2. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. 2020 State Legislative Priorities & Federal Quarterly Update
Convened: 9:00 AM
Adjourned: 1:57 PM
This item was presented by Nicole Fogarty, Legislative Affairs Director. She introduced Greg Burns
from Thorn Run Partners to provide an update on federal legislative priorities. Mr. Burns began
with the Fort Pierce Beach construction project. He discussed funding options for the project and
addressed Commissioner Hutchinson's question on FEMA natural disaster declaration of
Hurricane Dorian. Next, Mr. Burns talked about the Everglades restoration program and the
update to funding for the C-23 and C-24 canals as included in the Army Corp's budget.
Commissioner Hutchinson asked for clarification on the funding. Mr. Burns said the specifics of
Page 7 of 220
BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, September 10, 2019 9:00 AM
the funding allocation is unclear at this time but offered to set up a conference call with the Army
Corps South Florida Everglades Restoration Manager in Jacksonville to find out more information.
Commissioner Hutchinson requested that call be set up. Then, Mr. Burns provided a brief update
on other items that Thorn Run Partners has been working on, including a project Chair Bartz has
requested.
Next, John Ariale and Kenan Hale from Gray Robinson gave their update on federal legislative
priorities. First, they spoke on gas tax revenue pilot programs, federal appropriations, maritime
projects and status of Port infrastructure grant programs. They provided an update on two
aviation projects: the FAA Tower and the runway expansion AIP application. Commissioner
Dzadovsky had a question on the hours of operation for the FAA Tower. There was a discussion
between staff and the Commissioners as it relates to the operation hours of Customs.
Continuing on, the Legislative Affairs Director went over the 2020 State legislative priorities. She
provided updates on the following items:
• Qualified Targeted Industries (QTI) Tax Refund
• St. Lucie Cultural Alliance
• Economic Development Transportation Fund
• Building and Code Regulation
• Local Fuel Tax Indexing
• Local Government Tax Referenda
• Land Application of Biosolids
• Treasure Coast International Airport Scrub -Jay Habitat
• North Hutchinson Island Septic to Sewer Conversion Project
• Ten Mile Oxbow and River Floodplain Restoration
• Taylor Creek Restoration Dredging
• Beach and Inlet Management Projects
• Comprehensive Water Reform
• Indian River Lagoon South -Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Project
• Department of Environmental Protection - Beach Funding & Permitting
• Basin Management Action Plans
• Public Transportation Administration and Maintenance Facility
• St. Lucie and Indian River County Boundary Line Change
• Customary Use
• Veterans Assistance Center
• McNeil Multifamily Residential Project
• State Library Funding
• Indian River State College (IRSC)
• Invasive Exotic Plant Research OF IFAS
• Florida 4-H Programs.
The Board asked clarifying questions on several of the items, and staff and the Legislative Affairs
Director provided answers. There was particular discussion regarding funding priorities and
21Page
Page 8 of 220
BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, September 10, 2019 9:00 AM
matches for the North Hutchinson Island Septic to Sewer Conversion Project, the Ten Mile
Oxbow and River Floodplain Restoration, and the Taylor Creek Dredging project. Commissioner
Hutchinson reiterated that the projects were competing for the same State funds.
In closing, the Board, staff and Legislative Affairs Director discussed the importance of adding
supplemental funding for emergency beach renourishment to address the beach erosion from
Hurricane Dorian. The Board also agreed that the Taylor Creek project was their priority.
B. Blind Creek Beach
Jeff Bremer, Assistant County Administrator, presented the Board an update on the Blind Creek
oceanfront beach to bring up the possibility of formally recognizing the use of that beach as
clothing optional because it has been used that way for some time. He provided some
background of that beach:
• 408 acres includes beachfront and intercoastal frontage.
• It is the single largest contiguous parcel of public lands that the County has on South
Hutchinson Island.
• It is leased from the State Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund and
the South Florida Water Management District.
• Land is currently leased to Mosquito Control.
• Amenities include hiking, fishing, canoeing, single -lane boat launch, 3 parking areas,
observation tower, 4 fishing/crabbing docks.
• The St. Lucie County Operation and Management Plan guides the use of the property.
• Blind Creek Beach is more heavily used than any other beach on South Hutchinson Island.
Mr. Bremer indicated that Naturists (clothing -optional proponents) have been using the site for
more than 20 years and began an effort to have the beach formally recognized as clothing
optional in 2014. In 2014 the Tourist Development Council voted unanimously to support the
designation of a clothing -optional beach in St. Lucie County and identified two potential areas for
this, but no action was taken since then. Mr. Bremer's current investigation revealed that there
were some major roadblocks to an official designation because the land is owned by the State.
Mr. Bremer found that Blind Creek Beach is being heavily promoted by various sites as one of
Florida's clothing -optional locations and is ostensibly well-known for being clothing -optional.
Attempts to persuade the State to allow a clothing -optional beach on state lands was denied and
a request for the State to turn over the land to the County was also denied.
However, during 2019 the State's Lands attorneys suggested that the County could accomplish
their goal through an ordinance that would recognize clothing -optional recreation activities at the
defined area and that the County would also have to update its management plan. The County's
Legal department prepared a draft ordinance for consideration and Mr. Bremer modified the
management plan. Mr. Bremer sent the ordinance and updated management plan to Florida
State Lands for review and they did not have a problem with either one. Mr. Bremer indicated
Page 9 of 220
BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, September 10, 2019 9:00 AM
that he would like the Board to consider an ordinance and change in management plan to
designate Blind Creek Beach as clothing -optional.
The Board and Staff discussed the potential boundaries of a clothing -optional section of beach,
the economic impact, parking impact, usage impact, and cost impact of a formal designation.
Prominent discussion points included:
• Blind Creek Beach is a currently a passive park: there are no facilities, the parking lot is not
paved, there are no restrooms
• The need for restroom facilities
• The need for signage
• Possible need for a lifeguard
• ADA compliance issues
• Positive impacts from tourist spending
• Potential funding sources
• Asking the Naturists to fund or help fund the improvements.
Mr. Bremer indicated that his next step would be to meet with the Naturists to talk about how
they could partner so that he would have information when bringing the proposed ordinance to
the Board for review.
C. Humane Society Update
This item was moved to the meeting on Sept 10, 2019 at 6 PM under the regular agenda.
D. Parks Master Plan
Ed Matthews, Director of Parks and Recreation, presented an informational update regarding the
Parks and Recreation master plan. He handed out the resume of the consultant who helped put
together the original parks 20-year master plan and gave an overview of the current parks master
plan and MSTU:
• The parks 20-year master plan was completed in 2001.
• An MSTU was established in 2003 (sunsets 2023.)
• MSTU projects are prioritized with the master plan as a framework.
• MSTU funds were distributed to the cities and the county based on population.
• Various park projects were accomplished in each of the cities and county with MSTU
funds.
41Page
Page 10 of 220
BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, September 10, 2019 9:00 AM
Mr. Matthews said that he envisioned a new 10-year parks master plan with a 10-year MSTU. He
then broke down the current MSTU-funded projects by entity:
• City of Ft. Pierce $5,714,542
• St. Lucie Village $147,373
• City of Port St. Lucie $20,888,015
• St. Lucie County $26,787,882
Mr. Matthews indicated that his goal is to come to Board with a master plan that is viable and
reflects the needs of the community and conveys a vision for the next 10 years. After that they
could talk about extending the current MSTU beyond 2023 to fund those items in the new plan.
The Board and staff discussed potential costs, potential funding, and the amount of funding to
the County that the MSTU might raise and partnering with the cities to meet mutual needs. The
County Administrator raised the possibility of using MSTU funds for operating costs to maintain
the park facilities that are built.
Commissioner Hutchinson asked whether the proposed entertainment district would be included
in the new master plan, and Mr. Matthews replied that it would. He also said that he would like
to develop a steering committee that would meet three or four times during the project and
wanted the Board to suggest who should be on that committee. He also asked the Board if they
would agree to holding a special informal session just on the topic of parks master plan.
Facilities Discussion on Court Space Needs
Daniel Rutherford, Facilities Director, presented information about a couple of space needs
studies they have been working on in order to address challenges to Facilities' budget and
maintenance needs. One of the studies was a space needs study of the downtown judicial area
and the second one looked at under-utilized properties county -wide. The goal was to determine
how the County could condense, consolidate, and reorganize departments to better utilize
properties and to look at opportunities to lease, sell, or better utilize properties. He indicated
that the Courthouse study is complete and the underutilized study is ongoing,
Scotty Beaulieu, Facilities Manager, presented an overview of the downtown courthouse space
study. The short-term goal was to maximize use of county -owned facilities on that campus while
providing a comprehensive overview to 2030:
• Maximize use of owned facilities and sites
• Locate functions to improve communication and services
• Improve quality of space for staff and public
• Address existing deficiencies
• Develop a phased implementation plan.
S1Page
Page 11 of 220
BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, September 10, 2019 9:00 AM
Mr. Beaulieu identified stakeholders of that campus (19th Judicial Circuit, Clerk of Circuit Court,
Criminal Justice, Facilities, Healthy Start, Law Library, Public Defender, Sheriff) and identified the
buildings in the downtown judicial campus and how they are currently used. He specified that the
space study did not include the State Attorney.
Operational Observations from the space study included:
• Lack of zones of separation for individuals in custody (they sometimes have to be
transported through public and staff areas to get them to the courtroom)
• Staff and Judges space are an issue
• Some courtrooms lack direct in -custody access
• Only 3 courtrooms are 1600 sq ft or larger, which is needed to accommodate a jury trial
• There are accessibility issues
• Current holding space is too small
• Judicial parking is an issue
• General parking will always be an issue downtown.
Mr. Beaulieu reported that the space study concluded that there was approximately 16,000
square feet of surplus space on the property. However, he explained that it is a false number
because the County has fragmented departments (e.g., Court Administration is located in St.
Lucie West, the Public Defender doesn't house all of their staff on that campus). He suggested
that if the County defragmented both of those operations the judicial campus would be beyond
maximum capacity. Mr. Beaulieu remarked that it is cumbersome for Court Administration to be
at St. Lucie West when all of their operations are downtown, and has looked into trying to locate
them on the judicial campus, but they would have to move a lot of things around. Mr. Beaulieu
mentioned that 14,000 of surplus space was showing in building C (Clerk of Court), but since the
study was begun the Clerk of Court consolidated 4,000 sq ft from Building B into Building C, which
leaves about 10,000 sq ft available in Building C and 6,000 sq ft. throughout the rest of the
campus. However, he explained that number is hard to realistically quantify because not all of
that space is usable space.
Commissioner Townsend asked whether, given the purported available space, Court
Administration could be moved downtown. Mr. Beaulieu replied that the study indicated that the
Clerk of Court could consolidate their operations onto four floors, leaving one floor open for
another use. Commissioner Townsend asked for clarification on whether the building used to
house the Clerk of Court was a county -owned building, and Mr. Beaulieu replied that it was.
The County Administrator explained that the county does not want to invest in a building/campus
that is not future focused: operations on the campus are projected to grow 26.9% by 2030, so
needs will outgrow the campus.
61Page
Page 12 of 220
BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, September 10, 2019 9:00 AM
Two options to address future needs were offered:
• Remodel the existing campus (projected cost of $32 million). Some issues can be solved
but it will still be outgrown it and won't solve all the problems.
• Develop a new campus (projected cost of $142 million -not including land purchase).
Staff and the Board discussed the pros and cons of the two options:
• Commissioner Hutchinson stated that she was against building a new campus and thought
the County would be better off trying to consolidate at existing locations. She suggested
using some of the space at the new Tax Collector office in Tradition or in St. Lucie West.
She also suggested that if the County had to build a new complex, it should consider
property west of town off of Orange Ave.
The County Administrator advised that the challenge with decentralizing is that you need
a centralized campus for jury trials. He emphasized that the current judicial campus
cannot accommodate future needs and that the County would be spending tens of
millions of dollars to get a facility by 2030 that still would not meet future needs. He
emphasized that no decision needed to be made immediately, but that everyone needed
to start thinking about it.
• Commissioner Townsend suggested selling the County's surplus properties to provide
funding. She highlighted the waterfront property that could be sold to a developer who
might put in apartments and put the property back on the tax rolls.
• Commissioner Bartz said that she would like to see these options discussed in the strategic
plan.
• Commissioner Hutchinson commented that it would be helpful to see the entire space
needs study that was done (not just the judicial complex) so that the Board has the big
picture before they are asked to approve surplus properties for sale.
F. Facilities Naming Policy & Fundraising/Sponsorship
Facilities Naming Policy
County Attorney Daniel McIntyre stated that the County has an existing naming policy that
provides some criteria and an application form. He indicated that there has been some discussion
of using a naming committee going forward and suggested amending the current resolution. He
said staff could put that item on an agenda.
Commissioner Hutchinson said that she prefers to have a committee to vet suggested names and
that it would eliminate partiality. It was suggested to create an ad hoc committee that would
meet as needed, and further to add naming to the historical commission duties.

BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, September 10, 2019 9:00 AM
Fundraising & Sponsorships
The County looks for ways in which public -private partnerships can provide donations, funding,
and volunteer assistance to support and enhance County services. The County Attorney explained
that the County does not have a policy on fundraising/sponsorships and that it would be a good
idea to have one in order to have some regulations and oversight. He asked the Purchasing
Department to see if there was a policy out there to use as a guide, and they found one from San
Jose, CA. The County Attorney said he modified their policy to suit St. Lucy County and its
framework. He further noted that if the Board adopts something like this policy the purchasing
manual would be the appropriate place to put it. He suggested to put the draft policy on the
Board's meeting agenda as a purchasing manual amendment for approval.
The County Administrator cautioned that any time the County lends its symbol to a fundraising
charity it implies that the County supports or approves of the organization and so accountability
and transparency is needed. He commented that the draft policy looked good and he supports it.
G. County Sponsored Relief Efforts for the Bahamas
The County Administrator gave the Board a status report on St. Lucie County's efforts in Bahamas
hurricane relief. He indicated that the County has been requested to provide help at the port and
airport. He explained that Missionary Flights was coordinating much of the relief activity in
partnership with the Salvation Army. Since the port is under construction and navigation is
difficult, one experienced operator, McCulley Marine Services, was selected to operate the relief
efforts coming out of the Port of Fort Pierce.
Florida State Representative Toby Overdorf gave an update on actions from the State -level. He
relayed that the State was waiting for authorization from the Federal government to do
something. The State has provided MREs and water, but without federal authorization by law
they cannot do anything more. He described the efforts in working with the Bahamian
government to coordinate aid deliveries and described the volunteer shipments going out of the
airport and port. Representative Overdorf pointed out that the County was still charging a
tonnage fee for aid leaving the port. He asked that the Board consider waiving those fees for
barges conveying humanitarian aid.
Commissioner Dzadovsky said that he would support waiving the fees. Commissioner Townsend
advised the Board Mr. McCulley was being paid to take items to the Bahamas and that is why she
had requested that he pay the county for the use of the dockage. Mr. Overdorf shared that Mr.
McCulley was charging an extremely reduced fee and so he was asking to waive the port fees for
humanitarian reasons. Commissioner Townsend also said at they were asking people not to
donate any more supplies because they still had a warehouse full.
The County Attorney suggested to extend the emergency order and waive the port fees on a
humanitarian basis and have the Board ratify it, or add it to the agenda for tonight's meeting to
have the Board waive the fees. The County Administrator suggested to extend the emergency
order to waive the fees and then put it on the meeting agenda for September 17tn
81Page
Page 14 of 220
BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, September 10, 2019 9:00 AM
It was also mentioned that currently the County is working with Mr. McCulley exclusively because
of the port construction and will continue to work with him until the County transitions to
Derektor. He anticipated an October transition date, but it depended on when the demolition of
the packing house was completed. Mr. Stan Payne, Port & Airport Director, stated that he would
like an exclusive use of the port berth for Mr. McCulley until the end of the month with a possible
extension as needed because of the construction. The County Administrator indicated that he
would include that in the emergency declaration. The County Administrator also mentioned that
he got a call from an employee in Solid Waste who has family in the Bahamas and had requested
some items: he would be working with him and sharing that information.
Scotty Beaulieu, Facilities Manager, led a short discussion of County -owned tarps and water and
whether the County would be able to donate some of it to the Bahamas. The Board and staff
discussed whether it would be the right time, whether those supplies would it be needed now
and whether they would be able to get the supplies to the people in the Bahamas. Mr. Beaulieu
suggested surplussing the tarps and water to make it easier to donate them. The Board agreed
that they would rather wait until they get through the end of hurricane season and then surplus
the items, in case those items are needed by the County in the event of a hurricane.
H. Update Regarding the Intersection of Okeechobee Road & Midway Road
Kim Graham, County Engineer, updated the Board on the safety issues with the intersection of
Midway Road and Okeechobee Road. She noted the potential for accidents at that intersection,
gave a history of previous traffic studies, and outlined what improvements the County has made:
• 2012 enhanced intersection signage
• 2017 added short term safety improvements
• 2018 installed lighting and illuminated pavement markings.
Ms. Graham explained that crash data showed 23 accidents between 2014 and 2019, most of
which were left turn and angle crashes. The County is continuing to work on improvements and
created a task force with the Department of Transportation (DOT), sheriff, and their signal
contractor to analyze options and come up with a plan for this intersection including:
• Traffic Signal (FDOT) estimated $500,000
• Right Turn Lane Modifications (FDOT) estimated $500,000 - $1,000,000
• Removal of Pedestrian Bridge — County (possibly) estimated $1,500,000 - $2,000,000
• Additional Street Lighting Design — County? estimated $55,000
• Additional Street Lighting Construction — County estimated $500,000
• Rumble Strips on Midway (County) estimated $50,000.
The Board and staff discussed the pedestrian bridge and whether the State or the County would
have to pay to remove the bridge if warranted. They also discussed possible funding for street
lighting. Commissioner Mitchell asked if the half -cent sales tax money could be used for the
intersection improvements and the answer was no. The County Administrator reminded there
was $300,000 in the proposed budget set aside for unpaved roads and that money could be used
91Page
Page 15 of 220
BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, September 10, 2019 9:00 AM
for this purpose. There was also a suggestion to ask FPL to help with funding and the Board
agreed that they would like to pursue that option.
Ms. Graham said she would work with Administration in drafting a letter to FPL to see if they
would assist with the intersection costs. The Board directed Ms. Graham to contact FPL first to
see if they would assist with funding intersection safety improvements before moving forward
with the other proposed measures. The County Administrator also suggested that Ms. Graham
wait and see what the State senator and local representative could accomplish in helping to get
FDOT funding before moving forward.
3. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to be brought before the Board, the meeting was adjourned.
Please note: Final minutes are recorded in the official minute books that are filed with the Clerk of the
Circuit Court and available for inspection upon request.

1. Ordinance No. 20-001- Amending the St. Lucie County Communications Rights -of -Way
Ordinance
Assistant County Attorney, Katherine Barbieri, presented this item along with Gary Resnick,
the County's outside communications attorney. The Florida Advanced Wireless
Infrastructure Deployment Act became effective July 1, 2018, codified at Section 337.401,
Florida Statutes (the "Small Cell Statute"). The Board of County Commissioners adopted
Ordinance No. 2018-002, to implement the Small Cell Statute in the County Code of
Ordinances and also to amend the County's Cable Ordinance consistent with Florida law. The
Small Cell Statute preempts, to large extent, the County's authority to regulate the
placement of small wireless facilities in the public -rights -of -way, including setting forth time
61
Page 22 of 220
BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2020 6:00 PM
frames, known as "shot clocks," to process applications for permits, and providing a limited
bases to deny applications. In 2019, the Legislature passed CS/CS/CS/SB 1000 ("SB 1000"),
which amends Section 337.401, effective July 1, 2019, including the Small Cell Statute, to
further preempt local government authority and to extend shot clocks to applications for
permits for all communications facilities in the public rights -of -way. SB 1000 also included
the creation of a private cause of action in federal court to a party aggrieved by action of a
local government that is preempted by the statute, and provides for the possible award by a
court of costs and attorneys' fees to the prevailing party. The County's outside
communications attorney, Gary Resnick, with significant input from County staff, prepared
the proposed Ordinance to amend the County Code, and to allow for the County's exercise of
its authority consistent with Section 337.401, as amended by SB 1000. The proposed
Ordinance amends provisions of the County Code, including definitions, registration
requirements, exemptions from permit requirements, application requirements and review
procedures, construction methods and requirements for construction and permanent
performance bonds, terms for use of County -owned utility poles and fees for use of County
rights -of -way, and objective design standards addressing the location and design of
communications facilities in the public rights -of -way. Staff recommended the Board adopt
the proposed ordinance as drafted.
Mr. Resnick noted that he received comments that day from attorneys representing Comcast
and Verizon commenting on the proposed ordinance and suggested revisions. Mr. Resnick
provided a copy of the email from the attorneys for Comcast. Commissioner Dzadovsky
asked Mr. Resnick to explain to the public how the pre-emption at State and Federal levels
takes some of the regulatory ability out of the County's hands. Mr. Resnick explained this to
those present. He also noted that the County was preempted by Federal law from taking
action based on perceived health effects of RF emissions.
Chair Townsend opened the hearing for public comment at this time. There being no one
wishing to address the Board, Chair Townsend closed the public hearing.
A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously.

Ordinance - Including New Construction in PACE Program - Funding Agreement
Amendment
County Attorney Daniel McIntyre presented this item. In 2010, the County adopted
Ordinance No. 10-025 forming the St. Lucie County Sustainability District for the purpose of
accomplishing energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements (PACE) including
paying the costs necessary and incidental thereto through non -ad valorem assessments. The
County has entered into agreements with the Solar and Energy Loan Fund ("SELF") to serve
as the County's agent in implementing the County's PACE program. The County's PACE as
implemented only covers existing buildings - not new construction. Recently SELF inquired
whether the County desired to extend the PACE program to new construction. County staff
in conjunction with the County's special assessment bond counsel investigated whether
allowing PACE to include new construction is consistent with state law and county
ordinances. It appears that state law does not allow a PACE program to cover wind -
resistance improvements for new construction. The County's ordinance, as currently
constituted, does not allow the PACE program to cover new construction. A proposed
ordinance which, if adopted, would allow the County's PACE program to finance energy
improvements for new construction except for wind resistant improvements. The draft
ordinance also modifies the maximum limit of the financing to delete the $50,000.00 limit.
Also proposed is a draft Amendment to the Funding Agreement with Inland and SELF
prepared by the County's Bond Counsel. The Amendment, if adopted, would delete
language restricting the funding of PACE improvements to existing buildings. Staff
recommended the Board approve the draft ordinance and the amendment to the funding
agreement and authorize the Chair to sign the ordinance and amendment.
Chair Townsend opened the hearing for public comment at this time. There being no one
wishing to address the Board, Chair Townsend closed the public hearing.
A motion was made to adopt the proposed ordinance and it passed unanimously. (The
amendment to the funding agreement was voted on separately. See item 9.A.3)

10. REGULAR AGENDA
A. COUNTY ATTORNEY
1. FDEP Biosolids Rule
County Attorney Daniel McIntyre presented this item. The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) regulates biosolids. On October 29, 2019, the FDEP
published notice that it would like to amend its biosolids rules. However, the FDEP's
proposed rule amendments must be approved by the Environmental Regulation Commission
(ERC) before the proposed amendments will become effective. The FDEP hopes to present its
proposed biosolids rules to the ERC at a public meeting scheduled for January 28, 2020. St.
Lucie County, Martin County, and Indian River previously submitted comments to the FDEP
concerning the FDEP's proposed biosolids rules. All three counties have expressed their
91Page
Page 25 of 220
BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2020
6:00 PM
concern that the FDEP's proposed rules do not go far enough to protect water quality.
Audubon Florida has expressed similar concerns. Given St. Lucie County's interest in the
FDEP biosolids rules, the County's consultant (CDM Smith) was asked to review the proposed
FDEP rule amendments and provide a written assessment for the County. Accordingly, CDM
prepared a letter that contains several questions and comments about the FDEP proposals.
On August 13, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County (Board) sent a
letter to the FDEP, summarizing the Board's concerns about the FDEP's biosolids rules. Since
the FDEP has not fully addressed the Board's concerns, David Dee, Esq., the County's special
counsel, has prepared a draft letter that the Board should consider sending to the members
of the ERC. The draft letter updates the comments that the Board sent to the FDEP in 2019.
The draft letter also includes some of CDM's comments about a "Lower Cost Regulatory
Alternative" that may be presented to the ERC.
It is unclear whether the FDEP's proposed rule amendments will need to be submitted to the
Florida Legislature for ratification pursuant to Section 120.541(3), Florida Statutes. If a rule
will increase regulatory costs by an aggregate amount in excess of one million dollars within
five years after the rule's adoption, the rule cannot take effect until it is ratified by the
Legislature. In this case, the FDEP has estimated that the proposed biosolids rule will exceed
the million -dollar threshold. However, Senator Mayfield has co -sponsored Committee
Substitute for Senate Bill 712 (SB 712), which waives the requirement for legislative
ratification if the FDEP biosolids rule is adopted "before the 2021 regular legislative session."
It is too early to predict whether SB 712 will be enacted into law. Staff recommended that
the Board authorize the Chair to sign the draft letter as prepared by the County's special
counsel.
Commissioner Dzadovsky commented on the history of biosolid opposition in St. Lucie
County, thanking the various citizen groups in Tradition, Verano, the Reserve that worked to
oppose the commercial biosolid composting efforts. He suggested that everyone continue to
work to protect the quality of water, life, and the public health. Chair Townsend
acknowledged that while she agreed with Commissioner Dzadovsky, she was concerned
about infringing on the Right to Farm Act and farmer's rights. Commissioner Dazaovsky made
a distinction between the Right to Farm Act and the biosolids issue and noted the difference
between applying standard fertilizer and biosolid compost. Chair Townsend reiterated her
concern about possibly infringing on the Right to Farm Act and wanted to make clear that
she does not want to take away any of the farmers' rights.
A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously.

2. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Federal Lobbyist Contract Renewals
Nicole Fogarty, Legislative Affairs Director, explained that currently St. Lucie County has two
federal consultant contracts which assist the county in representing four areas of concentration.
The Gray Robinson Law Firm represents the Maritime and Aviation contracts and Thorn Run
Partners represents the Health & Human Services and General Administration, as well as the
Environmental and Natural Resources contracts. In November 2018 the Board approved these
contracts with the direction to evaluate them after one year of performance. Staff requested the
Board's direction on continuation of the contracts, in which that decision will be formally
approved in January.
Page 29 of 220
BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, January 21, 2020 9:00 AM
The commissioners commented on the performance of the two firms and agreed that Thorn Run
was under -performing in the Health & Human Services area. The Board agreed to renew the
contracts of both firms for a year. They also agreed to keep Health and Human Services with
Thorn Run for another year and to send them a strongly -worded letter letting them know that
their firm is "on probation" to see if their performance improves.
B. Update on County Legislative Grants
Nicole Fogarty, Legislative Affairs Director, and Courtney Calderone, Legislative Affairs Grants
Coordinator, presented the Board with an update on the legislative grants that they have
successfully applied for and plan to pursue in the near future. Ms. Calderone described how the
Legislative Affairs division plans to support the County in pursuing funding opportunities and the
collaboration and teamwork involved with other departments. She then highlighted several of the
grants that their department successfully applied for and were awarded, and reviewed several
future grant funding opportunities that they are in the process of applying for or determining how
to pursue.
In particular, staff and Board discussed the DEO CDBG-MIT grant (federal funding to address
eligible communities' disaster mitigation needs), the timeline, potential projects/programs that
would fall under this grant, and the internal discussions that would need to take place to prioritize
projects under this grant, and the internal path forward. The Legislative Affairs Director stated
that the grant details had not yet been formally rolled out and so the grant did not have a deadline
yet. Commissioner Bartz asked if the list of prioritized projects would come back to the Board for
review before any final decisions were made, and the Legislative Affairs Director indicated that
they would.
C. Human Services Division Update
Lauren Johnson, Human Services Coordinator, and Diana Wesloski, Community Services Director,
provided an update to the Board on the functions of the Human Services Division of the
Community Services Department. Ms. Johnson described the mission, goal, and objective of the
Human Services Division, the background of their staff, and their mostly -grant -funded status. She
elaborated on the types of services offered to citizens and on the Community Services Block Grant
(CSBG) used to fund many of their programs. In closing, Ms. Johnson highlighted several cases
where Human Services intervention produced a successful outcome of self-sufficiency for the
client.
Chairman Townsend commented that she would like to educate the community on the services
that Human Services offers and suggested that a representative from Human Services join her for
the next Coffee with the Chair.

BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, January 21, 2020 9:00 AM
D. Retail Sale of Dogs and Cats
Heather Young, Assistant County Attorney, requested direction from the Board on whether to
bring an ordinance regulating the retail sale of dogs and cats forward for permission to advertise
for public hearing. She explained that the County currently does not regulate the retail sale of dogs
and cats other than through zoning under the Land Development Code. Although Section 828.29,
Florida Statutes, establishes health requirements for the sale of dogs and cats, in recent years a
number of jurisdictions have begun to prohibit or restrict such sales due to the health issues which
have been associated with animals acquired from puppy and kitten mills. In June of 2019, Indian
River County adopted an ordinance requiring an adoption model for any retail sales of dogs and
cats. The Animal Shelter Standards Committee reviewed the issue and recommended the Board
consider adoption of an ordinance to establish regulations regarding the health of dogs and cats
sold by retail pet sellers and to further prohibit the retail sale of dogs and cats with exceptions for
governmental agencies and non-profit shelter and rescue organizations. She noted the ordinance
was not intended to prohibit the sale of dogs and cats by licensed breeders who would still be
required to follow the health requirements for any animals sold. A proposed ordinance was
provided to the Board for consideration.
Ms. Michele Lazarow, a City Councilman from Hallendale Beach, FL, commented on the good
quality of St. Lucie County's drafted ordinance and spoke about the problem of retail locations
selling animals from out of state puppy/kitten mills.
Commissioner Dzadovsky asked staff about issues with breeders who do not have stores and
commented about the abundance of unlicensed breeding in District 1. Staff replied that the
proposed ordinance does not address breeders, but that the sale of cats and dogs from breeders
would still be required to conform to Florida statues. Commissioner Hutchinson emphasized the
need to educate buyers about purchasing dogs and cats.
Animal Safety Coordinator, Maria Valencia, gave an update on the status of a local dog breeder
located in an Agricultural -zoned area who was the subject of multiple complaints, including a
recent dog attack. Ms. Valencia stated that breeder was supposed to be moving off the property
soon.
The Board agreed to put the proposed ordinance on a future meeting agenda for permission to
advertise.
3. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to be brought before the Board, the meeting was adjourned.

SUBJECT: Florida Department of Transportation Midway Road Project from west of

White City Park - Parcel ID 3403-502-0111-000-8 - County Deed and
Resolution A - License Agreement and Resolution B
BACKGROUND:
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is designing and permitting improvements to Midway
Road (C.R. 712) from west of South 25th Street to east of U.S. 1. The project is being designed in
accordance with the Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study completed in 2009. Midway
Road will be widened to a four -lane divide roadway with designated bike lanes, a 12-foot wide shared use
path on the south side, and a six-foot wide sidewalk on the north side of the roadway. Furthermore, the
project utilized a context sensitive design approach keeping existing connections to the side streets with
designated turn lanes to the extent possible. Likewise, the signals at South 25th Street, Oleander Avenue,
and U.S. 1 will be upgraded and a new signal at Sunrise Boulevard will be installed. Furthermore, native
trees will be installed within the medians and decorative pedestrian and roadway lighting meeting FDOT
lighting criteria will be installed adjacent to the shared use path and sidewalk. To accomplish this, FDOT
needs a portion of the County's White City Park and Midway Road right-of-way.
On April 1, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners denied the proposed Contract for Sale and Purchase
from the Florida Department of Transportation in the amount of $125,000.00 and authorized staff to
make a counter-offer in the amount of $279,550.00 based upon a review appraisal prepared by Deighan
Consultants.
FDOT has taken another look at their cost to cure for the project and the cost of relocating the restrooms.
FDOT has presented the County with a revised Purchase Agreement in the amount of $753,826.00 for the
cost to cure plus $28,000.00 for the land and improvements for a total amount of $781,826.00. Parks,
Recreation and Facilities have reviewed and approved the cost to cure, land and improvement values in
the Purchase Agreement.

established. This subsection shall operate prospectively and not retrospectively.
The County increased some if its roads impact fee rates effective November 1, 2019 (the "Roads Impact Fee
Rate Increase") by virtue of Ordinance No. 19-012. which was adopted by the Board on July 2, 2019.
The County and Riverland/Kennedy, LLC desire to document how the new Impact Fee Credit Law will be
applied to the Credits in connection with the Roads Impact Fee Rate Increase and any future increases in
roads impact fee rates or parks impact fee rates (including, without limitation, any annual increases in such
rates based on changes in the Consumer Price Index).
Attached is a proposed First Amendment to the February 12, 2008 Settlement Agreement prepared by
Riverland/Kennedy, LLC. In response to the new impact fee credit law Riverland/Kennedy, LLC proposes (1) to
Page 61 of 220
freeze the amount of Road Impact fees for any proposed "increase" authorized by the County's ordinance to
the applicable fee that was in effect prior to the rate increase and (2) as to any impact fee decreases to apply
the Impact Fee Credits against the decreased impact fee rate in lieu of the rate that was in effect prior to the
rate decrease. Examples of the proposed use set out in Section 2c of the First Amendment.

