INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
TO:
Board of County Commissioners
FROM:
Daniel S. Mcintyre, County Attorney
C.A. NO.
99-118
DATE:
February 2, 1999
SUBJECT:
St. Lucie County Sports Complex - Scoreboard Agreement
BACKGROUND:
In June, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to prepare
an RFP for replacement of the Thomas J. White Stadium scoreboard. The RFP
described the overall dimensions and essential capabilities of the new scoreboard
and solicited a publicI private partnership that would share the cost of constructing
the new scoreboard in exchange for advertising rights.
On October 28, 1998, the RFPs were opened. Staff recommended that all
proposals submitted under Bid (RFP) No. 98-87 be rejected due to insufficient funds.
Staff also proposed that the County enter into an agreement with the New York Mets
National League Baseball Team. The terms of the agreement would outline an offer
made by the New York Mets to purchase and install the new scoreboard as well as
pay for landscaping enhancements that would include specimen tree and plant
material. The agreement would specify that the County reimburse the Mets
organization for the scoreboard and landscape improvements in an amount not to
exceed $300,000. The Mets would be repaid $75,000 per year for 4 years, utilizing
the County's 50% share of advertising revenues as outlined in the second
addendum to the existing Facilities Use Agreement. Total scoreboard advertising
revenues are estimated to be $130,000 annually. The repayment schedule would
occur over the remaining life of the existing contract (expiring 2002) between the
County and the New York Mets regarding the lease of the St. Lucie County Sports
Complex. Under the terms of the initial staff proposal, the Mets indicated that they
would contract directly with the scoreboard installation company. On December 8,
1998, the Board accepted staff recommendation, rejected all of the proposals, and
directed staff to negotiate a contract with the Mets as outlined above.
'-'
"-'
~ Since that time, the Mets have been attempting to negotiate a contract with
the low proposer, Animated Display Systems, Inc., but have been unable to complete
negotiation because of concerns pertaining to sales tax issues and issues relating
to required covenants concerning encroachments that the Mets are unable to agree
to because the Mets do not own the Sports Complex. As a result, late last week, the
Mets requested that the County enter into a contract with Animated Display
Systems, Inc. The financial proposal that the Board conceptually approved on
December 8 would remain the same, i. e. the Mets will pay for the scoreboard and
will be repaid utilizing the County's 50% share of advertising revenues.
Because opening day is March 6, 1999, it is not possible to rebid the
scoreboard installation. To ensure that the scoreboard is installed by the end of
March, 1999, it will be necessary for the Board to declare an emergency, waive the
bid/proposal process and award a contract to Animated Display Systems, Inc. As
indicated previously, ADS was the low proposer responding to the County's earlier
RFP.
Attached to this memorandum is a copy of a proposed contract between the
County and ADS. The proposed price to install the new scoreboard and remove the
old scoreboard is two hundred ninety-seven thousand two hundred sixty-three and
0/100 ($297,263.00) dollars. The contract follows the County's standard form.
RECOMMENDA TION/CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Board declare an emergency for the reasons stated
above, waive the bid/proposal process and approve the contract with ADS subject
to finalizing an agreement with the New York Mets National League Baseball Team
wherein the Team will advance the funds needed to complete installation of the new
scoreboard and be repaid from the County's share of advertising revenues.

regional headquarters telecommunications facility in St. Lucie County, Florida:
1. Providing QVC with an amount not to exceed five hundred thousand and
0/100 ($500,000.00) dollars in Job Growth Investment (JGI) funds payable over a two (2)
year period. The two (2) year period will begin on October 1, 1999 or the date QVC first hires
employees, whichever first occurs (the "Effective Date"). This funding commitment is
contingent upon QVC complying with JGI program requirements, including QVC providing
a minimum of two hundred fifty (250) full-time equivalent jobs, in accordance with the tenns
of the grant agreement. Full-time equivalent hours shall be established by total payroll
hours divided by 35. The County's funding commitment is based on the County paying two

