RE: Fort Pierce Annexations
On 12/20/04 Assistant County Attorney Heather Young and I represented the county at the
City of Fort Pierce public hearings on five ordinances to extend the territorial limits of the
City. I also represented the county at the deliberation on Resolution 04-40 requesting
legislation to authorize more global annexations to more clearly define the city's boundaries
and to eliminate "fingers and enclaves".
Summary:
1. By a vote of 3-2 (Nelson, Alexander nay) the Council approved the ordinances,
effective 12/31.
2. By a vote of 4-1 (Alexander nay) the Council approved Resolution 04-40. Legislation
will be presented to the delegation on 01/06/05.
3. Heather entered into the hearing record
· Hutchinson letter dated 12/14/04
· Two maps of large and small focus demonstrating the properties under
consideration relative to contiguity
· State annexation law reference
· Three county/city court cases relative to annexation
4. Heather made it clear the county's position at this hearing is not opposition but only
a request to delay the annexations until a scheduled county / city discussion on
01/14/05.
5. The City Administrator and City Attorney assured the Council the proposed
annexations are voluntary and legal and in keeping with both the letter and spirit of
the agreement reached between the city and county in January, 2004.
6. The City Administrator demonstrated by marking a map (turned to the Council and
not visible to the audience) the overall plan of annexation of whichtbeannexªtiQns
under current consideration are a part. He attested there wiH De â seri'ès:¡of

additional group annexations until the plan is fulfilled.
7. The Mayor voiced concern with the county's position relative to the annexations and
stated the City's annexation plan is in keeping with the January, 2004 agreement.
Growth Management will obtain city information on the boundaries as envisioned in
Resolution 04-40 and do a map to demonstrate.

RE: Proposed Annexations - Selvitz Road
DearM~cb
At its December 14, 2004 regular Board meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of St.
Lucie County, Florida, voted 5-0 to request that the Fort Pierce City Commission defer action on
the adoption of all of the proposed annexation ordinances (K-306, K-307, K-308, K-309 and K-31O)
scheduled for second reading on Monday, December 20, 2004 until after our January 14, 2005 joint
meeting. It appears that two of the parcels proposed to be annexed on December 20 are scheduled
for public hearing on proposed development approvals before the Board of County Commissioners
on December 21. The City may wish to consider what the effect of not annexing these two parcels
would have on the remaining parcels. Continuation of the public hearings past January 14, 2005
would allow the City and the County to discuss the draft Joint Planning Agreement at our January
14,2005 joint meeting. The Board is very interested in discussing any remaining issues and finalizing
this Agreement.
If you have any questions, please Jet me know.

Agreement upon execution of this Agreement. When provided, the FPUA shall provide such bulk
services to the County without the requirement of annexation into the City as a condition to such

