He stated he was in support of mixing the active and passive use of the property and concurs with the creative cost share with the Florida Communities Trust, recreation impact fee and the Land Acquisition Fund.

Com. Hutchinson stated the unique part of this property is that both recreational and environmental are being mixed for use. However, she would be opened to any suggestions if there is another area which could be made into some type of a park in the White City area. Com.

Lewis stated she would be in favor of moving ahead. Com. Coward requested staff contact the Florida Communities Trust program to find out if it would permit the county to do what is being proposed. He stated it may be premature to ask TPL for an option on this property, however, he recommended moving forward with the FCT application process and once the question is answered, and if it is favorable, he would be in support of having TPL put an option on the property.

LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the following determinations: 1. Prayer to the Almighty God is regarded by millions as the most important utterance of mankind for its benefit. 2. Our nation was founded by single-minded men and women seeking wisdom and guidance through prayer to the God who has ears to hear; and prayer has aided us in all times where support and guidance were needed. 3. This Board believes that it is fitting that we should give thanks for the freedom and prosperity which our nation and state enjoys and to pray for the continued guidance and comfort which God has graciously bestowed upon this nation since its inception. 4. The National Day of Prayer is a time set aside for Americans to pray to their heavenly Father and to reaffirm the spiritual principles upon which our nation was founded. 5. The state of Florida and the United States of America can and will benefit from prayer by its faithful and prayerful residents. 6. This year's theme, Light the Nation... with Prayer, was chosen to emphasize the importance of praying for our country to return to God, and in the Holy Word of God we are given these words: "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15 (NIV). 7. Across the United States on May 6, Americans will unite at specific times in prayer for our nation and state to acknowledge our dependence upon God, to give thanks for the many blessings our country has received from Him, to recognize our need for personal and corporate renewal of moral values and to invoke God's blessings upon our leaders. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida: 1. This Board does hereby proclaim May 6, 1999, as "DAY OF PRAYER" in St. Lucie County, Florida. 2. This Board urges the citizens of St. Lucie County to pray with diligence and obedience and seek the face of Almighty God to direct our paths in the days and years ahead.

The subject property is located at 582 Oleander Court, adjacent to the St. Lucie River. The above cited section of the Land Development Code establishes setbacks from the shoreline of the St. Lucie River in which development activities are either prohibited or restricted. The provisions of Section 6.02.02(B)(2)(a) specify that no development activity that would alter the native vegetation of the shoreline of tributaries of the St. Lucie River shall be permitted within 50 feet of the mean high water line for lots of record platted before August 1, 1989. The applicant is requesting a Variance from Section 6.02.02(B)(2)(a) in order to permit the construction of a swimming pool at 582 Oleander Court. The swimming pool is proposed to be located 32 feet from the mean high water line (MHWL) and, therefore, have a deficit of 18 feet of the required setback from the mean high water line. A variance request of 10 feet or more of this 50 foot setback requires a review and determination by the Board of County Commissioners. STANDARDS OF REVIEW In reviewing this request for a variance from the requirements of Section 6.02.02(B)(2)(a), the Board of County Commissioners must consider the following standards, as specified in Section 10.01.30 of the Land Development Code. 1. The requested variance arises from conditions which are unique and peculiar to the land involved; that if the provisions oLSection 6.02.02(B)(2)(a) of this Code are literally enforced, they would create an unnecessary hardship to the owner; that the conditions are not ordinarily found in the same zoning district; and that the conditions are not caused by actions of the property owner or applicant. -✓' May 4, 1999 Page 2 Subject: Guido and Deanna Chibas Shoreline Variance Request The subject property is located at 582 Oleander Court and is zoned RS-4 (Residential, Single -Family - 4 du/acre), which requires a front setback of 25 feet, side setbacks of 7%2 feet, and because it is adjacent to the St. Lucie River, a rear setback of 50 feet from the Mean High Water Line (MHWL). The requested variance arises from conditions which are unique and peculiar to the property and structures involved. The subject property already has a seawall and dock along the St. Lucie River. No degradation of the shoreline and native vegetation is expected to occur if the setback is reduced from the current 50 feet to the proposed 32 feet. Furthermore, a concrete retaining wall and slab are already located within 32 feet of the MHWL. 2. The granting of this variance will not impair or injure other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the subject property is located. The reduction of the buffer zone has been determined to have no significant impact upon the water quality and shoreline protection needs of the St. Lucie River. The subject property has an existing seawall and dock located along the river as well as a concrete wall and slab located within 32 feet of the MHWL. A degradation of the water quality is not expected to occur. 3. The variance is the minimum that will make possible the reasonable use of the land. The requested variance is the minimum variance required in order to allow the Chibas to construct a new swimming pool in conformance with other existing homes in the subdivision. 4. The variance will not be opposed to the general spirit and intent of this Code or the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed variance is not opposed to the general spirit and intent of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code or Comprehensive Plan. The variance, if granted, would allow the applicant to construct a swimming pool in an area on his property which would not negatively effect the shoreline and native vegetation of the St. Lucie River. Based upon these findings, staff recommends that you approve the above cited request for a variance from the provisions of Section 6.02.02(B)(2)(a), St. Lucie County Land Development Code - St. Lucie River Shoreline Setbacks. Staff recommends approval of Draft Resolution 99-016. %we 0 May 4, 1999 Page 3 Subject: Guido and Deanna Chibas Shoreline Variance Request Please contact this office if you have any questions on this matter.

Through the due diligence associated with the acquisition, St. Lucie County utility consultants based all assumptions and projections of revenues for the system on existing rates currently in effect for Holiday Pines Service Corporation. One of the major factors in the feasibility of A acquisition of the Holiday Pines Utility System was the existing rate structure that provided significant revenues to support the initial purchase without financial assistance from other sources. The existing rate structure supports future projected operation and maintenance costs and allows for improvements and upgrades to the system as it grows. The system will have at 400 additional Equivalent Residential Connections (ERC's) of water and sewer that will require little or no capital investment for implementation. These 400 ERC's represent approximately 30% of the systems capacity, likewise the 400 ERC's, based on the current rate structure have the ability to increase the Utility system's revenues 30% as well. The 30% increase in revenues will provide the utility the financial stability desired for a small system. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution #99-107 preliminary establishment the North County Utility District rates, fees and charges. Staff further requests that the Board grant permission to advertise for a public hearing on May 18, 1999 at 7:00 P.M. or as soon there after as possible for final consideration of the rates, fees and charges for the North County Utility District.

