City could annex 97 acres for new homes

By Anonymous -
A landowner wants Palm Beach Gardens to annex 97.4 acres to build a single-family home community.

The Salvatore J. Balsamo Trust filed an application with the city to annex and develop its vacant property just west of the municipal golf course at 11401 Northlake Blvd. It’s on the east side of the Avenir project, where the city recently approved 3,985 homes plus commercial space for Landstar Development Group.

Balsamo’s project would be called Ancient Tree. It would have 97 single-family homes, a clubhouse, a gym, tennis courts, a playground and two lakes. The project would set aside 15.2 acres for golf recreation dedicated to the city and 2.2 acres of community recreation, including a golf cart path from its clubhouse to the municipal golf course.

The application said the community would have all the amenities of a traditional country club without the annual dues associated with a golf course. Palm Beach Gardens has many golf club communities, which often require pricey annual memberships or equity buy-ins.

The homes would be custom built. The application doesn’t say whether Balsamo, the long-time property owner, has the site under contract to a home builder.

Kathryn Dewit of planning firm Cotleur Hearing, who represents Balsamo in the application, couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

The Dotted Line: When Contractors Can Walk Off the Job

By -
When general contractors or subcontractors sign on to construction projects, they usually start off believing everything will run smoothly. But, during the course of the work, issues sometimes arise that force all parties to go running back to their contracts in order to evaluate their options. One of those options for construction companies is to simply stop work, but contractors need to take care when making such a big decision. “Stopping work and ultimately terminating the contract is one of the most radical things you can do,” said Joseph McManus Jr., attorney and shareholder at law firm Carlton Fields.   Luckily, most of the circumstances under which contractors are clearly entitled to stop work are included in the most popular standard forms of contracts. Nonpayment The most common reason that contractors find it necessary to stop work, McManus said, is that they haven’t been paid for approved invoices. In that scenario, he said, contractors have the ...
