1. Historic Designation - 9809 S. Indian River Drive - THIS ITEM IS QUASI-JUDICIAL
This public hearing was Quasi -Judicial, and the commissioners made the following
disclosures regarding this item:
Commissioner Frannie Hutchinson - Spoke with no one.
Commissioner Linda Bartz - Spoke with staff only.
Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky - Spoke with no one.
Commissioner Cathy Townsend - Spoke with no one.
Chair Sean Mitchell - Spoke with staff only.
Kori Benton, Planning & Development Services Assistant Planning Manager/Historic
Preservation Officer, presented this item to the Board. The applicants are requesting to
demolish the primary residence of the historic designation of 9809 S. Indian River Drive,
guest house, and garage to pursue a redevelopment project for the 3.93-acre parcel. The
definitive reuse plan has not been filed, but a "Lot Split" application to divide the parcel
into two (2) is active with the Planning Division. Under the public notice requirements of
the St. Lucie County, Land Development Code advertisement for the public hearing was
published in the St. Lucie Tribune on February 17, 2022. In addition, notices were mailed
out to the adjacent property owners within 1000 feet of the subject property as required
by ordinance, and letters were provided to the applicant and their representative.
The single -story wood -frame residence represents a simplistic styling expressed by a
rectangular plan, drop siding, and side gable roof with composition shingles and various
decorative trim. Exterior wall fabric consists of drop siding, with some modern siding
replacements. The primary structure predominantly features non -original windows, with
two over two designs. Building modifications are estimated in the 1960s and 2015, with a
non -original wood deck wrapping a notable portion of the structure. The guest house has
maintained much of the original design, whereas the garage has some non -original siding,
windows, and doors. The property is an exceptional historical resource, and the quality of
significance in local history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present. It
is associated with the lives of persons significant in the past.
The applicant has documentation highlighting the deterioration and degradation of the
121Page
BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 15, 2022 9:00 AM
structures present on site. The Historical Commission passed a motion to allow demolition
of the subject structures, not approving a historic designation. However, they encouraged
the property owners to preserve the existing guest house and explore reuse opportunities
for any salvageable Dade County pine, as the structures were not found to be Exceptional
Historic Resources.
Staff recommended the Board of County Commissioners approve Resolution 2022-46,
accepting the property owners' request not to designate the subject structures with a local
historic designation, as the structures do not meet the criteria of an "Exceptional Historic
Resource."
Chair Mitchell opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following people

Florida Airfield Maintenance, JV (FAM) was awarded the Florida Department of
Transportation statewide pavement marking contract. FDOT secured these services for
statewide use for airports located throughout the State of Florida. The County's Airport is in
need of such services to address aged, weathered, missing, and incorrect pavement markings
located on the airfield's pavement. The use of FAM's services is also supported by an FDOT
grant, allowing for costs associated with the project to be reimbursable up to 80% of the total
cost.

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 15, 2022 9:00 AM
This project is supported by FDOT with an aviation grant totaling $600,000, with FDOT
providing 80% or $480,000 in funding and St. Lucie County providing the remaining 20% or
$120,000. At the completion of this project, the Airport will have new markings that will
improve the safety of operations and allow the Airport to be compliant with FAA Part 139
Standards in preparation for commercial service.
Eric Konupka, Airport Manager, presented this item to the Board. In 2020, the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) procured a pavement marking company to provide
airfield pavement services to airports throughout the State. This contract's contractor is
Florida Airfield Maintenance, JV (FAM) they can complete inspections, assessments, and
corrective action for airports and their pavement. St. Lucie County's Airport has pavement
markings that require rehabilitation and/or corrections. These markings are often cited as
items of noncompliance in the annual FDOT inspection and, if uncorrected, will be cited in
PART 139 inspections. A review of the existing conditions was completed by Atkins, who
then generated a set of plans for corrective action to be completed by FAM. St. Lucie
County will be entering into a contract with Florida Airfield Maintenance, JV, performing
the necessary work on the airfield, as per the rates listed in the Statewide contract
procured by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
Use of this statewide contract will be completed as per the listed rates that Florida Airfield
Maintenance, JV, submitted during the States procurement process for this contract. Staff
will work with the Design Consultant and the contractor to ensure material removal,
prepping, and new markings are quantified as per the plans. A purchase order will be
issued for the various areas of the airfield in need of corrective action or rehabilitation. The
timeline to begin the project is in April 2022.
Staff recommended the Board's approval for the use of the FDOT Statewide Pavement
Marking Contract with Florida Airfield Maintenance, JV, as per the listed rates within the
State's executed contract, and authorization for the Chair to sign contract documents as
approved by the County Attorney, allowing for the Treasure Coast International Airport's
pavement markings to be corrected, removed or improved as required by the FAA and in
order to meet PART 139 Standards for commercial service.
A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.
