COUNTY -ATTORNEY
Please be advised that the undersigned has the pleasure of representing Barbara Fugazzotto, the owner of Lot 728
in Venture Three, Inc., 10701 S. Ocean Drive, Jensen Beach, FL 34957.
Ms. Fugazzotto's home at Venture Three borders on the marina facility and boat docks located therein. It is my
understanding that the attached building permit was issued for a replacement of the docks which border Ms.
Fugazzotto's home. The permit specifically states that the "finger piers" will be reinstalled in the same location as
those which were existing at the time of the replacement. See Attached Exhibit "A".
Unfortunately, the permit was not complied with and an additional dock slip was created which obstructs Ms.
Fugazzotto's backyard. See Attached Exhibit `B" which depicts the original marina configuration compared to
Attached Exhibit "C" which depicts the revised marina after work under the permit was completed.
My client has lodged a complaint with the building department regarding the failure to comply with the permit and
the failure of the builder to rebuild the finger piers under the same footprint as they existed prior to the work under
the permit. Aside from a building official visiting the site, however, no corrective action has occurred despite
clear error by the building department in allowing such a discrepancy under the building permit,
My client demands that the additional slip created by the builder's failure to comply with the permit issued by St.
Lucie County be removed immediately. The County should never have allowed the additional, un-permitted work
to pass final inspection. In addition to clearly violating the building permit issued by the County, the additional
dock slip also encroaches upon and violates my client's riparian rights by violating the three (3) foot setback
requirement. See Attached Exhibit "D".
Please contact me upon review of this letter and advise as to the corrective action which will be taken by the
County to remedy this issue.
Cordially,
Jsl A eugja-vidzYa. (�cn Hio-

Dear Mr. Gonano:
Re: Barbara Fagazzotto —Venture Three, Inc. Dock Replacement
COUNTY
ATTORNEY
Daniel S. McIntyre
A5515TANT COUNTY ATTORNEY
ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY
This letter is intended to respond to your letter of December 4, 2018 regarding the replacement of the
docks in the Venture Three marina. In your letter, you state that an additional dock slip was constructed beyond the
twelve (12) authorized under the permit. The Building Division has reviewed the file and verified that only twelve
(12) dock slips were constructed. The placement of the slips was modified slightly during construction but the overall
number did not change from what previously existed. Absent a pre -condition as built survey and a post condition
as built survey, it. would be difficult in not impossible for an inspector to determine that a reconstruction was in
exactly the same location as the pre-existing improvements. Such surveys are not required under the Land
Development Code.
If the boats which are now moored in the slip adjacent to Ms. Fagazzott's lot are affecting her view, it would
appear she may wish to bring the issue to the attention of the Venture Three, Inc.
Sincerely,
Heather Young
Assistant County Attorney

Dear Ms. Petz:
w MIN. SETBACK REQ. I

ZNG.

On January 3, 2017, we received your application for an exemption to remove and replace twelve
existing finger piers, each measuring 3 ft. by 15 ft. (total 540 fiz over surface waters), as shown on
the attached drawings. The project is located within an unnamed canal, off the Jensen Beach to
Jupiter Inlet Aquatic Preserve, Outstanding Florida Waters, Class II Waters, adjacent to 10701 S.
Ocean Drive, Jensen Beach (Section 11, Township 37 South, Range 41 East), in St. Lucie County
(Latitude N 27' 16' 08.09", Longitude W 80' 12' 24.80").
Your request has been reviewed to determine whether it qualifies for (1) regulatory exemption, (2)
proprietary authorization (related to state-owned submerged lands), and (3) federal approval that
may be necessary for work in wetlands or waters of the United States.
Your project qualifies for all three. However, this letter does not relieve you from the
responsibility of obtaining other federal, state, or local authorizations that may be required for the
activity.
1. Regulatory Review — VERIFIED
Based on the information submitted, the Department has verified that the activities as proposed
are exempt, under Chapter 62-330.051(5)(c), Florida Administrative Code, from the need to obtain
a regulatory permit under part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes.
This exemption verification is based on the information you provided the Department and the
statutes and rules in effect when the information was submitted. This verification will expire after
one year, and will not be valid at any other time if site conditions materially change, the project
design is modified, or the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity are amended. However,
the activity may still be conducted without further notification to or verification from the
Department after the one-year expiration of this verification, provided: 1) the project design does
not change; 2) site conditions do not materially change; and 3) there are no changes to the statutes
or rules governing the exempt activity. In the event you need to re -verify the exempt status for the
File No.: 56-0350148-001-EE `
File Name: Venture Three, Inc.
Page 2 of 5
activity after the one-year expiration of this verification, a new application and verification fee will
be required. Any substantial modifications to the project design should be submitted to the
Department for review, as changes may result in a permit being required. Conditions of compliance
with the regulatory exemption are contained in Attachment A.
2. Proprietary Review — NOT REQUIRED
The activity occurs within BOT Deed 24972(2136-56), and does not appear to be located on
sovereign submerged lands, and does not require further authorization under chapter 253 of the
Florida Statutes, or chapters 18-20 or 18-21 of the Florida Administrative Code.
3. Federal Review — SPGP APPROVED
Your proposed activity as outlined on your application and attached drawings qualifies for Federal
authorization pursuant to the State Programmatic General Permit V, and a separate permit or
authorization will not be required from the Corps. Please note that the Federal authorization expires
on July 26, 2021. You, as permittee, are required to adhere to all General Conditions and Special
conditions that may apply to your project." A copy of the SPGP V with all terms and conditions
and the General Conditions may be found at

