AN ORDER GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A MINOR
ADJUSTMENT TO A FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
(PUD) SITE PLAN KNOWN AS SAVANNA CLUB PUD SALES
CENTER TO RELOCATE EXISTING ENTRANCE GROUND SIGN.
WHEREAS, the St. Lucie County Planning and Development Services Director has
reviewed the request for a site plan adjustment submitted by Culpepper and Terpening,
Inc. on behalf of Community Savanna Club Joint Venture and the comments of the St.
Lucie County Development Review Committee on this application, and has made the
following determinations.
Community Savanna Club Joint Venture requested a Minor Adjustment to the
Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) Site Plan for the relocation of the
permitted entrance sign for Savanna Club PUD, located at the southeast corner
of South US Hwy 1 and Savanna Club Blvd. The subject 3.24 acre property is
zoned CG (Commercial, General) and is located on the property described in
Part B below.
2. On April 27, 1982, the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners
approved Resolution 82-58 for the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) known
as Savannah Club.
3. Savanna Club DRI proposed to construct a residential mobile home subdivision
comprising approximately 2,560 mobile homes with recreation complex,
constituting a Development of Regional Impact located in St. Lucie County, east
of U. S. Highway One and north of Walton Road.
4. Savanna Club DRI located the real estate sales office and models for the
Savanna Club PUD on the subject property providing for landscaping, off-street
parking and signage for the PUD sales center.
5. Savanna Club PUD Home Owners Association (HOA) wishes to continue to have
an entrance sign located at this intersection. That determination to allow the
continued use of the existing sign is found in Exhibit A.
6. The Development Review Committee has reviewed the site plan for the proposed
project and found, with the proposed conditions, it meets the technical
requirements of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and has satisfied
the standards of review set forth in Section 11.02.07, Standards for Site Plan
Review, of the Land Development Code.

Re: Revised Letter of October 18, 2013
Savanna Club PUD Entrance Sign
Parcel ID#3414-501-1915-160/1
Dear Mr. Dobbins,
This letter is in response to your recent request for a determination regarding the
continued use and potential relocation of the permitted entrance sign for Savanna Club
PUD, located at the southeast corner of South US Hwy 1 and Savanna Club Blvd. The
subject property has a zoning designation of CG (Commercial, General) and was the
original sales center for the Savanna Club PUD development. It is our understanding
that the subject property will change ownership and Savanna Club PUD Home Owners
Association (HOA) wishes to continue to have an entrance sign located at this
intersection but not hinder the ability of the proposed development to place ground
signs for their business.
In accordance with the sign regulations Section 9.01.01 of the Land Development Code
(LDC), the PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning district allows for a ground sign to
be located at the principle entrance into a residential development not to exceed 32
square feet and 10 feet in height. When the subject parcel is sold it will no longer be a
part of the Savanna Club PUD development. The LDC does not provide for entrance
signs to be located outside of the PUD development, although Planning division policy
has allowed for entrance signs for nonresidential and residential developments to be
placed at intersections subject to permanent sign easements recorded in public records.
Staff's determination, once an appropriate site on the subject parcel is located, is that
the existing 180 square foot entrance sign for Savanna Club PUD together with existing
water, landscape and column features be relocated within the subject parcel, with a
permanent sign easement recorded in public records. If the existing sign cannot be
relocated, the new sign shall be of same design, materials and equal or less square

footage of the original sign, with the same water, landscape and column features as the
existing sign. If a new sign design is desired (i.e. a design different from the existing
sign), the size and height requirements of PUD entrance signs will apply. Please review
Section 9.02.01.D prior to selecting the new location of the entrance sign. Paragraph 4
of this section describes the placement and the height of a ground sign. when the
subject property abuts the intersection of two rights of ways. d

Subsequently, future development of the subject property will be permitted to have
ground signs in accordance with Section 9.01.01 Permitted Permanent Signs within the
CG zoning district not inclusive of the Savanna Club PUD entrance sign. The Savanna
Club entrance sign will not be used in calculations of the number or size of signs
allowed for the primary use.
If you have questions or would like to discuss this consideration further, please let me
know.
