Background:
This is a quasi-judicial item, please disclose any ex parte communication.
The 40 +/- acre subject site is located at the Southeast (SE) corner of Belle Terre Boulevard
and Citation Boulevard. The site is currently zoned General Commercial (COM-2) and was
platted as a commercial subdivision in January 2006, which was comprised of four large
irregular-shaped lots. The land has set vacant since that time.
Belle Terre Holdings, LLC purchased the property on December 1, 2021. Mark Goldschmidt,
Manager of Belle Terre Holdings, LLC has requested a rezoning from COM-2 to Belle Terre
Estates Master Planned Development (MPD) for a 275-unit platted townhome community with
a future 1.75 +/- acre commercial project located at the SE corner of Belle Terre Boulevard
and Citation Boulevard and a public dog park located just east of the commercial area.
The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property for a mixed-use project with the
intention of initially developing the 275 platted townhomes and later developing the 1.75 +/-
acre commercial parcel that would retain COM-2 uses, as more demand for commercial uses
occurs with additional rooftops being developed within the project and to the east along
Citation Boulevard. Citation Boulevard is currently under construction for an extension all the
way to Seminole Woods Boulevard which will provide future residents and neighboring
residents a quicker route on going to or returning from I-95. The expansion of Citation
Boulevard is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024.
The townhome community will have approximately 1497 s.f. interior townhomes with one-car
garages and typically have 1497 s.f. to 1663 s.f. exterior townhomes (end units) with one or
43
two-car garages on 275 platted lots. After several design revisions the project will meet Section
5.03.04.A.3. of the LDC that requires one-car garages for townhomes less than 1,500 s.f. and
two-car garages for townhomes 1,500 s.f. or larger. Interior lots are a minimum of 19 feet wide
by 90 feet deep while exterior lots are at least 22 feet wide by 90 feet deep.
The applicant is donating about 1.19 +/- acres of land for the City dog park as part of the
required public benefit of rezoning to an MPD. Once half of the townhomes have received a
Certificate of Occupancy the applicant has agreed to construct the public dog park. As
proposed, the MPD would allow the applicant to receive park impact fee credits for the actual
design and construction costs of the public dog park. The townhome community will also have
a private amenity center including clubhouse and pool that will be located in the northeast
corner of the MPD.
Public Participation: The applicant scheduled a neighborhood meeting at 5:30 p.m. at the
Hilton Garden Inn on July 10, 2023. All neighboring residents within 300 feet of the project’s
boundaries were invited by USPS First Class mail to this meeting. The applicant and staff
attended but none of the invited neighbors. Signs and new ads will be run 10-14 days prior to
each public hearing.
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB): The PLDRB reviewed this
application at its regularly scheduled meeting at 5:30 p.m. on July 19, 2023, and by a 7 – 0
vote, found it in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and recommended approval to City
Council subject to two conditions. No one from the public spoke regarding this project.
Recommended Action:
THE PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION BOARD RECOMMENDED
THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVE BELLE TERRE ESTATES MASTER PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT (MPD) - APPLICATION NO. 5302 SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO
CONDITIONS:
1. THE APPLICANT REVIEWS THE SITE PLAN TO SEE IF MORE PARKING CAN