maintain and replace such master meter(s) and other devices. All master meters and backflow
prevention devices shall be tested annually by FPUA, with the cost of such testing to be paid by S1.
Lucie County. FPUA shall provide service to St. Lucie County at the points of connection in
accordance with then existing regulations and standards not in conflict with the terms of this
Agreement or the Charter of the City of Fort Pierce.
4. Rates and Charges: St. Lucie County agrees to pay the following bulk rates for the
services requested. FPUA shall charge S1. Lucie County for bulk water service at a rate of $1.90 per
thousand gallons (the "Bulk Water Rate"), for bulk wastewater service at a rate of$4.60 per thousand
gallons (the "Bulk Wastewater Rate") and a rate for bulk reclaimed water service (including Capital
Improvement Charges, if any) as shall be agreed upon between the parties at such time as FPUA
institutes a reclaimed water service program (the "Bulk Reclaimed Water Rate"), all as measured at
master meter(s) for each service (collectively, the "Bulk Service Rates"). Bulk wastewater volumes
for billing shall be determined from bulk water meter readings and retail irrigation-only meter
readings within the bulk water service area, as described in Paragraph 6. The Bulk Service Rates may
be revised from time to time by FPUA, at such time and in the same percentage as FPUA revises its
retail residential customer class commodity charges for the lowest consumption level. There shall be
no surcharge imposed on the Bulk Rates charged to St. Lucie County. Retail water and wastewater
rates estab lished by St. Lucie County for the bulk water service areas shall be structured such that they
will not be lower than the retail water and wastewater rates for FPUAcustomers within the City of
Fort Pierce.
5 Pavments of Water /Wastewater Capital Improvement Charges:
a. Provisions with respect to St. Lucie' County's payment of Water and Wastewater
Capital Improvement Charges are as follows: Water Capital Improvement Charges: $1,378.00 per
g:l,mylagreemnlÌnterloclfpua-Ex4 2-9
· . .
~
...",.¡
equivalent residential connection ("ERC"). A Water ERC is based upon 300 gallons per day;
Wastewater Capital Improvement Charges: $1,222.00 per ERC. A Wastewater ERC is based upon
240 gallons per day. Separate Capital Improvement Charges will be assessed for irrigation-only water
use, in accordance with standard FPUA policies. All Capital Improvement Charges maybe revised
from time to time by FPUA, at such time and in the same percentage as the FPUA revises its retail
residential customer class Capital Improvement Charges. There shall be no other capital or impact
charges to St. Lucie County for Bulk Service.
b. St. Lucie County will collect the Water Capital Improvement Charges and Wastewater
Capital Improvement Charges and remit the same to FPUA upon the earlier of the initial provision
of utility service by St. Lucie County to a customer or the receipt of payment by St. Lucie County of
such Capital Improvement Charges pursuant to a developers agreement reserving utility capacity with
St. Lucie County. St. Lucie County and FPUA shall resolve in good faith any issues regarding
whether a particular customer or developer agreement is being provided utility service pursuant to this
Bulk Service Agreement. St. Lucie County and FPUA shall perform a true-up of Capital
Improvement Charge payments as of October 1 of each year during the term of this Agreement based
upon the average daily flows for the prior 12 months, as measured at the master meter(s), divided by.
the agreed upon WaterERC and Wastewater E.RÇs.~tiQl:thªþoy~J"Tæ.~JJ,º)~RC's). In the event
that the True Up ERC's exceed the number ofERC's for which St. Lucie County has made payment
to FPUA, then St. Lucie County shall pay the difference between the True Up ERC's and the paid
ERC's. Ifbulk average daily flows indicate a lower demand than ERC projections, there shall be no
downward adjustment ofERC's or Capital Improvement Charges. The bulk wastewater service areas
will coincide with bulk water service areas. .
c. It is the intention ofFPUA to utilize the existing South Hutchinson Island (SRI) Water
Reclamation Facility (WRF) to it's fullest capacity. ERC's for wastewater treatment will be issued
to FPUA and St. Lucie County bulk wastewater customers until 100% of the SRI 'WRF capacity is
reached. St. Lucie County agrees that Capital Improvement Charges collected for bulk wastewater
ERC's connected to the SRI 'WRF are reimbursements to FPUA for sunk cost of treatment and
transmission facilities necessary to transport and treat the wastewater. Both parties understand that
when certain capacity limits are reached, State regulations require certain steps to be taken to start the
process for a new plant to be sited, designed and constructed. Both parties agree that in the event the
SRI WRF is required to be taken out of service by a regulatory agency or by any statute, rule,
regulation or court order, it will be the joint responsibility of St. Lucie County and FPUA to plan for
replacement capacity at another site. FPUA and St. Lucie County will plan for and construct the
future mainland wastewater treatment plant as partners, with each party paying it's share of costs on
an allocated capacity basis, rather than a capital improvement charge basis.
6. Billing: FPUA shall bill St. Lucie County each month for Bulk Service, subject to
the provisions of the FPUA rules and regulations, as amended from time to time. Bulk wastewater
billings shall be based upon bulk water meter readings, less the aggregate sum of all irrigation-only
water meter readings within the County's bulk water service area. FPUA shall separate each month's
bíll by points of connection between FPUA and St. Lucie County. Bills are due when rendered and
wi1l be considered late ifnot paid within 15 days. Notwithstanding provisions in the FPUA Code to
the contrary, FPUA shall not discontinue Bulk Service to St. Lucie County for non-payment unless
it has provided St. Lucie County 30 days written notice of FPUA' s intention to discontinue service
for non-payment by St. Lucie County with a right to cure. In the event of a dispute over the accuracy
of a bill, St. Lucie County shall pay the non-disputed portion of the bill to FPUAand provide FPUA
written notice detailing the reason for the disputed portion of the bill. FPUA shall not discontinue
service for non-payment of the disputed portion of the bill. Disputes over billing accuracy that are
not amicably resolved between the parties within 20 days of written notice to FPUA from St. Lucie
County shall be resolved pursuant to the Dispute Resolution provisions set forth in Section 10 below.

