming, PSM, in the attached memo dated July 25th, 2017, prior to certification.
2) The applicant files a surety for the remaining sidewalk connection along Metal Drive prior to certification of the final plat, as required by City Code Sections 18-12 and 22-62 (b) & (d).