This is a quasi-judicial item, please disclose any ex parte communication.
The new property owner wants to modify the Marina Village MPD Agreement, in order to
decrease the allowable commercial gross floor area from 160,500 s.f. to 103,000 s.f.,
increase allowable residential units from 663 to 1085, and modify some development
standards. The proposed changes would only affect Tracts 2 – 8, the 66.66 +/- acres located
east of Colbert Lane and north of Roberts Road. Tract 1 is not part of this MPD amendment,
and this proposal will not affect Tract 1’s development standards or its allowed 240 residential
units. Tract 1 is the 22.34 +/- acres of the MPD located west of Colbert Lane at the
intersection with Roberts Road.
The property owner also wants to modify development standards with the key ones described
below. Decrease the maximum building height from 95 feet to 60 feet on Tracts 2, 3, 5 and
7. Modify minimum garage requirements so only a one-car garage or architecturally
designed carport is required per for at least 30% of multi-family homes. Add a requirement
to provide at least one Level 2 (240-volt) electric vehicle-charging station for each residential
unit having a garage. Provide a 10’ wide Landscape Buffer Type “C” along the northern
property line where none was previously required. Reduce the minimum size of townhome
lots from 2,500 s.f. to 2,000 s.f. and width from 25 feet to 20 feet while allowing the height to
increase from 35’ to 45’. Added new dimensional standards for mixed use buildings with
commercial uses on the first floor and residential uses above those commercial uses.
138
Tract 1 was sold on May 26, 2021, to Colbert Lane Development, LLC, who recently received
a Development Order for a Technical Site Plan to construct a 240-unit luxury apartment
project. Lighthouse Palm Coast Holdings, LLC purchased Tracts 2 – 8 on October 10, 2022,
and on May 23, 2023, submitted a MPD amendment, in order to develop a high-density
mixed-use community oriented around the marina basin.
The owner of Tracts 2 – 8 (applicant) already has the environmental permits in place to
construct the marina basin on Tract 8 with 80 wet slips and on Tract 6 a building for dry
storage of 200 boats. Construction is expected within a few months once the applicant
secures building permits from the City to construct the sea walls. The applicant also wants
to start development of the residential and commercial portion of the MPD as depicted on the
Conceptual Master Plan. This would include up to 103,000 s.f. of commercial uses and 845
residential units on Tracts 2 – 7 that would be designed as a mixed-use project located with
a common architectural theme around the marina basin. The marina dry boat storage building
is not counted in the 103,000 s.f. of commercial entitlements.
Public Participation: The applicant held a neighborhood meeting at 6:00 p.m. at the Hilton
Garden Inn on July 12, 2023. All neighboring residents within 300 feet of the project’s
boundaries were invited by US Mail to this meeting. Ten neighbors along with the applicant’s
team and two City staff members attended. Signs along both Colbert Lane and Roberts Road
will be erected 14 days prior to each public hearing. Additionally, news ads will be run at least
10 days prior to each public hearing.
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board: The PLDRB reviewed this application at
its regularly scheduled meeting at 5:30 p.m. on July 19, 2023, and by a 7 – 0 vote, found it

The City has received State funding of approximately $18 million dollars in the current fiscal
year to fund the construction of a portion of a design plan the City completed in 2020 for the
widening of Old Kings Road north of Kings Way. The original design plan will need to be
modified to conform to the current Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
specifications. Plan modifications will include dividing the current design plan to fit the
assigned construction dollars and investigation of traffic signal warrants.
The project design scope will be an expansion of Old Kings Road from a two-lane roadway
into a four-lane roadway from Kings Way (north intersection) to Frontier Drive. The scope will
include replacement of the existing crossdrains (2) at the Big Mulberry Branch crossing (just
north of Frontier Drive) with concrete box culverts due to deterioration of the metal culverts.
Under existing contract (RFSQ-CD-CP-13-07), staff negotiated a scope and fee with DRMP,
Inc., the original plan designer, for an amount not-to-exceed $901,933.32. City staff has
determined that the cost for these services are reasonable and fair and are consistent with
these types of services for a project of this size and scope. Funds for this project are
budgeted in the Transportation Impact Fee Fund.

On March 24, 2016, City staff presented the Belle Terre Blvd./Pkwy. Corridor Intersection
Analysis Study to the City Council. This study outlined needed improvements to the Belle
Terre Blvd./Pkwy. to improve safety and operations along the corridor.
On June 6, 2017, City Council approved a work order for DRMP, Inc., design services to
incorporate improvements to eight intersections along Belle Terre Parkway.
On March 5, 2019, City Council approved a work order with DRMP, Inc., for additional
services for additional improvements needed at the intersection of Belle Terre Pkwy and East
Hampton to extend the existing left turn lane, an addition of a head wall at Royal Palms Pkwy
will reduce long term maintenance costs, and to be consistent with current Stormwater design
standards.
City Staff completed the Belle Terre Safety Improvement designs in 2019 which included
improvements to eight intersections along Belle Terre Parkway.
The city is in the process of receiving State Legislation funding with a Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) grant. After further evaluation of the current plans, it was determined
that a plan update to meet FDOT current standard is needed to secure the grant. This update
will also include design modifications to the Whiteview Parkway and Belle Terre Parkway, and
Royal Palms and Belle Terre Parkway intersections.
Under the existing contract (RFSQ-CD-19-70) staff negotiated a scope and fee not-to-exceed
$394,229 with DRMP, Inc. City staff has determined that the cost for the plan updates and