West, P.E. County Engineer BACKGROUND: On April 1, 1999, a grant application was submitted to FIND for the Taylor Creek Dredging project. As a requirement of the FIND application process, we are required to identify a site for the dredging spoil material. We must provide proof of ownership of the spoil site property within 60 days from the April 1" filing date. At this point in time, we have not identified a dredging spoil site. We are considering the use of County - owned properties including Airport property and Fairwinds Golf Course. Selection of a proper spoil site will have a great impact on project cost and is deserving of careful consideration and cost analysis. If a County -owned property is selected as the best spoil site, purchase will not be necessary. However, some form of lease agreement or easement will be required to meet FIND requirements. The attached proposal from Williams, Hatfield & Stoner Engineering Consultants is to provide the necessary surveys, cost analysis, research and legal documents to allow the County to proceed with site selection and purchase. To keep the project moving forward, staff is proposing that we proceed with site selection immediately. This will allow us to continue with the FIND application process. In June we will have a better indication of what funding can be provided by FIND. We are presently negotiating contracts with SFWMD and SJRWMD/NEP for additional grant funds.

LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Heather Young, Assistant County Attorney C.A. NO: 99-598 DATE: April 30, 1999 SUBJECT: Airport Instrument Landing System (ILS) - Termination of Maintenance Agreement with George Miler, Inc., d/b/a Miler Tronics and Approval of Maintenance Agreement with James F. Saulnier BACKGROUND: On September 22, 1998, the Port and Airport Authority approved the renewal of the agreement with George Miler, Inc., d/b/a Miler Tronics to maintain the instrument landing system (ILS) at the airport. Miler Tronics will no longer be able to provide this service due to the recent death of Mr. Miler who was the company's only FAA certified maintenance technician. The only other FAA certified ILS technician in the State of Florida is James F. Saulnier. The FAA requires monthly maintenance of the ILS by a certified technician in order for the system to remain in operation. Mr. Saulnier is willing to provide ILS maintenance services to the County at a cost of one thousand four hundred sixty-two and 00/ 100 dollars ($1,462.00) per month. This constitutes a two hundred nine and 00/ 100 dollars ($209.00) increase per month over Miler Tronics' fee. The increase is based upon one-half of Mr. Saulnier's higher insurance costs as an individual. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners terminate the agreement with George Miler, Inc., d/b/a Miler Tronics to provide mairtenance of the airport ILS. Staff further recommends that the Board determine James F. Saulnier to be a sole source for ILS maintenance services in Florida, approve the proposed agreement with Mr. Saulnier to provide these services subject to review by the County Attorney, and authorize the chairman to execute the agreement.

We had hoped to be able to perform the maintenance for you in April. However, Wyatt does not have his verification letter from a test taken March 11, so I don't see how he can have the verifications for work completed the end of March. As MilerTronics has used all available non-federal technicians in the South East Region to come to Fort Pierce, out only alternative is to give up the contract. Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Kennedy have both stated that they could not come again to Fort Pierce because of the distance and the time away from their own facilities. They have both been most accommodating and have done an excellent job for Fort Pierce Airport. It has been a pleasure to work at the Fort Pierce Airport and we wish you well in getting a competent maintenance technician. MilerTronics would be pleased to do the work for you again whenever Wyatt receives his verifications.

LUCIE COUNTY, a political subdivision organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida (hereinafter referred to as the "Public Agency"). WITNESSETH: In consideration of the mutual benefits and obligations assumed herein, the undersigned hereby agree as follows: Section I. Findings. The undersigned hereby find, determine and declare as follows: A. Pursuant to all of the privileges, benefits, powers and terms of Ordinance No. 214 of the City of Moore Haven, Florida, as amended (the "Ordinance"), Section 163.01, et seq, Florida Statutes, as amended, Chapter 166, Chapter 159, together with all of the home rule powers granted by the Constitution and laws of the State of Florida, and all other applicable provisions of law (the "Act"), the Sponsor was created within the State of Florida and is authorized to issue revenue bonds or other obligations under the Act to assist in financing the cost of the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, improvement and equipping of Qualifying Projects under the Ordinance (the "Program Projects"). B. Pursuant to Section 163.01, et seq, Florida Statutes, as amended, and pursuant to Chapter 125, Florida Statutes, as amended, and Chapter 159, Part II, Florida Statutes, as amended (the "Local Law"), the Public Agency is authorized to assist in financing or refinancing the acquisition, development, construction and equipping of the Program Projects which are located in its Area of Operation, namely, (1) solid waste facilities comprising a construction and debris (C&D) municipal recycling facility located on an approximately 5 acre site at 9901 Range Line Road, Port St. Lucie, Florida 33498 (the "Site"), including - acquisition of the Site and current improvements, and (2) related engineering and permitting costs (the "Local Projects"). C. South Florida Recycling, Inc., a Florida corporation, or its affiliates, as the owners or developers of the Local Projects (the "Borrowers") desire to acquire, construct and operate the Local Projects, one or more of which is within the territory and jurisdiction of the Public Agency or has a nexus with the Public Agency under the Local Law, which Local Projects constitute Qualifying Projects as herein defined. D. Pursuant to the Local Law, the Public Agency constitutes a "Public Agency" as herein defined and the Sponsor and the Public Agency, respectively, are authorized to enter into this Interlocal Agreement. -1- E. The Sponsor has established its Capital Projects Loan Program (the "Program") and has provided for the issuance of the Sponsor's Bonds which provide funds for the Borrowers to finance or refinancing the acquisition, development, construction and equipping of the Local Projects pursuant to this Interlocal Agreement. F. By pooling the resources of the Sponsor, the Public Agency and other Public Agencies, the benefits of lower interest rates and economies of scale associated with a large scale financing may be obtained and passed through to the Borrowers, for the benefit of the Public Agency and the Borrowers within its jurisdiction.

Within the Public Agency there is a demand for acquisition, development, construction and equipping of solid waste facilities, including the Local Projects, and there is a shortage of readily available capital for investment in such facilities and this shortage constitutes a threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Public Agency, and causes the Public Agency to make expenditures for public health, safety and welfare and for other public services and facilities. J. Such demand cannot be met and such shortage cannot be relieved except through the encouragement of investment by both public and private enterprise and by the stimulation of the acquisition, development, construction and equipping of solid waste facilities, including the Local Projects, through the use of public financing. K. The financing and refinancing of the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, improvement and equipping of the Local Projects and of the real and personal property and other facilities necessary, incidental and appurtenant thereto are public uses and purposes for which public money may be advanced or loaned and are municipal and governmental functions of public concern. L. The Borrowers doing business within the jurisdiction of the Public Agency desire to borrow monies from the Program to finance or refinance the Local Projects. M. The Ordinance authorizes this Interlocal Agreement and confers upon the Sponsor the authority to loan such funds from the Program to the Borrowers to finance or refinance the Local Projects which are located within the territory and jurisdiction of the Public Agency. N. It is the intent of the parties hereto to provide an additional method of financing for the Local Projects of the Borrowers within the Area of Operation of the Public -2- %%W SM001.