Faye Outlaw, Assistant County Administrator

December 6,2004
FROM:
RE:
City of Fort Pierce Future Annexations (Public Hearing - December 20,2004)
I have reviewed the request for annexation by the City of Fort Pierce for the area reflected
on the attached "Annexation Area" maps. The request is for a "Voluntary Annexation" and
is regulated under the requirements found within Florida Statutes (F.S., Chapter 171). In
consideration of this proposed annexation, I have prepared the following comment:
By definition, an area proposed for annexation by a municipality must be "compact".
This annexation project appears to create pockets and finger areas, which appears
to violate the requirement for compact annexation (F.S. 171.044 and F.S. 171 -
Definitions [12]).
This proposal represents an area in excess of 200 acres. The area of annexation
could not be defined as being reasonably "compact" under State Statutes or any
other perspective. Planning efforts for a geographic location of this scale and
magnitude would require considerable involvement on the part of local and state
regulatory agencies as a result of future land development.
In as much as the County has already accepted growth management
responsibilities for this unincorporated area, the City needs to document how it
intends on providing the necessary urban services such as water, sewer, refuse
collection, and police in an effective manner. Under this proposal, a duplication of
services could occur between the City and County.
Furthermore, the City must address how it intends to accept the cost of ownership
for maintenance responsibilities of existing County roads and rights-of-way within
the annexation area. The City must undertake a financial analysis in order to
account for the costs of providing sufficient urban services to future residents and
businesses. This exercise should assist the City in realizing the cost impact to
provide the needed services.
'-"
..,
City of Fort Pierce Future Annexations
December 6, 2004
Page 2
At this time, the City of Fort Pierce has not sufficiently proven its ability to
comprehensively meet the urban service requirements as reflected under the
Florida Statutes. In that the annexation request represents such a large, non-
compact, accumulation of individual land tracts, the burden of proof to effectively
manage future growth in accordance with State requirements falls upon the City.
The County has already undertaken this process through its adopted
Comprehensive Plan efforts.
In what appears to be the creation of finger areas, the City must primarily account
for this non-conformance with State requirements. It is recommended that these
issues be discussed with and resolved by the City of Fort Pierce prior to its
December 20th public hearing on this matter.

Senator Ken Pruitt
1850 SW Fountainview Blvd., Suite 200
Port St. Lucie, FL 34986-3443
Dear Senator Pruitt:
During the course of this year, Fort Pierce City elected offiåals and staff have met
with various members of the local legislative delegation specifically for the purpose
of discussing a legislative act to assist the City of Fort Pierce in squaring off its
municipal boundaries.
Attached to this correspondence is the proposed bill, a map reflecting the area
proposed to be annexed as well as a resolution passed by the City of Fort Pierce
Commission requesting this be presented to the Florida LegislabJre. If you review the
overall map of boundaries of the City of Fort Pierce and the legend that describes
what the various colors indicate, it becomes obvious that the irregular boundaries
need to be addressed. Please keep in mind that these irregular lines are a result of
fifty years of voluntary annexations acquired by the City of Fort Pierce, based on a
policy of extending water and wastewater to properties in return for their agreement
to annex. The blue areas reflect annexation agreements that have not been acted
on and the yellow area reflects unincorporated properties within our water and
wastewater setvice area.
The City of Fort Pierce and the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority recently entered into an
agreement with St. Lucie County wherein fubJre municipal boundaries and water
service area of our municipality are defined. That area is essentially south to Midway
Road and Indian River Estates, west to the Florida Turnpike, north to Airport
Boulevard and east to the waterway.
The City of Fort Pierce is requesting from the Florida LegislabJre by special act
assistance in squaring off the boundaries. The first area we are working toward is
outlined on the attached maps. The proposed local bill addresses irregular

boundaries and future growth in the established City water and wastewater seTVice
area. This legislation win facilitate delivery of emergency services, utility services in
urban developed areas and City planning.
Over the next several years, it is the intent of the City of Fort Pierce to bring a series
of proposed bills to the Florida Legislature to assist with this matter. This bill will be
presented to the St. Lucie County Legislative Delegation January 6, 2005 by City
representative. Meetings will be conducted with individual St. Lucie County
Commission members between now and that time. The notice of proposed
legislation was advertised in ìñe Tribune' on December 16, 2004 (copy -attached).

