The Fort Pierce Planning Board convened on May 12, 2025, to discuss several key developments, including a conditional use application and a minor site plan for a new duplex.

The meeting began with a discussion on a conditional use application that included a recommendation for the property owner to install landscaping along Avenue D. The board unanimously approved the application with the added condition, signaling a commitment to enhancing the area’s aesthetic appeal.

Following this, the board reviewed a minor site plan for a duplex proposed by AOK Construction at 209 North Eighteenth Street. The plan outlines the construction of a single-story duplex featuring enhanced landscaping and architectural designs. Each unit will include four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with modern amenities such as granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The site will also feature a community outdoor common area.

The proposed landscaping plan includes a variety of trees and shrubs, ensuring a visually appealing environment. The board recommended approval of the site plan, contingent upon a landscape maintenance agreement that mandates the ongoing care and replacement of any dead vegetation to maintain the property’s appearance.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's focus on improving local infrastructure and residential development, reflecting Fort Pierce's commitment to community enhancement and sustainable growth.