BLAZAK, DIRECTOR U l- DATE: APRIL 13, 1999 C- Z UTILITIES & RECYCLING DEPARTMENT WILLIAM BLAZAK DIRECTOR SUBP Work authorization with Inwood Consulting Engineers to identify and design various potable water distribution points throughout the Airport facility. In addition to design of the water system rates and applicable charges will be established will be established to serve as the basis for a Utility District at the Airport. Total cost of the authorization is $24,954.00 With the construction of the wastewater collection system at the Airport the County now has the ability to collect revenues for wastewater treatment and disposal. In addition to revenues from service provided connection charges need to be established for customers seeking service that are not located on airport property. When Utility staff started the process of establishing a Utility District it was discovered that not all of the wastewater customers were served by individual water meters from the Airport water distribution system. This work authorization will identify those specific customers and provide engineering plans to eliminate multiple customers on single meters. Providing separate water meters will allow for individual billing for water and wastewater service at each customer's location. Establishment of the.rates and charges for the proposed District will allow County staff to develop a Uniform Service Policy and Rate Resolution to be adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. Inwood Consulting will be utilizing the County's utility consultant as part of the proposed tasks.

The proposed FCT application was submitted during the 1998 Florida Communities Trust (FCT) application cycle, but was not selected for funding. Florida Communities Trust is a competitive grant program, open to governmental bodies through Florida. The Land Acquisition Selection Committee has recommended that the application be resubmitted, with the modifications necessary to enhance the application. Paleo Hammock is an 80 acre site located approximately 15 miles from the City of Fort Pierce on the west side of Carlton Road (Exhibit A). The Paleo Hammock lands contain archaeological remains that have been classified by the Florida Division of Historical Resources as significant archaeologically, both on a state and regional level (See attached letter). Additionally, the project contains upland and wetland communities which contain and is suitable for protected species. The Paleo Hammock FCT application includes provisions for recreation facilities that focus on natural resource based activities with trail facilities. Initially, a start-up package that includes minimal improvements to open the site to the public, and initial resource enhancement needs, will be required. This includes a small shell parking lot, gate, signage, kiosk, and chemicals for the removal of exotics. The property has existing trails. Funding for the start-up package are estimated to be $2,095. Some of the start up costs can be provided from the Environmentally Significant Lands Fund. Because the entire draft is lengthy, the summary is provided for your review (Exhibit B). The complete application is available in the Community Development Department. Please note that the project costs estimates are preliminary. and -the actual purchase price will be based upon the final appraised value. in E5 April 28, 1999 Page 2 Petition: FCT Application Paleo Hammock Staff recommends the Board authorize staff to submit the Paleo Hammock Florida Communities Trust grant application on the behalf of the County Commission.

Mortham Secretary of State DIVISION OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES Ms. Diana Waite St. Lucie County 2300 Virginia Ave. Fort Pierce, Florida 34982 Dear Ms. Waite MEMBER OF THE FLORIDA CABINET Division of Library & Information Services Division of Historical Resources Ringling Museum of Art Division of Licensing Division of Elections � r m MAR - 4 1998 ' i ) i COMP,4UM-ri DEVE'-01 ENT ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FL February 27, 1998 I'm writing a letter of 'support for the Paleo Hammock Islands project in St. Lucie County to be purchased through a Florida Communities Trust grant from the Department of Community Affairs. I became familiar with the Paleo Hammocks Island project while reviewing new applications for the 1998 CARL (Conservation and Recreational Lands Program) cycle. I am Mr. George Percy's, Director of the Division of Historicl Resources, staff liaison for acquisitions that pass through the Land Acquisition and Management Advisory Council. Although the LAMAC staff feel this is a worthy project, it is the general consensus among them, and that of my predecessor who spent five years in this job, that this project has a much better chance of funding through the Florida Communities Trust program than it would through the CARL program. As you may be aware, the P-2000 funds are winding down, so it will be unlikely that more than a few new projects will make the final cut. While full funding may be restored in the future, those decisions will rest in the hands of the state the legislature. On the other hand, we can say that the archaeological resources at Paleo Hammock Islands are significant both on a state and regional level. I compiled the following short evaluation of the project, which may be of interest to you: Two archaeological sites-8SL1139 and 8SL1140--were recorded on this property by Dr. Ryan Wheeler of the CARL Archaeological Survey. Additionally, the Germany Canal DIRECTOR'S OFFICE R.A.

When this property was cleared for citrus groves, 75 projectile points, sharks teeth, St. Johns and other types of aboriginal pottery, a shell adze, bone tools, animal and human bone and glass beads were collected. However, the property owner, Dr. Browning, has no recollection of any artifacts being taken from his property. Whatever the case, 8SL1139 consists of a large crescent -shaped midden (refuse pile) on the western side of a large hammock. It is 700 m long and 100 m wide, with cultural deposits from 1 to 2 meters deep. Most of the artifacts date to the Malabar 11 period, with some implements dazing to the Archaic period. This site would be potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. 8SL1140 sits in the northwest comer of this property and is approximately 100 by 50 meters. Several shallow ponds occur on the margins of the site and may have been dug to create the original platform base of a mound. Mr. Jernigan dug a test pit in the site that produced bone, freshwater shell, limestone, sand -tempered plain and St. Johns pottery. In terms of significance, little is known about the archaeology of the interior Indian River/Lake Okeechobee region. Perhaps the 80 acre tract could be used to help educate the citizens and visitors to St. Lucie County regarding the culture of some prehistoric people who lived in the area thousands of years ago. In closing, we appreciate your interest in Florida's history. Should you have any questions about this letter or our support for this project, please feel free to contact us.