IMPACT FEE CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS Settlement Agreement Including Impact Fee Credit Agreement
("Agreement") is made and entered into as of this day of-" u , 2008,
by and between ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA, a political subdivision f the State
of Florida, hereinafter referred to as "County" and Riverland/Kennedy, LLP, its
successors and assigns.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Riverland/Kennedy, LLP (hereinafter referred to as the
"Development Entity") is the original developer of the following approved Development
of Regional Impact, as may be amended from time to time: Riverland/Kennedy
(hereinafter the "Community"), which Community encompasses that land legally
described on Exhibit "A" hereto; and
WHEREAS, as part of the Community, the Development Entity (directly or
through community development districts and/or special assessment districts) has
constructed or caused to be constructed roads, funded or caused to be funded the
construction of roads (via payments to the State of Florida and/or other appropriate
governmental agencies), dedicated or caused to be dedicated rights -of -way to appropriate
government agencies, and will be building or cause to be built additional public roads,
will be funding or cause to be funded additional public roads, as detailed on Exhibits "13-
1" and "B-2" hereto (hereinafter the "Road Improvements"); and has dedicated or will be
dedicating or cause to be dedicated certain lands for parks as detailed on Exhibit "C"
hereto (hereinafter the "Park Improvements"); and
WHEREAS, as part of the Community, the Development Entity (directly or
through community development districts and/or special assessment districts) has
constructed or caused to be constructed or will construct numerous roads which will
operate as arterials or major collectors. These improvements will substantially enhance
the transportation networks of the City of Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie County, as
depicted on Exhibit "D" hereto. Such improvements are unique in that they represent a
substantial enhancement of the network by adding to the transportation grid rather than
merely adding capacity to existing roadways; and
WHEREAS, the County has adopted its Roads Impact Fee Ordinance codified
beginning at Section 1-17-25 as amended ("Roads Impact Fees"), and its Parks Impact
Fee Ordinance codified beginning at Section 1-15-31 as amended ("Parks Impact Fees"),
of the Code of Ordinances, County of St. Lucie, Florida (collectively, the "Impact Fee
Ordinances"), and said Ordinances provide for impact fee credits for, inter alia, the
construction, funding or dedication of certain public infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the County has adopted Ordinance No. 06-47, which allows the
County to grant road impact fee credits for road improvements that benefit the impacted
transportation system in the County; and
Page 63 of 220
OR BOOK 2942 PAGE 912
WHEREAS, the County has determined that the Road Improvements and Park
Improvements, as and when provided, are eligible for impact fee credits under the
respective Impact Fee Ordinances; and the County has analyzed the Western Annexation
Traffic Study and employed traffic engineers, and concluded that the internal roadway
network for the Western Annexation Area will have 31 % excess capacity compared to
the traffic impacts of the entities constructing said internal road network, including the
Community;
WHEREAS, the County and the Development Entity have agreed to enter into
this Agreement, to memorialize the determination of credits which shall be applied as
necessary to satisfy County impact fees for the dedication of land and/or construction
(including payments to a governmental authority performing construction) of roads and
parks, as detailed on Exhibits "B-1 ", "B-2", and "C" respectively, and the County
acknowledges and agrees that the Development Entity should receive impact fee credits
for said projects under the applicable impact fee ordinances; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement resolves the issues related to the objections that the
Development Entity has or may have had as to the primary validation action instituted by
the County; and a separate agreement shall be entered withdrawing any objection to the
validation, with each party bearing its own fees and costs, and with said agreement
providing that if all or any portion of this Agreement is later determined to be void or
invalid by a court of law (and the County agrees that it will not file such an action, nor
solicit or encourage any third party to file such an action, nor assist in the filing or
prosecution of such an action, and the County agrees that it will actively oppose and
defend against any lawsuit seeking such a determination), that the Development Entity
shall have the option of challenging the County's Impact Fee Ordinances, except as to the
County's ability to collect impact fees from the Development Entity within the
Community and within the boundaries of the City of Port St. Lucie, notwithstanding the
purported existence of a conflict between the Impact Fee Ordinances of the County and
the ordinances of the City of Port St. Lucie;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants entered into
between the parties hereto, to be made and performed, and in consideration of the
benefits to accrue to each of the parties, it is agreed as follows:
Section 1. Incorporation by Reference.
The above recitals are true and correct and are made a part of this Agreement by
reference.
Section 2. Amount of Credit.
A. The County agrees to grant Roads Impact Fee credits to the Development
Entity in the amount of $13,742,500.00 for the payments made ($22,500,000.00) for the
Road Improvements constructed or to be constructed as set forth on Exhibit "B-1" hereto,
which amount is based upon 71.3 % of the cost to construct such improvements, except
48.3% as to the cost of the future interchange between Becker Road and Gatlin. The
County further agrees that the Development Entity will be granted a Roads Impact Fee
2
Page 64 of 220
OR BOOK 2942 PAGE 913
credit in the amount of 31% of the cost of those projects listed on Exhibit `B-2" hereto
per road link shown on Exhibit B-2 or any portion thereof, upon completion of the
construction by the Development Entity or by any community development district or
special assessment district which encompasses all or any portion of the Community or
upon funding the construction through payments to the appropriate governmental agency,
or donation of the right-of-way, as applicable (determined on a road segment by road
segment basis as portions of such projects are developed) which amount is to be based
upon the allocated cost of the Development Entity's agreed upon share of the cost to
construct such improvements or dedicate road right-of-way, and 31% (representing the
portion of the right-of-way deemed to be non -site related) of the value of the right-of-way
listed on Exhibit B-2 hereto (to the extent said right-of-way is located within the property
described on Exhibit A), as said value is determined as set forth herein. The amount of
the credit to be received for non -site related right-of-way dedication relative to the
projects listed on Exhibit B-2 is to be credited at the time of said dedication, with the
amount of said credit being determined by either 120% of the most recent assessed value
of the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser of such land immediately prior to such
dedication (without regard to any homestead or agricultural exemption), or at the
Development Entity's option and consistent with the provisions of the Impact Fee
Ordinances, the appraised value of such property. The determination of cost of the Road
Improvements for the credit due for the construction of Road Improvements shall be
based upon the actual engineering and construction costs incurred to construct each such
segment of the Road Improvements. The Development Entity shall be responsible for the
submittal of the necessary documentation to establish the extent of credit due.
i. If the developers of the Southern Grove, Western Grove and/or the Wilson
Groves Developments of Regional Impact enter into an agreement with Development
Entity to share the costs of one or more of the road segments listed on Exhibit `B-2"
hereto, then the impact fee credit to be granted by the County will be allocated between
the entities which have agreed to share in the costs based upon the respective percentages
of the cost borne or otherwise funded by said entities (directly or through community
development districts and/or special assessment districts). However, no credit shall be
granted to the Southern Grove, Western Grove and/or the Wilson Groves Developments
of Regional Impact unless those entities have entered into an agreement with the County
for the provision of the improvements and the award of credits. By way of example, if
road project A is listed on Exhibit `B-2" hereof (and thus impact fee credits would be
31% of the cost thereof), and 75% of the cost of that road project A is to be paid by
Development Entity and 25% of the cost of that road project A is to be paid by the
developers of the Southern Grove, Western Grove and/or the Wilson Groves
Developments of Regional Impact, then Development Entity's share of the cost to
construct such improvements is 75% of the cost of that road project A, and the impact fee
credit to which Development Entity is entitled is 75% of the 31 % of the costs of road
project A (upon execution of an agreement with the County, the other aforementioned
developers shall be entitled to impact fee credit of the other 25% of the 31 % of the costs
of road project A.) If an agreement is reached between Development Entity and the
Southern Grove, Western Grove and/or the Wilson Groves Developments of Regional
Impact setting forth the final apportionment of the road costs among said developers,
3
Page 65 of 220
OR BOOK 2942 PAGE 914
Development Entity will provide said agreement to the County. If the cost of a road
segment listed on Exhibit `B-2" is not shared between Development Entity and the
Southern Grove, Western Grove and/or the Wilson Groves Developments of Regional
Impact, then Development Entity shall receive the impact fee credit attributable to the
road segment that it paid for or otherwise funded (directly or through community
development districts and/or special assessment districts).
B. The County agrees to grant a Parks Impact Fee credit to Development
Entity for the conveyance of land and related improvements for the 100 acre park set
forth on Exhibit "C" hereto (which conveyance by Development Entity shall amount to
50 acres of the 100 acre park), to be credited at the time of said conveyance to the City,
with the amount of said credit being determined by either 120% of the most recent
assessed value of the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser of such land immediately prior
to such conveyance, or at the Development Entity's option and consistent with the
provisions of the Impact Fee Ordinances, the appraised value of such property. The
credit due for actual improvements, if any, shall be in accordance with the provisions of
the County's Parks Impact Fee Ordinance. Development Entity shall be responsible for
the submittal of the necessary documentation to establish the extent of credit due. This
provision shall not preclude Development Entity from seeking impact fee credits from the
County for other public parks not referenced on Exhibit "C" under applicable County
regulations.
C. The listing of a project or land dedication on any of the exhibits hereto
does not require the Development Entity to undertake said project or dedicate said
property; further, if projects or properties listed on the exhibits hereto are completed or
dedicated, but due to the Development Entity either having already satisfied the
applicable impact fees, or the Development Entity electing to not seek impact fee credits
for said project or property dedications, Development Entity is not prohibited from
seeking impact fee credits from other governmental entities relative to said projects or
properties. The schedule of projects listed on the exhibits hereto does not prohibit the
Development Entity from constructing or funding other projects, or dedicating or
conveying other lands, for which the Development Entity may seek impact fee credits
under the applicable County regulations.
Section 3. Limitation of Credit.
The credits established by this Agreement ("Credits") are available solely to
Roads Impact Fees and Parks Impact Fees of the County due from development on the
properties described in Exhibit "A." Such Credits shall not be transferable to any other
property in the County, except as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement. The Credits
contemplated by this Agreement may only be applied against the categories of impact
fees at issue, and shall not be transferable as a credit against other impact fees (i.e. excess
roads impact fee credits may not be applied to parks impact fees). The Credits may be
assigned by the Development Entity to any such other parties, as the Development Entity
may determine, for credit against Impact Fees due under the respective Impact Fee
4
Page 66 of 220
OR BOOK 2942 PAGE 915
Ordinances imposed with respect to lands within the Community (and included within the
properties described in Exhibit "A").
Section 4. Assignability of Credit.
Any and all impact fee credits to which Development Entity is entitled may be
freely assigned to any successors in title and interest to Development Entity, including
any persons or entities that have previously purchased property from Development Entity
within the Community and as described in Exhibit "A" ("Assignment") and further in the
event that any of the improvements giving rise to such impact fee credits were, or in the
future are, financed by a community development district or special assessment district
either directly or through acquisition from Development Entity, said impact fee credits
shall be granted by County directly to such community development district or special
assessment district which geographic boundaries are within the area described in Exhibit
"A" per written direction from Development Entity ("Direction"). If a community
development district or special assessment district receives such a credit per this
Agreement, then said community development district or special assessment district is, in
turn, also entitled to freely assign said impact fee credits to any persons or entities which
own property within the area described in Exhibit "A" hereto. Any Assignment or
Direction is restricted to satisfy impact fees attributable to property physically located
within the Community and as described in Exhibit "A." Such Assignment or Direction
shall be by recordable written instrument. To the extent that any purchasers from the
Development Entity have already paid the impact fees attributable to the purchaser's
property and Development Entity has indemnified or otherwise agreed to reimburse said
entities for the payment of any impact fees, the County shall refund the impact fees, with
the party receiving the refund as determined by the Development Entity to either the
Development Entity or the party that originally paid the impact fees.
If the Development Entity has paid any impact fees relative to the Community,
and thereafter becomes entitled to impact fee credit(s) pursuant to this Agreement, the
County will reimburse to the Development Entity the impact fees paid (with said
reimbursement being limited to the amount of the impact fee credit(s)).
Before the Assignment or Direction referenced herein is effective, a copy of the
Assignment or Direction shall be provided by the Development Entity to the County at
the address set forth below:

Section 5. Midway Road and Ran2eline Road
As further consideration for this Agreement, Development Entity agrees to pay to
the County $998,678.00 ("Road Contribution) which represents Development Entity's
estimated proportionate share (as determined by the County) for the County's planned
5
Page 67 of 220
OR BOOK 2942 PAGE 916
improvements to Midway Road and Rangeline Road. Notwithstanding that Development
Entity is entitled to the Roads Impact Fee Credits set forth in Section 2 of this
Agreement, Development Entity agrees to pay road impact fees for each building permit
applied for by Development Entity until it has applied for a sufficient number of building
permits that the road impact fees paid by Development Entity equal the amount of the
Road Contribution. Once Development Entity has paid road impact fees that equal the
amount of the Road Contribution, Development Entity's obligation to pay the Road
Contribution set forth in this Section 5 shall be satisfied and Development Entity shall be
entitled to receive the Roads Impact Fee Credits set forth in Section 2.
Section 6. Recordability of Agreement.
This Agreement shall be recorded by the County in the public records of St. Lucie
County.
Section 7, Requirement for Annual Reports.
In consideration of the issuance of the Impact Fee Credits provided for herein, the
Development Entity agrees to provide the County a detailed written report on the use of
the credit approved through this Agreement. The first of these reports for the year ending
December 31, 2008 shall be due on January 31, 2009, and shall then be due by the 31st
day of January ending each subsequent year. These reports shall be sent to the addresses
set forth below:

