St. Petersburg-based developer Sembler Co. inked a deal to purchase 14.5 acres off State Road 776 and Flamingo Boulevard to build a Port Charlotte shopping center that West Port residents can reach by walking or biking. 

The center will contain a grocer and 9,800 square feet of retail space in the Murdock section of Port Charlotte. 

Before Sembler could proceed with its plans, Kevin Letch, the firm’s senior development manager, asked Charlotte County commissioners for an amended buffer zone requirement to limit trees, which might impede the shopping center’s visibility from the road.  

The required buffer zone is 25 feet.
