10 1
Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 7, 2019 5:00 PM
The applicant(s), Millhess Inc. and Southall, Inc., are requesting approval of a 1) Zoning
Atlas Amendment (Rezoning HIRD to PNRD), 2) Preliminary/Final Site Plan for a Planned
Non -Residential Development & associated Wetland Waiver, and a 3) Conditional Use
Permit for Medical and other health services (SIC Major Group Code 80). The Medical
and other health services is specifically described as a Specialty Hospital, Except
Psychiatric (SIC Code 8609) with supplemental services which may be classified as a
Psychiatric Hospital (SIC Code 8063) and/or Medical Laboratories (testing) (SIC Code
8071) facility.
The subject +/-22.43-acre undeveloped property is currently zoned HIRD, Hutchinson
Island Residential District which is consistent with the RU, Residential Urban (5 du/1
acre) and R/C, Residential Conservation (0.2 du/acre) future land use designations. The
applicant is requesting approval of rezoning from HIRD to Planned Non Residential
Development (PNRD). The subject property also lies within the Hutchinson Island -
Building Height Overlay Zone B, which provides for a maximum building height of 35
feet. The predominant acreage of the site is located on the east side of South Ocean
Drive (SR A1A), approximately % mile south of Anacostia Place on South Hutchinson
Island and contains two (2) parcels of land.
A site aerial was presented which displayed nearby properties of the proposed petition
site. The approved Hutchinson Sands Condominium development is to the North and
the approved Sunset Beach Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to the South. There are
public conservation lands to the Southwest and proposed conservation lands associated
with the Hutchinson Sands Condominium to the West. Further to the North is the
Anacostia subdivision and the Senior Planner noted an update to the report is a
Certificate of Occupancy for a residence within that project, which is roughly 1,250 feet
from the petition site. It was shown that Ocean Village is approximately 2.25 miles to
the North and the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant is approximately 3.65 miles to the South
of the petition site.
The consolidated preliminary and final site plan consists of four (4) buildings, collectively
214,288 sq. ft. in finished area, site access, garage and surface parking, stormwater
facilities, landscape, utilities, other non-residential site improvements, and wetland
preservation. Accessory and support uses such as staff lodging, kitchens, cafeteria,
nurses' stations, fitness, spa, wellness, and other recreational amenities are presented
within the development and operational plans. Further, the applicants are proposing 24-
hour-manned gated restricted access and designated turn lanes for both Northbound
and Southbound traffic entering the facility. It was noted that the applicants are
proposing an access bridge that would be raised allowing for limited impacts to the
wetland area and a dune crossover for secure beach access.
The Senior Planner stated the proposed development would impact roughly 4.69 acres
of the site setback from SR A1A, preserving 79% of the site. He detailed the Proposed
PNRD Preliminary & Final Site Plan with a thorough presentation of each of the four (4)
buildings that would allow for a total maximum occupancy of 220 patient beds (which
11 1 P a g
Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 7, 2019 5:00 PM
accounts for patient quantity as opposed to quantity rooms). It was stated the
applicants have received a Height Variance Approval by the County's Board of
Adjustment for buildings 2 and 3 to exceed the allowable limit of 35 feet in height. The
Senior Planner highlighted site designs relating to parking, required buffers associated
to environmental impact, and mitigation to the proposed 1-2 acres of impact to
wetlands. The applicant has incorporated a request for relief within the PNRD plan. The
relief statement identifies the need to support the facility's 216 employees at -full
capacity and the minimization of wetland impacts achieved by reducing the width of the
parking stalls.
Next, the Senior Planner detailed the Atlantic Wellness Facility's operational highlights
from hours of operation to full continuum of care to licensures and accreditation by the
Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). The process for admission and
discharge of patients was detailed, as was visitation. An in-depth level of service report
along with a traffic analysis were presented. Staff reviewed the projected trip
generation by the proposal internally as well as in coordination with a traffic Consultant,
Nick Mora of Kimley-Horn.