FIRST AMENDMENT TO
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT INCLUDING
IMPACT FEE CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (the "Amendment") is made and entered into as of the
1 st day of November, 2019, by and between St. Lucie County, Florida, a political subdivision
of the State of Florida (the "County"), and Riverland/Kennedy, LLC, a Florida limited liability
company formerly known as Riverland/Kennedy, LLP (the "Development Entity").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the County and the Development Entity entered into that certain Settlement
Agreement Including Impact Fee Credit Agreement dated as of February 12, 2008 (the
"Agreement"). Unless otherwise defined herein, all initial capitalized terms used in this
Amendment shall have the same meanings as given to them in the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Agreement established Credits for roads impact fees and parks impact
fees; and
WHEREAS, Chapter No. 2019-165, Laws of Florida, which became effective on June
28, 2019, provides in relevant part as follows with respect to impact fee credits (the "Impact Fee
Credit Law") and applies to the Credits:
If a local government increases its impact fee rates, the holder of any impact fee
credits, whether such credits are granted under s. 163.3180, s. 380.06, or
otherwise, which were in existence before the increase, is entitled to the full
benefit of the intensity or density prepaid by the credit balance as of the date it
was first established. This subsection shall operate prospectively and not
retrospectively.
and
WHEREAS, the County increased some of its roads impact fee rates effective November
1, 2019 (the "Roads Impact Fee Rate Increase") by virtue of Ordinance No. 19-012, which was
adopted by the St. Lucie County Commission on July 2, 2019 (the "Ordinance"); and
WHEREAS, the County and the Development Entity now desire to document how the
Impact Fee Credit Law will be applied to the Credits in connection with the Roads Impact Fee
Rate Increase and any future increases in roads impact fee rates or parks impact fee rates
(including, without limitation, any annual increases in such rates based on changes in the
Consumer Price Index).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants entered into between
the parties hereto, to be made and performed, and in consideration of the benefits to accrue to
each of the parties, it is agreed as follows:
Section 1. Incorporation by Reference. The above recitals are true and correct and
are made a part of this Amendment by reference.
sAATTYWGREEMNT\Riverland Kennedy, LLC - I to Impact Fee Settlement Agreement 1
Page 92 of 220
C08-02-660
Section 2. Application of Impact Fee Credit Law. The Impact Fee Credit Law will
be applied to the Credits as follows in connection with the Roads Impact Fee Rate Increase and
any future increases in roads impact fee rates or parks impact fee rates (including, without
limitation, any annual increases in such rates based on changes in the Consumer Price Index):
a. For purposes of this Section 2, the Credits existing as of the November 1, 2019 effective
date of the Roads Impact Fee Rate Increase are hereinafter referred to as the "Existing
Credits", and Credits which may be received under the Agreement in the future are
hereinafter referred to as "Future Credits". The date that the Development Entity receives
any amount of Credits is hereinafter referred to as a "Credits Receipt Date".
b. When the Development Entity uses Credits: (i) as to any impact fee rates which are
increased after the Credits Receipt Date for such Credits, the Credits will be applied
against the applicable impact fee rate that was in effect and payable by the Development
Entity prior to the rate increase, and (ii) as to any impact fee rates which are decreased
after the Credits Receipt Date for such Credits, the Credits will be applied against the
decreased impact fee rate in lieu of the rate that was in effect and payable by the
Development Entity prior to the rate decrease.
C. By way of example and for illustration purposes, pursuant to the Ordinance, the County
has adjusted the roads impact fee rate of $5,068 per single family unit which was in effect
prior to November 1, 2019, in part, as follows: (i) the rate for single family units less than
2,400 sf has been decreased to $5,015 per unit, (ii) the rate for single family units from
2,400 sf to 3,499 sf has been increased to $6,129 per unit, and (iii) the rate for single
family units 3,500 sf and greater has been increased to $6,222 per unit. Based on the
Impact Fee Credit Law, effective November 1, 2019, the Existing Credits shall be applied
at the decreased rate of $5,015 per unit for single family units less than 2,400 sf (in lieu
of the pre -November 1, 2019 rate of $5,068 per unit) and at the pre -November 1, 2019
rate of $5,068 per unit for single family units 2,400 and greater (in lieu of the increased
rate of $6,129 for single family units from 2,400 sf to 3,499 sf and the increased rate of
$6,222 per unit for single family units 3,500 sf and greater).
d. By way of further example and for illustration purposes, if the Credit Receipt Date for
Future Credits is November 1, 2020: (i) such Future Credits will be applied against the
applicable impact fee rates that are in effect on November 1, 2020, notwithstanding that
the Existing Credits are applied as set forth in subsection (c) above, and (ii) as to such
Future Credits, the Impact Fee Credit Law shall only apply to increases in impact fee
rates which become effective after the Credit Receipt Date.
Section 3. Recordability of Amendment. This Amendment shall be recorded by the
County in the Public Records of St. Lucie County.
Section 4. Amendment. The terms and provisions of this Amendment are intended to
and shall supersede any terms and provisions to the contrary contained in the Agreement. Except
as specifically amended by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Agreement are
hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY IN
SUPPORT OF FLORIDA SENATOR DEBBIE MAYFIELD AND REPRESENTATIVE TYLOR SIROIS'
LEGISLATION ENTITLED HIGH SPEED PASSENGER RAIL SAFETY ACT
WHEREAS, the Florida Office of Public Policy and Government Oversight (OPPAGA) used
funds set aside in the State Budget for fiscal year 2018/2019 to contract with CPCS Transcom,
an international transportation and power infrastructure consulting group, to conduct a study
of Florida passenger rail systems; and
WHEREAS, CPCS released its findings in late 2018, which encompassed an inventory of
all existing and future passenger rail systems in the state, the accident and incident reports of
each and an overview of the jurisdictions that regulate passenger rail including federal, state,
regional and local levels; and
WHEREAS, the CPCS Passenger Rail Study identified a major issue in the state of Florida
regarding the high rate of severe injuries and fatalities and high levels of trespassing incidents
on railroad right of ways due to rail services operating in dense urban areas; and
WHEREAS, the CPCS Passenger Rail Study identified gaps in regulations specific to
higher -speed rail operations and noting there is a glaring absence of regulations governing
higher speed rail systems operating between 80 and 125 mph including All Aboard Florida
(Brightline/Virgin Trains); and
WHEREAS, the CPCS Passenger Rail Study identified the need to clarify FDOT's mandate
on oversight of passenger rail with respect to maintenance, safety, revitalization, and
expansion as the department is given an explicit role to oversee rail planning and
implementation" through the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008; and
WHEREAS, the CPCS Passenger Rail Study found the lack of resources for local
governments for planning rail projects as evidenced by the municipalities which are financially
and technically overburden by massive changes to their infrastructure including roadways and
grade crossings; and
WHEREAS, Brightline/Virgin Trains has experienced over 30 deaths on its rails in 2019
while going a maximum speed of 79 mph before the service reaches speeds up to 110 mph in
St. Lucie County; and
WHEREAS, St. Lucie County has 48 at -grade crossings on the FECR corridor, shared by
Brightline/Virgin Trains, all of which will be impacted with the expansion of double tracking for
the higher speed rail on its route to the Orlando airport; and
Page 98 of 220
WHEREAS, the Federal Railroad Administration has approved the transport of
hazardous materials on the FECR route including Liquefied Natural Gas; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie
County Florida that:

*ACTION ITEM - BOARD
APPROVAL
SUBJECT: Requesting Board approval to offer medical imaging services for SLC employees and
dependents through CareHere.
BACKGROUND:
CareHere will offer imaging services to our employees and their dependents at no cost to the employee for a
trial period of one year. Diagnostic services will be provided by Diagnostic Radiology Center of the Treasure
Coast in Ft. Pierce. The rate billed for all diagnostic services will be capped at 85% of the Medicare allowable
rate. Through the use of CareHere for imaging services we anticipate a savings for our County medical plan
and a savings for our employees. From 01/01/2018 through 09/30/2019 the Plan paid out $182,588.89 for
imaging services. The new rate of 85% of Medicare allowable could have been a savings of $27,388.34. Staff
anticipates a similar savings if approved.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is sufficient funding for this Agreement for diagnostic services in our health insurance plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval to enter into an agreement with CareHere and Diagnostic Radiology Center of the
Treasure Coast to offer diagnostic services to our employees and dependents.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Leslie Olson, AICP, Director
Ben Balcer, Assistant Director
FROM: Jodi Nentwick, Senior Planner
DATE: January 20, 2020
SUBJECT: Text Amendment to the Land Development Code (Commercial Neighborhood)
The applicant, Jeremiah Baron & Co., Commercial Real Estate, LLC, has filed a petition for a Text Amendment
to the Land Development Code (LDC), to allow Self -Storage Enclosed Facility as a Conditional Use Permit
and Minor Site Plan within the Commercial Neighborhood (CN) Zoning District.
The proposed text amends Section 3.01.03.Q of the LDC to allow self -storage facilities, limited to enclosed
storage, as an eligible conditional use within the CN Zoning District. The purpose of the CN Zoning District
is to provide suitable, limited retail trade and service activities, intended to serve the population living in
surrounding neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The amendment would allow petitions for this use to follow the Conditional Use (CU) process set forth in
Section 11.07.00 of the LDC. The purpose of the CU process is to provide for uses that are generally
compatible with the characteristics of a zoning district, but require individual review of their location, design,
intensity, configuration, and public facility impact to determine the appropriateness of the use on a site and
compatibility with adjacent uses. The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), with review standards in the
CU permit process, may further impose conditions, limitations and requirements to a CU permit as necessary
to achieve the intent and purpose of the LDC and the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
The CU process requires public hearings for review and recommendation before the Planning and Zoning
Commission and final decision before the BOCC. Neighbors within 500 feet of the CU location will be notified
by mail with a public hearing notice, in addition to a CU response form requesting written input. If more than
fifty percent (50%) of notified property owners are not in favor, the CU will only be approved through a 4/5'
vote of the BOCC. Additionally, a CU requires notice via posting of the property and a display advertisement
in the local newspaper in accordance with LDC Section 11.00.03.

Staff Analysis
STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN
SECTION 11.06.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
LDC, Section 11.06.03 establishes the standards for reviewing a proposed text amendment. In reviewing an
application for a text amendment, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of County
Commissioners shall consider:
1. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie
County Comprehensive Plan and/or the Land Development Code;
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan
The proposed Text Amendment to the LDC is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is internally
consistent with the remainder of the Land Development Code. The following specific goals, objectives
and policies from the Comprehensive Plan support the proposed amendment:
Goal 1.1: Ensure the highest quality living environment possible, though a mixture of land uses reflecting
the needs and desires of the local residents and how they want their community to develop. The goal shall
be implemented by strictly enforced building, zoning and development codes based on objectives and
policies that will enhance St. Lucie County's natural and manmade resources while minimizing any
damage or threat of degradation to the health, safety and welfare of the county's citizen, native wildlife
and environment, through incompatible land uses.
The amendment will allow the proposal of additional limited commercial activities to serve residents the
surrounding residents, with the safeguards of the CU process.
Objective 1.1.10: Commercial Areas. St. Lucie County shall provide for the establishment of commercial
zoning districts where various types of commercial retail, including commercial uses for retail trade, office
and service activities and general commercial uses for highway -orientated sales and services; light
industrial services uses, and hotel uses may be permitted at intensities which are consistent and compatible
with the surrounding community and the natural environment.
Policy 1.1.10.2 — Require effective visual and light diffusion barriers between residential and non-
residential uses. Standards and requirements for such barriers are to be included in the landscaping
and screening regulations of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code.
A development proposing a CU for an indoor self -storage facility shall prepare a development plan, which
furthers these Comprehensive Plan policies.
Comprehensive Plan Objectives and Policies provide further standards of review for site -specific
proposals.
Pursuant to LDC Section 3.01.03.Q.1. The purpose of the CN District is to provide and protect an
environment suitable for limited retail trade and service activities covering a relatively small area, intended
to serve the population living in surrounding neighborhoods.

Table 1, below, presents eligible uses in the CN:
Permitted Uses:
Conditional Uses:
Beauty and barber services
Car washes (self-service only)
Membership organizations
Day care adult and child
Depository institutions
Postal services
Laundering and dry cleaning (self service)
Retail trade: Gasoline services accessory to retail
food stores, un-distilled alcoholic beverages
accessory to retail sale of food
Repair services includes electrical repair, shoe
Telecommunication towers
repair, jewelry repair
Retail trade (each building shall be less than 6,000
square feet gross floor area) including eating
places, food stores, sporting goods, household
appliances, tobacco products, nurseries, lawn and
garden, low THC medical marijuana dispensing
facilities
A self -storage facility is considered a less intensive, passive, use than permitted uses (i.e. sporting goods
store, food store, and household appliance store) in the CN Zoning District. Self -storage involves the
renting space for personal storage, which is different from other types of commercial property -related
leasing warehousing. Self -storage is different than long-term portable storage units or warehousing,
because it provides direct tenant access to individual units or designated storage spaces. Self -storage
facilities do not involve multiple employees or extensive use of heavy equipment. Self -storage, centered
on consumer use for household goods, cars, and boats, within fully enclosed structures may support access
to needed services by residents.
2. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is inconsistent with the existing and
proposed land uses;
The proposed Text Amendment to the LDC is not site specific but applies to the CN Zoning District.
If approved, a CU for a self -storage facility must be approved by the BOCC. The CU process ensures
any proposed self -storage facilities limited to enclosed storage will be reviewed in context to the
surrounding neighborhood through review of the location, design, intensity, configuration, and public
facility impact in order to determine the appropriateness of the use and its compatibility with adjacent
uses.
The amendment would enable pursuit of the use via a Planned Non -Residential Development
(PNRD)/Conditional Use, with standards of review and development requirements in place as
safeguards. A PNRD achieves non-residential land development of superior quality through the
encouragement of flexibility and creativity in design options in accordance with LDC Section 7.02.00.
3. Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment;
The applicant indicated a need to provide more storage availability within close proximately to
surrounding residential neighborhoods, which ultimately reduces vehicle miles traveled. According
to the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), self -storage has one of the lowest trip generation
rates of most common commercial and industrial land uses.

