connect to the development’s internal sidewalks as a means of passive recreation in effort to
provide a public benefit for the proposed amendment. The applicant also agreed via email to
provide a one-foot non-vehicular access easement along the south of their property during
the platting process via email.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE FEBRUARY 3, 2026, BUSINESS MEETING:
Request: James Stowers, Esquire, as agent for CP and HG Residential Lots LLC (a
subsidiary of ICI Homes), is proposing to amend the CP and HG Residential Lots LLC MPD.
The proposed MPD Amendment would:
• Increase residential entitlements from the existing 58 dwelling units to 71 units,
resulting in an increase of 13 dwelling units.
• Reduce the minimum lot size of 8,250 square feet to 5,500 square feet.
• Reduce the minimum internal lot width from 60 feet to 50 feet and reduce the
minimum lot width on the north and west perimeter lots from 80 feet to 60 feet.
• Reduce the minimum side interior building setback from 7.5 feet to 5 feet and the
minimum side street setback from 15 feet to 10 feet.
As this MPD is resultant of a Settlement Agreement, the request also amends the maximum
number of residential units the MPD may have from 58 dwelling units to 71 units and
replaces the attached concept plan with the updated proposed concept plan.
Background: The City adopted the 2020 Comprehensive Plan on April 6, 2004, which
redesignated the land from Flagler County Residential-Low Density (which allowed 1-3
units/acre) to City Greenbelt (which allows 1 unit/acre). The pending property owner at that
time (MHK of Volusia, Inc., a subsidiary of ICI Homes) filed a challenge to the state’s
Department of Community Affairs on June 29, 2004. The litigation was filed with the Division
of Administrative Hearings, Case # 04-2265GM. In June 2009, MHK of Volusia County Inc.
transferred ownership to the current owner CP and HG Residential Lots LLC (another
subsidiary of ICI Homes). Based on the outcome of that challenge, CP and HG Residential
Lots LLC and the City reached a Settlement Agreement (attached) that is dated March 20,
2012. This agreement resulted in a land swap to protect existing wetlands, a rezoning, and
limited the residential entitlements for the land to 58 dwelling units. The property was
rezoned to MPD on the same day as the Settlement Agreement and the Development
Agreement is attached.
If City Council approves the requested MPD Amendment, an amendment to the Settlement
Agreement will be necessary. Section 11 allows for amendment to the Settlement
Agreement based on mutual consent of CP and HG Residential Lots LLC and the City of
Palm Coast. The draft Settlement Agreement and Development Agreements have been
attached as part of the overall agenda item.
Project Description: The property owner requests to increase the residential density from 58
dwelling units (DU) to 71 DU, which is an increase of 13 DU (or 22.4 percent). The existing
gross density of the property owner’s land is 1.56 DU per acre. The requested increase
would create an overall gross density of 1.91 DU per acre.
The existing MPD DA requires the northerly and westerly perimeter lots to have an 80-foot
lot width by a 110-foot depth, while internal lots are allowed a 60-foot lot width by a 110-foot
depth. The request to modify perimeter lot width to 60 feet and internal lot width to 50 feet
results in lots that are 25 and 16.7 percent narrower than currently allowed, respectively.
The reduction in internal and side street setbacks (7.5 and 15 feet respectively) to five feet
and 10 feet result in a narrowing of spacing between the proposed residences of 33.33
percent and places corner lots the same 33.33 percent closer to a side street.
Public Participation: The applicant hosted a neighborhood meeting as required by LDC
Section 2.05.02 at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday November 20, 2025, in the conference room of the
Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. The applicant also met the public notice requirements of LDC
Section 2.05.03. 47 members of the public signed the sign-in sheet for the neighborhood
meeting hosted by the applicant. City staff attended to be on-site to address process related
questions and counted approximately ±55 individuals, not including the three representatives
from the developer and City staff. Documentation summarizing the neighborhood meeting
has been attached to the agenda item. Staff additionally received two emails from the public
requesting access to application materials on November 5, 2025, which staff provided on the
same day. Staff has not received further public participation at this time.
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board: The Planning and Land Development
Regulation Board reviewed this application at its regularly scheduled meeting at 5:30 PM on
December 17th, 2025, and unanimously found it out of compliance with the Comprehensive
Plan and recommended denial to the City Council.
Recommended Action:
THE CITY COUNCIL MAY DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED MPD AMENDMENT
(APPLICATION NO. 6302) IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
APPROVE THE APPLICATION OR DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED MPD
AMENDMENT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND DENY
THE APPLICATION.

The primary driver for the rehabilitation of Master Pump Station 37-4 (Matanzas Master) is
the deterioration of critical wet well structural and mechanical components due to age and
prolonged exposure to corrosive wastewater conditions. The existing wet well liner, floor,
and pump mounting hardware have reached the end of their useful life, resulting in
increased maintenance demands and reduced system reliability.
This rehabilitation project is intended to extend the service life of the pump station, improve
operational efficiency, and reduce long-term maintenance costs while ensuring safe and
reliable wastewater conveyance for the community.
In accordance with the City’s purchasing policy, City staff advertised and solicited bids from
qualified contractors to perform the rehabilitation of Master Pump Station 37-4. Bids were
evaluated for responsiveness and responsibility. Staff recommends that City Council
approve a Master Services Agreement with PBM Constructors, Inc.

The City of Palm Coast seeks to utilize a piggyback contract with W.W. Gay Mechanical
Contractor, Inc. and the State of Florida, Florida School for the Deaf and Blind to provide
plumbing, mechanical, HVAC, and refrigeration maintenance and repair services for city
facilities as needed. These services are required to promptly address unforeseen equipment
failures, system malfunctions, and conditions that may pose a risk to staff and public safety,
regulatory compliance, or continuity of essential operations.
This item utilizes a piggyback contract, allowing the City to adopt competitively solicited
agreements established by other governmental entities. This method reduces administrative
burden, accelerates procurement timelines, and provides access to pre-negotiated pricing,
terms, and vendor performance standards. All piggyback contracts are reviewed by the City
Attorney to ensure legal sufficiency and compliance with applicable laws. When the original
contract originates from an agency outside the State of Florida, the City incorporates
necessary provisions to ensure conformity with Florida law and local procurement
requirements. This approach maintains compliance with state purchasing standards while
promoting cost efficiency and enabling staff to focus on core service delivery.

SW-8R, SW-29R and SW-32R are Public Water Supply Wells that supply raw water to
Water Treatment Plant #1. These wells have been identified to need rehabilitation because
of a decrease in specific capacity and pump replacement. These wells were originally
constructed as screen filter packed into the confined surficial aquifer. Connect Consulting
will provide hydrogeological services and engage a well driller to rehabilitate the wells using
hydrochloric acid and high-pressure jetting in combination with air lift inductor to redevelop
the wells and clean the accumulated calcium off the well screen.
SW-25 is a well that was constructed in 1979 and was never equipped or used for supply.
Upon evaluation, it was found to be a very productive well with the need to be redeveloped
before adding it to the wells used for Water Treatment Plant #1.
Under the existing contract RFSQ-SWE-25-15, staff negotiated a scope and fee for these
projects with Connect Consulting, Inc., to not-to-exceed as follows:
SW-8R $158,260.00 - proposal 101.62