Education + Action = Wind Mitigation
Proposed Proj ect Presentation
Group I. Description of Need, Proposed Solution, and Expected Benefits
1. Identify problem
Over 2000 homes are condemned in S1. Lucie County due to the onslaught
of Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. According to the December 23,2004 FEMA
Summary of Temporary Housing, the total number of requests includes: 1090
leased travel trailers on private property, 13 mobile homes on private property, 394
travel trailers on commercial property, and 39 mobile homes on commercial
property. A total of 1318 units have been completely leased in. Although FEMA
provide these units, insurance companies provide temporary housing if it is
included in the policy. Daily costs rise to individuals, the state and the federal
government to provide temporary housing and long-term new affordable housing
to those impacted by the hurricanes. Thus, this program to educate the public and
install wind protective retrofits on low income homes will cost only a minimal
amount compared to the long-term costs that would occur if left unprotected.
Many people are living in their homes even with water damage and mold
spreading through the walls. The primary problem was homes were not well
prepared to withstand hurricane winds. Through the long-term recovery process,
people need to strengthen their homes and businesses so they can withstand future
hurricanes. Everyone's now understands the damage hurricanes can cause and are
more likely to consider retrofitting their homes with wind protection measures.
This is the perfect time to educate people on how to strengthen their homes. Since
many people are replacing roofs and windows, they could be encouraged to take
extra measures to mitigate future wind events.
To take advantage of this heightened awareness, University of Florida IFAS
Extension, Habitat for Humanity, and St. Lucie County Community Services
Department has partnered together in this action-oriented program. Mercedes
Homes has offered to provide reduce prices for hurricane panels to be used on
homes built by Habitat for Humanity or through the State Housing Initiative
Program (SHIP). This will stretch the program dollars further.
This multi-faceted program will build upon the programs already in place at
the St. Lucie Windstorm Damage Mitigation Training and Demonstration Center,
aka. The Hurricane House, a facility designed for residents to learn more about
building constructions features that can be incorporated into their construction
plans or use when retrofitting their homes for windstorm damage resistance.
4
~
'...,/
Located just off of State Road 70 and 1-95, it is convenient for Treasure Coast
residents and not that long of a drive for those people rebuilding their homes that
were damaged from Charley on the west coast of Florida.
The goal of the educational portion of the program includes: develop five
educational hand-outs that depict low cost retrofit methods, provide educational
workshops to the public about how to implement these methods, provide
professional contractor certification workshops on windstorm damage resistance.
The action portion of the project includes hiring a temporary full-time employee to
implement the workshops for the public, assist with the development of the
educational materials and coordinate the outreach component with statewide
media. This person will also be trained by University of Florida experts to assess
low- income residents' homes, assist them in development of a "home
strengthening plan", and help them implement the plan with volunteers or
professional contractors.
I
Although grant funds are allocated for purchasing hurricane panels,
hurricane clips or other house-strengthening items for low-income residents, the
workshops will be open to all income levels. The workshops will be held in several
different areas on the Treasure Coast so that many people will have the opportunity
to attend. In addition, the five fact sheets that will be developed will be reproduced
in newspapers and on the Hurricane House website. The 12-month pilot program
would enable the developed materials and evaluation process to be incorporated
into other qualifying homes. A program would be developed and delivered to
construction industry professionals highlighting wind mitigation techniques.
Records will be kept to document how many people attended the workshops
and how many homes were retrofitted and at what cost. This project will aid in the
State's long-term recovery because many homes and businesses will now be better
able to withstand hurricane force winds. Thus, lowering long-term recovery costs if
another hurricane hits.
Since this project is identified in St. Lucie County's Local Mitigation
Strategy it is submitted under category 6. This project is included in the LMS
because it will reduce the loss of life and property due to natural disasters and can
be implemented during our immediate recovery process.
However, it furthers categories 1,3, and 4. It will surely promote public
education as described in category 1. Although the hurricane house was receiving
3000 visitors a year before the September hurricanes, we expect the visitation
levels will increase dramatically. This project builds upon the information at the
hurricane house because it provides lower cost wind resistant techniques. And all
of the up to latest building code information will be available on the five take-
home fact sheets.
5
'-'
...,.¡
This project also furthers application category 3 because it promotes market-
based, non-regulatory approaches to mitigation. The Contractor Certification
workshops will bring this information directly to Florida contractors. The classes
will be promoted through state web sites, so people outside the Treasure Coast will
have the opportunity to attend. Finally, it also furthers category 4 because it
focuses on the installation hurricane panels on fifteen Habitat for Humanity homes
and homes of State Housing Initiative Program clients. By having them installed
throughout the neighborhoods of St. Lucie County, the neighbors will be educated
as well of the value of preparing for future high wind events.
2. Long and short-term tangible benefits of the project.
The short-term tangible benefit of the project is the timing of it. The project
will be brought to the public when they are actively repairing their homes and
businesses. Although some people may have avoided damage in this set of
hurricanes, we will still encourage their participation in the program because the
next hurricane could be even greater than a Category 3. The long-term benefits ties
directly into the regions long-term recovery plans by mitigating future damage. If
people strengthen their homes and businesses, they have a better chance of
avoiding damage from a future hurricane or tornado event.
Compared to the cost people are paying to replace the interior and exterior of
their homes, this project will encourage everyone to proactively retrofit their
homes for windstorm damage resistance. In the long run, it is less expensive to
prepare now than to pay for repair of future water damage. Since many people are
experiencing the discomforts of living in a travel trailer for months while they wait
for a contractor to repair their homes, they should be highly receptive to
incorporating windstorm resistance construction techniques during their home
reconstruction process. Residents are being encouraged to apply for Small
Business Administration loans to assist in the purchase of storm protective
measures. Thus, they will be looking for the best mitigation measure for their
limited funds and this program can provide them many options.
Since this project will directly help very low-income residents strengthen
their homes it will save on future insurance or FEMA claims. Since these residents
are on fixed incomes and were also set back even more to the costs associated with
the recent hurricanes, the grant funds will be wisely used to strengthen the homes
of families who could not do it on their own. Thus, the seed money from the grant
will greatly benefit low-income residents and other residents for at least twenty
years.