Lastly, the Senior Planner went through staff's analysis summary. Summary points
included the definition of the HIRD zoning district, references to the Land Development
Code, inclusion of an Environmental Resources Department (ERD) final report, and an
Emergency Management Plan (EMP) provided by the applicant and accepted by the St.
Lucie County Public Safety Department. He stated the Planning and Zoning Commission
passed a motion by a 7 to 1 vote to deny the presented petitions at their August 18,
2018 public hearing. The major concerns of the P&Z Commission included traffic
concerns and a plan in the event of a required emergency evacuation. Since the August
18, 2018 public hearing, it was noted that the applicants have submitted supplemental
reports for traffic analysis as well as the EMP.
It was noted that per the Land Development Code, authorization of the Conditional Use
Permit would require a supermajority or minimum 4/5ths affirmative vote to approve
based upon written protest currently filed against the application signed by the owners
of fifty (50) percent or more of the area within 500 feet of the petition site.
Staff recommended that if the Board of County Commissioners finds the request to
amend to the Official Zoning Atlas from HIRD (Hutchinson Residential District) to PNRD
(Planned Non Residential Development), the coupled Wetland Waiver, Preliminary/Final
PNRD Site Plan and the Conditional Use request for development of a Specialty Hospital
(Drug Addiction and Alcohol Rehabilitation) and support uses at the subject site are
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code, staff
recommends the findings incorporate the conditions contained in the staff report to
assure the proposed use, and any future change in development or use of the property
does not negatively impact adjacent properties. The twenty-two (22) recommended
conditions as presented were displayed and read into the record.
12 1
Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 7, 2019 5:00 PM
It was stated the applicant has a presentation for the Board of County Commissioners
based upon the petitions filed.
BOARD DISCUSSION/QUESTIONS
Commissioner Dzadovsky asked staff if the previous site plan included a height variance.
The Senior Planner replied that the previous site plan for condominiums did not include
a height variance. He also stated the Hutchinson Sands Condominiums site plan contains
a height variance, allowing the maximum height within the Hutchinson Island - Building
Height Overlay Zone B. Commissioner Dzadovsky asked for clarification between
authorization for conditional use permits for Industrial zones and PNRD. The Senior
Planner provided clarification.
Commissioner Townsend inquired how many units are in Ocean Village. A member of
the public offered an answer of 1,228 and Commissioner Townsend announced their
answer of 1,228 units.
APPLICANT PRESENTATION
Lee Dobbins, an attorney with the law firm of Dean Mead, stated he is representing the
applicant. Mr. Dobbins provided documentation for the record of resumes of everyone
who is to speak on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Dobbins stated as part of St. Lucie
County Code, everything that is submitted from the applications, the responses, a -mails
and any documentation in the County file is a part of the record and he provided a
duplicate copy of all submitted documents from those representing (and including) the
applicant.
At this time, Mr. Dobbins requested all who wish to speak be sworn in as a group. The
County Attorney stated anyone wishing to speak who was not previously sworn -in
would need to indicate that prior to speaking. The deputy clerk sworn in all those
standing who intended to testify.
Next, Dr. Scott Segal, M.D., M.B.A. explained the operational aspects of the Atlantic.
Beginning with his professional expertise and background, he spoke on the need for
facilities that specialize in treatments and services for drug and alcohol addictions.
Further, he pointed out the lack of world class facilities; moreover, the need for them in
Florida. He addressed the relapse rate of addition and emphasized that the better level
facilities allow for comprehensive and better treatment and therefore, increase the
chance to keep an individual off the drugs or alcohol. Dr. Segal spoke on the differences
on how this type of facility operates in comparison to others. He touched on local
companies whose insurance benefits would be accepted at the Atlantic as well as the
scholarships beds they would offer. Lastly, Dr. Segal explained the high level of security
the facility provides not only to its patients but also to anyone within close proximity.
Then, Andrew Steinberg, Director of Development for Index Investment Group, began
with relaying the project outcome's intention of serving a change in the treatment
industry and also offering St. Lucie County a world class facility that is needed in the
13 1 P a g
Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 7, 2019 5:00 PM
community and the state. He went through a PowerPoint presentation on Index, which
is the Co -Developer for the Atlantic. He provided the company's background, global
vision, strengths, and the portfolio highlights in the real estate division, renewable
energy division and private equity division.
