Sanctuary at Westport

A Site/Civil Design for a Growing Community

Port Orange, Volusia County, Florida

In order to keep the project progressing, we worked with the city’s staff to expedite a subdivision exemption application for a lot split and execute a change of grade permit.

The six-phase project allowed the developer to keep occupancy on schedule. Photo courtesy of Jack Jennings & Sons Construction Services.

This development utilizes the stormwater pond system as a backup supply with irrigation water for the reuse system.

We coordinated with SJRWMD to make sure the design would protect and enhance the existing wetlands.

Sanctuary at Westport is a 360-unit apartment complex developed by Emerson International. The site is comprised of 10 apartment buildings, 8,800-square-foot clubhouse, 3,300-square-foot gym, pool, dog park, and additional community facilities.

The apartments are serviced by both surface parking and multiple bay garages. The detention pond designed serves as a backup for the irrigation system for both the apartment complex and the 278 single family lot development to the west, which were also designed by Dewberry. The site includes a large wetland to the south that has been preserved, protected, and enhanced as part of the design.

Our team managed all permitting for this project, which included the City of Port Orange, St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Florida Department of Environmental Protection Wastewater, and Volusia County Water. Additionally, we provided construction level surveys, topographic and boundary surveys, and construction administration services for all six phases of the project.