Group II. Collateral Information for the Project
3. Clearly describe project's consistency with FS 215.559 and State CEMP.
This project is consistent with FS 215.559(2)(a) because it provides an-ongoing
demonstration project at the Hurricane House and at homes throughout the
community. Direct assistance will be provided by the workshop leaders and by the
temporary staff person that will be hired. Direct assistance will include: assessment
of the homes, recommendation of a strengthening plan, and installation of
hurricane panels, clips or other mitigation strategy determined in the home audit.
This multi-faceted model project will be easily duplicated in other areas of
the United States. The five fact sheets will be accessible from the Hurricane House
web site and as well as the home-audit checklist. Energy and wind-mitigation
experts from the University of Florida's Energy Extension Service will ensure that
the educational information is accurate and up to date with current State building
regulations. This will make the practical information applicable throughout the
state of Florida.
In addition, this project furthers the intent of paragraph 2(a) because it is a
cooperative program between many agencies. It also prevents and reduces future
hurricane damage and thus reduces the cost of rebuilding more homes and
businesses. Since many people are painfully living in cramp conditions, they will
be more likely to take that extra step to do anything to reduce the cost and trouble
of rebuilding their home again after another hurricane event. Thus, this program
will provide the tools to homeowners, contractors and businesses so they can
withstand future hurricane strength winds.
This project also furthers the State Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan 2004 area on Public Information. The products produced with grant funds will
assist in educating the public on how to prepare for hurricane events and can be
distributed to news media statewide.
4. Describe why this particular method was chosen.
This method was chosen because it supplements the current information available
at the Hurricane House. It provides five easily produced fact sheets that explain
lower cost methods to strengthen their homes and businesses. The method to
incorporate the expertise of University of Florida Energy and Building professors
was a simple decision. Since they have been instrumental in the educational
materials and construction of the Hurricane House, they were aware of what is
7
'-'
....,
already covered. Being in the scientific community, they are always testing to see
what products work best so they are the most qualified to assist in the development
of the education fact sheets and workshop information. Working with Habitat for
Humanity and SHIP clients homes was chosen because we all have a vested
interest in helping our community protect themselves. We know these are hard
working individuals that could benefit from storm protective measures. Thus, this
educational and action oriented project was a perfect fit with all the organization
involved and is essential for our area's long-term recovery.

COIll. Coward addrcssed his conecllls with the upcoming land use issucs due to the 1~lct
1ll:1I1Y residents :Ire concclllcd with the holiday season :lI1d cannot bc present. lIe
suggested these issllcs be disclIssed aner the holidays sincc it is It)r transnliltal purposcs,
The Planning Manager stated the next transmittal will not be until an ^priltime !¡"amc,
The County is permitted 2 transmittals per year and he did not wish to utilize one for
6
~
......,
these issues. He would like to reserve the two upcoming transmittals for other issues in
the upcoming year.
Com. Craft stated he would like to see a plan before he votes to approve or deny a land
use change.
Com. Smith stated he was not sure i lïw was comfortable putting someone through the
extra effort before they know exactly what they are dealing with. They are dealing with a
lot of land use changes site unseen.
Com. Coward suggested asking for a more detailed PUD to go along with the land use
amendment and if they like what they see they can approve them concurrently. He would
like to have a comfort level before transmittal.
Com. Hutchinson requested it be noted which hearings will be continued.
Com. Coward stated 5C, 50 and SF would be the continued items. He does not feel
ohligated to rush a project through they have not reviewed,
The County Attorney suggested they he continucd until the first cycle or next year
(Fehruary) with a targd or April for transmittal.
It was moved by Com, Coward to continue items 5C and 50 to a date to coincide with
the first transmittal date and that they have the PUD submitted as part of the review
process to give the Board further infom1ation about the specific development proposal for
each site; seconded by Com. Craft;
Com, Lewis stated it was premature to ask for a plan before approving the land use
change.