The 80.29 acre Palen Hammock was selected for purchase by the St. Lucie County Land Acquisition Selection Committee which is charged with the selection of lands to be purchased and protected through the County's Environmentally Significant. Lands (ESL) Program. The site is located in Township 36S, Range 38E, Sections 29 and 32, approximately 12 miles west of the City of Fort Pierce. Palen Hammock contains a variety of upland and wetland plant communities including 38 acres of Hydric Hammock, 37 acres of Wet Prairie, 4.5 acres of Slough and 0.5 acre of Depressional Marsh (Exhibit F). The Hydric Hammock and Marsh communities provide habitat for numerous wildlife, many of which have been observed on the site including Caracara, Wood Ibis, White Tailed Deer, Red-tailed Hawk, Pileated Woodpecker and Wild Turkey. The property is dominated by an unique hardwood hammock containing Hickory, Florida Maple, Red Maple, Elm, Sugarberry, Wild Mulberry, Black Tupelo, Sabal Palm, native orchids and the endangered Hand Fern. Some of the trees are more than one -hundred years old and very large. Archaeological and Historical Significance Three archaeological sites have been recorded on the Paleo Hammock project lands (Exhibit G). The Germany Canal Mound (8SL70) was recorded in 1985 in the southern half of the property. According to a site report issued by the Division of Historical Resources (Appendix B), a large amount of material was collected at this site in 1980. Material collected includes projectile points, drilled sharks teeth, St. Johns Check Stamped pottery and other types of aboriginal pottery, a shell adze, bone tools, animal bone, glass beads and human bones. C *%W In 1997, two additional sites, 8SL1139 and 8SL1140, were recorded by Ryan Wheeler with the Florida Division of Historical Resources, Bureau of Archeological Research. Site 8SL1139 is a very large _ crescent -shaped midden present in the center of the property. Artifacts found on the site include projectile points and pottery sherds. The large size of the midden and the diversity and amount of material reported makes 8SL1139 an especially important site that could potentially provide a great deal of information on the archaeology of the area. The other recently recorded site (8SL1140) is located in the northwestern corner of the Paleo Hammock. The shape and elevation of the mound suggest some planning in the original construction. 8SL1140 is unusual in its configuration, and may be constructed on an artificial platform of sand dug from the nearby borrow pits. A small scale excavation produced material typical of the middens in the area, including animal bone, freshwater shell, sand tempered pottery, St. Johns Plain pottery, and limestone. The sites, along with other middens and mounds in the area, are important in understanding the archaeology of western St. Lucie County. Little is known about the archaeology of the interior Indian River/Lake Okeechobee area. Proximity to the Allapattah Flats to the south, St. Johns Marsh to the north, Cypress Creek and Lake Okeechobee to the west, and the Atlantic coast to the east would have made this area a major cross-roads for aboriginal peoples. Because of this unique position, this region may exhibit an unusual blend of site types and material culture. The number of large sites in the area (approximately 15 miles square) indicates intensive past occupation. Most of these sites are still unrecorded. The condition and size of 8SL1139 and 8SL1140 make a particularly good example of the kind of site complex present in this region. Physical Disturbances and Restoration Potential Past disturbance activity is largely reflected in the form of drainage ditches constructed to drain wetland areas for agricultural uses. One drainage ditch runs diagonally through the site separating the Wet prairie community from the Hydric hammock community. The on -site ditches will be evaluated to determine the improvements necessary to enhance and replicate natural hydrologic functions. The site understory species, which with the exception of less than one acre of Bahia grass, are entirely native. However, they have been partially impacted by cattle grazing and mowing. The removal of cattle - and the cessation of mowing will assist in the restoration of the site's biodiversity. Very few exotics can be found scattered throughout the property and along the eastern and western boundaries. The hammocks were planted with citrus by pioneers prior to the 1894-95 Florida Freeze. The pioneers planted citrus groves along the natural contour lines of the site and not on raised beds as is the practice today. This prevented subsurface disturbance of the site's archaeological mounds. The citrus trees in these hammocks and along Ten Mile Creek were the only citrus trees to survive in the State; the seedling stock from this area rekindled the citrus industry in Florida. A few of the original trees survive today from the 19th Century plantings on this site. VA Recreational Opportunities Recreational facilities on the Paleo Hammock site will be designed for outdoor recreation and natural resource preservation and education. Trail facilities, interpretative signage and observation areas for viewing and studying land and wildlife will be provided. Interpretive signs will also be posted to identify the archaeological features and their history. All recreational facilities will be compatible with the environmental integrity of the site, and special consideration will be placed on preserving the historical features on the site. In summary, the proposed Paleo Hammock acquisition provides an excellent opportunity to fulfill the goals and objectives of St. Lucie County's Environmentally Significant Lands Program and the County's Comprehensive Plan. The site offers an excellent example of the diverse upland and wetland communities which contain or are suitable habitat for both state and federally protected plant and animal species. The preservation of natural areas is particularly important in St. Lucie County because of the tremendous loss of native plant communities to citrus groves in the past 20 years. In addition, the Director of the Division of Historic Resources has recognized the site as being of state and regional significance. Further exploration of the sites cultural history needs to be conducted. Public acquisition of the Paleo Hammock will ensure the long term protection of the site's archaeological resources, allow further exploration, and preserve high quality natural communities representative of St. Lucie County's original ecosystems. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION [Rule 9K-4.0031(12) and Rule 9K-4.004(5)(b)5., F.A.C.) Acquisition of the Paleo Hammock will assist St. Lucie County in implementing the goals, objectives, and policies associated with the Conservation, Coastal, and Recreation and Open Space, Future Land Use, Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital Improvement Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Exhibit A lists the specific Goals, Objectives and Policies for the individual elements. Conservation Element Public acquisition of the Paleo Hammock would assist St. Lucie County in implementing Goal 8.1 which provides for the protection, appropriate use and conservation of the County's natural resources; and Policy 8.1.8.7 which states that St. Lucie County shall ensure maximum protection of plant and animal species of the remaining native plant communities within the County; and Conservation Policy 8.1.13.2 which directs the County to pursue grants from state, federal and private organizations to plan and assemble a greenway network. Acquisition of the Paleo Hammock also furthers conservation goals, objectives and policies which establish and provide guidelines for purchases under the County's Environmentally Significant Land Program. Policy 8.1.8.9 provides methods of preservation which include acquisition, restriction or prohibition of activities. Policy 8.1.4.9 requires the County to analyze, inventory, .and acquire wetland habitat; and Policy 8.1.5 directs the County to enact regulations which require the protection of groundwater. Policies 8.1.8.2 and 8.1.8.11 direct St. Lucie County to preserve 25% of the remaining upland habitats and protect endangered and threatened species and their habitats. Coastal Element Acquisition of the Paleo Hammock site will assist in the protection and enhancement of surface waters in St. Lucie County. The protection and enhancement of surface waters and wetlands further Objective 7.1.2 which requires the County to protect, conserve, and enhance wildlife habitat in the coastal area; - Objective 7.1.4 that directs the County to maintain or improve water quality in the Indian River Lagoon and Policy 7.1.2.2. which requires the removal of all nuisance and exotic vegetation.. Recreation and Open Space Element Acquisition of this project will provide an additional 80.29 acres for open space and outdoor recreation use which will assist the local government in providing recreational opportunities that are not currently available in St. Lucie County. Hiking trails and nature trails, which are currently below state median guidelines, will be provided. In addition, this acquisition will provide access to a significant. archaeological site. Public ownership of the Paleo Hammock will alsw&rther Recreation and Open Space Goal 9.1 which requires the County to provide a broad range of additional recreation and open space facilities to I *14e 1%01� residents of St. Lucie County; Recreation and Open Space Policy 9.1.1.2 which directs St. Lucie County to achieve the required level of service for its residents through acquisition and development programs; Recreation and Open Space Objective 9.1.1.3 which directs the County to continue to correct and improve upon existing deficiency through additional land acquisition and development; and Recreation and Open Space Objective 9.1.3.1 which provides for the provision of access ways which are compatible with the character and needs of the facility. Nature trails and interpretative signage will be provided with minimum disturbance to the site's natural resources. Intergovernmental Coordination Element Acquisition of the Paleo Hammock site would assist the County in implementing Goal 10.1 which provides for the establishment of effective coordination measures among all pertinent public entities to best maintain St Lucie County's quality of life. Future Land Use Element Acquisition of the Paleo Hammock site will further Future Land Use Objective 1.1.6 which requires the County to protect historically significant structures, facilities and locations within the County; Objective 1.1.9 which directs the County to set standards for the protection/creation of the remaining native plant communities within the County; and Policy 1.1.9.1 which directs the County within its Land Development Regulations to set standards for the protection and preservation of both wetland and upland habitat. 10 CONCEPTUAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AND SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR MANAGEMENT [Rule 9K-4.004(5)(d), F.A.C.] Purpose: 1. Utilize the acquired natural areas to implement the Conservation and Recreation and Open Space Elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan; and 2. Maintain and restore valuable South Florida upland and wetland communities; and 3. Preserve an archaeological site of state and regional significance; and 4. Develop awareness of the County's native ecosystems and the wildlife that utilizes them; and 5. Provide public educational and recreational opportunities not currently provided by the County. Existing Physical Improvements There are few existing physical improvements on the Paleo Hammock property. The site is accessed via a paved public road. Two power poles with a fuse box are located on the property. Drainage ditches have been constructed along the northern and western boundary of the site. An additional drainage ditch runs diagonally across the site, separating the Wet Prairie community from the Hydric Hammock community. The property is surrounded by an existing fence (Exhibit G). Proposed Physical Improvements Minor physical improvements are proposed for this site. A small shell parking lot will be created in the - eastern section of the site with convenient access to the paved road. Nature trails will be constructed to facilitate nature study, photography and wildlife viewing. An observation tower will be erected to allow the viewing of Depressional marsh wildlife. Signage explaining the physical attributes and history of the on -site archaeological features will be installed. To increase the amount of transitional species, the County will evaluate the ditches to determine if they should be plugged, removed or culverted to facilitate natural hydrologic sheet flow patterns. Access Provisions The site will be accessed from Carlton Road, a paved county roadway that connects to Intrastate Highway State Route 70. Access to the site will,be-controlled by gates. Parking will be provided in the site's .center portion along the eastern boundary with access to Carlton Road. Nature trails from the 11 parking area will lead to the archaeological mounds and middens. Additional trails will be created through the Hammock areas. Emergency vehicle access will be provided from Carlton Road. Maintenance, Security, and Staffing Responsibilities The County Leisure Services Department will assume responsibility for the on -going management and maintenance of the site. The County proposes to provide a "Volunteer in the Park" program where a volunteer may be able to park a recreational vehicle in exchange for on -site security and light maintenance. No additional staff will be necessary to manage the site at this time. Additional security will be provided by the County Sheriffs Department and the Ranch and Grove Patrol. Components of Site Protection, Enhancement and Restoration Site protection, enhancement and restoration will be the responsibility of St. Lucie County. Site Protection - The existing perimeter fences will control pedestrian and vehicular access. Additional protection will be provided by strategically located informational signs and through enforcement of local conservation ordinances. Wild Hogs have not been a problem on the site, but to protect native plant communities, any that are encountered will be trapped and removed from the site. Enhancement and Restoration - Natural communities have been altered due to grazing by cattle, invasion of exotic species and drainage of wetlands. Due to their negative impacts, all cattle will be removed from the site. Though few Brazilian pepper trees (Schinus terebinthifolius) occur on the site, a removal program will be initiated to remove Brazilian pepper and other exotics such as tropical soda apple, citrus, guava, Russian olive, etc. that are present on site. The drainage ditches will be evaluated to determine which will be plugged, eliminated or culverted to facilitate natural hydrology. Improving site hydrology will restore historic hydrologic functions, enhance wetland species composition and restore flow patterns. -Hydrologic restoration efforts will potentially restore the 37 acres of Wet Prairie. With the restoration of historic sheet flow patterns, additional wetland species such as pickerelweed, sagitarria and St. Johns Wort, will become established. A monitoring plan utilizing photoplots and transects will be established to evaluate management objectives. Funding St. Lucie County will provide funding through the Environmentally Significant Lands (ESL) Bond Fund for initial improvements such as fencing, signage, parking area, and exotic removal. General revenue funds will be the funding source for the management of the site. 12 0 AGENDA REQUESTO ITEM NO. - - 3d DATE: May 4, 1999 CONSENT [ X ] REGULAR[ ] PUBLIC HEARING[ ] Leg. [ ] Quasi -JD.

