UPLAND AREA MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT PLAN
' FOR
THE RESERVE
ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
I. GENERAL
This Upland Area Monitoring and Management Plan has been prepared for The Reserve DRI.
The property is developed land in Sections 15, 16, 20-23, 26-29, and 33-35, Township 36 South,
Range 39 East, St. Lucie County, Florida (Figure 1). The site is approximately 2,600 acres in
area and is located immediately west of the intersection of Interstate 95 and St. Lucie West Blvd.
(SR 788). The parcel is bound on the northwest by Florida East Coast Railroad and State Road
1 709, agricultural lands, and undeveloped lands; on the southwest by agricultural lands and the C-
24 canal; and on the east by Interstate 95, residential and commercial development. While
portions of the site, including upland areas, have been undeveloped, the majority of the site has
been developed as golf courses and single-family residences.
The purpose of this Upland Area Monitoring and Management Plan is to provide guidelines for
the management and monitoring of uplands located within the three unique upland types located
within The Reserve (collectively, "Upland Areas"). These areas include common areas and open
spaces, golf courses, and microsited areas.
II. IDENTIFICATION OF UPLAND AREAS
A. The Reserve Upland Area Map
Upland Areas are shown on The Reserve Upland Area Map (Figures 2 and 3A -C, which is
Exhibit C to Resolution 04-081 and is on file with St. Lucie County pursuant to Special
Condition 15 of Resolution 04-081). The Upland Area Map includes summaries of the areas
which include common areas and open spaces, golf courses, and microsited areas. The Upland
areas shown in Figures 2 and 3A -C are what currently exists on the site and will ultimately be
finalized at the build out of the project

