Wellington Council Weighs Tax Rate, Rezoning and $1.5 Million in Contracts
The Wellington Village Council closed out June with packed agendas that included preliminary adoption of the property-tax rate, a public hearing on a major rezoning, and consideration of four public-works contracts worth a combined $1.5 million. The Architectural Review Board also met to review signage and a residential design request. Because minutes were not yet published as of July 5, final votes on any item could not be confirmed.
Village Council Workshop, June 29
During a workshop session, the Council was scheduled to adopt the preliminary Truth in Millage — or TRIM — millage rate of 2.47 mills, which establishes the maximum property-tax levy for the budget hearings that follow. The same rate appeared on the next day’s regular-meeting agenda.
A proposal to rezone 14833 50th Street South, the site of the former Littlewood Equestrian Center, from Equestrian Residential to Equestrian Commercial Recreation was set for discussion. If approved at a subsequent public hearing, the change would allow commercial recreational uses on the property.
Staff presented four contracts for Council review:
- A $431,484 agreement to demolish the Little Ranches Bridge.
- A $588,615 contract for Big Blue Trace Landscaping Phase 3, continuing median and roadside beautification along the corridor.
- A roughly $384,352 package covering traffic-signal upgrades and monitoring cameras at multiple intersections.
- A $99,501.90 project to improve sidewalks along Greenview Shores Boulevard, filling gaps in the pedestrian network.
Also on the agenda was an ordinance updating rules for residential pergolas and shade structures. The measure would require Architectural Review Board approval for certain installations.
Village Council Meeting, June 30
The regular Council meeting was scheduled to hold a public hearing on the rezoning of 14833 50th Street South and to take up the shade-structure ordinance for a second reading. The four contracts and the millage rate were carried over from the workshop for formal consideration.
Architectural Review Board, June 29
The Architectural Review Board was set to weigh three petitions: an alternative pergola design for a home at 1641 S Club Drive; new signage for Mattress Warehouse at Wellington Green MUPD E; and signage for the Florida Center for Aesthetic Dentistry.