motions in order to have public comments.
Mr. Joe Miller, applicant, addressed the Board on his request and stated they were
requiring placing the cart before the horse when requiring a PUD before the land use
change. He appreciated Com, Lewis' commcnts.
Com. Smith questioned ¡I' they had a plan,
Mr. Miller stated they have:1 very preliminary plan. I-lis intention is not to place 5 units
lor the acre, they arc asking lor live because there is not a zoning of 3.5 units to the acre.
Com. Coward stated he was not requesting a developer to provide a full blown finalized
plan until they receive some type of a blessing, he is looking for a preliminary PUD to
come in with the land use change.
Com. Craft stated before he would send anything to the State, he wanted to make sure it
had his stamp of approval.
Mr. AI Brodeur, Thomas Lucido & Associates stated they are on the same page and are
only asking to transmit not approve, Lower density does not mean a hetter quality of Ii/c.
Mr. Brodeur asked the Bo¡mltransmit this application to the State for their review and
comments.
Mr. David Chaskowic/" Englewood Development Company, Philadelphia, Pa., addressed
the Board and stated he few /ì'om Philadelphia for this hearing tonight and is disappointed
with the motion which is before the Board at this time. The idea is not to approve a land
development plan, but, to look at the future land use and see if it is a good idea, By
placing an open ended delay on this project, we may never know what is the best use of
the land is.

Com. Coward stated he had a problem with moving forward without sufficient
information.
Mr. Chaskowicz stated that maybe while they are waiting far the transmittal date. they
can work with the ßoard and staff~ take a look and see what they can come up with and
possibly in the four months they can come back show the Board what they have come up
with and get their direction.
Ms. Susie Caron, Indrio Road, stated that by doing the transmittal it may encourage
"flip/flopping " the property.
Com. Coward addressed Ms, Caron's comments,
Ms. Joy Moore, adjacent property owner, asked what would happen to her if this was
approved.
Mr. .lay Maycumber, Indrio Road resident, addressed the Board in opposition to the land
use change.
Mr. Herbert Beach, White City resident, addressed the Board and stated he was not sure
how these petitions came up lar transmittal before review.
Mr. Greg Boggs, Thomas Lucido & Associates, addressed the Board and stated they may
need to change the Land Development Code, the Comprehensive Plan land use
application so that forever more everyone will know, that upon a land use amendment
and a transmittal hearing they will know how to play the game. Changing the rules at this
point is unfair.
Com. Coward suggested clarifying the guidelines and asked them to assist in this process.
Mr. George Stonebreaker, area resident, addressed the Board, and stated he felt the
consulting firm was not cn.:diblc. I Ie l'elt there is a problem with this and they need to
come up with a plan.
Mr. Hi II Hammer. resident 01" the Reserve, addressed the Hoard and stated ckarly
something is not working. Ill: 1'eltthedynamicsol"thecon1l11llnity is being kn oul ol"tlw
equation.
Mr. Brodeur, Thomas Lucido & Associates asked the process be made a lot more clear
far those concerned.
('om, Ilutchinson stated i I" they an; going to be making policy changes they need to give
clear direction to stafT so they can relay the proper information to the public. She is
uncomfortable doing so mid stream, but if it is an issue which needs to be addressed, she
would be happy to entertain it at the next meeting or tonight.
Com. Lewis stated it was becoming more difficult to match code to policies or policies to
codes, she is not sure which. She felt they may need to make some changes to the code
for example there presently does not exist anything between RS and RU. The Board
may need to look at further zoning categories. The codes and policies do not match and

Com. Coward concurred with Com. Lewis in establishing a zoning between RS and RU.
It was moved by Com. Coward, seconded by Com. Lewis, to defer a consideration of this
particular application, 5C until the April transmittal hearing due to the need of additional
info1111ation; and, upon roll call, motion caITied unanimously.

229.55 acre tract from RS to RU to be submitted to the Department of Community
Affairs for review under Chapter 163 Fla. Statutes
Mr. Bob Raines, attorney for the petitioner Paparone Homes, advised the Board that they
have filed a PUD application and also has a conceptual site plan with them for review.
Com. Coward stated if they wished to go through their case and the majority of the Board
wished to consider transmittal, he is prepared to go ahead with it, however, the roadway
deficiencies noted earlier are from the application and he considers these major hurdles
which he is prepared to get into more discussion. He would prefer they all be placed for
the April transmittal and have an opportunity to review the site plan. The public has not
sccn the site plan and they too should have the opportunity to review it.
Mr. Raines stated he believed with the detail they would be getting into tonight with the
PUD he is not sure this is appropriate for a land use. The question which gets transmitted
to the DCA is, " is this an appropriate request for a land use limit".

