Board of County Commissioners minutes for the meeting of Thursday, September 17, 2015 S. PUBLIC COMMENT (excluding Public Hearing items) John Arena, Fort Pierce, FL - spoke about the 87 acres of the Harbor Uplands and how it needs to be developed as a whole for the most good, for the most people. A Harbor like the one in Fort Pierce doesn't just come around every year or so he stated. What is needed is a coordinated plan together in the sunshine. He's been trying to find out what the county has in mind and was shown a 4 x 6' pad of paper. Thank you a dozen sheets and repeated nothings on each page. The piece of the puzzle he was currently interested in is on the 20 acres on the north -end adjacent to the Indian River Lagoon, which is supposedly going to be a storm water pond. He stated if that is so, it would be the wrong thing on the wrong location. He stated that piece of property is owned by all the property owners in our County. We voted for it and we paid for it. Spoke about when he purchased his first Ford van in the early 1970's to purchase my first convert to a camper. He had heard of insulation using partial vacuum technology like what is used in thermos bottles, which was manufactured in 4 x 8' sheets, but was too expensive, so he went with 1 inch Styrofoam. The panels are used by ships to keep the liquefied natural gas cool. Developers of high -end homes have an obligation to the rest of us to encourage future buyers to super insulate their homes so that the technology can become more widely used and reduce energy consumption. He stated that would be serving the public's interest. Rollin O'Brien, 21 Villa Del Norte, Fort Pierce, FL - spoke about the announcement from the attorney general about the United Nations formation of the "Strong Cities Network" (SCN) a law enforcement initiative that would encompass the globe. He stated this amounts to nothing less than the overriding of American laws, up to and including the United States Constitution in favor of the United Nations laws that would henceforth be implemented in the United States itself without any consultation with Congress. He asked what is the global force doing in our cities? It is exactly the abdication of American sovereignty. If the local and municipal effort to counter the euphemistic and disingenuous violent extremism is an adequate the feds and the UN have to step it. The attorney general declared the strong cities network would serve as a vital tool to strengthen 2 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 6:00 PM capacity building and improve collaboration, i.e. local dependence on federal and international authorities. He spoke about the numerous causes the County fights for but this international character, was launched not at the White House for the Department of Homeland security, or even the FBI headquarters or anywhere else that might be fitting for a national project, but at the United Nations. He stated that he was here to hopefully alert the people to what is going on and ask that the Board and assert American sovereignty and individual rights hereunder local level, contact your representatives, exhort them to oppose SCN now and exhort them to keep America free while it still is. 6.

Indian River Estates Stormwater Update - Michael Powley, County Engineer County Engineer, assisted by engineering intern Mike Harvey, provided an update and presentation on the Indian River Estates Stormwater project. He reviewed the past, present and future while noting the project can be divided into two separate components: storm water storage and storm water drainage. The Phase II plans depict the construction of wide -bottom swales throughout the project limits to create the storage component. This swale construction will provide approximately 640,000 cubic feet of storage. The drainage component is achieved by grading the swales so that gravity causes the storm water to flow to the north to the pump station. This conveyance is through a combination of overland flow in swales and underground flow in underground pipes. We now understand that the storm water drainage component was largely achieved. The storm water storage component is incomplete. Our grant funds require us to achieve both components. He spoke on the incomplete project noting two new contractors have been retained to complete the storage project. They are on track to complete the work by November 20th as required by our contracts and recent grant extension. Phase III project is already planned to improve the drainage on Easy Street. Future phases will reconstruct swales to the east and west of our backbone trunk line. 4 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 6:00 PM B.

Public Hearing: Lee Dobbins - Representative for Ruffins LLC, disclosed he has had contact and discussions with the Board and staff in the past on this project. They have had a number of hearings before the Board and various public workshops. The error in the legal description did not describe approximately the eastern 1/3 of the property. Dennis Murphy, Culpepper & Turpening 2980 S 25th St Fort Pierce, FL - provided an oral presentation, clarified specific points relative to specific findings and specific facts that have to be cited in any consideration for land use petition change and for a change of zoning.

It 121Page Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 6:00 PM was reclassified for residential use, then it was deemed to be appropriate to be reclassified back for proposed commercial resort classification. What changed? The property was used for hotel activity, that hotel activity no longer existed after the 2004 hurricane system, it was replaced with a condominium project. With the termination of that project, the current property owner elected to come in and consider putting a resort style facility on the property, which is what changed. There are no level of service issues at the macro level. He stated they do not believe the change of classification in both land use and rezoning would not have any detrimental effects on property values. He submitted a series of property reports for the record from the St. Lucie County Property Appraisal's website affecting the site and a random selection of properties to the north. He stated he feels they have met standards, and request the Board's approval amending the resolution to correct scribbler's error in the legal description. Mark Satterlee, former Planning & Development Services Director, current Deputy County Administrator- commended staff for their hard work and amount of time spent speaking with the public. Multiple public hearings and workshops have taken place and he feels standards have been met for review for these proceedings. All staff reports, documents, comprehensive plans, and land development codes are included in the record. Attorney Otto Robinson addressed the Board and is in opposition of the project. He commented on Mr. Dobbins' comments that the error in description is 1/3 of the land not picked up, he stated at least 2/3 of the land was not picked up. Attorney Holly Robinson helped with technology.

He provided a listing of violations of land use for the project, a handout for Grandee Beach Mixed use activity was also provided for the record. Commissioner Dzadovsky asked Mr. Robinson about the discovery stand point in regard to videos provided as evidence, he also asked County Attorney how the Board and staff should approach evidence that had just been presented. Mr. Robinson stated videos would be shown and explained during the Ruffin zoning public hearing. County Attorney responded staff would need to be asked if they are in a position to comment on the assertions that have been made, if they are not prepared an option would be to continue the case until staff are prepared to provide answers for the record. Mr. Dobbins & Mr. Murphy addressed Grande Beach, 1153 Comprehensive Plan Policy was also referenced. A copy of exhibit D5 which is part of the petition for change in land use was shown overhead.

Mr. Murphy stated everything matched up except the text in the final ordinance documents and notice documents, the necessary corrections have been made. Mr. Otto commented since the description was wrong nothing is valid, also since the notice was wrong it was not effective. Planning & Development Services Director provided a rebuttal and explained that staff has analyzed the issue and staff finding is that it is consistent. Planning Board & Commissioners agreed. County Attorney asked staff to review notices and requested a brief break. The Board granted a 15 minute break. The meeting reconvened at 9:12 pm.