III. SURVEYING, MARKING AND BARRICADING REQUIREMENTS
7
The Upland Areas shown on Figures 2, 3A -C for The Reserve will not be surveyed or marked in
the field. During the remaining clearing and construction phases of the project, Upland Area
boundaries will be marked by physical barriers. No plant material will be removed from the
Upland Areas to facilitate surveying, fencing or soil boring/sampling without prior permission
from St. Lucie County Environmental Resource Department ("SLC ERD").
A. Upland Area Boundary Markers and Signs
Upland Areas under easements will be posted with permanent signs and boundary markers as
needed. Signs will be rectangular and at least 8 x 11 inches, and will be posted in conspicuous
locations along the Upland Area boundary, at a frequency of no less than one sign per 500 feet.
All boundary markers and signs will be approved by SLC ERD and they will be in place prior to
issuance of a building permit for construction on the site. Illustrations of the signs and markers
to be used for Upland Areas under easements are included in Attachment A.
B. Barricading Requirements
Prior to clearing, the developer will ensure that the Upland Areas are protected with physical
barriers during all clearing and construction activities in accordance with the following
guidelines. Barricades will be inspected by SLC ERD staff prior to work approval. Removal of
the barricade materials will be done upon issuance of the final Certificate of Occupancy with
authorization from appropriate County staff.
Barricades (not including turbidity screens) will be high -visibility orange safety fence extending
from the ground to a height of at least four feet. Barricades will not be attached to vegetation.
All barricades and turbidity screens will be upright and maintained intact for the duration of
construction.
Where areas are proposed for clearing (i.e., building envelope, utilities, drainage, road right-of-
way, etc.), the bright orange barricades will be offset at least 10 feet outside the Upland Areas or
placed at the dripline of the canopy trees, whichever is greater.
All native vegetation not slated for removal as part of the development plans will be retained in
an undisturbed state and will be barricaded at or outside the dripline of the trees. Cut or fill will
meet existing grade without encroaching into the Upland Areas.
It is the responsibility of the owner and /or builder to inform all contractors of the Marking and
' Barricading Requirements.
IIV. USE OF UPLAND AREAS
1
' A. Activities Allowed in Upland Areas
Property owners are encouraged to enjoy the natural beauty of their Upland Areas. Although
development within designated Upland Areas is not allowed pursuant to Special Condition No
15 of Resolution 04-081, passive uses, such as nature trails, bird -watching, picnicking, hiking
and other non-destructive uses of natural areas, which do not affect the hydrologic characteristics
or vegetative cover of Upland Areas, are encouraged. Fences will be permitted around Upland
Areas in microsited lots.
B. Activities Prohibited in Upland Areas
Activities prohibited in the Upland Areas or easements within the Upland Areas include, but are
1 not limited to: construction or placing of building materials on or above the ground; dumping or
placing soil or other substances such as garbage, trash, and cuttings; removal or destruction of
native trees, shrubs or other native vegetation; excavation, dredging or removal of soil materials;
diking or fencing; vehicular traffic including use by non -motorized vehicles, recreational
vehicles and off-road vehicles; permanent irrigation; trimming pruning, or fertilization; and any
other activities detrimental to drainage, flood control, water conservation, erosion control or fish
and wildlife conservation and preservation.
No hazardous material other than fuel for refueling on-site heavy equipment will be stored
during the construction phases. On-site fuel tanks must not be located within 25 feet of the
Upland Area and must be removed upon completion of construction work.
Buildings proposed to be located adjacent to the Upland Areas must be set back a minimum of
10 feet to allow for construction and maintenance without encroaching into the Upland Areas.
All other structures (e.g., pools, sheds, docks) shall be set back a minimum of five feet from the
Upland Area boundary, except as otherwise provided for herein.
V. RESTORATION AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
Except for approved restoration and maintenance activities, the Upland Areas will be left
undisturbed. All maintenance of the Upland Areas will be in accordance with this Plan for The
Reserve. The following restoration and maintenance activities may be conducted within the
Upland Areas: exotic plant removal, revegetation or planting native vegetation, and removal of
' dead, diseased, or safety hazard plant material. Exotic Plant removal shall include species listed
as a Category One invasive species according to the EPPC (Exotic Pest Plant Council) List of
exotic and invasive species
1 A. Exotic Vegetation Removal
1
h
Exotic vegetation will be removed from the Upland Areas b th
p y e least ecologically -damaging
' method available. Such methods include hand pulling, hand spading, cutting with hand or chain
saws, and in-situ treatment with appropriate herbicides. No debris, including dead plants, plant
clippings, or wood scraps, will be allowed in the Upland Areas unless the action of removal of
this debris will adversely affect the upland area. In addition, all dead plant material and exotic
plant debris removed from the Upland Areas will be disposed of off site in an appropriate
landfill. All herbicides will be applied in strict accordance with the label directions by a Florida
licensed applicator.
Brazilian pepper is located throughout the property. An effective method of removal involves
cutting the trees and applying an herbicide consisting of 25% Arsenal, 25% Concentrated
glyphosate (e.g. Rodeo or Roundup Superconcentrated), and 50% water to the cut area.
Old world climbing fern is located throughout the property. An effective method of removal
includes cutting the vines and treating the foliage of the lower portions with a mixture of 1.25%
Garlon 4, 0.6% Roundup Pro, and 1%-3% Rodeo.
Downy rose myrtle is located throughout the property. An effective method of removal involves
basal bark application of 10%-20% Garlon 4.
Grape vine is located throughout the property. An effective method of removal involves treating
foliage with 4% Roundup Pro and/or cutting the vines and treating the stump with an herbicide
consisting of 25% Arsenal, 25% Concentrated glyphosate (e.g. Rodeo or Roundup Super
concentrated), and 50% water to the cut area.
B. Revegetation
Any revegetation which might be necessary as a result of exotic vegetation removal or site
1 construction activities will consist of native plant species representative of the existing native
plant community. This will ensure that the Upland Areas maintain indigenous plant associations.
Revegetation of pine flatwood areas will comprise the following species planted at no greater
than 10 feet on center (oc). Revegetation of saw palmetto prairie areas will comprise the same
species with the exception of slash pine.