The site presently has 24.5% of the uplands in preservation. 15% is required in a PUD
and will be maintaining 17.5% of the wetlands. They will be providing a dedicated right
of way and Mr. Boggs is confident that it is a good project and this is going through staff
as a preliminary ll J(),
Com. Smith questioned the impact this project may have to the surrounding residents,
The Planning Manager stated there is very Jittleimpact to the residents ofTimberJake
Estates. At one time the residents of the development complained of the visual impact of
the mining in the area. however there would be very little impact of this project. This
project places additional traJTic on Kings Highway but across the highway there is very
little impact.
Com. Coward stated the roadway deficiencies in this project is what stands out in the
project and questioned the capacity of Kings Highway and how improvements wi 11 be
funded.
Mr. Raines stated they would provide some dedicated right of way and there were
different ways to solve this problem. They are willing to work with staff up until the day
of adoption. He hoped they had provided enough information to provide a level of
comfort for transmittal.
Mr. Jay Maycumher, Indrio Road stated this more of the same. It is another Emerson
I ~stales. No OIlC has I islellcd to the rcsidents Ii'om North ( ·Olll1ty.
Mr. Bill Hammer, Reserve resident, questioned the capacity of Kings Highway today.
Ms. Diana Waite, Growth Management advised Mr. Hammer the capacity for Kings
Highway is 15,600 trips. It is operating at service level B today.
Mr. Hammer stated it was important that the current residents do not pay for incoming
development, i.e. schools, fire response, etc. concurrency is most important.
Com. Craft stated he was not convinced of the added value to this county the project
would provide and motioned this item be tabled until the April transmittal date, seconded
by Com. Coward, and; upon roll call, motion carried unanimollsly.

Authorize the acceptance of an Emergency Watershed Protection Program grant
from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service for funding in an amount
not to exceed $3,375,000 for the benefit of landowners along Indian River Drive and
to be used for the provision and installation of native vegetation to establish cover,
slow run-off, prevent erosion and protect the river bank.
This grant from the Emergency Watershed Protection Program of the USDA
Natural Resources Conservation Service provides funding to protect destabilized
stream banks and establish cover on critically eroding lands, with the goal of
slowing runoff and preventing soil erosion to relieve imminent life and property
hazards created by recent hurricanes. Projects to receive funding under this
program must benefit more than one property owner and must be sponsored by a
political subdivision of the State, such as a county government. As sponsors of
this Emergency Watershed Protection project, St. Lucie County's responsibility
would include securing land rights and any permits necessary to construct these
emergency measures as well as construction oversight of the project itself. St.
Lucie County intends to use funding from this grant to coordinate, acquire and
install native plants and trees to protect the newly-replenished Indian River
Lagoon banks that had been seriously damaged along a 14-mile stretch of Indian
River Drive. The need for this project has been clearly identified on the Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program (HGMP) list and documented by engineering staff.
The grant requires a 25% match ($1,125,000) in either cash or in-kind services. To
date, a cash grant of $60,000 has been received from the Indian River Estuary
Program, and a cash grant of $400,000 is anticipated from the Florida Inland
Navigation District (FIND). Additional funding sources continue to be being sought.
An 8% in-kind service match of $360,000 will be provided by St. Lucie County
through construction management and engineering efforts. In addition, funding has
been requested from the Florida State Legislature.
No previous action.
Staff recommends the Board authorize the acceptance of this Emergency
Watershed Protection Program grant.

