A decision on the 62-acre Old Kings Village development has once again been delayed to allow more time for negotiations between residents at a neighboring property and the developer.

The Palm Coast City Council voted unanimously on Jan. 2 to delay a final vote on the application until Jan. 16, after having delayed the vote at its Dec. 5 meeting for the same reason. Residents at Polo Club West, which borders the development’s east side, have had concerns about the privacy and property values of their homes if the 210-unit development is approved.

The Polo Club West’s homeowner association hired lawyer Dennis Bayer to represent them in negotiations with developer Geosam Capital US and its attorney, Michael Chiumento. Bayer said the main issue was last-minute changes made to an agreement on the buffer placed between the two properties.

The property, located 2.5 miles south of State Road 100 on Old Kings Road, was annexed into Palm Coast from Flagler County in September. This vote is the second and final vote on development’s application to change the property’s land use and zoning designations from Flagler County designations to Palm Coast designations.