TLDC-8201925592 LDC Text Amendment
January 20, 2020
Page 4
Within the CN Zoning District, general commercial areas are limited, therefore enabling the use as of
CU provides an opportunity to support demanded neighborhood services, with oversight of context,
scale, and operational specifics.
4. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands on public
facilities, and whether or to the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the
capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage
facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, and
emergency facilities;
Site specific facility impacts, will be evaluated at the time of the CN and Site Plan
application. All future development proposals for the use in the CN are required to adhere to Land
Development Code Section 11.07.03 — Standards of Review of Conditional Uses Permits and
Section 11.02.00 — Procedures for Site Plan Review.
5. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse
impacts on the natural environment;
Site specific environmental impacts will be addressed at the time of the Conditional Use application.
CU proposals and associated development are required to adhere to current environmental resource
protection standards.
6. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would adversely affect the property
values in the area;
Site specific neighborhood impacts will be addressed at the time of CU and Site Plan
application.
7. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in an orderly and logical
development pattern specifically identifying any negative effects of such patterns;
Effects to development patterns will be addressed through site -specific CU and Site Plan applications.
The proposed amendment is limited to enclosed self -storage, within the CN Zoning District, intended
to serve the surrounding residential neighborhood.
8. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in
harmony with the purpose and intent of this code;
The proposed amendment adheres to the public interest and is in harmony with the purpose
and intent of this Code and the Goals and Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Potential
conflicts with public interests associated with a site -specific development will be addressed during the
CU process.
9. Any other matters that may be deemed appropriate by the Planning and Zoning Commission or
the Board of County Commissioners, in review and consideration of the propose amendment.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of County may raise other matters regarding this
proposed text amendment to the Land Development Code at the public hearing.

11.07.00. - CONDITIONAL USES
11.07.01. - General Provisions.
A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to provide for uses that are generally compatible with the use
characteristics of a zoning district, but which require individual review of their location, design,
intensity, configuration, and public facility impact in order to determine the appropriateness of the use
on any particular site in the district and their compatibility with adjacent uses. Conditional uses may
require the imposition of additional conditions to make the uses compatible in their specific contexts.
B. Authority. The Board of County Commissioners may, in accordance with the procedures, standards,
and limitations of this Code, grant conditional use permits for those uses enumerated in each of the
zoning districts in Section 3.01.00 of this Code.
C. Requirement for Four -Fifths Vote When Protest is Filed. In the case of a written protest against an
application for a Conditional Use Permit, signed by the owners of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
area within five hundred (500) feet of the property affected by the proposed action, such Conditional
Use Permit shall not be approved except by the favorable vote of four -fifths (4/5) of all of the Board
of County Commissioners. Publicly owned right-of-way, although included in calculating the distance
of five hundred (500) feet referred to in the previous sentence, shall not be included in determining
the total of the area lying within five hundred (500) feet of the property involved in such proposed
permit application and the percentages referred to.
11.07.02. - Persons Entitled to Initiate Applications.
An application for a conditional use may only be submitted by the owner or any other person having
a contractual interest in the parcel of land proposed for conditional use.
11.07.03. - Standards for Review of Conditional Use Permits.
A conditional use permit shall be granted only if the applicant demonstrates the following:
A. Consistency With Local Code and Comprehensive Plan. The proposed conditional use is in
compliance with all requirements, and is consistent with the general purpose, goals, objectives, and
standards of this Code, the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, and the Code of Ordinances of
St. Lucie County; and is in compliance with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular
provisions of this Code authorizing such use.
B. Effect on Adjacent Properties.
The proposed conditional use will not have an undue adverse effect upon nearby property.
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the existing or planned character of the
neighborhood in which it would be located.
All reasonable steps have been taken to minimize any adverse effect of the proposed
conditional use on the immediate vicinity through building design, site design, landscaping, and
screening.
4. The proposed conditional use will be constructed, arranged, and operated so as not to interfere
with the development and use of neighboring property, in accordance with applicable district
regulations.
C. Adequacy of Public Facilities. The proposed conditional use will be served by adequate public
facilities and services, including roads, police protection, fire protection, solid waste disposal, water,
sewer, drainage structures, parks and mass transit.
D. Adequacy of Fire Protection. The applicant for the proposed conditional use has obtained from the
St. Lucie County - Fort Pierce Fire Prevention Bureau written confirmation, or has otherwise
demonstrated by substantial credible evidence, that water supply, evacuation facilities, and
emergency access are satisfactory to provide adequate fire protection.
Page 136 of 220
E. Environmental Impact. For developments required to provide an environmental impact report under
Section 11.02.09(A)(5), the proposed conditional use will not contravene any applicable provision of
the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, or of Chapter VIII, "Natural Environment Analysis", of the
St. Lucie County Barrier Island Study Analysis of Growth Management Policy Plan, Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. (August 1982).
11.07.04. - Conditions on Conditional Use Permits.
The Board of County Commissioners shall attach such conditions, limitations, and requirements to a
conditional use permit as are necessary to effectuate the purposes of Section 11.07.01; to carry out the
spirit and purpose of this Code and the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan; and to prevent or minimize
adverse effects upon other property in the neighborhood, including but not limited to limitations on size,
intensity of use, bulk and location, landscaping, lighting, the provision of adequate ingress and egress,
duration of the permit, and hours of operation. Such conditions shall be set forth expressly in the
resolution granting the conditional use permit.
A. Traffic Control Devices. Whenever, as the result of traffic generated by a proposed conditional
use, it is determined, based on the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, that there is a
need to install traffic control devices (including traffic signals, signing, and pavement markings),
the conditional use permit shall not be granted except upon the condition that the applicant be
responsible for installing all said devices and signs, or making an equitable contribution toward
such installation.
B. Access Improvements. A conditional use permit shall not be granted except upon the condition
that the applicant provide the access (ingress and egress) improvements determined to be
necessary as a result of traffic generated by the development.
C. Projects Requiring Other Regulatory Approval.
For proposed conditional uses requiring any permit from the United States Army Corps of
Engineers, the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, the Florida Department of
Natural Resources, or any other state or federal regulatory authority, the Board of County
Commissioners shall not grant unconditionally a conditional use permit until it has received
from such agency notice of either issuance of or intent to issue the required regulatory
permit.
2. The Board of County Commissioners may grant a conditional use permit contingent upon
receiving notice of either issuance of or intent to issue any required regulatory permit if it
can make, on a tentative basis and subject to confirmation, the findings required in Section
11.07.03(E). A conditional use permit granted contingent upon receiving notice of either
issuance of or intent to issue any required regulatory permit shall not preclude the Board of
County Commissioners, after reviewing the regulatory permit application and other
information, from revoking such contingent grant of a conditional use permit based solely
upon an inability to confirm the findings required in Section 11.07.03(E) or from protesting
the regulatory permit application.
D. Reduction In Maximum Residential Density. The Board of County Commissioners shall require
a reduction from the maximum residential density permitted in the zoning district in which a
conditional use is to be located when such allowable maximum residential density:
1. Would impose an excessive burden, as determined by recognized engineering or other
professional standards, on public facilities that would serve the proposed conditional use;
or
2. Would contravene any applicable provision of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan,
or of Chapter VIII, "Natural Environment Analysis", of the St. Lucie County Barrier Island
Study Analysis of Growth Management Policy Plan, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
(August, 1982).
11.07.05. - Application Procedures.
Page 137 of 220
A. Pre -Application Conference. An application for conditional use is initiated by requesting in writing a
pre -application conference with the Growth Management Director. The request shall include a
description of the character, location and magnitude of the proposed conditional use, together with a
proposed timetable for development. The purpose of this meeting is to acquaint the applicant with
the requirements of this Code and the views and concerns of the County when positions are flexible.
Within twenty (20) days of the request, the Growth Management Director shall schedule a pre -
application conference with the applicant and other relevant County departments.
B. Filing Application for Conditional Use Permit

conditional use applied for requires site plan approval, the applicant shall submit a site plan
meeting the requirements of Section 11.03.00 of this Code. If, in accordance with Section
3.01.00, the specific conditional use applied for does not require site plan approval, the
applicant shall submit a written statement of proposed use including, but not limited to, the
nature of the use and the proposed improvements to the site. Conditional use applications shall
include a site plan if the proposed use would be located in whole or in part in a one hundred
(100) year floodplain or on North or South Hutchinson Island. Applications for conditional use
approval shall include such other information or documentation as the Director deems
necessary for the full and proper consideration and disposition of the application.
Review by Growth Management Director.

Commissioners and any condition, limitation, or requirement of such decision.
4. Notice of Action. Notification of the Board of County Commissioners' decision shall be mailed to
all parties, and the decision shall be filed with the Office of the Growth Management Director in
accordance with Section 11.00.04(F).
E. Development and Adjustment of an Approved or Existing Conditional Use.
Effect of Issuance of Conditional Use Permit. The issuance of a conditional use permit shall only
constitute approval of the proposed use, and development of the use shall not be carried out
until the applicant has secured all other permits and approvals required.
Adjustments to an Approved or Existing Conditional Use. Adjustments to a conditional use may
be permitted as follows:
a. Minor Adjustments - The Growth Management Director shall authorize minor adjustments
to a conditional use. Such minor adjustments shall be consistent with the intent and
purpose of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, this Code, the conditional use as
approved or existing, and shall be the minimum necessary. Such minor adjustments shall
be limited to the following:
1. altering the bulk of any one (1) structure by not more than twenty-five percent (25%);
or,
2 altering the location of any one (1) structure or group of structures by not more than
ten (10) feet; or,
3. altering the location of any circulation element by not more than ten (10) feet; or,
4. altering the location of any open space by not more than ten (10) feet; or,
5. reducing the total amount of open space by not more than five percent (5%) or
reducing the yard area or open space associated with any single structure by not
more than five percent (5%); or,
altering the location, type, or quality of landscaping elements; or,
change in project name or ownership of the property.
Notice of the authorization of such minor adjustments shall be provided to the Board of
County Commissioners.
b. Major Adjustments in Substantial Conformity.
Any other adjustment to a conditional use shall be a major adjustment and shall be
granted only upon application to and approval by the Board of County
Commissioners, which shall grant approval for such other adjustment after a public
hearing upon finding that any proposed change in the conditional use as approved or
existing will be in substantial conformity with the original approval or the existing
Page 139 of 220
conditional use. The Board of County Commissioners shall place the application for
major adjustment on the agenda of a regularly scheduled meeting for a public hearing
in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.00.03. The public hearing on the
application shall be held in accordance with Section 11.00.04.
If the Board of County Commissioners determines that the major adjustment is not in
substantial conformity with the original approval or the existing conditional use, then it
shall deny the application for adjustment. Such denial shall not preclude development
of an approved conditional use.
Inspections During Development of an Approved Conditional Use
a. Inspections by Growth Management Director. Following approval of a conditional
use, the Growth Management Director shall, at least annually until the completion
of development, review all permits issued and construction undertaken and
compare actual development with the approved conditional use and with the
approved development schedule, if applicable.
b. Action by Growth Management Director. If the Growth Management Director
finds that development is not proceeding in accordance with the approved
schedule, or that it fails in any other respect to comply with the approved
conditional use, he shall notify the Board of County Commissioners of such fact
and may, if he finds it necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, or
welfare, take such necessary action to stop such non-compliance.
C. Action by Board of County Commissioners. Within thirty (30) days following
notification by the Growth Management Director, the Board of County
Commissioners shall determine whether development of the conditional use is
proceeding in accordance with the approved conditional use. If the Board of
County Commissioners finds the development is not proceeding in accordance
with the approved conditional use, it shall either revoke the permit or take the
necessary action to compel compliance with the approved conditional use.
4. Inspections After Development.
a. Inspection by Growth Management Director. Following completion of the
development of a conditional use, the Growth Management Director shall review
the development as completed and determine if it complies with the approved
conditional use.
b. Action by Growth Management Director. If the Growth Management Director
finds that the development as completed fails in any respect to comply with the
use as approved, he shall immediately notify the Board of County
Commissioners of such fact.
c. Action by Board of County Commissioners. Within thirty (30) days following
notification by the Growth Management Director, the Board of County
Commissioners shall determine whether the completed conditional use fails in
any respect to follow the approved conditional use permit. If the Board of County
Commissioners finds the completed conditional use fails in any respect to follow
the approved conditional use, it shall either revoke the permit or take the
necessary action to compel compliance with the conditional use.
F. Extensions of Conditional Use Permits. The time limitations imposed on a conditional use permit by
Section 11.07.05(I) may be extended by the Board of County Commissioners not more than one (1)
time, and for not more than twenty-four (24) months, upon application by the applicant and after a
public hearing held in accordance with Section 11.00.04.
G. Existing Conditional Uses. A legally conforming use that exists on the effective date of this Code and
that is permitted as a conditional use in a zoning district in Section 3.01.03 of this Code shall not be
deemed a nonconforming use in that district, but shall without further action be considered a
Page 140 of 220
conforming use. A use existing prior to its present classification by this Code as a conditional use
may change in use or in lot area or may alter a structure only if the change or alteration conforms
with the requirements of Sections 11.07.05(E) and 3.01.03 for conditional uses. Such change or
alteration may be accomplished only pursuant to the standards and procedures established for the
adjustment of a conditional use as set forth in Section 11.07.05(E).
H. Revocation of Conditional Use Permit. In addition to any other penalty and remedy for violation of
this Code, it shall be a condition of every conditional use approval that such approval may be
revoked for:
(1) Violation of any condition imposed upon such approval, and
(2) Upon complaint and proof of adverse effect on adjacent properties. The permit may be revoked
only after the Board of County Commissioners holds a public hearing in accordance with
Section 11.00.04 unless the permittee consents to a revocation of the permit. If the permittee
provides written consent to the revocation to the Growth Management Director, the Director
shall revoke the permit and notify the Board of County Commissioners of the revocation.
Expiration of Conditional Use Permit. A conditional use permit shall be valid for the purposes of
securing a Building Permit or Certificate of Zoning Compliance for twelve (12) months from the date
of approval. Unless a Building Permit or Certificate of Zoning Compliance is secured within twelve
(12) months, and construction subsequently undertaken pursuant to such Building Permit, the
conditional use permit shall automatically expire unless the permit is extended upon application to
the Board of County Commissioners in accordance with Section 11.00.04.
Limitations on Approval for Conditional Uses. A conditional use permit shall be deemed to authorize
only the particular use for which it was issued and shall automatically expire and cease to be of any
force or effect if such use shall, for any reason, be discontinued for a period of twelve (12)
consecutive months.