Emergency Watershed Protection Program Grant - Background Information
Project - Grant Application for Native Vegetation for Indian River Bank Restoration
St. Lucie County is requesting federal assistance, under the provisions of Section 403 of the
Agricultural Credit Act of 1978, to sponsor and assist landowners along Indian River Drive in repairing
river bank damages caused by Hurricane Jeanne on September 24, 2004.
The assistance requested is necessary to protect lives and property by restoring vegetation and habitat
destroyed by severe erosion initiated by Hurricane Frances, exacerbated by the rains of Hurricane Ivan
and dealt a fatal blow by Hurricane Jeanne. This destructive erosion occurred along, and threatens,
approximately 14 miles of highway and property owners bordering the Indian River Lagoon, recognized
as North America's most biologically diverse estuarine ecosystem.
Due to an appreciation of the tenuous situation that the County faces relative to preserving this vital
highway; restoring and protecting access to the private property bordering the highway; and the
significance of the bank's restoration to the health of the Lagoon, the Florida Department of
Transportation, through the Federal Highway Administration, has authorized $30 million to replenish
the riverbank along this 14-mile stretch. This Phase 1 of the project will include restoration of the bank,
including armoring the lower section with cabled articulated block and replenishing the banks with soil.
However, these funds are not available to help re-vegetate the private or public lands between the
highway and the Lagoon and to restore the native habitat so vital to the health of the Lagoon.
This grant has the potential to be used on public and private lands. However, projects to receive
funding under this program must benefit more than one property owner and must be sponsored by a
political subdivision of the State, such as a county government. As sponsors of this Emergency
Watershed Protection project, S1. Lucie County's responsibility would include securing land rights and
any permits necessary to construct these emergency measures as well as construction oversight of the
project itself. S1. Lucie County intends to use funding from this grant to coordinate, acquire and install
native plants and trees to protect the newly-replenished Indian River Lagoon banks that had been
seriously damaged along a 14-mile stretch of Indian River Drive. The need for this project has been
clearly identified on the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HGMP) list and documented by engineering
staff.
As described, the project total is not to exceed $4,500,000, including a 25% match, as follows:
Total grant request = $3,375,000
Total S1. Lucie County In-kind Service matching funds = $ 360,000
Rec'd cash grant for landscape architect from Indian River Estuary Program = $ 60,000
Anticipated cash match grant from Florida Inland Navigation District = $ 400,000
Additional funding to be determined = $ 350,000
Total $4,500,000
(Total Local Match/Total Project Cost) x 100 = Percentage match = 26 %

SUBJECT:
Resolution No. 05-003 - Urging the Army Corps of Engineers to fund the
Biological Preservation component and not defer the Natural Storage and Muck
Removal component of the Indian River Lagoon Plan but include it in the first
phase; and further request the South Florida Water Management District concur
with this Board's findings and also urge the Army Corps of Engineers to fund
the Biological Preservation Component and not defer the Natural Storage and
Muck Removal Component of the Indian River Lagoon Plan but include it in the
first phase.
BACKGROUND:
The Indian River Lagoon is the most biodiverse estuarine system in all
of North America. The Army Corps of Engineers has proposed a change to the
Master Implementation Sequencing Plan for the Indian River Lagoon proj ect
that delays the acquisition of 90,000 acres of land and muck removal to 2020,
which essentially defeats the plan because it will be very difficult to
acquire that much land in the future, given the escalating costs of real
estate in Florida.
Vice-Chairman Doug Coward has requested that this Board adopt the
attached Resolution No. 05-003 as drafted.

Lucie Estuary (SLE) and the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) by reducing
the damaging effects of watershed runoff, reducing high peak
freshwater discharges to control salinity levels, and reducing
nutrient loads, pesticides and other pollutants.
3. The project will also provide water supply for agriculture
to offset reliance on the Floridian Aquifer.
4. The Army Corps of Engineers has proposed a change to the
Master Implementation Sequencing Plan for the Indian River Lagoon
Project that delays the acquisition of 90,000 acres of land and
...

TO: ST. LUCIE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
SUBMITTED BY: OMB
PRESENTED BY: Marie M. Gouin
SUBJECT: Permission to Advertise Public Hearing

the Board for the purpose of clearing accounts with insufficient funds in fiscal year 2004. This Budget
Amendment will recognize revenue that exceeded the budget amount and establish budgets for interfund
transfers.
Florida Statute 129.06 (f) requires the Board to hold a Public Hearing before amending the adopted budget in
this manner.
FUNDS AVAILABLE: 001-1110-549000-100 (General Fund, BOCC General Government, Advertising)

SUBMITTED BY: ADMINISTRATION/MEDIA
PRESENTED BY: SHANE DEWITT
SUBJECT: Revision to Fleet Replacement Program
BACKGROUND: For FY05, the BOCC approved an E350 Cargo Van for SLCTV/Media on the Fleet
Replacement Plan in the amount of $20,000. SLCTV /Media is requesting to revise the Plan to purchase a
Ford Expedition-SUV in place of the Cargo Van. This vehicle change is needed to carry equipment for field
productions and/or passengers for travel. The SUV will be more maneuverable than a large van and more
economical. This item was previously brought to the Board on October 12,2004, but pulled due to Board
direction to get quotes on a fully equipped "live" broadcast van.
FUNDS AVAILABLE: 316-1930-564000-100 County Capital
PREVIOUS ACTION: Fleet Replacement Plan approved during the FY05 Budget hearings.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends NOT pursuing the purchase of a "live" broadcast van due to the
overwhelming cost ($250,000) of such item at this time. Staff recommends that the Board of County
Commissioners approve the revision of the Fleet Replacement Plan to change the Cargo Van for Media
Relations to a Ford Expedition-SUV at a cost of $21,720.00 to be purchased thru the Florida Sheriffs
Association.
