The Ravinia Port St. Lucie, LLC filing of a Mining Permit exemption application requested the Ravinia Planned Unit Development consisting of 54.37 acres located on the south side of West Midway Road and east of Christenson Road. Under Land Development Code Section 11.05.11(A.2.h), the applicant is requesting an exemption from the requirement of a Mining Permit to remove excavated material from the site, derived from developing stormwater areas, infrastructure, and other features customarily associated with on -site development. This item was heard on January 11, 2022; after hearing the residents' concerns and the public, it continued to allow a period of evaluation and amend the exemption with several conditions. One of the concerns was the dewatering of the ponds and the effects on the existing neighboring resident's potable wells nearby. South Florida Water Management is the entity that regulates and issues the permit. After meeting in January, South Florida Water Management conducted a site evaluation on the conditions. They determined that dewatering would not have any potential to affect the neighboring residents and their water supply wells based on the distance from the ponds, the methodology, and the duration of the water used. The developer for the subdivision presented that conclusion and the South Florida Water Management report to the residents at a neighborhood meeting held near the site on January 31, 2022. Another concern addressed was the haul routing and the effects on the local roadways. Since the meeting, restrictions have been placed on hauling access and limited to the construction entrance on Midway Road, using only tail roads. With no usage of local streets within one mile of the site with limited operation times from 10 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday. A bond has BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 1, 2022 6:00 PM been prepared to provide funds for roadway damage due to the hauling engineering.

Chair Mitchell opened the meeting for public comment at this time.

The applicant, Florida Power and Light (FPL) Bluefield Solar Energy Center, is a targeted industry within St. Lucie County. The Florida Power and Light applicant seek a Major Site Plan approval to construct and operate a 74.5 Mega Watt Photovoltaic Solar Center. The 451.86-acre property is located at 14697 E. Center Street, approximately 3.5 miles south of SR 70 and one mile of SE 128th Avenue in unincorporated St. Lucie County. The property is located within the AG-5 Zoning District and is consistent with the AG-5 Future Land Use designation. The subject site is located outside the Urban Service Boundary. On July 1, 2021, Senate Bill 896 Section 163.3205, FS passed a solar energy approval process establishing that a solar facility shall be permitted in all agricultural land use categories. In a local government, a comprehensive plan and all agricultural zoning districts within an unincorporated area must comply with the setbacks and landscape buffer area criteria for other similar uses in the agricultural district. The recently adopted Senate Bill 896 preempts the County's requirements for Conditional Use within the AG-5 Zoning District for a Solar Generation Station. As part of the Major Site Plan approval, the applicant requests two waivers from the Land Development Code. The first waiver is for the maximum ten percent lot coverage by structure. The panels cover a large portion of the property. However, the solar panels sit approximately two feet off the ground at the lowest point and will not impede the surrounding areas. The second waiver is for perimeter landscaping and screening requirements.