The Florida Division of Emergency Management (Division) announced the availability of
resiliency funding under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) as a direct result
of the Presidential Disaster Declaration for Hurricane Ian.
This funding helps communities implement measures to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to
people and property from natural hazards and their effects.
For Hurricane Ian, Flagler County will receive an estimated $2,777,857.03. The Local
Mitigation Strategy (LMS) Working Group, a stakeholder group comprised of various regional
officials, chooses multi-jurisdictional projects that promote resiliency and reduce hazards for
designated HMGP funding. Four projects were scored as a part of the City of Palm Coast’s
capital projects.
The City of Palm Coast will pursue HMGP funding, a competitive grant process for all four
projects. HMGP funds up to 75% of costs and requires a cost share of 25% from the City of
Palm Coast.
The following projects will be pursued for funding -
Stormwater Conveyance Improvements
Back-up Emergency Pumps for Lift Stations
PEP Panel Replacements
Palm Coast Wellfield Generators

D. Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure
To remain consistent with the City’s Stormwater Master Plan and to address drainage related
issues, the City wishes to expand the stormwater attenuation and treatment capacity of the
London Waterway. The project objective is to provide flood storage to reduce peak elevations
in the London Waterway, improve water quality in receiving waters with stormwater treatment,
and enhance the environment to support native fauna and flora, deliver an aesthetic project.
The project consists of construction of a 1-acre lake along with a corresponding storm sewer
for inflow and outflow structures and 4.2 acres of littoral zone.
On March 16, 2022, council approved a work order with DRMP, Inc., for engineering design
services for the London Waterway Expansion Project.
The project was originally estimated to cost approximately $4M. On October 19, 2022, staff
advertised this project (ITB-SWE-22-73) and received bids of $9M. The project was placed on
hold until it could be funded.
On November 8, 2022, council approved a cost-share agreement (contract#37938) with the
599
St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) in the amount of $904,500, toward
the estimated cost of construction $3,618,000.
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) will fund a portion of this project in the amount of
$6,128,471. Under this Act, funds may be used to make necessary improvements to water
and sewer infrastructure.
On March 1, 2023, staff advertised a request for qualifications (RFSQ-SWE-23-32) for
engineering services CEI services for the London Waterway Expansion. Staff negotiated a
scope and fee not-to-exceed $300,000 with DRMP, Inc. City staff has determined that the
costs for these services are reasonable and fair and are consistent with these types of
services for a project of this size and scope.
On May 17, 2023, staff advertised this project (ITB-SWE-23-43) and received two (2) bids.
City staff recommends awarding the contract to the low bidder Custom Built Construction,
Inc., of Fort Pierce, FL for $8,236,193.73.
This item is to approve the Contract with Custom Built Construction, Inc., in the amount of
$8,236,193.73, a contract with DRMP, Inc., for CEI services in a not-to-exceed amount of
$300,000, and a Project contingency in the amount of $701,945.27. Funds for this project are
budgeted in the 5 yr. Capital Improvement Budget.