Supplement 7
LDC Text Amendment Armlication Supplement
Refer to Land Development Code (LDC) Section 11.06.00 for details
1. If you are requesting an amendment to the text of the LDC, the precise wording of any
proposed amendment to the text shall be provided:
Please see the attached Microsoft Word document, this application seeks to add the use" Storage" in Commercial
Neighborhood, as a conditional use.
2. Please give a statement describing any changed conditions that would justify an
amendment:
Storage is often a use found in residential areas, and there are not any facilities nearby. This design is less impactful
than many uses permitted in the zoning district.
3. Please give a statement describing why there is a need for the proposed amendment:
The current uses (permitted and conditional) do not allow for a Storage facility. Many residents have expressed an
Interest in having more storage available. By providing this in close proximity
to residential development, you ultimately reduce vehicle miles traveled.
4. Please give a statement describing whether and how the proposed amendment
conforms to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan:
The proposed text amendment conforms to the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically
Goal 1.1 of the Future Land Use, as well as the Coastal Management Element. Ensure the highest quality living
environment possible, through a mixture of land uses reflecting the needs and desires of the local residents and how they
want their community to develop; and Balance Growth and Coastal Resources.
5. Please give a statement outlining the extent to which the proposed amendment:
A) Is compatible with existing land uses;
Storage is a natural component of residential uses that predominate the area. The storage units will an
additional amenity for area residents. Storage units are low density, and provide a lower impact to the area
than other types of commercial development.
Revised: February 10, 2011

Supplement 7
B) Affects the capacities of public facilities, including but not limited to transportation
facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass
transit, and emergency medical facilities; (Would it exceed the capacity of the above
public facilities?)
This will not impact the capacity of any stated public facility including transportation, sewage, potable water, parks,
schools, drainage, solid waste, mass transit or emergency medical facilities.
C) Affects the natural environment; (If no adverse impacts are anticipated, please
explain why.)
This property has been previously cleared and is currently overgrown with exotics. Lighting will comply with best
management practices for sea turtle protection. A Full tree survey will be conducted, however, heavy overgrowth
and excessively heavy rains have made that task difficult.
D) Will result in an orderly and logical development pattern; (Identify any negative
effects.)
Yes, the proposed site plan demonstrates this.
6. Please explain the applicant's interest in the subject amendment and how it affects their
property;
The Applicant has a contract to purchase the property if the proposed amendment is approved.
7. Please include such other information or documentation as the Planning & Development
Services Director may deem necessary or appropriate to a full and proper consideration
and disposition of this particular application.
A preapplication meeting was held in the spring to first engage staff and explore the concept.
Please Note: This LDC Text Amendment Application Supplement will not be considered
complete without the Development Application, complete with notarized signatures of all
persons applying for this amendment, or giving their consent to the filing of this application
and supplement.

DATE: January 20, 2020
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment — Future Land Use Flood Insurance Rate Maps

revisions with a new effective date of February 19, 2020. As a participating community within the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), we are required to update the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map

improve floodplain management and to develop maps of flood hazard zones. Participating community
benefits; enables homeowners, business owners and renters to purchase federally backed flood insurance at a
discounted rate.

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
January 10, 2020
Ken Lawson
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The Department of Economic Opportunity ("Department") has reviewed St. Lucie County
proposed comprehensive plan amendment (Amendment No. 19-01ESR), received on December 16,
2019, pursuant to the expedited state review process in Section 163.3184(2)(3), Florida Statutes (F.S.).
We have identified no comment related to adverse impacts to important state resources and facilities
within the Department's authorized scope of review.
We are, however, providing a technical assistance comment consistent with Section
163.3168(3), F.S. The technical assistance comment will not form the basis of a challenge. It is offered
either as a suggestion which can strengthen the County's comprehensive plan in order to foster a
vibrant, healthy community or is technical in nature and designed to ensure consistency with the
Community Planning Act in Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. The technical assistance comment is:
The proposed Natural Resources within the Coastal High Hazard Areas Map (Map CST-4) does
not reflect all the land within the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA). In response the amendment should
be revised prior to adoption to update the proposed Map CST-4 to include all the CHHAs depicted in the
current CHHA Map (Map CST-2), which is based on 2016-17 data provided by the Florida Division of
Emergency Management.
The County should act by choosing to adopt, adopt with changes, or not adopt the proposed
amendment. For your assistance, we have enclosed the procedures for adoption and transmittal of the
comprehensive plan amendment. In addition, the County is reminded that:
• Section 163.3184(3)(b), F.S., authorizes other reviewing agencies to provide comments directly
to the County. If the County receives reviewing agency comments and they are not resolved,
these comments could form the basis for a challenge to the amendment after adoption.
• The second public hearing, which shall be a hearing on whether to adopt one or more
comprehensive plan amendments, must be held within 180 days of your receipt of agency
comments or the amendment shall be deemed withdrawn unless extended by agreement with
Florida Department of Economic Opportunity I Caldwell Building 1 107 E. Madison Street I Tallahassee, FL 32399

notice to the Department and any affected party that provided comment on the amendment
pursuant to Section 163.3184(3)(c)1., F.S.
• The adopted amendment must be rendered to the Department. Under Section
163.3184(3)(c)2. and 4., F.S., the amendment effective date is 31 days after the Department
notifies the County that the amendment package is complete or, if challenged, until it is found
to be in compliance by the Department or the Administration Commission.

requirements and implementing the enforcement mechanism of the Florida Building Code.

FLU- 5 Flood Map Zone, FLU-5A Flood Zones with BFE, and CST-4 Coastal High Hazard
Areas.

Township 35 South, Range 40 East
JoAnn Riley, Property Acquisitions Manager, presented this item. Guettler Holdings, LLC
requested to abandon Whiteway Dairy Road adjacent to their property located at 4401
Whiteway Dairy Road. Whiteway Dairy Road is an existing 30' right-of-way deeded to the
County in 1927 for the purpose of a right of -way and easement in and to said lands for public
highway purposes. It is an unpaved roadway maintained by St. Lucie County and provides
access to property adjacent to the roadway and connectivity and circulation between
properties on Swain Road to Hartman Road. County staff received an email from Robert V.
Schwerer, Esq. on behalf of his client Guettler Holdings, LLC requesting a postponement of
the Public Hearing to February 4, 2020 at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the item may be
heard. Staff recommended the Board accept the request to continue the Public Hearing to
February 4, 2020 at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the item may be heard.
Chair Townsend opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following person
addressed the Board:
Mohammad Hajjar, 45 Valencia Ave, Coral Gables, owns the adjacent property and
asked why the applicant was seeking to effectively close that road. The Property
Acquisition Manager replied that the applicant did not provide a reason and that the
County was still investigating the request. Commissioner Dzadovsky suggested that Mr.
Hajjar could meet with him to discuss the specifics.

Ordinance 19-015 - Update to Ordinance 10-024 - County Logo
Assistant County Attorney Catherine Barbieri presented this item. Section 165.043 of the
Florida Statutes allows counties to designate an official seal. Recently the Communications
Division made slight alterations to the current County logo in an effort to make it more
graphic design -friendly and ADA-compliant. The Communications Division will work with
County departments to phase out the current logo from brochures, vehicles, uniforms,
signage and other promotional items in an effort to reduce the costs of rebranding the entire
County. Staff recommended that the Board update Ordinance 10-024 to reflect the revised
County logo as the new official logo for St. Lucie County.
Chair Townsend opened the hearing for public comment at this time. There being no one

SUBJECT:
Land Development Code Text Amendment — Flood Insurance Rate Maps
St. Lucie County initiated an amendment to the Land Development Code Text Amendment, Section 6.05.02.C.
Basis for Establishing Flood Hazard Areas, concurrent with a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
Series (2018), to update the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) with the February 19, 2020 effective date for
St. Lucie County including incorporated areas.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) notified St. Lucie County of Flood Insurance Study
revisions with a new effective date of February 19, 2020. As a participating community within the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), we are required to update the Floodplain Management within the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code (LDC) to reflect associated changes.
Floodplain management is intended to protect human life and health, minimize property damage, encourage
appropriate construction practices to minimize future damage, protect individuals from unwittingly purchasing
land subject to flood hazards, and reduce economic losses caused by flood damages.
Background:
On January 23, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Floodplain Model Ordinance (18-001)
meeting the NFIP requirements and implementing enforcement mechanism of the Florida Building Code
(FBC). The Floodplain Administrator is tasked with evaluating development applications and enforcement of
the local adopted standards of the Flood Management established for St. Lucie County.
The NFIP, managed by the FEMA, has three core components: to provide flood insurance, improve floodplain
management and develop flood hazard zone maps.
Participating community benefits include enabling homeowners, business owners and renters to purchase
federally backed flood insurance at a discounted rate. This insurance alternative, to disaster assistance, meeting
the escalating costs of repairing flood damage to buildings and their contents.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
On January 24, 2020, this agenda item was advertisement in the local newspaper specifying the Board of
County Commissioners' Public Hearing.