Dead or diseased plant material will be removed from the Upland Areas. No debris, including
1 dead plants, plants clippings, or wood scraps, will be allowed in the Upland Areas unless
removal of debris would adversely affect the upland area. All dead plant material and debris
removed from the Upland Areas will be disposed of appropriately. Thinning of the Upland
Areas will be scheduled on a three- to five-year rotation in order to remove understory fuel and
to open ground cover, mimicking a natural flatwoods community. Thinning will be by manual
labor methods only.
D. Prescribed Burns
Upon approval by St. Lucie County Fire Marshall, a prescribed bum may be conducted within
the 65 -acre northern upland area to thin the existing understory of overgrown saw palmetto and
1 to reduce fuel loads within the Upland Areas. The burn may be conducted by a certified burn
manager who will be responsible for obtaining all appropriate permits from State and local
agencies. Prescribed burns will not take place within golf course uplands or common areas.
VI. RESTORATION AND MAINTENANCE — RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
Pursuant to Special Condition No 15 of Resolution No 04-081, the property owner(s) of The
Reserve are responsible for implementation of all requirements of this Upland Area Monitoring
L and Management Plan. Upland Areas that are part of Common Areas within the jurisdiction of
the Home Owners Associations ("HOAs") shall be maintained by the HOAs. Attached as Exhibit
"B" is a specific list of restoration and maintenance activities, which will be conducted by
Reserve Homes LTD before complete control of the HOA is turned over to the residents of the
Reserve. Upon completion of those items listed in Exhibit `B", Reserve Homes LTD will submit
a certification by an Environmental Professional to SLC ERD that the items listed in Exhibit `B"
have been completed. Upon completion and filing of the certification as stated above, Reserve
Homes LTD will no longer be responsible for compliance with this Plan, and such responsibility
will be vested in the HOAs and those remaining property owners within the Reserve.
The HOA's and those remaining property owners within the Reserve will be responsible for
maintaining the Upland Areas in their existing natural conditions with the periodic removal of
invasive exotic vegetation. It is recommended that exotic removal be conducted on at least a
biannual basis and is further detailed in Section VI. Thinning of the Upland Areas should be
scheduled on a three- to five-year rotation.

Attachment C
Eforidda Exotic Pest Plant Council's
2005
List of Invasive Species
Purpose of the list: To focus attention on --
➢ the adverse effects exotic pest plants have on Florida's biodiversity and plant
communities,
➢ the habitat losses from exotic pest plant infestations,
'
➢ the impacts on endangered species via habitat loss and alteration,
➢ the need to prevent habitat losses through pest -plant management,
➢ the socio-economic impacts of these plants (e.g., increased wildfires in certain areas),
➢ changes in the seriousness of different pest plants over time,
➢ the need to provide information that helps managers set priorities for control programs.
DEFINITIONS: Exotic --a species introduced to Florida, purposefully or accidentally, from a natural
range outside of Florida. Native—a species whose natural range included Florida at the time of European
'
contact (1500 AD). Naturalized exotic—an exotic that sustains itself outside cultivation (it is still exotic;
it has not "become" native). Invasive erotic—an exotic that not only has naturalized but is expanding on
its own in Florida plant communities.

management as detailed below for Section V.B of the previously approved Upland Area Monitoring and
Management Plan. Changes from the original document are indicated in italicized underlined font below.
B. Revegetation: Replacement of vegetation due to death, disease, storm damage may be replaced
the following native plant species Replacement vegetation shall be limited to only those species
appropriate for the habitat. Any revegetation which might be necessary as a result of
exotic vegetation removal or site construction activities will consist of native plant species
representative of the existing native plant community. This will ensure that the Upland Areas
maintain indigenous plant associations. Revegetation of pine flatwood areas will comprise the
following species planted at no greater than 10 feet on center (oc). Revegetation of saw
palmetto prairie areas will comprise the same species with the exception of slash pine.

C. Vegetation Removal
Dead or diseased plant material will be removed from the Upland Areas. No debris, including dead
plants, plants clippings, or wood scraps, will be allowed in the Upland Areas unless removal of debris
would adversely affect the upland area. All dead plant material and debris removed from the Upland
Areas will be disposed of appropriately. Thinning of the Upland Areas will be scheduled on a three- to
five-year rotation in order to remove understory fuel and to open ground cover, mimicking a natural
flatwoods community. Thinning will be by manual labor methods only.
i. Vegetation removal
Prunino is permitted for safety reasons because of veaetation encroachment into road rights a
way or limiting line of site. Routine pruning of dead or dying lower fronds is also permitted to
avoid injury by falling debris. Green fronds may only be removed if their petioles are pointing
downward. Pruning can remove fruit clusters for safety reasons only tno harvesting of fruit
clusters is permitted). Reference document.,