maximum annual funding commitment is two hundred fifty thousand and 00/100
($250,000.00). Bonus criteria, including bonuses for hiring St. Lucie County residents, will
apply as set out in the grant agreement. Based on QVC's experience in other areas, it is
QVC's expectation that more than fifty (50010) percent of the non-management employees and
more than seventy (70%) percent of the management employees will reside in St. Lucie
County. In the event QVC creates more than one hundred twenty-five (125) jobs in the first
year, those additional jobs may be applied toward QVC's job commitment in the second year.
In the event QVC creates more than one hundred twenty-five (125) jobs in the second year,
those additional jobs may be applied toward QVC's job commitment in the first year where
QVC did not receive the remaining annual funding. Jobs created in excess of the
requirements of this paragraph may be applied toward QVC's job commitment in the third
through seventh years.
2. Providing QVC with an additional amount not to exceed five hundred thousand
and 0/100 ($500,000.00) dollars in JGI funds payable over a five (5) year period begillIÙng

six and 66/100 ($666.66) dollars per job. The County's funding commitment shall not
exceed the maximum annual funding commitment of one hundred thousand and 0/100
($100,000.00) dollars, In the event QVC creates more than one hundred fifty (150) jobs per
year, the additional jobs may be applied toward QVC job commitments in subsequent years

Ordinance 99-001
MEMORANDUM
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
TO:
Board of County Commissioners
FROM:
Ray Wazny, Community Development Director
DATE:
January 28, 1999
SUBJECT:
Consider Draft Ordinance 99-001 providing for a series of General Amendments
to the St. Lucie County Land Development Code.
Attached, is a copy of Draft Ordinance 99-001 which proposes a series of amendments to the County's Land
Development Code. On January 5,1999, this Board opened the first of the two required public hearings on
these proposed amendments. At that hearing, the Board continued discussion on the first reading of Draft
Ordinance 99-001 until January 19, 1999. On January 19, 1999, this Board reopened the first of the two
required public hearings on these proposed amendments, and accepted additional public comments and
testimony. The public hearing scheduled for February 2, 1999, is the second and final required public
hearing on these proposed amendments.
The amendments included in Draft Ordinance 99-001 are:
Section 2.00.00
Definitions:
· Draft Ordinance 99-001 proposes to amend the definition of Hotel/ Motel clarifying the length of
stay typically associated with these facilities.
· This section proposes to amend the definition of Open Space to address the use of private property
in the determination of open space and to add a new definition for areas considered to be Common
Open Space.
· This section proposed to create new definition for Temporary Buildings or Structure and Transient
Lodging Facilities.
Section 3.01.03(£)
Zoning Districts:
. This section amends the Accessory Use provisions of the AR -1 Zoning District to clarify the use of
mobile homes, subject to meeting the standards set forth in Section 7.01.05 of this Code. As noted
in our previous comments to the Board, Section 7.01.05 of the County's Land Development Code
already specifically allows the placing of a mobile home as an Accessory Use to a bona fide
,/

