1. Resolution - Public Hearing to abandon a portion of Poinsetta Avenue in the Tropics
Subdivision
JoAnn Riley, Property Acquisitions Manager, presented this item, which is a continuation
of a Public Hearing held on January 8, 2019. The Property Acquisition Division received
a Petition for Abandonment from Michael Coffey, Chaires Davis, Dana Carlile and
Anthony Richmond requesting Poinsetta Avenue from Australian Avenue north to
Wildwood Avenue in the Tropics Subdivision be abandoned. The Board of County
Commissioners approved the plat of the Tropics Subdivision on September 29, 1925.
Poinsetta Avenue is a partially cleared unmaintained County right-of-way. The property
owners to the north of the cleared area are the property owners requesting the
abandonment of the 25' of Poinsetta Avenue. The County has no intentions to develop
the right-of-way. Several adjacent property owners raised concerns and the Property
Acquisition Manager described how staff has addressed those concerns.
Staff recommended the Board approve Resolution No. 2019-7 abandoning a portion of
Poinsetta Avenue from Oak Avenue North to Wildwood Avenue, instruct staff to publish
the final notice of abandonment and record the resolution, proof of publication of
notice of intent to abandon, proof of publication of the notice of public hearing and
proof of publication of the notice of abandonment in the public records of St. Lucie
County, Florida.
Chairman Bartz opened the hearing for public comment at this time. There being no one

County Attorney Dan McIntyre presented this item. The Board has previously adopted
the six cent ($0.06) local option fuel tax pursuant to Section 336.025(1)(a) Florida
Statutes and a five cent ($0.05) local option motor fuel tax pursuant to Section
336.025(1)(b) Florida Statutes. The levy of the local option fuel tax expires on December
31, 2019. The proposed Ordinance, if adopted, would reauthorize the levy of the local
option fuel taxes from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023. The proposed
ordinance provides that the proceeds of the six cent ($0.06) local option fuel tax will be
distributed to the County and the municipalities and used for transportation
expenditures as defined in Section 336.025(7), Florida Statutes. Proceeds from the five
cent ($0.05) local option fuel tax may only be used for transportation expenditures
needed to meet the requirements of the capital improvements element of an adopted
comprehensive plan or for expenditures needed to meet immediate local transportation
problems and for other transportation related expenditures that are critical for building
comprehensive roadway networks. Staff recommended that the Board consider
adoption of an ordinance levying the eleven cent ($0.11) local option gas tax from
January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023.

3. Ordinance - Amending Subsection 6-26(j) of the Code of Ordinances Regarding
Tethering
Assistant County Attorney, Heather Young, presented this item. On September 15,
2015, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 15-12 which included
restrictions on tethering of animals under Subsection 6-26(j) of the Code of Ordinances.
On March 19, 2019, the Board granted permission to advertise a public hearing on a
proposed ordinance which would further amend Subsection6-26(J). During the Informal
Meeting on February 12, 2019, the Board directed staff to prepare an ordinance
amending the requirements for tethering an animal as set forth in Section 6-26(j) of the
Code of Ordinances to require a responsible person to be outside with an animal while it
is tethered as required by the City of Fort Pierce. Under the amendment, a person over
the age of fifteen would be required to be with an animal at all times it is tethered
outside. The proposed ordinance would amend Subsection 6-26(j) to mirror the
language found in the City of Fort Pierce Code of Ordinances. Staff recommended the
Board adopt the proposed ordinance as drafted.

B. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
1. Adoption of the Proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) Comprehensive Plan
Amendments
Mayte Santamaria, Assistant Planning Manager, presented this item, which was a
continuation of the September 4, 2018 hearing. The St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is
the policy document used to provide guidelines for growth management within St. Lucie
County. Every 7 years, the County is required to review the Comprehensive Plan through the
Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) process. This is a required part of the State growth
management process and is a mechanism for determining whether the need exists to
amend the County's Comprehensive Plan to be consistent and responsive to State Statutory
changes.
The County Comprehensive Plan has 13 elements and a Port sub -element. On September 4,
2018, the BOCC held a transmittal hearing and voted unanimously to transmit the proposed
Comprehensive Plan EAR update amendments to the Florida Department of Economic
Opportunity (DEO) and corresponding review agencies. The state agencies reviewed the
County's proposed amendments and DEO issued an Objections, Recommendations and
Comments (ORC) Report. This ORC report included two objections to the County's proposed
amendments as well as two comments from DEO. Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) also provided several technical assistance comments. To address the comments
received from DEO and FDOT, staff proposed updates to the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE), Transportation Element, Port Element and the Coastal Management Element. The
Assistant Planning Manager highlighted staff's proposed changes, including removing a
sentence from Policy 1.1.18.3 that would exempt charter schools from the criteria required
to locate schools outside the Urban Service Area. Staff recommended that the Board adopt
the proposed EAR -based amendments.
Chairman Bartz opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following
people addressed the Board:
• Paul Nicholson, who resides on 11 Mile Road, expressed his concerns about the
proposed change to the comprehensive plan regarding schools located outside the
urban service area.
91Page
Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 2, 2019 6:00 PM
• Wes Carlton expressed his concern about schools located outside the urban service
area, and highlighted several potential problems that would stem from schools
located in agricultural zones.
There being no one further wishing to address the Board, Chairman Bartz closed public
comment.
Commissioners had the following questions/comments in the course of discussion on
this item:
• Commissioner Hutchinson asked for clarification regarding the previous and current
language used under Policy 1.1.18.3 concerning public and charter schools being
located outside the urban service boundary. She expressed her discomfort with
leaving the newly -worded language exempting charter schools from the criteria and
indicated she supported staff recommendation to take that new language out.
• Commissioner Dzadovsky asked for confirmation that the language of policy sections
2.7.1.1 and 2.1.3.3 supported the future airport connector road, and staff indicated
that it did.
• Commissioner Townsend asked for confirmation that approving staff's
recommendation regarding Policy 1.1.18.3 would not open the County to litigation
regarding school choice. County Attorney Dan McIntyre indicated that it would not,
because staff recommendation was to keep the language the way it currently is.
• Chairman Bartz commented that the original wording of Policy 1.1.18.3 regarding
schools' ability to locate outside the urban services boundary included both charter
and public schools, and therefore she supported staff's recommendation to remove
the newly -added language.
• Commissioner Dzadovsky commented that there is ample land, infrastructure, and
proximity to the USDA currently available at the Treasure Coast Research Park if
anyone is interested in starting an agricultural -based facility.
There being no further questions or comments from the Board, a motion was made to
adopt the resolution with the amended language as suggested by staff and it passed
unanimously.

