NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie
County, Florida:
A. The foregoing findings are hearby approved and adopted by the Board of County
Commissioners of St. Lucie County, FL.
B. Pursuant to LDC Section 11.07.03. and Section 3.01.03.S.7., the Conditional Use Permit
for White Marsh, LLC. as hereby depicted in the Conditional Use Plan prepared by
McCarty & Associates, is hereby approved for the property described in Paragraph "C"
below, subject to approval of the associated Final Site Plan and the following conditions:
1. The Conditional Use Permit shall always comply with the St. Lucie County noise
ordinance, pursuant to Section 28-110—Sound Level Limitations.
2. All on-site crane and forklift equipment shall be equipped with a White Noise Back-
Up Alarm, approved by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA),
pursuant to Title 29 CFR 1926.601(b)(4) and 1926.602(a)(9)(ii).
3. Prior to commencement of development, including, but not limited to, clearing, filling,
excavation, grading, or planting of vegetation, as defined in LDC 2.00.00, the
following UNRESOLVED correction shall be satisfied prior to MJSP-2409-000133
approval:
a)Clarify whether the document identified as an Environmental Assessment(EA)
dated May 2024 is an EA or if it is an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Per
LDC 11.02.09.A.5, and as mentioned in the EA (p. 4), an EIR is required, as the
site is greater than ten (10)acres. The ERD Director may authorize total or partial
relief from this requirement if documentation is provided requesting relief from
the EIR, and it is demonstrated based on conditions unique to the proposed
development all of the information foregone by such relief is not needed to
determine environmental impact of the proposed development. (Resolved)
b) Figure 6, Soils Map under Appendix A, Maps, doesn't appear to represent the
soils found onsite. (Resolved)
c) If development proposes filling of ditches, a Wood Stork Forage and Biomass
Analysis (WOST) will be required to determine areas of suitability, and if
applicable, loss of potential forage. Loss of forage can often be fully offset onsite
via the creation of a stormwater pond with a littoral shelf or the use of existing
suitable water bodies to remain post site development (ponds with littorals and
farm ditches). Foraging losses that cannot be mitigated onsite may be
compensated for via the purchase of wood stork credits from a permitted
mitigation bank with a service area covering the subject property.
4. Prior to commencement of development, including, but not limited to clearing, filling,
excavation, grading, or planting of vegetation, as defined in LDC 2.00.00, the
following UNRESOLVED correction shall be satisfied prior to MJSP-2409-000133
approval: Describe the retention area as wet or dry. If wet retention, littoral and
upland buffer plantings are required for any lakes, wet retention ponds, etc. per LDC
Resolution No. 2025-36
Page 2 File No. CU-2408-000074
6.02.03.F and Chapter 6 of the CP Policy 6.1.2.5. (Resolved)
5. Prior to commencement of development, including, but not limited to, clearing, filling,
excavation, grading, or planting of vegetation, as defined in LDC 2.00.00., a
Vegetation Removal Permit or Exemption shall be issued by the Environmental
Resources Department per LDC 6.00.03.
6. Prior to commencement of development, including, but not limited to, clearing, filling,
excavation, grading, or planting of vegetation, as defined in LDC 2.00.00., a 100%
gopher tortoise survey conducted by a state certified gopher tortoise agent will be
required per Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) protocol.
These surveys are only valid for 90 days.

species shall be eradicated from the site.