The proposed FCT application was submitted during the 1998 Florida Communities Trust (FCT) application cycle, but was not selected for funding. Florida Communities Trust is a competitive grant program, open to governmental bodies through Florida. The Land Acquisition Selection Committee has recommended that the application be resubmitted, with the addition of an adjacent 9 acre parcel, and modifications necessary to enhance the application. Sheraton Plaza Preserve is a 66 acre site located on the south side of Juanita Avenue, just north of the City of Fort Pierce (Exhibit A). The Sheraton Plaza Preserve contains intact natural communities that supports two families of Florida Scrub jays, making it an important site for acquisition. Acquisition of the project lands will also expand recreational opportunities at the adjoining Sheraton Park, which is owned and managed by St. Lucie County. Existing trails link the Sheraton Park recreation area to the proposed preserve_ Purchase of the project lands will allow the County to provide controlled access into the preserve in a manner that protects the native habitats that support the Florida Scrub- jays. - The Sheraton Plaza Preserve FCT application includes provisions for limited recreation improvements. Recreation facilities available at the adjacent Sheraton Plaza Park will accommodate users of the Preserve. The application does provide for the provision of bike racks at the existing park. Other improvements will include fencing, exotic removal, and minimal improvements to existing trails. Because the entire draft is lengthy, the summary is provided for your review (Exhibit B). The complete application is available in the Community Development Department. Please note that the project costs estimates are preliminary and the actual purchase price will be based upon the final appraised value. Staff recommends the Board authorize staff to submit the Sheraton Plaza Preserve Florida Communities Trust grant application on the behalf of the County Commission. 9M V" April 28, 1999 Page 2 Submitted By: Julia Shewchuk Community Development Director cc: County Administrator Press/Public Petition: FCT Application Sheraton Plaza Preserve � W �n n o ° C N WJ LJ_ �N O O w - 6 l � < T 4 v U n V N •+ C r n II 4 Q �7 o- € e W L b0 o O3WU -F�cz yP�( tO StV U) OL = < W �►M W p t f � 9Lb HLS43A r S WrWr 15 PARK 1 3 -WN-Xwu WAY N yP V ar L y itr W !b W O� f" M 1 ow rs!