UPDATED BACKGROUND FROM THE JUNE 8, 2023, WORKSHOP:
City Council received a presentation on this item at their June 8, 2023, Workshop Meeting.
There were no changes suggested to this item.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE JUNE 8, 2023, WORKSHOP:
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program started in 1974 in order to
provide funding for housing and community development. Activities or Programs funded by
CDBG funds must meet one of the following the National Objectives of the Program:
1) Benefit low- and moderate-income persons (LMI)
2) Prevent or eliminate slum or blight
3) Address urgent community development needs (Emergency)
As an entitlement community, the City of Palm Coast will be eligible to receive an annual
allocation from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Historically,
CDBG funds have been used for various community development activities such as:
• Housing Programs,
• Public Services (Limited to 15% of Grant),
• Public Infrastructure/Facilities (In Qualified Areas based on Census or benefits area
51% or greater LMI Area),
• Economic Development, and
• Planning/Administration/Monitoring of the Program (limited to 20% of allocation).
In the City of Palm Coast, CDBG funds have been used to fund the following activities:
648
• Housing rehabilitation of owner-occupied units,
• Financial assistance for first-time homebuyers,
• Public Services,
• Public Infrastructure (Multi-use paths), and
• Planning/Administration/Monitoring of the program.
In order to receive CDBG funds, an entitlement community is required to complete a
Consolidated Plan/Strategic Plan, and Annual Action Plan. The Consolidated Plan is
designed to provide a unified vision for community development actions to meet CDBG goals
of decent housing, suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities. The
Strategic Plan is an outlay of expected actions and programs to address City needs as
consistent with the national objectives and the Annual Action Plan describes the intended use
of CDBG funds over the coming year.
The City is to receive $463,637 in CDBG funds for FFY 2023 (FY 23/24). Consistent with prior
years, the following activities are proposed to be funded in the upcoming fiscal year:
• financial assistance to homeowners for home repairs,
• financial assistance for first-time homebuyers,
• provide grant opportunity for public service providers, and
• compliance activities for the CDBG program.
On June 29, 2023, the Citizens Advisory Task Force (the CDBG Advisory Board for City
Council), reviewed and made recommendations regarding the proposed allocation of CDBG
funds. The proposed allocation is as follows:
ACTIVITY Allocation
Housing Assistance Activities
Financial Assistance for Home Repair Owner- $259,092
Occupied Unit
First-time homebuyers Program $100,000
Public Service Activities
Public Service Grant Program (Max. 15% $69,545
of annual allocation)
Planning and Administration $35,000
TOTAL ALLOCATION FOR FFY-2023 (FY
2023/24) $463,637

Assessment Area and authorize the imposition of Nuisance Abatement Assessments to be
attached to the annual ad valorem tax bill sent by the County Tax Collector. On December 21,
2010, the City adopted Resolution 2010-168 signifying its intent to use the uniform collection
method to collect non-ad valorem assessments pursuant to Ordinance 2010-03.
On July 18, 2023, City Council adopted the Initial Assessment Resolution 2023-65 relating to
the Nuisance Abatement Special Assessment. Staff has prepared the Final Assessment Roll

Subject RESOLUTION 2023-XX APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH LASSITER
TRANSPORTATION GROUP (LTG) FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES TO
COMPLETE A TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE STUDY AND UPDATE THE
TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE SCHEDULE

