7. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. COUNTY ATTORNEY
1. Ordinance - Scheduling a Referendum Election on November 6, 2018 for a Proposed
0.5 Percent Local Government Infrastructure Surtax
This item was presented by both the County Administrator and the County Attorney.
BACKGROUND
Dan McIntyre, the County Attorney, gave the background for this item. The County
Administrator has discussed with the Board the need for a proposed 0.5 percent
infrastructure surtax. Proceeds from the proposed surtax, if approved, would be used to
improve public roads, reduce traffic congestion, reduce neighborhood flooding, improve
local water quality including the Lagoon and other similar uses. Implementation of the
proposed surtax requires that the Board adopt an ordinance that directs the Supervisor
of Elections to schedule a referendum election to allow the qualified electors of the
County to vote on the levy of the proposed surtax. In this regard, the draft ordinance, if
adopted, would direct the Supervisor of Elections to hold a referendum election on
November 6, 2018 on the ballot question set out in the draft ordinance. If approved by
the voters on November 6, the proposed surtax would be effective for ten (10) years
beginning January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2028. The proceeds would be
8 1 P a g e
Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 3, 2018 6:01 PM
distributed to the County and municipalities pursuant to the formula set out in Section
218.62, Florida Statutes.
SALES TAX INITIATIVE
Howard Tipton, the County Administrator, provided a full presentation on the sales tax
initiative and ballot language initiatives. He began with a brief summary of the previous
surtax initiative that was not successful in 2016. The County Administrator emphasized
the reasons the County is doing this again and highlighted all the benefits. It was said
that the funding for infrastructure has not been able to keep up with demand. The
County Administrator explained that with a continued decline in the purchasing power
of gas taxes, 75 year road repaving schedules, and damaging and costly impacts from
Hurricane Irma (among other reasons), there is a backlog of projects. It was stated that
infrastructure funding generally comes from the gas tax revenues, which has been
declining.
The County Administrator detailed the proposed surtax, stating it would be a half cent
surtax for a period of ten years. He pointed out that the sales tax only applies to the first
$5,000 of a large purchase, for example a car or a boat and would not apply to the
entirety of the purchase. It was stated the average cost for a family would be about $50
per year. The County Administrator reviewed the estimated amount of money the
surtax would raise and explained how it would be allocated. He reiterated it would be a
substantial amount of money that would go a long way towards addressing many of the
County's infrastructure needs.
Next, the type of projects that the sales tax would be used for was detailed. The County
Administrator specified the protective layers that ensure the money is spent as
intended. He also explained that each entity will have a citizen's oversight committee
whose job is to make sure the identified projects are funded through the money
generated from the surtax and that the projects are completed. There was an overview
of how the County is doing this differently from 2016. It was stated there is a stronger
partnership with the cities and that staff has developed an educational component to
ensure the citizens have an understanding of the surtax and the opportunities it could
create. The County Administrator shared the different ways both the county and the
cities are working to support the effort.
The County Administrator overviewed the projects the County would like to achieve,
which includes repaving roads, repairing/replacing drainage culverts, repairing/replacing
bridges, reducing flooding through neighborhood drainage projects, intersection
improvements, installing sidewalks and planning for the future. He also detailed the
projects the cities of Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie are looking to accomplish. The
conclusion from staff is that based on these critical infrastructure needs of the County,
they recommended the Board adopt the ordinance scheduling a referendum election on
November 6, 2018 for a proposed 0.5 percent local government infrastructure surtax.
Staff recommended that the Board approve the draft ordinance and authorize the Chair
to sign the draft ordinance.

Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 3, 2018 6:01 PM
Commissioner Bartz commented that she feels it is important that the public know there
is a word limit on the ballot language and that much of the verbiage is state mandated.
There were no other questions or comments from the Board at this time.
BALLOT LANGUAGE INTIATIVES
The County Administrator continued on by reviewing the ballot language alternatives
and presented the Board with four options. The options included one that was the
consensus of the Board from an informal meeting, one that included wording of "the
Lagoon", a third option that has "add sidewalks" and "including the Lagoon" and a
fourth option with all additional wording plus "North Fork".
Chairman Hutchinson opened the hearing for public comment at this time. There being
no one wishing to appear before the Board, Chairman Hutchinson closed the public
hearing.
DISCUSSION
Commissioner Dzadovsky asked which option was most supported by the cities. Mark
Satterlee, Deputy County Administrator, replied that the most input they received was
from the city of Port St. Lucie on including the wording "add sidewalks".
There was a discussion on the wording options among the Board. In particular, the
Board looked at the differences between options 3 and 4.
A motion was made to approve staff recommendation of the ordinance that includes
the ballot language for option 4. There was no second and the motion failed.
A motion was made to approve staff recommendation of the ordinance that includes
the ballot language for option 3. The motion was seconded and upon roll call, the
motion carried unanimously.

