WHEREAS, the St. Lucie County Planning and Development Services Director has reviewed
the request for a Minor Adjustment to the Final PUD Site Plan for the project known as Sunset
Beach PUD including the comments of the Development Review Committee, and has made
the following determinations:
1. The applicant, Lloyd S. Moody on behalf of WBC Collections, L.P., DIAMOND
SHORES LLC, Sunset Beach Property Owner's Association Inc., and
Representative, Richard Ladyko, PE., presented a petition for a Minor Adjustment to
the Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) Site Plan to relocate the temporary
modular sales trailer on Lot#17 to the Recreational Tract, until the model on Lot#16 can
be occupied. The overall project site is approximately 38.8 acres, as depicted on the
attached map as Exhibit "A" and described in Part "B" below.
2. On June 2, 2009, the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners through
Resolution No. 09-026 granted Preliminary PUD Site Plan approval for a single-family

plan adjustment resulted in an increase of lands due to changes in the mean high-
water line, the reduction of one (1) single family residential lot, the re-location of the
common recreation amenity towards the center of the development, and the re-
location of the main access road to eliminate direct wetland impacts.