LUCIE COUNTY PROJECT INFORMATION PROJECT PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES [Rule 9K-4.0031(10)&(12) and Rule 9K-4.004(5)(a)3., F.A.C.] Statement of purpose and objectives, including a discussion of reasons in support of project site acquisition, future uses, improvements, facilities, and activities intended on the site. The purpose of the Sheraton Plaza Preserve application is to seek matching funds that will allow for the public acquisition and preservation of lands that provide habitat for the Florida Scrub Jay, expands an existing County park, assist in the development of a countywide greenway system, and: * implements portions of the Conservation and Recreation and Open Space Elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan; and * protects, restore, and maintain natural ecosystems for passive recreation and to preserve critical habitat for listed species; and * preserves and maintain the southern segment of connected occupied territories of the Florida scrub jay within an urban setting; and * preserves and maintain a segment of an existing Florida scrub jay dispersal corridor; and * enhances the Florida scrub jay habitat and territory with the recommendation and guidance of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission; and * removes all invasive exotic plant species as part of the land management and habitat restoration initiatives; and * provides passive recreation opportunities for hiking, nature study, bird watching and awareness of the beauty and diversity of ecosystems for man and nature; and * protects, appropriately use, and conserve the natural resources of St. Lucie County, in a manner which maximizes their functions and values. The 68-acre project, just north of the City of Ft. Pierce, currently supports 2 families of the Florida scrub jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens), a species that is listed as threatened by both the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. An endemic species, Florida scrub jay populations have been and are declining statewide due to habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, and habitat modification. Recently, the total population of scrub jays was estimated to be 7,000-11,000 individuals. The acquisition and preservation of the Sheraton Plaza Preserve would assist in maintaining the current scrub jay population levels. Also, the Preserve site is the southernmost tract of lands in a 2-mile long area of Florida scrub- 0 jay territories, after which the next closest known scrub jay territory is another 2 miles to the north and over 4 miles to the southeast. Therefore, the project site would function as part of a dispersal corridor or as a "stepping stone" for individual scrub jays moving to other territories within and adjacent to St. Lucie County. The Preserve is comprised of 31.96 acres of scrubby flatwoods, 27 acres of mesic flatwoods, and 9 acres of Pine flatwoods, of which the scrubby flatwoods have been designated as "very rare" in the state by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory. Studies and scientists indicate that specific xeric habitats, including scrubby flatwoods, are directly related to the continued existence of the Florida scrub jay. Unfortunately, there has been a rapid conversion of these habitats into citrus groves, rural residential development, mobil -home parks, industrial construction, shopping malls, golf courses and other recreational uses, due to the rapid growth of the human population in Florida. Xeric habitats are also documented to support a large number of other endemic species, as well as, other state and federally protected species, such as the Lakela's Mint, Gopher Frog, Eastern Indigo Snake, Gopher Tortoise, Florida Mouse, and the Florida Pine Snake. Located in the urban area in close proximity to the City of Fort Pierce, the 68-acre project site has the potential to be developed into either multi -family or single-family residences of up to 5 dwelling units per acres, based on the current zoning of RM-5. Therefore, the project site has the development potential of supporting up to 340 residential units. However, once acquired and preserved, the intention is to utilize the onsite natural resources to provide passive recreational activities in an urban area. Only minor improvements are proposed for the Sheraton Plaza Preserve because it is located immediately adjacent to a existing county -owned neighborhood park with existing facilities. Facilities provided at Sheraton Plaza, the existing park located south and east of the project site, are parking, restroom facilities, tiny tots playground, softball/baseball/soccer field, picnic shelters, and basketball courts. Existing trails from the community park into the project site, would suffice as natural trails with little improvements, expanding the recreational activities in this location to include passive uses such as bird watching, hiking, and nature study. The intent of the project is to provide passive recreational activities compatible with the preservation of the Florida scrub jay and its habitat. The purchase and preservation of the site will expand the existing usage of the adjacent county -owned community park to include passive recreational activities, such as bird watching, nature study, hiking, and will assist in filling gaps in the County's greenway system. For partnership applications, the statement should address the purposes and objectives of the joint project and the division of responsibilities among the partners (including fiscal and management commitments) and include interlocal agreements, if any, relative to the proposed joint project. Not Applicable. For applicant requesting a loan, the statement should also address the need for a loan. Not Applicable. 7 %W 14 ` COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION [Rule 9K-4.0031(12) and Rule 9K-4.004(5)(b)5., F.A.C.] Statement, with cross-references to specific comprehensive plan, goals, objectives and policies and the appropriate provisions in the support documents, describing how the project will assist the local government in implementing the recreation and open space, conservation, or coastal management elements of the comprehensive plan. Through the acquisition and protection of the Sheraton Plaza Preserve, the following goals, objectives, and policies in County's Comprehensive Plan are furthered: The Conservation Element establishes the goal to protect, appropriately use, or conserve the natural resources in a manner which maximizes their function and values (Goal 8.1). Through the acquisition, preservation and development design of this project site, this will be complied with. Objective 8.1.6, Policy 8.1.6.2, and Policy 8.1.8.8 ("protect and conserve the natural functions of soils" by prohibiting "the use of off -road vehicles in areas identified as environmentally sensitive") are complied with through the restriction of unauthorized access into the project boundaries. Policy 8.1.8.1 promotes land development regulations which require the removal of all exotic vegetation from sites and replacement with native vegetation. The acquisition of this project site into public ownership will further the increase of natural preserve lands (Objective 8.1.8) through the process established in Policy 8.1.8.11("establish a County Land Acquisition Selection Committee whose function shall be to ... formulate a master acquisition list of lands having native habitats"). Also complied with are Objective 8.1.12 and Policy 8.1.12.1("identify for conservation and protection" "environmentally sensitive upland ... areas"). Policy 8.1.8.2 state that the land development regulations to be adopted by August 1, 1990, shall include criteria for the protection of all endangered and threatened plant and animal species as well as the conservation of the supporting native habitat. Policy 8.1.8.7 states that St. Lucie County shall include within its Land Development Regulations criteria and standards to ensure maximum protection of the remaining native plant communities within the County. St. Lucie County Resource Protection, Land Development Code Sec. 6.00.00 implements these policies. With the acquisition of the Sheraton Plaza Preserve, in setting aside open natural land in an established urban area for passive recreation, fulfills Goal 9.1 and Objective 9.1.1 in the Recreation and Open Space Element ("provide active and passive recreation facilities and open space areas which offer a broad range of activities to all citizens of St. Lucie County.) Policy 9.1.1.1 and Policy 9.1.1.2 establishes the levels of service standards for Recreation and Open Space and the guideline that these levels of service shall be " achieved ... through an equitable and systematic land acquisition and development program. This project site also complies with Policy 9.1.1.5 (identify ecological communities and designate those areas for open space and natural preservation, protection, conservation, and appropriate use ...."). Acquiring the site to expand the existing recreational facilities to include passive activities complies with Policy 9.1.1.3 ("The County will continue to correct and improve upon existing deficiencies through additional land acquisition and development... expansion or renovation of existing parks and recreational facilities") For partnership applications this statement should be based on the local comprehensive plan of the jurisdiction(s) within which the joint project is located, as well as relevant goals, objectives and policies of the local comprehensive plan of the application partner(s). If the project site is not wholly contained within one jurisdiction, then appropriate sections of the comprehensiveaptans of the various local governments wherein the project site lies are required to be cited. Not Applicable. 0 on M CONCEPTUAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AND SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR MANAGEMENT [Rule 9K-4.004(5)(d), F.A.C.] Lands acquired using Preservation 2000 funds shall be managed to make them available for public recreational use, provided that the recreational use does not interfere with the protection of natural resource values. Conceptually describe and identify the existing and proposed physical improvements; how access will be provided; who will be responsible for maintenance and security; staffing requirements; the primary components of site protection, enhancement and restoration; and expected sources of funding for the development and management of the site. The 68 acre Sheraton Plaza Preserve is in a natural condition, supporting scrubby flatwoods, mesic flatwoods, and pine flatwoods plant communities. The.site shows evidence of past and recent burning with burn scars and fire break lines, some as recent as a year old, approximately. In the south-eastern section of the property, old and new fire -break lines/trails, leading into the property from the adjacent neighborhood park, are the only form of improvements existing onsite (Exhibit G). A few exotic species, Brazilian pepper, are scattered along the perimeter of the site. Proposed physical improvements include the removal of the invasive exotic species, Brazilian pepper. Fencing and/or narrowly spaced posts would be installed to prohibit unauthorized vehicular access. Utilizing the existing firebreak lines onsite, nature trails with sheltered rest areas, and interpretive signs, and bike stands to accommodate cyclists are the only development improvements proposed for the Sheraton Plaza Preserve. This would expand the recreational activities offer at the adjacent county park to include passive uses such as bird watching, hiking, and nature study. Restrooms, picnic tables and parking are available at the adjacent Sheraton Plaza Park. Access to and use of the Sheraton Plaza Preserve would be through the adjacent neighborhood park, Sheraton Plaza, which provides active recreational facilities and parking for the public's use. The facilities at Sheraton Plaza Park, include a lighted basketball court, lighted softball/baseball field/soccer field, children's playground, picnic shelters, and restrooms. As a result, additional facilities and parking are not necessary within the Preserve boundaries, which further ensures that the recreational use will not interfere with the protection of the natural resource values. Utility rights -of -way accompany Juanita Avenue, however, they would not be affected by the acquisition and development of this site. Within the parcel boundary, in the northwest comer of the property, the Ft. Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA) has a liftstation easement that is 40 feet x 40 feet. This area would not be affected by the acquisition and development of the Preserve. The responsibility of maintenance and security of the Sheraton Plaza Preserve will be undertaken by St. Lucie County's Leisure Services Department. A fence will be constructed along the perimeter of the site, to ensure that dumping of trash or hazardous waste and unauthorized vehicular access does not occur. The Leisure Services 9 Department will monitor the area their day to day activities. Leisure Services personnel will contact the Sheriffs Department if they observe any vandalism, trespassing, and other property damage. - There is no additional staffing recommended at this site. Several preliminary vegetative and animal surveys have been conducted on the Sheraton Plaza Preserve. The Florida scrub jay and the Gopher tortoise are the listed species that have been observed onsite and will be protected through the preservation and management of the habitats onsite. Restoration of natural fire relationships will be the primary means utilized in the management of these species' habitats, in addition to exotic species removal and elimination of vehicular access. Vegetative Communities The Sheraton Plaza Preserve supports two (3) native vegetative communities: Scrubby flatwoods (31.96 acres), Mesic flatwoods (27 acres), and Pine flatwoods (9 acres). An estimated one acre of the exotic Brazilian pepper tree is also scattered throughout the site. Scrubby Flatwoods Scrubby flatwoods is characterized as an open canopy forest of widely scattered pine trees with a moderate to high density shrubby understory. The vegetation composition of this plant community is intermediate between scrub and mesic flatwoods associations, and are slightly higher and relatively better drained than flatwoods or dry prairies but lower than scrub or sandhills. Nearly endemic in Florida, this community is rapidly disappearing due to agricultural and urban development. Unfortunately, the occurrence of scrubby flatwoods in Florida is poorly documented. The Florida Natural Areas Inventory has listed this community as "very rare" both globally and statewide. Onsite, this vegetative community (31.96 acres) is comprised of a slash pine (Pinus elliottii) canopy with scrub oaks (Quercus geminata and Q. myrtifolia), sand pine (Pinus clausa), tallowwood (Ximenia americana), saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), fetterbush (Lyonia lucida), tarflower (Befaria racemosa), and wiregrass (Aristida stricta) as the understory. Due to recent fires on the property in the last year to three (3) years, a portion of the scrubby flatwoods no longer have the pine canopy cover. In this area, the dominant vegetation is the scrub oaks about 5-6 feet in height, fetterbush, tarflower, wild grape vines (Vitis spp.) and saw palmettos. Throughout the community are open sand patches and some access trails. Overall, this community is in excellent condition onsite with very little invasive plant species and very little trash. Mesic Flatwoods Flatwoods range from open forests of scattered pines to dense pine stands with either thick shrubby understory and very sparse groundcover, or a very sparse understory and a dense ground cover. This plant community is the most extensive type of terrestrial ecosystem in Florida. The 27 acres of mesic flatwoods onsite is dominated by a slash pine canopy with scattered clumps of scrub oaks as the subcanopy. The understory and groundcover are primarily comprised of saw palmetto, fetterbush, staggerbush (L. fruticosa), gallberry (Ilex glabra), tarflower, and grasses, particularly wiregrass. Most of the flatwoods is open with widely scattered pine trees, however, there are two relatively small portions of this habitat in the western section of the property where the pine cover is very dense. 10 A large portion of the mesic flatwo ds have been burned in the past year, an7lis, therefore, in excellent condition. Very little trash and exotic plant species were observed. Pine Flatwoods (9 acres) This community dominates the southern border of the site along the C-25 Canal right-of-way. The community includes slash pine with an understory of saw palmetto. Wildlife Resources Several inventories have been conducted on the project site by the St. Lucie County and U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologist. The native vegetative communities onsite have been determined to provide important wildlife habitat and to support several wildlife species, including the following listed species: Florida scrub -jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) - The Florida scrub jay, a threatened species under the state and federal protection programs, is considered the most conspicuous animal in the scrub. Scrub jays are unique in that they are extremely habitat specific, sedentary (year-round territoriality), monogamous, and have cooperative breeding, where "helpers", offspring from previous breeding seasons, assist in territory defense and care of current nesting season young. Scrub jays forage in the low -growing, open shrub habitat. Acorns are by far the most important plant food. From August to November, in addition to eating many acorns, the scrub jay will "cache", store away, acorns beneath the bare sand and leaf littler. (FCREPA, Volume V. Birds, 1997) (Appendix A) Through a sentinel system, where one member of the group sits atop the tallest exposed perch, distinctive warnings are given at the approach of predators or territory intruders. Periodic fires are necessary for the maintenance of nearly all Florida habitats, and xeric plant communities are no exception. For scrub jay habitat, a fire frequency averaging about once every ten (10) to twenty (20) years is optimal. Much greater frequency consistently maintains the principal oak species below acorn -bearing height. (Fitzpatrick, Woolfenden, Kopeny, 1991) (Appendix B) Onsite, two (2) scrub jay families with 3 individuals per family were observed, as well as, old nests. These two families are the southernmost families in a 2-mile long area of Florida scrub jay territories, after which the next closest known scrub jay territory is another 2 miles to the north and over 4 miles to the southeast. The size of scrub - jay territories depend mainly on habitat quality and social interactions between birds. The removal of suitable habitat from an active scrub jay territory would result in the compression of territory size, which, in turn, could result in mild to severe negative impacts to a family unit or population. Due to past fires, the scrub jay habitat onsite is in excellent condition. Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) - The gopher tortoise is classified as a species of special concern by the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (GFC). Gopher tortoises occupy a wide range of upland habitat types that have the presence of well -drained, sandy soils, and an abundance of herbaceous ground cover, generally with an open canopy cover to allow sunlight to reach the ground. (Cox, Inkley, Kautz, 1987) (Appendix C) An ample amount of sunlight reaching the ground is also necessary for incubation of gopher tortoise eggs which are laid in the mound of soil at the burrow opening. Gopher tortoise burrows may provide refuge for as many as sixty (60) vertebrate and three hundred -two (302) invertebrate species. Many endangered and threatened species, such as the Florida mouse (Peromyscus floridanus), Eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couperi), Florida Pine Snake (Pituophis melanoleucus mugitus) and.__ Gopher frog (Rana capito aesopus), are believed to require gopher burrows for their existence. Based on field sightings, gopher tortoises and their habitat occurs within the site. Several active and inactive burrows were observed within the scrubby flatwoods and mesic flatwoods communities. The conservation of this species may be accomplished by restricting the site from off -road vehicular activity which result in not allowing 11 the establishment of native forages material, as well as abandonment and llapse of existing gopher tortoise burrows. A burn program will promote important forage production. Resource enhancement programs that address the longterm viability of the onsite habitats and listed species are part of the plan for the Sheraton Plaza Preserve. Management programs include controlled burns, exotic species removal, and elimination of trash and unauthorized access. Archaeological and Historic Resource Protection There are no known archaeological or historic resources onsite. 1.