agricultural operation in certain zoning districts, including the AR-1 Zoning District. This proposed
amendment is solely for the purpose of correcting a topographic oversight in not including the
required reference under the Accessory Use provisions of Section 3.0 1.03(E) of the St. Lucie County
Land Development Code.
Section 4.01.05
Hutchinson Island - Building Height Overlay Zone
· This amendment provides for clarification of existing vested development rights and for the ability
to locate Telecommunication Towers on Hutchinson Island, subject to meeting the requirements of
Section 7.10.23.
At the Boards meeting of January 5, 1998, there were questions asked about the advisability of
pennitting Telecommunications Towers on the coastal barrier island. In reviewing this matter, it
appears that the County does not have the ability under Federal regulation to specifically exclude
the barrier island from being a location where telecommunications towers may be located. Our
codes pennit these kind of facilities as a Conditional Use in all of our zoning districts, with the
exception ofthe IL, œ, U and Ag Zoning Districts. There must be some mechanism that allows for
these facilities to at least be considered for location on the island.
Section 4.01.00 of the county's land development code establishes maximum building heights for
all structures on Hutchinson Island. The two height zones allow development to be either 35 feet
or 125 feet high, depending on location and compliance with all other county codes. ' The submitted
amendment to Section 4.0 1.05(x) is for the purpose of recognizing that these towers may be greater
in height than 125 feet.
Noting the comments made on January 5th, staff would recommend that this Section be amended to
eliminate the current internal inconsistency, that does not allow for towers, antenna or antenna
arrays in excess of the restrictions of Section 4.0 1.03. However, staff does recommended that given
the distribution of the "A" Zones (125 foot high zones) on Hutchinson Island, it is within the realm
of logical consideration that should a telecommunications provide wish to locate, or co-locate a
tower, antenna or antenna array in the "A" Zones, adequate coverage for all of the islands can be
maintained. It is therefore not necessary to extend this exemption from the building height
restrictions to the "B" Zone properties.
Additionally, there was a concern raised by the Conservation Alliance ofSt. Lucie County, Inc., at
the Boards meeting of January 5, 1999, regarding the County's interpretation of Section 11.09.00
of the Land Development Code as it relates to the proposed amendment to Section 4.0 1.05(A). The
Conservation Alliance has made a suggestion that additional language be added to this amendment
ting this detennination back to the County's vested rights regulations in Section 11.09.00 of the
Land Development Code. When read in its entirety, the regulations set out in Section 11.09.00 of
the Land Development Code do not conflict with the statements or intent of the proposed
amendments. Staff has no objection to the proposed amendment, as submitted.
Section 6.06.00
Mining
Í--
~
..".¡
January 28, 1998
- Page 3
Subject: Draft Ordinance 99-001
Section 6.06.0HB)(11) Restrictions, Regulations, and Conditions on Mining Permit
· The amendments to this Section clarify those areas of the county in which Mining activities are to
be prohibited.
Section 6.06.02(C)
Extraction Incidental to Development Activities
· This proposed amendment provides for an exemption for the construction of stormwater retention
facilities associated with the construction of roadway projects.
Section 7.01.00
Planned Unit Development
Section 7.01.02
Authorized Uses
· This section provides for a clarification of the authorized uses in a Planned Unit Development. As
noted at the January 5, 1999 meeting of the County commission, currently when an application for
Planned Unit Development is submitted for review, all of the uses the mentioned in the referenced
zoning districts are considered to be potentially eligible uses in that PUD, subject to County
Commission approval as part ofthe Preliminary Planned Unit Development Review Process. Ifa
use that is proposed is determined by the Board, through the public hearing process, to be
inappropriate or incompatible with the proposed PUD and/or the surrounding area, then the Board
has the ability to deny or modify the proposed PUD to eliminate or restrict the determined
objectionable use.
Section 7.01.03(a)
Standards and Requirements
· This amendment provides for change in the minimum size of a Planned Unit Development from 10
acres to five (5) acres. This change is necessary if, consistent with the general direction of the
County Commission, the County is to encourage the use of the PUD zoning district for small scale
development sites. The only other alternative is for a property owner is to seek a variance from
these standards under the provisions of Section 10.00.00 of the Land Development Code.
Section 7.01.03(e)(5) Standards and Requirements
· This amendment provides for a clarification on the ability to use variable standards in road right-of-
way widths in a Planned Unit Development. It has been the practice of the County to permit such
variations, under broad interpretations of the provisions of the PUD regulations. However this
amendment serves to further clarify the authority for granting such considerations. All construction
must still be to County Code and it shall remain the responsibility of any applicant for PUD
approval seeking to take advantage of this section to demonstrate compliance with the intent of the
County's minimum ROW width standards.
At the January 5, 1999, public hearing, The Conservation Alliance of St. Lucie County, Inc.,
presented an objection to this proposed amendment, and the subsequent amendment to the PNRD
and PMUD section referencing the sem matter. Their objection reads as follows:
'-"
..,
January 28, 1998
Page 4
Subject: Draft Ordinance 99-001
3. The amendment to Section E.5 on page 10 aI/ows variations to the standard minimum right-ol-way
widths in PUDS. This effectively exempts these developments from the state-mandated provisions of
the comprehensive plan, which requires the county to "...develop and implement a COUNTY WIDE
right of way protection regulation and Rightof Way Dedication Ordinance," (policy 1.1.8.3) The
minimum right-of way established in the Traffic Circulation Element of the Comprehensive Plan is
50 it, (jor Local Roads with closed drainage-curb and gutter, See Table 7.15, attachment B). This
provision would aI/ow higher intensity developments with substandard streets and utilities, resulting
in traffic congestion, insufficient room for sidewalks and bicycle paths, and inadequate drainage.
(This is also applicable to corresponding amendments for PNRD and PMUD on p. 13 and 16)"
[Letter from the Conservation Alliance ofSt. Lucie County, Inc., dated January 5, 1999, to the St.
Lucie County Commission, signed by K. Brian Killday, Vice President.]
The assessments of this proposed amendment made by the Conservation Alliance on this item are
not correct. The specific proposed amendment to Section 7.01.03(E)(5) reads as follows:
· Streets in a Planned Unit Development may be dedicated to public use or retained under
private ownership. Said streets and associated improvements shall comply with all pertinent
County regulations and ordinances. however. variations to the standard minimum right-of-
way widths may be considered as part of the Planned Unit Development if it is shown to the
satisfaction of the Board of County Commissioners. thatthe requested variation is consistent
with the intent of the County? s roadway construction standards and necessary for the design
of the Planned Unit Development.
The conservation alliance's concerns about this amendment allowing for" higher intensity
developments with substandard streets and utilities, resulting in traffic congestion, insufficient room
for sidewalks and bicycle paths, and inadequate drainage" fails to consider that the second part of
the proposed amendment requires that any County approval of a variable street design include a
verification that the submitted design is consistent with the intent of the Countys basic roadway
design standards and that the function of the proposed roadway be maintained. For example, if the
road is to serve the functions of an arterial roadway, the roadway must be capable of carrying high
volumes of traffic and the location of utilities must be in manner so not to imped traffic if repairs
need to made to the utility.
The conservation alliance comments include a reference to Policy 1.1.8.3 of the County's
Comprehensive Plan. This Policy reads as follows;
Policy 1.1.8.3
In conjunction with the Objectives and Policies of the Traffic Circulation
Element, St. Lucie County shall develop and implement by August 1990
a county-wide right-of-way protection regulation and Right-of-Way
Dedication Ordinance.
Section 7.05.00 of the County's Land Development Code addresses Transportation matters related
to roadway construction in the County. This Section addresses the specific standards and
requirements that must be meet in regard to new street construction, particularly as it effects major
street construction. The proposed amendments to the County's Planned Development regulations
are not intended to circumvent the County Right-of-way Protection Maps or dedication requirements
for roadways on the County's Thoroughfare Protection Plan.

TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: HARVEY LINCOLN, MANAGEMENT & BUDGET MANAGER ~
SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF FUNDS TO CLERK OF COURT FOR
AUTOMATED SERVICES PROJECT.
DATE: JANUARY 25, 1999
The Board approved a $183,000 allocation for a Clerk of Courts Y2K project in the Automated
Services Fund in the initial FY 99 budget process.
It has been determined that it would be desirable for the Clerk to contract directly with the
service provider for this project. The actual cost of the proposed project is currently estimated
at $467,000, which is the amount of the contract between the Clerk and Graphic Computer
Solutions, Inc., for undertaking the project.
The clerk on 1-26-99 was authorized to apply for a state grant in the amount of$412,810 to be
applied to the cost of this project, which means that the Clerk will have to provide $54,190
from another source.
This agenda item authorizes the disbursement to the clerk of courts of $183,000 from the
Automated Services Fund, to be combined with grant funds the Clerk anticipated from the
state, to pay for the contract with Graphic Computer solutions, Inc.
This disbursement will be made with the understanding that $54,190 will be applied to the
contract with Graphic Computer Solutions, Inc., and that any balance of the $183,000 not
required for the completion of the project will be returned to the Automated Services Fund.
When the FPL settlement was reached, the Board approved an additional $150,000 for this
project, which was budgeted in the general Fund. In view of the receipt of the state grant, it
appears that these funds will not be needed for this project. They therefore will be held in
reserves for allocation to other Y2K projects as required, or for such other purposes as the
Board may determine.

contract (the "Contract") whereby the Contractor agreed to sell and
the County agreed to buy coquina rock (the "Rock") on an "as
needed" basis for use by the St. Lucie County Road and Bridge
Division for a term of one year with an option to extend the term
of the Contract for two additional terms of one year each¡ and

St. Lucie County

Date:
Subject:
Daniel McIntyre, County Attome~¡"n
Paul A. Phillips, Airport Director ~~
January 20, 1999
Phoenix Metal Products Landlord's Waiver
To:
From:
As you know, Phoenix Metal Products leases a building in the Airport Industrial Park. They have
experienced phenomenal growth since relocating to St. Lucie County. As a result of their growth,
Phoenix Metal Products is in the proceSs of obtaining a loan from the Small Business Administration
(SBA). As part of the loan requirements, Phoenix must have a Landlord's Waiver for the personal
property from the Board of County Commissioners. As this expansion would allow Phoenix Metal
Products to continue to expand and create jobs in St. Lucie County, I would recommend that the
Landlord's Waiver be granted.
Please review and approve the attached Landlord's Waiver and process the Waiver for the
Chairman's signature.
If you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