Continuing on, Michael Houston, ASLA, RLA, President of HJA Design Studio, LLC spoke
on the facility from a landscape architect's point of view. He spoke of the uniqueness of
the site in terms of its isolation and the positive affect that would have for treatment.
With the use of aerial maps, he pointed out the approximate 1,000 feet of beach
frontage on the site. Mr. Houston stated he and his team are very careful on their
projects and having worked with the County for over 30 years, he feels they provide the
type of quality projects that St. Lucie County deserves. He overviewed similarities and
differences from the proposed Atlantic project to one that was approved for the same
site a few years back. Mr. Houston displayed the detailed site plan and described two
changes to the project including the bridge over the wetlands and the spacing between
the buildings to allow a central and formal arrival area.
Mr. Houston stated this is a secure gated community with campus style buildings with
gated controlled access to the beach. Further, he stated the architecture was a very
important component of the project and showed a couple elevated views of the
proposed project. A view from the Atlantic Ocean was displayed, emphasizing the dune
elevation and approximately 600 feet separating the facility from SR A1A as well as what
the view would look like from SR A1A. Details were provided by Mr. Houston on the
architectural design from the decorative roof to the terraces. Through maps, it was
shown that the site plan for Hutchinson Sands looks similar to The Atlantic and that
168.6 feet separate them. Additionally, two compatibility analysis reports were
displayed.
Commissioner Dzadovsky asked for the correlation between the proposed Atlantic
Wellness' 222 beds and any of the condominium's number of units. Mr. Houston
explained 222 beds but 145 rooms and detailed the difference in square footage
between the Atlantic Wellness and a comparable condominium.
The last thing Mr. Houston talked about was the Security Plan. He emphasized this is not
a sober home as patients stay on -site throughout their treatment. The procedure for
discharges, devices such as cameras and motion detectors, and manned security were
all detailed. The Chair asked for further details on the process for discharges. Dr. Robert
Sanchez clarified they have an AMA (Against Medical Advice) protocol listing the
appropriate timeframe (24-72 hours) to allow the treatment center time to find a
follow-up place for the patient, whether its home with family or to another facility.
Next, Dr. Sanchez, Psy.D., L.M.H.C., C.A.P, briefly talked about the differences between
The Atlantic and a hospital, emphasizing average length of stay, staffing and nursing
demands, visitors, and trips per bed. Then, Shaun MacKenzie, P.E., stated he is a
Professional Traffic Engineer from MacKenzie Enginner & Planning, Inc. He gave a
presentation on the traffic analysis estimated by the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE)

manual and provided examples of a traffic analysis performed from two similar facilities.
Documents on the ITE Methodology for the analysis were submitted for the record. In
summary, Mr. MacKenzie said based on the data analysis, his professional engineer
opinion, and the analysis of similar facilities, the most appropriate trip generation
estimate is 608 daily trips.
Mr. Dobbins stated the property was appraised by Stephen Neill, Jr., MAI, from Callaway
& Price, Inc. Mr. Neill was not present but Mr. Dobbins read the conclusions of the
report. Documents of the report from Callaway & Price were submitted for the record.
In closing, Mr. Dobbins overviewed the economic benefits The Atlantic would bring to
St. Lucie County, highlighting the amount of jobs, for both construction and within the
facility, benefit to County property tax rolls, and the total payroll that would be
generated. Lastly, Mr. Dobbins stated there are letters of support from the Economic
Development Council (EDC), St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce, Indian River State
College, Sheriff Mascara, State Representative Larry Lee, Dr. Passeri of the Helping
Hands Clinic and Floyd Moody, the owner of the project to the South, the Sunset Beach
PUD. Mr. Dobbins stated the applicant is available for questions from the Board and
requested reserved time for rebuttal.