SCOPE OF WORK This section of the proposal provides our work plan. MGT attaches great importance to the work plan. It is the document we use to monitor our activities internally and to keep the project on schedule. It also serves as the basis from which St. Lucie County's Project Manager can track the study's progress. It is extremely important to the success of the study that our work plan present in detail the tasks and activities we will use to achieve the goals and objectives established by St. Lucie County. It should be noted that the implementation of some of the following tasks by nature of the activities must be sequential, while others can be completed simultaneously. C.1 Detailed Work Plan We have developed a detailed work plan that fully addresses the scope of work described in the Request for Proposals (RFP). Each of our five major tasks in the work plan describes the purpose, objectives, specific work steps, and the proposed deliverables. We have structured our work plan to provide ongoing information to St. Lucie County. To establish clear accountability throughout the project, each task has one or more deliverables. White we place great importance on the relevance and detail of our work plan, we also recognize that it must be flexible enough to accommodate unforeseen problems and issues with greater emphasis given to certain areas once the contract is awarded. To meet the unique needs of St. Lucie County, we have included as our first task a meeting with the county's project manager for the purpose of conducting a review of our proposed work plan. Based upon this review, we will make appropriate adjustments and issue a revised written work plan and schedule. This task will ensure that both MGT and St. Lucie EXHIBIT h1GTot America. Inc.