Authority for review - an agreement with the USACOE entitled "Coordination Agreement
Between the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Jacksonville District) and the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, or Duly Authorized Designee, State Programmatic General Permit",
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbor Act of 1899, and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
Additional Information
Please retain this letter. The activities may be inspected by authorized state personnel in the future
to insure compliance with appropriate statutes and administrative codes. If the activities are not
in compliance, you may be subject to penalties under Chapter 373, F.S., and Chapter 18-14, F.A.C.

be final and effective until further order of the Department. Because the administrative hearing
process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the
Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice.

SEA TURTLE AND SMALLTOOTH SAWFISH CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS
The permittee shall comply with the following protected species construction conditions:
a. The permittee shall instruct all personnel associated with the project of the potential presence of
these species and the need to avoid collisions with sea turtles and smalltooth sawfish. All
construction personnel are responsible for observing water -related activities for the presence of
these species.
b. The permittee shall advise all construction personnel that there are civil and criminal penalties for
harming, harassing, or killing sea turtles or smalltooth sawfish, which are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
c. Siltation barriers shall be made of material in which a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish cannot
become entangled, be properly secured, and be regularly monitored to avoid protected species
entrapment. Barriers may not block sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish entry to or exit from designated
critical habitat without prior agreement from the National Marine Fisheries Service's Protected
Resources Division, St. Petersburg, Florida.
d. All vessels associated with the construction project shall operate at "no wake/idle" speeds at all
times while in the construction area and while in water depths where the draft of the vessel provides
less than a four -foot clearance from the bottom. All vessels will preferentially follow deep -water
routes (e.g., marked channels) whenever possible.
e. If a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish is seen within 100 yards of the active daily
construction/dredging operation or vessel movement, all appropriate precautions shall be
implemented to ensure its protection. These precautions shall include cessation of operation of any
moving equipment closer than 50 feet of a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish. Operation of any
mechanical construction equipment shall cease immediately if a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish is
seen within a 50-ft radius of the equipment. Activities may not resume until the protected species
has departed the project area of its own volition.
f. Any collision with and/or injury to a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish shall be reported immediately
to the National Marine Fisheries Service's Protected Resources Division (727-824-5312) and the
local authorized sea turtle strandingtrescue organization.
g. Any special construction conditions, required of your specific project, outside these general
conditions, if applicable, will be addressed in the primary consultation.
h. Any collision(s) with and/or injuries to any whale, or sturgeon occurring during the construction of
a project, shall be reported immediately to NMFS's Protected Resources Division (PRD) at (727-
824-5312).
i. Reports to NMFS's Protected Resources Division (PRD) may be made by email to
takereoort.nmfssera,noaa.eov.
j. Sea turtle and marine stranding/rescue organizations' contact information is available by region at
http://www.nmfs.noaa.goy/orlhealth/networks.htm.
k. Smalltooth sawfish encounters shall be reported to
httn://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/sharks/sawfish/sawfishencounters.html.
