Questions Regarding Approved Commercial Site Plan 5.33 Acres on Fort Pierce Florida

[Paul Scavello]

I purchased this vacant land back in 2020. The land is an out parcel with direct access from a shopping center that incudes tenants like CVS, Publix, Family Dollar, Marathon oil etc. Recently, the city removed the only road that gave my site access, stating the road is substandard. The issue i face is that the only access to my site now is through an easement from a busy shopping center. I have been working diligently to get an alternate ingress-egress, but the county wants me to repair a substandard rd that will cost over a million dollars. This road has residential homes and vacant commercial properties on it now, and if i decide to move forward, i will be the only property owner taking on these costs. Even though the road is substandard and hazardous, its apparent that the county stance is You need the road to repair it. I like the area and i am questioning whether it´s worth moving forward with Phase 1 of Construction.

Not sure if anyone went through this before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

They removed the Sandridge Road?  The shopping center probably has other entrances Im guessing, but it still looks like this road provides additional connections to their development.

It is mentioned there is a shared access easement here, which is what I would expect. My suggestion is reach out to these businesses and get a hold of the shared access easement.  You will want your name/lot to be added to this if is not already, then discuss sharing the cost of the new road with all parties of the shared access easement. 

A new/improved road here will also benefit them as well if you are bringing more customers to their shopping center and providing more access points for traffic flow in/out.