Daniel McIntyre - Stluciel.doc �1rn►' — age St. Lucie County Automated Services Study The schedule below identifies the duration of the various tasks outlined in our proposal. Brief descriptions will be helpful. Task 1.0, Conduct Project Start-up Meeting and Orientation Activities , will start on May 1 and will be concluded when a modified work plan is provided on or before May 14. The actual start-up meeting will probably be conducted around May 6 or 7. Task 2.0, Project Administration, will start on May 1 and be concluded in early September. The expectation is that the final activity of this task will be a presentation to the County Management Team or the County Commission, thus it is difficult to identify an exact ending. Of course, if a final presentation is not desired, then the task will end with the submission of the final report. Task 3.0, Conduct Background and Diagnostic Review, will commence around May 17 and will be completed with the submission of a summary document that outlines the major findings and issues. That will occur on June 15. Task 4.0, Conduct Analysis of Identified Issues, will begin in early June and will continue through the delivery of a summary of the analyses that will occur on July 2. Task 5.0, Develop Draft and Final Report, will start in late June and be completed by August 16. MGT's approach will be to deliver a draft report for review by St. Lucie County officials. Upon receipt of St. Lucie County reactions, we will complete the final report. Thus, the actual date for the delivery of the final report is somewhat dependent upon the length of time required by county staff to review and provide feedback on the draft report.
