A proposed development in Fort Pierce is set to enhance community living with plans for a functional gathering space and aesthetic improvements. During the recent Planning Board meeting, board members discussed the site plan, emphasizing the importance of retaining open space while providing amenities for residents.

One board member suggested incorporating a pond at the front of the development, envisioning it as a serene spot for residents to enjoy. The idea is to create a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle, promoting a peaceful environment. The design aims to push buildings closer to the street, preserving significant green space in the rear, which will include amenities and wetlands.

The buildings will comply with Florida building codes, ensuring safety and durability. An environmental impact statement related to the project has been made available for public review, allowing residents to understand the implications of the development better.

The board unanimously approved the application with seven conditions, marking a significant step forward for the project. As the community anticipates the development, it looks forward to the potential benefits of enhanced public spaces and improved living conditions.
