6. Provide a performance surety, inclusive of inflationary costs, for the City to complete

City Council · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

The City of West Melbourne is reviewing a proposal that includes significant traffic improvements along Norfolk Parkway. These improvements are tied to the development of "The Pines" and include constructing a traffic signal at Norfolk Parkway and Shallow Creek Boulevard. Additionally, upgrades are planned for the Norfolk Parkway and Minton Road intersection, such as converting lanes, adding a left-turn lane, and optimizing signal timing. Further work involves traffic improvements for Pineapple Cove Classical Academy and a four-lane expansion of Norfolk Parkway between Minton Road and the city's western boundary. This item is currently under review, with a resolution requiring the developer to provide a performance bond for these improvements. If approved, D.R. Horton will develop a construction schedule, with all improvements anticipated within eight years of the initial land development permit for The Pines. This project will likely involve site clearing, grading, underground utility work, paving, traffic signal installation, and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to understand the project's scope and potential involvement before bids and permits are finalized.