Commissioner Townsend asked if The Atlantic would request any tax abatements or
impact fees. Mr. Dobbins stated they have not looked at that at this time. Commissioner
Mitchell asked if there are proposed mechanisms in place to reduce interference for sea
turtles who nest in that area. It was stated that is included as a condition of approval to
have low-level lighting and tinted windows to reduce those environmental impacts.
Also, it was asked what could be done if the traffic impact is greater than estimated and
the reply was that staff changes could be reviewed. Commissioner Hutchinson
requested clarification on the wording on the licensing of "partial hospitalization and
intensive outpatient treatment" as this facility would be on -site treatment. Dr. Segal
provided clarification. Lastly, Commissioner Dzadovsky asked the difference (including
federal requirements) between a sober home and a medical facility for drug and alcohol
addiction treatment. Mr. Dobbins stated a facility like The Atlantic is on -site treatment
and there would not be a need for group homes.
8:38 PM - The Chair called for a recess
8:56 PM - Meeting reconvened

The following individuals addressed the Board:
• Harold Melville, Esq., local private attorney stated his office is located at 2940 S.
25t" Street. He stated he is speaking on behalf of the Sea Oats Homeowners
Association Inc., the Diamond Sands Homeowners Association, Inc., Indiantown
Land, Inc. and the owners of the Hutchinson Sands parcel. Mr. Melville stated on
behalf of those parties, they are opposing the applications of Millhess Inc. and
Southall, Inc., for the Atlantic Wellness Center. Further, he stated the opposition
is due to the fundamental reason that this is the wrong location for a hospital of
any type. Mr. Melville compared the total capacity of nearby hospitals to the
proposed 220-beds of the Atlantic Wellness Center. Next, Mr. Melville cited two
main reasons that this is the wrong location: 1) the area is predominately a
single-family residential neighborhood; 2) the location is on a barrier island near
a nuclear power plant,

elaborated that there is manned security gate on A1A, security gate to the beach, doors

foot walls on the North and South sides of the property. It was emphasized that no

patients are voluntary. Chair Bartz asked for clarification that it is self -pay and insurance.
Dr. Segal stated that is correct; there will not be patients there due to court orders or
Baker Acts. It was reiterated that St. Lucie County residents who are in need may have
insurance that is accepted at the facility. Further, it was elaborated that outpatient care
will be patients residing in the facility who are receiving treatment and once they have
completed their treatment, they will be referred to another facility.
There being no one further wishing to address the Board, Chair Bartz closed the public
hearing.
BOARD DISCUSSION/QUESTIONS
Commissioner Dzadovsky asked for a brief summary of the Emergency Operation
Center's procedure for evacuating South Hutchinson Island in the event of a hurricane
as well as the alert system in place for detecting anomalies at the Nuclear Power Plant.
The Public Safety Director, Ron Parrish, answered both questions and explained the
evacuation requirements specific to the Atlantic Wellness' Emergency Management
Plan. Commissioner Dzadovsky requested staff to display a map that highlights
conservation lands that will always remain preserved and noted that preserved area
makes up about 58% of the island.
Commissioner Townsend stated it is a requirement of Florida Building Code that new
structures have either hurricane shutters or impact proof glass windows and the
Planning & Development Services Director confirmed this is correct.
Commissioner Hutchinson asked for clarification on plans for bicycle racks and
pedestrian sidewalks. The Senior Planner stated these are provisions from the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code and can be waived if that is deemed as appropriate
action. The Planning & Development Services Director further stated it is in the Board's
purview to deem these requirements unnecessary for this particular site. Also,
Commissioner Hutchinson asked staff to read the purpose of the HIRD Zoning District.

Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 7, 2019 5:00 PM
Commissioner Mitchell made comments on the consideration he has given to this tough
decision. He stated he understands the citizen's concerns. He also sees the need for
treatment centers for those suffering from addiction. Further, he said the applicant has
done their job in addressing those concerns and as the need is so great, he will support
this facility tonight.