The Honorable Linda Bartz
Chairperson, St. Lucie County
Board of Commissioners
2300 Virginia Avenue
Fort Pierce, Florida 34982
Dear Ms. Bartz:
Community: St. Lucie County,
Florida
(Unincorporated Areas)
Community No.: I20285
Map Panels Affected: Sec FIRM Index
On December 7, 2018, you were notified of proposed modified flood hazard determinations affecting
the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for St. Lucie County,
Florida and Incorporated Areas. The statutory 90-day appeal period that was initiated on
December 21, 2018, when the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management
Agency (F'EMA) published a notice of the proposed flood hazard determinations for your community in
the TCPalm has elapsed. The flood hazard determinations for your community may include the addition
of and/or modifications to Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SF14As), zone designations, and regulatory floodways. SFHAs are the areas subject to inundation by the
flood having a I -percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base hood).
FF.MA received no valid requests for changes in the proposed flood hazard determinations. Therefore,
the determination of the Agency as to the flood hazard information for your community is considered
final. FEIVIA will publish a notice of final flood hazard determinations in the Federal Register as soon as
possible. The modified flood hazard determinations and revised map panels for your community will be
effective as of February 19, 2020, and will revise the FIRM and FIS report that were in effect prior to that
date. For insurance rating purposes, the community number and new suffix code for the panels being
revised are indicated on the maps and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
The modifications are pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster protection Act of 1973
(Public Law 93-234) and are in accordance with the National Flood .insurance Act of 1968, as amended
(Title = of the Flousing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448),
42 U.S.C. 4001-_4128, and 44 C1±R Part 65. Because of the modifications to the FERM and FIS report for
your community made by this map revision, certain additional requirements must be met under Section
f361 of the 1968 Act, as amended, within 6 months from the date of this letter.
It must be emphasized that all the standards specified in Paragraph 60.3(d and e) of the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations must be enacted in a legally enforceable document. This includes
the adoption of the effective FIRM and FIS report to which the regulations apply and the modifications
made by this map revision. Some of the standards should already have been enacted by your community.
Any additional requirements can be met by taking one of the following actions:
3
l . Amending existing regulations to incorporate any additional requirements of Paragraph 60.3(d
and e);
Page 186 of 220
2. Adopting all the standards of Paragraph 60.3(d and e) into one new, comprehensive set of
t regulations; or
3. Showing evidence that regulations have previously been adopted that meet or exceed the j
zni[tttutttrt-rectr�it�rtte�zts ot' para,fraph 60,10 and + i -
r Also, prior to February 19, 2020, your community is required, as a condition of continued eligibility in
the NFIP, to adopt or show evidence of adoption of floodplain management regulations that meet the
standards of Paragraph 60.3(d and e) of the NT- P regulations. These standards are the minimum
requirements and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. }
Many States and Communities have adopted building co& based on the lnterna�i a oifes (I -Codes ;
the model I -Codes (2009 and more recent editions) contain flood provisions that either meet or exceed the
minimum requirements ofthe NFIP for buildings and structures. The tnodel codes also contain
provisions, currently .found in an appendix to the International Building Code, that apply to other types of
development and NFIP requirements. In these cases, communities should request review by the NFIP
State Coordinator to ensure that local floodplain management regulations are coordinated (not duplicative
or inconsistent) with the State or Local building code. FEMA's resource, Reducing Flood Losses through
the International Code: Coordinating Building Codes and Floodplain Management .regulations, 41h
Edition (2014) provides some guidance on this subject and is available at httl?s://www.fema.gov/media-
librart/assetsldocument5/96634.
Please note, any enclosed correspondence from the State Floodplain Manager is provided to assist States
and communities in coordinating to meet State requirements. Its inclusion with this determination should
not be construed as FEMA's specific endorsement of its contents.
Communities that fail to enact the necessary floodplain management regulations will be suspended from
participation in the NFIP and subject to the prohibitions contained in Section 202(a) of the 1973 Act as
amended.
A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community with any
difficulties you may be encountering in enacting the floodplain management regulations. The CCO will
be the primary liaison behveen your community and FEMA. For information about your CCO, please
contact:

To assist your community in maintaining the HRM, we have enclosed a Summary of Map Actions to
document previous Letter of Map Change (LOMC) actions (i.e., Letters of Map Amendment [LOMAs],
Letters of Map Revision [LOMRs]) that will be superseded when the revised F RM panels referenced
above become effective. Information on LOMCs is presented in the following four categories-
(1) LO-MCs for which results have been included on the revised FIRM panels; (2) LOMCs for which
results could not be shown on the revised FIRM panels because of scale limitations or because the LOW
issued had determined that the lots or structures involved were outside the SFHA as shown on the FIR'4I;
(3) LOMCs for which results have not been included on the revised FIRM panels because the flood
Page 187 of 220
hazard information on which the original determinations were based is being superseded by new flood
hazard information, and (4) LOMCs issued for multiple lots or structures where the determination for one
or more of the lots or structures cannot be revalidated through an administrative process like the LOMCs
in Category 2 above. LOMCs in Category 2 will be revalidated through a single letter that reaffirms the
validity of a previously issued 1-0MC; the letter will be sent to your community shortly before the
effective date of the revised FIRM and will become effective I day after the revised FIRM becomes
effective. For the LOMCs listed in Category 4, we will review the data previously submitted for the
LOMA or LOMR request and issue a new determination for the affected properties after the revised
FUUM becomes effective.
The FUCM panels have been computer -generated. Once the FIRM and FIS report are printed and
distributed, the digital files containing the flood hazard data for the entire county can be provided to your
community for use in a computer mapping system. These files can be used in conjunction with other
thematic data for floodplain management purposes, insurance purchase and rating requirements, and
many other planning applications, Copies of the digital files or paper copies of the FIRM panels may be
obtained by calling our FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX), toll free, at 1-877-FEIMA MAP
(1-877-336-2627). In addition, your community maybe eligible for additional credits under our
Community Rating System if you implement your activities using digital mapping files.
For assistance with your floodplain ordinance, please contact the Florida Division of Emergency
Management by email at floods.ordinance`uem.myflorida.com. For general assistance with floodplain
management, contact Steve Martin, NrIP State Coordinator for Florida by telephone at (850) 413-9960 or

FROM: Steve Mar -tin, NFIP Coordinator/State Floodplain Manager

BRYAN W.KOON
Director
RE: Adoption of NFIP-Compliant Flood Ordinances Coordinated with the FBC
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established the effective date
for the revised Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS) for your
community through the issuance of a Letter of Final Determination (LFD). The letter
advises affected communities that they must adopt or show evidence of adoption of a
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)-compliant flood ordinance before the FIRMS
become effective.
Please note that since the 2010 edition, the Florida Building Code (FBC) has included
requirements for buildings and structures in flood zones that satisfy the NFIP requirements
for buildings and structures. All other NFIP requirements must be included in a community
ordinance written specifically to work with the FBC, The Division of Emergency
Management (DEM) has developed a FBC-coordinated State Model Floodplain
Management Ordinance for use by communities.
Communities that have adopted the State Model Floodplain Management Ordinance may
have met this requirement if previously reviewed and approved by our office. In the next
few days, the DEM State Floodplain Management Office will contact your community's
designated Floodplain Administrator, There may be some action necessary even if your
community already adopted the FBC-coordinated ordinance. And if your community has
not yet adopted an FBC-coordinated ordinance, DEM offers free technical support to help
you take this important step while meeting the schedule established by FEMA for adoption
of the minimum required NFIP provisions, You may contact DEM at
flo..ad,ordinancee-em.my_florida.com to obtain assistance with adopting a flood ordinance
Lased on the State odel Floodplain Ordinance.
Frequently Asked Questions, the model ordinance, Instructions and Notes for
adopting the model ordinance, instructions for certain higher standards, and excerpts of the
flood provisions of the 51h Edition Florida Building Code are online:
lttp.!/www.floriddisalter.orglMiiigation/SFMPIIobr resources.htm.
Vie welcome the opportunity to work with you to ensure that your community's flood
ordinance is NFIP-compliant. If you have questions and wish to speak with our staff,

1. Resolution - Public Hearing to abandon a portion of Whiteway Dairy Road in Section 18,
Township 35 South, Range 40 East
JoAnn Riley, Property Acquisitions Manager, presented this item. Guettler Holdings, LLC
requested to abandon Whiteway Dairy Road adjacent to their property located at 4401
Whiteway Dairy Road. Whiteway Dairy Road is an existing 30' right-of-way deeded to the
County in 1927 for the purpose of a right of -way and easement in and to said lands for public
highway purposes. It is an unpaved roadway maintained by St. Lucie County and provides
access to property adjacent to the roadway and connectivity and circulation between
properties on Swain Road to Hartman Road. County staff received an email from Robert V.
Schwerer, Esq. on behalf of his client Guettler Holdings, LLC requesting a postponement of
the Public Hearing to February 4, 2020 at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the item may be
heard. Staff recommended the Board accept the request to continue the Public Hearing to
February 4, 2020 at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the item may be heard.
Chair Townsend opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following person
addressed the Board:
Mohammad Hajjar, 45 Valencia Ave, Coral Gables, owns the adjacent property and
asked why the applicant was seeking to effectively close that road. The Property
Acquisition Manager replied that the applicant did not provide a reason and that the

Hajjar could meet with him to discuss the specifics.

Ordinance 19-015 - Update to Ordinance 10-024 - County Logo
Assistant County Attorney Catherine Barbieri presented this item. Section 165.043 of the
Florida Statutes allows counties to designate an official seal. Recently the Communications
Division made slight alterations to the current County logo in an effort to make it more
graphic design -friendly and ADA-compliant. The Communications Division will work with
County departments to phase out the current logo from brochures, vehicles, uniforms,
signage and other promotional items in an effort to reduce the costs of rebranding the entire
County. Staff recommended that the Board update Ordinance 10-024 to reflect the revised
County logo as the new official logo for St. Lucie County.

REGULAR AGENDA -
COUNTY ATTORNEY
DATE: 2/4/2020
*ACTION ITEM -
AMENDMENT
SUBJECT: Clover Park - Amendment to Agreement with Hoar Program Management - ADD -
ON
BACKGROUND:
The County advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ 16-049) seeking Development Manager/Program
Manager Consulting Services relating to the Design, Development, Renovation and Construction of the St.
Lucie County Sports Complex. The County selected Hoar Program Management ("HPM") and on February 7,
2017, entered into a Contract for Development Manager/Program Manager Consulting Services with HPM.
On February 20, 2018, the County approved Addendum No. 1 to the February 7, 2017 Contract with HPM
providing for additional design management and cost validation services. On April 2, 2019 the County
approved Addendum No. 2 to the Contract with HPM.
As the Construction of the Project enters its final phase, County staff believes that it is in the County's best
interest to provide for an on -site full time Senior Field Coordinator from HPM for the month of February 2020
to ensure quality in construction. Attached is a copy of a proposal from HPM. The proposed cost for the full
time inspector is $31,000.00.
PREVIOUS ACTION:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Financial Impact will be $31,000 from Stadium Renovations Bond Account # 363-7210-563000-187-628.
RECOMMENDATION:

Page 212 of 220

HOAR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

Mr. Ed Matthews
Director of Parks and Rec
St. Lucie County, FL
Re: Additional Services — On Site Field Coordinator
Ed,
Thank you for allowing Hoar Program Management (HPM) the opportunity to partner with St. Lucie County
on the renovation of the Mets Spring Training Facility. We have truly enjoyed having had the opportunity to
support you and your team while through all phases of this project.
As you're aware, the contractors progress is tracking behind as we approach Substantial Completion.
There have been numerous meetings held to discuss and document this, and the contractor has
acknowledged the challenges that they have ahead of them as they try to bring this project to Substantial
Completion before the end of February.
You and I have discussed that schedule is not one of the County's primary concerns with respect to this
project, but you acknowledge that Quality Control is an ongoing concern as the Owner of the facility.
Knowing that quality can often be sacrificed or treated as less of a priority than delivering on schedule for a
contractor, we believe the County would be more comfortable if there was a full-time onsite representative
watching over your investment. The current staffing model that SLC has procured from HPM allows for
weekly site monitoring but not a full-time on -site presence. We do have this role within HPM, our Field
Coordinators are placed onsite to monitor work in place and to ensure it is being installed within compliance
of the contract documents and industry standards.
We would recommend that you consider procuring this role for a one -month period (February 2020) in an
effort to maintain assurance of quality in the end product. If the County finds value in this role and is
agreeable, HPM could place a Senior Field Coordinator (Clayton Waters, resume attached) onsite for the
month of February, at a cost to the County of $31,000. This would be a flat rate and would cover all
housing, travel, meals and reimbursables for this individual. We feel that this may be an investment that
you would want to consider in an effort to attain the quality you expect.
I look forward to discussing this with you at our earliest possible convenience. If you are agreeable to this
proposal, I understand that Robert Alfert, acting as the County's Outside Counsel, will prepare and submit a
contract amendment to us for final execution.
Thanks,
Alan Butler