2. Resolution - Wetland Waiver and Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) Site
Plan - Sanctuary Cove
Kori Benton, Senior Planner, presented this item. Ft. Pierce River Park, LLC, and
representative, Greg Boggs, ASLA, of Boggs Planning & Landscape Architect are requesting
an Amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas (rezoning) from RMH-5 (Residential, Mobile
Home - 5) & RS-2 (Residential, Single -Family - 2) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) and a
corresponding Preliminary PUD Site Plan. The Preliminary PUD application proposes a
residential community containing 25 single-family homes, 37 two-story townhomes, and
various recreational and water -dependent amenities to be known as Sanctuary Cove PUD.
The St. Lucie County Planning & Zoning Commission, at their January 17, 2019 meeting,
voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Sanctuary Cove Preliminary Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Site Plan with conditions. Staff also recommended approval of the
Preliminary Planned Unit Development Site Plan and Wetland Waiver for the proposed
Sanctuary Cove PUD with site plan conditions detailed within the staff report and draft
resolution.
This public hearing was Quasi -Judicial and the commissioners made the following
disclosures regarding this item:
• Chairman Bartz spoke only with staff.
• Commissioner Dzadovsky met with Mr. Boggs.
• Commissioner Townsend disclosed that she lives on Peninsula Drive within 500 feet of
the proposed development and would be abstaining from voting on the item to avoid
any appearance of impropriety.
• Commissioner Mitchell spoke only with staff.
• Commissioner Hutchinson spoke only with staff.
Chairman Bartz opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following
people addressed the Board:
• Amy Wright, 423 Rouse Road, expressed her concern about the proposed density of
housing and potential drainage issues on the subject property.
• Joe Cardenas, representing neighboring parcel Aquaco Farms, requested clarification
on which property owner would bear the financial burden of a separator wall and
raised the issue of future drainage from the two adjoining properties flowing into
the current drainage canal. Commissioner Dzadovsky clarified with staff that the
applicant was building and maintaining the wall.
• Montey Sewell, 427 Peninsula Drive, asked the Board to consider the impact of pets
in this proposed development. He pointed out that there are only a couple of streets
that new residents would be able to access for walking dogs, and asked the Board
and developer to consider including a pet relief area in the plans for the proposed
development.
11 1 P a g
Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 2, 2019 6:00 PM
• Debbie Freeland, residing off of Rouse Road, expressed her concern about the
density of the proposed development, the lack sidewalks along Rouse Road
considering the increase in traffic, and whether septic systems would be used given
the proximity to the river.
• Marion Barnum, 403 Rouse Road, expressed her concern about water runoff,
drainage, sewage, and plans for water supply in the PUD because she currently has
to drill her well deeper to access water.
There being no one further wishing to address the Board, Chairman Bartz closed public
comment.
Commissioners and the Applicant had the following questions/comments in the course
of discussion on this item:
• Commissioner Dzadovsky raised concerns about the sufficiency of parking in the
proposed site plan, their drainage plan, and picking up pet waste since property is so
close to the river.
• Commissioner Hutchinson asked whether this item was brought to St. Lucie Village
for discussion, and staff indicated that it was. She also asked for confirmation that
sidewalks were being added according to applicant plans, and staff stated that the
applicant's plans include putting a sidewalk along Rouse Rd. up to the FEC Rail right-
of-way. She also asked whether the original MSBU for Rouse Rd had that been paid
off and whether that parcel had financially contributed toward it. Staff responded
that the subject property was included in the original MSBU and had contributed
toward those infrastructure improvements.
• Commissioner Dzadovsky stated that he would not support putting septic systems
on the Lagoon and staff clarified that the applicant was proposing connecting to the
sewer system and there would not be any septic on -site. Commissioner Dzadovsky
also raised the issue of potentially creating a future MSBU to bring water to St. Lucie
Village residents in that area.
• Chairman Bartz indicated that she would support approval of the item because it
was a preliminary approval and suggested that the applicant take into consideration
all the comments from residents, staff, and Commissioners when drafting the final
plan.
• Greg Boggs thought that adding a pet walk was a great idea and stated the PUD
would have plenty of space for it. He will also look at adding more guest parking.
