This item was presented by Properties Acquisition Manager JoAnn Riley. On July 27, 2015, the

Pursuant to Section 197.502(8) Florida Statutes, three years after the day the land was
offered for public sale, the land shall escheat to the County in which it is located.
The parcels escheated to St. Lucie County and the Escheatment Tax Deeds were recorded.
As authorized by Section 125.35, Florida Statutes, the Board of County Commissioners
adopted Ordinance No. 02-18, Ordinance No. 10-029 and Ordinance No. 11-014 prescribing
an alternative method to sell, dedicate or donate real property owned by the County. The
County has determined it has no need for these parcels.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT & BUDGET
Resolution - Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget
Jennifer Hill, OMB Director, presented this item. The audit of the Board of County
Commissioners Fiscal Year 2018 Financial Statements has been completed and staff has
calculated the actual beginning balances of numerous funds. Therefore, we are recognizing
additional balance forward that was not appropriated in the 2018 adopted budget.
Additionally, staff has found the need to revise certain revenue estimates and to establish
transfers for various purposes.
This resolution will amend the fiscal year 2018-2019 budget to reflect the actual beginning
cash balances, revised revenue estimates and establish transfer. All of these changes total
$22,018,891. This public hearing was advertised on Thursday August 15, 2019.
Staff recommended Board approval of budget resolution amending the fiscal year 2018-2019
budget.

C. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
1. 1st Public Hearing - Second Amendment to Development Agreement with FVP Miami Lakes,
LLC - Silver Oaks PUD
Chair Bartz noted this item is quasi-judicial and asked for Commissioners' disclosures:
• Commissioner Hutchinson spoke with the applicant and staff
• Commissioner Dzadovsky spoke with the applicant and staff
• Commissioner Townsend spoke with the applicant and staff
• Commissioner Mitchell spoke with the applicant and staff
• Chair Bartz spoke with the applicant and staff
This item was presented by Linda Pendarvis, Development Review Coordinator. Public notice
was mailed to owners of property within a 500 foot radius of the subject property and an ad
was placed in the newspaper on August 11, 2019. The subject property consists of
approximately 155 acres located at the southeast corner of Silver Oak Drive and Tilton Road
approximately half a mile east of the intersection of Prima Vista Blvd and Lennard Road.
On April 29, 2009, the County and Lennar Homes, LLC entered into a Development Agreement
concerning the Silver Oaks Planned Unit Development (PUD). The term of the agreement was
three (3) years. On October 12, 2012, the County entered into a First Amendment with FVP
Miami Lakes, LLC, successor to Lennar Homes, LLC. The First Amendment extended the
Agreement an additional five (5) years.
The original approved site plan for Silver Oaks PUD contemplated the construction of two
hundred thirty-four (234) multi -family units and ninety-one (91) single family units. The site
also contemplated the preservation of forty-five point seventy-two (45.72) acres of wetland
6 1 P a g e

area and twenty-five point twenty-eight (25.28) acres of upland areas. The Developer
dedicated the right of way for the proposed Lennard Road extension to the County in return
for road impact fee credits. The Developer also agreed to pay certain assessments levied
against single family residential property within Lennard Road MSBU No. 2 and MSBU No. 3.
PROPOSED SECOND AMENDMENT
The proposed second amendment to the April 29, 2009 Development Agreement proposes
the following:
1. The Developer will convey 20.63 acres to the County as identified in Exhibit "A" to the
Second Amendment for use as stormwater retention for the drainage basin and for the
proposed Lennard Road extension. The acreage calculation was based on advice from Kimley-
Horn consulting engineers who have been working with County staff on stormwater issues in
the drainage basin. The Developer's conveyance will result in a reduction of nine (9) single
family units from ninety-one (91) units to eighty-two (82) units. The County retained Daniel D.
Fuller, MAI, to appraise the value of the Developer's proposed conveyance to the County. Mr.
Fuller valued the conveyance at $390,000.00.
2. In consideration of the Developer conveying the property identified in Exhibit "A", the
County would agree that the Developer's proportionate fair share contribution of
$340,764.00 identified in Section 4 (J) of the Development Agreement has been paid in full.
3. The Developer is proposing that the term of the Development Agreement be extended for
an additional twelve (12) years, which will be deemed effective and retroactively commencing
upon November 1, 2017.
State law provides that two (2) public hearings are required before an amendment to a
Development Agreement can be approved.
This is the first of two public hearings. Staff recommended that the Board authorizes staff to
schedule the second required public hearing for the Silver Oaks PUD Development Agreement
on September 3, 2019 at 6:00 PM or there soon after to consider the proposed Second
Amendment to the April 29, 2009 Development Agreement.

B. COUNTY ATTORNEY
1. Amended and Restated Facilities Use Agreement - Replacement of Stadium Seats Installed
Prior to 2011
The County Attorney presented this item. At the Board's August 13 informal meeting, County
staff presented a PowerPoint presentation updating the Board on the status of the Stadium
renovation including the status of the County funded items. One of the issues discussed was
the possible replacement of stadium seats installed prior to 2011. County staff indicated that
staff was intending to replace seat bottoms — but not the seat tops. At the meeting, the Board
expressed a desire to replace the seats installed prior to 2011 including the seat tops.
The estimated cost to replace the seats (bottoms and tops) is approximately $344,000.00
(scope description: install 4959 new Senator seats and backs and associated hardware and
8 1 P a g e
BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, August 20, 2019 9:00 AM
accessories under contract with Irwin Seating Company Quote No. 201900499). The cost to
replace the seat tops is estimated at $130,000.00 to $160,000.00. At the August 13 informal
meeting, County staff indicated that the estimated cost savings for owner direct purchases
("ODP") of items greater than $10,000.00 was $400,000.00. Unfortunately, subsequent to the
August 13 meeting, County staff received a memorandum from a representative of the
construction manager, Barton Malow, indicating that the estimated cost savings from ODP
was $52,000.00 to $70,000.00. County staff is also reviewing the feasibility cost of providing
UV protection for the seats and will report back to the Board at a later date.
At the August 13 meeting, County staff indicated that the deadline to order the seats without
impacting the schedule is Friday, August 23, 2019. Given this date and given the Board's
desire to replace the seats, staff recommends that the Board authorize staff to order the
replacement seats before Friday, August 23.
Due to the uncertainty of the amount of ODP savings, staff recommends that the Board
authorize funding the seat replacement from ODP savings supplemented as necessary from
additional interest rate earnings.
Staff recommended that the Board authorize staff to order the replacement seats from Irwin.
Commissioner Townsend asked for an update on the possibility that ads be placed on the
stadium seats to offset the cost. The County Attorney stated due to time constraints any
additions to the seats such as UV protection or ads can be discussed later on once the seats
have been purchased. Commissioner Townsend asked for clarification of the total price for
the seats and the County Attorney said it is approximately $344,000.
Commissioners Dzadovsky, Mitchell and Bartz expressed their support of this item as it will
alleviate safety concerns at the stadium. Additionally, Commissioners Mitchell and Bartz
stated their support of UV protection for the seats.
A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously.
