The City Council of West Melbourne is considering a proposal for a gated community subdivision, Avenue West, formerly known as Lennar West Melbourne Townhomes. This development is currently under review by the City Council. The project involves approving the subdivision name and a street name, Makoa Drive. Additionally, the developer, Lennar, is seeking permission to establish a gated community, with gates planned for vehicle and pedestrian access. Staff suggested and the developer agreed to a decorative embellishment for the gates, requiring a Hold Harmless Agreement. This project would likely involve site preparation, construction of community gates, and potentially road construction and utility work. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the developer early, as this project is in the planning and review stages, offering an opportunity to engage before final plans and permits are issued.