Commissioner Dzadovsky made a comment on property rights and asked the County
Attorney a legal question. The County Attorney stated a denial or approval cannot be
based on the types of people that would utilize the facility as they are seen as disabled
under the law. He further stated the decision can take into account factors such as
zoning compatibility, effect on property owners and/or effect on traffic.
There were comments from Commissioner Townsend on the many factors she took into
consideration in making this tough decision. She stated she will be in support of this
item tonight. Chair Bartz stated she agrees with Commissioner Townsend's comments
that the applicant has worked hard to make the plan world -class level. She also
commented on the hard work that went into ensuring the integrity of the island is not
disturbed. The Planning & Development Services Director confirmed that this is the first
time staff is requiring an Emergency Management Plan prior to the opening of a project
and that typically they require that a year after the opening.
An amended motion was made to approve staff recommendation in addition to
requiring the following conditions of approval:
1. The facility shall not provide outpatient services (for individuals not residing at
the subject center).
2. The facility shall utilize and maintain risk monitor devices for each patient.
3. The Final PRND Site Plan may omit the proposed bicycle racks and/or sidewalk
connection between State Road A1A and the parking lot.

2. Opioid Litigation
The County Attorney presented this item. It was stated this item was discussed at the
April 23, 2019 Informal Meeting. The County Attorney began by providing background
and context by reading excerpts from the Attorney General's Opioid Working Group
"Recommendations & Best Practices" dated March 1, 2019.
On March 18, 2019, the City of Fort Pierce entered into a Contingent Fee Retainer
Agreement with Michael Kahn, P.A.; Romano Law Group; Schochor, Federico & Stanton,
P.A.; Spangenberg, Shibley & Liber, LLP; Douglas R. Beam P.A.; and the Law Office of
Cynthia G. Angelos, P.A.
On April 23, 2019, the Board directed staff to agenda an item to discuss the possibility of
filing a lawsuit to address the impact on St. Lucie County caused by the opioid epidemic.
Governmental entities nationwide have filed suit against opioid manufacturers,
distributers, pharmacies, and/or doctors in both state and federal courts. Several firms
21 1
Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 7, 2019 5:00 PM
have expressed an interest in representing the County. Should the Board desire to
commence litigation, there are several options as follows:
Initiate a formal competitive selection process. The County Attorney's Office
would develop a Request for Proposals, convene a selection committee to
review the proposals, and either recommend one firm/team of firms to the
Board for approval, or, in the alternative, go through the same process but short-
list three firms/teams for Board consideration and selection. This process will
take 60-90 days.
Piggyback the March 18, 2019 Agreement with the City of Fort Pierce and the
firms listed above.
Direct staff to negotiate a contract with one or more firms as directed by the
Board.
Staff requested Board direction: A) on whether to pursue litigation regarding the opioid
epidemic in St. Lucie County; and, if so, B) on the selection process to be utilized for
retaining outside counsel to represent the County.
Chair Bartz spoke on the seriousness of this epidemic, the personal effects she has seen
caused by it, and commented on the actions by companies that have escalated this into
an epidemic. Further, she expressed her opinion that pursing litigation is a necessary
step to combat this and emphasized this crisis has affected taxpayers' money as it
relates to entities such as the Sheriff's Office and the Fire District.
Commissioner Dzadovsky agreed with the Chair on the fact that more and more
evidence shows the pharmaceutical companies have allegedly acted in bad faith. He
further stated this can affect any citizen and that by beginning to change and
breakdown the narratives and stigmas around substance abuse, this country can begin
to fight this epidemic.
Commissioner Mitchell stated he believes the Board agreed that they want to pursue
this, commented on the impact to jails nationwide and stated this is an epidemic and
that time is of the essence.
The Chair asked the County Attorney to repeat the three options for retaining outside
counsel to represent the County.
Commissioner Dzadovsky commented that expediency is important.
Commissioner Dzadovsky made a motion to pursue litigation regarding the opioid
epidemic and subsequently opted to use the firms that the City of Fort Pierce has
already selected pursuant to the City of Fort Pierce's March 18, 2019 Contingent Fee
Retainer Agreement. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hutchinson and upon
roll call, passed unanimously.