4. Scope of Service
Background:
Impact fees are fees imposed on development for the purpose of accommodating a
development’s impact on public facilities or services (i.e., impact fees are collected to fund
capacity improvements, impact fees may not be used for maintenance projects such as
resurfacing of roadways, replacement of damaged traffic equipment, etc.). In addition to
Transportation Impact Fees, the City also levies impact fees for Parks & Recreation and Fire.
Other impact fees are levied for schools (levied by School District), law enforcement and
emergency medical services, and libraries (levied by Flagler County). Florida Statutes Chapter
163.31801, the Florida Impact Fee Act, governs the levying and collection of impact fees by
counties, municipalities, and special districts.
As recommended in the City’s Code of Ordinance, an update of the City’s Transportation Impact
Fee Study and Schedule should be completed every five years. It is important to note that the
impact fee schedule is updated annually based on the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) Construction Cost Index. The last update of the transportation impact fee study was
completed in 2018. The purpose of the five-year update is to ensure that impact generating
development does not pay more than its proportionate share for the costs of growth-induced
capital transportation improvements. The completion of a report is important in establishing that
there is an “essential nexus” or a link between the traffic generated by new development and
the need for additional improvements. Additionally, it needs to be established that the amount of
impact fee being collected is “roughly proportional” to the share of additional capital
improvement which can be attributed to new development. Essentially, a five-year review of the
impact fee rates is necessary to maintain a legally defensible impact fee schedule.
The five-year study will typically analyze the following for its impact on the transportation capital
improvement schedule:
• changes in capacity/facility needs (i.e., what roads and streets need to be widened),
711
• cost assumptions (i.e., ground truthing of actual construction cost for road projects),
• land use characteristics (i.e., where and what type of development is occurring), and
• projected growth (i.e., the amount of growth occurring within the city, this also considers
growth outside of city and its impact on city infrastructure).
In order to complete a new impact fee schedule, the City issued a Request for Statement of
Qualifications (RFSQ) to solicit consulting firms to complete the task. Lassiter Transportation
Group (LTG) submitted a response to the RFSQ. A Notice of Intent to Award (NOIA) was issued
to accept LTG. After negotiations, City staff and LTG have agreed on a scope of service to
complete a transportation impact fee study and update of the transportation impact fee schedule
for $152,357.10. In addition to completing the technical analysis to update the impact fee
schedule, LTG will provide technical analysis that will be used to update the Transportation
Element of the Comprehensive Plan to 2050.
The scope of service will include the completion of the following tasks:
I. Update and refinement of land uses
II. Development of Capacity Needs
III. Development of Capacity Improvements Schedule
IV. Update the Cost of Additional Roadway Capacity
V. Comparison of Impact Fee Schedules
VI. Review of Existing Ordinance
VII. Community Outreach, Public Participation and Collaboration with Stakeholders
At strategic points during the study, the consultant will provide findings at a City Council
workshop. Additionally, the consultant team will host a workshop with stakeholders and other
interested parties to gather input on the proposed update.

The City of Palm Coast Utility Department has identified the need for electrical parts, based on
the City’s standards and the proprietary aspects for lift stations within the wastewater collection
system. The Utility Department requires priority for replacement of parts and equipment for
repairs within the Utility Water and Wastewater System on an as-needed basis.
City staff is recommending piggybacking the OMNIA Kansas City, Missouri Contract (OMNIA
EV 2370.1) with Graybar Electric Company, Inc., for the purchase of electrical parts.
Piggybacking existing competitively bid contracts is advantageous since the pricing is generally
better than what the City could obtain on its own, and the City does not incur the expense and
delay of soliciting a bid.
City staff will purchase items on an as-needed basis upon City Council approved budgeted
funds.

The City of Palm Coast Public Works Facilities Maintenance and Utility Wastewater Pumping
divisions are seeking approval to piggyback the City of Casselberry, Florida’s Contract RFP #
2023-1027 with Alternative Power Solutions, Inc. for the scheduled maintenance and as-
needed repair work of the City's facilities' generators. The existing piggybacked contract with
the same vendor will expire on August 12th, 2023.
Benefits of Piggybacking:
Piggybacking the contract will allow the City of Palm Coast to maintain the generator
maintenance and repair service with the current vendor, which has been providing
satisfactory services. Piggybacking also offers the advantage of obtaining better pricing
compared to independently soliciting bids. By piggybacking on the existing contract, the City
of Palm Coast can continue to receive essential generator maintenance and repair services
while benefiting from competitive pricing and streamlined procurement processes.
Contract Details:
The piggybacked contract will be effective from the expiration of the current contract (August
12th, 2023) through August 12th, 2026. The underlying contract with Alternative Power
Solutions, Inc. is based on a per-unit price basis. Purchases will be made on an as-needed
basis using budgeted funds appropriated by the City Council.
Funding:
The Fiscal Year 2024 budget includes available funding in the City's Facilities Maintenance
and Utility Wastewater Pumping budgets to cover the costs of scheduled generator
958
maintenance and as-needed repairs. City staff estimates that the City will spend over
$50,000.00 annually under this piggyback contract.
