All, we pulled the file from archives and could find nothing that says it is not a permitted use, therefore I told Paula to
reactivate the permit and begin processing.

Maybe Resolution 84-81 page 3 of 5 is the only mention of carports, etc that states they will be approved in accordance
with SLC PUD zoning Ordinance.

Kristin,
Please locate the specific development order for this area of homes and advise on whether or not there are any
particular restrictions on accessory structures.

Thank you for providing that citation. Paragraph 1 points out that any inconsistency between the Addendum and the
provisions of the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions of Harbour Ridge relating to single family residential shall be
determined and resolved by the Architectural Review Board. That was in 1992. We have no knowledge, or way of
knowing if the HOA has modified this restriction over the past 19 years. This is partially why it is almost impossible for
St. Lucie County to monitor the implementation of the HOA documents on a case -by -case basis. The ARB has reviewed
and approved the request of the property owner on 11/11/11.

What about the Addendum to declaration of covenants and restrictions of River Pointe Village ORB 805/796? That part
is specific for the Custom Home Units?

Subject: RE: Wattlee Construction
All,
River Point Village filed a Declaration of Condominium in ORB 805/770. It references "...Except for the Custom Homes..."
throughout the document. An electronic search of the document for "accessory structures" did not yield any matches.
Typically when we approve a PUD, we do require the developer to create and record HOA/POA documents. However, it
has always been my understanding, under advisement of the County Attorney's Office, that St. Lucie County does not
enforce the HOA/POA documents; it is a civil matter. They have a Board of Directors and usually an Architectural Review
Board that reviews and approves modifications that home owners want to make. The Reserve also had similar questions
in the past.
Mr. Wattlee provided the copy of the HOA approval letter and he described to me that there are several other gazebos
and bath houses in the neighborhood. Sec. 8.00.03 of the LDC states that these are permitted accessory structures in
Planned Unit Developments.
In my humble opinion, based on the` -.jched letter, and based upon past policiE.; . ,,;d practices of the Department, the
Planning Department should have no objection to the building permit. With your approval and concurrence I can advise
Mr. Wattlee of your decision.

I am not sure about the Custom Homes. The other buildings are units and they are allowed screen rooms and pools. I
do not think they have any other types of accessory buildings. Harbour Ridge is about a 20 year old site plan. I cannot
remember the last building permit for Harbour Ridge other than generators and gas tanks.

Hello All,
There are several "POD's" and Villages in Harbour Ridge. Most of them are the same, except for this one in River Pointe
Village. Lots A thru G are only for the Custom Homes.
Thanks for all the help,
Paula

The question that is on the table with this request, is it allowed in this particular area of the PUD, Paula could not find
the specific site plan and conditions for this area and was asking for help from Planning to see if they had the
information. Paula's recollection was that accessory structures are not permitted but she did not want to go on memory.
So the question is, is an accessory structure permitted in the subdivision of Harbor Ridge. Paula would have gone to the
laze fiche but hers is not working. So Kristen if you would research this and provide an answer it would be appreciated.
Thanks

All,
Mr. Ryan Wattlee of Wattlee Construction called to complain and find out "what the hold up is" . He said Lydia is
checking PUD documents but he already has a variance in his possession. He said this has been going on since
November 7, 2011.
1 very nicely and politely apologized to him for the inconvenience and nicely explained that I am not the right person to
handle the continuance of his complaint and that our Management would get back to him.
His phone number is 772-223-0604