3. Resolution - Public Hearing to abandon a portion of South 40th Street in Pinehurst
Subdivision
(This Item was heard after item 7.B.3.)
JoAnn Riley, Property Acquisitions Manager, presented this item. Angela Gravallese,
President of Grav Inc., is requesting a portion of South 40th Street in the Pinehurst
Subdivision be abandoned. The Board of County Commissioners approved the plat of
Pinehurst Subdivision on December 4, 1925. South 40th Street remains an unopened
and un-maintained right-of-way. The Petitioner owns all properties abutting the
requested right-of-way abandonment. The abutting properties are zoned Institutional
with a Future Land Use of Commercial General. The properties surrounding the
Petitioner's properties are zoned Commercial General. It is the Petitioner's intention to
re -zone the properties for commercial use and develop a commercial project on the
Petitioner's combined properties.
Staff recommended the Board approve the resolution, 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, FL.
Chairman Hutchinson asked if there are any properties that would be landlocked as a
result of the abandonment. The Property Acquisitions Manager stated that no, no one
would be landlocked.
Chairman Hutchinson opened the hearing for public comment at this time. There being
no one wishing to come before the Board, Chairman Hutchinson closed the public
hearing.

2. Murphy Rezoning from the I (Institutional) Zoning District to the AG-1 (Agricultural -1)
Zoning District
(This Item was heard after item 7.A.1.)
This item was presented by Mayte Santamaria from the Planning & Development
Services Department. This petition is for a request for a change in zoning from the I
(Institutional) Zoning District to the AG-1 (Agricultural - 1) Zoning District to allow the
applicant's existing residential development to continue in conformance with the
proposed zoning district. The subject parcel consists of 2.35 acres located on the west
side of Keen Road, approximately 1,600 feet south of St. Lucie Blvd. The site address is
2491 Keen Road.
The subject property is surrounded by AG-1 Zoning District to the north, south and west
and IL (Industrial, Light) Zoning District to the east. The existing uses surrounding the
property on the west side of Keen Road are large tracts of land area developed with
single family homes and agricultural uses. The east side of Keen Road is a 54 acre parcel
owned by Copart of Connecticut, Inc. Copart operates a licensed auto auction dealership
consistent with the Industrial, Light zoning district.
Staff has determined that this petition is consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan and conforms to the standards of
review as set forth in Section 11.06.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code.
Staff recommended the Board adopt the resolution, approving the requested change in
Zoning from the I (Institutional) Zoning District to the AG-1 (Agricultural-1) Zoning
District.
Chairman Hutchinson noted that this item is quasi-judicial and asked for Commissioners'
disclosures:

3. Rezoning: Indian River Spirits From the CG (Commercial General) and AR-1
(Agricultural Residential — 1) Zoning Districts to the IL (Industrial, Light) Zoning District
Chairman Hutchinson noted that this item is quasi-judicial and asked for Commissioners'
disclosures:
• Commissioner Dzadovsky had no disclosures
• Commissioner Townsend had no disclosures
• Commissioner Bonna had no disclosures
• Commissioner Bartz had no disclosures
• Chairman Hutchinson had no disclosures
This item was presented by Kori Benton, Planning Support Coordinator. This petition is
for a request for a change in zoning from the CG (Commercial General) and AR-1
(Agricultural Residential - 1) zoning district to the IL (Industrial, Light) zoning district. The
property is located at 3200 N Kings Highway and the subject parcel is 15.35 acres. The
proposed zoning change is to allow for a manufacturing use in addition to the existing
commercial use on the property. Both uses are permitted in the requested Industrial,
Light zoning district. The proposed zoning district is IL (Industrial, Light), which is
intended "to provide and protect an environment suitable for light manufacturing,
wholesale, and warehousing activities that do not impose undesirable noise, vibration,
odor, dust, or other offensive effects on the surrounding areas, together with such other
uses as may be necessary to and compatible with light industrial surroundings". Given
the underlying MXD (Mixed Use Development - Airport Mixed Use Area Activity Area)
Future Land Use and the existing zoning pattern, the proposed zoning district of IL is
more compatible with the anticipated future development of this area and with the
Airport Master Plan than is the current zoning. Placing IL zoning on the property would
remove the residential density contained in the AR-1 district, which is incompatible with
the airport use, and allow for light industrial uses consistent with the airport and the
Kings Highway corridor.
