BACKGROUND: In 1998 the County began the planning and design of a Port Project to dredge the muck sediments from Taylor Creek, at the North boundary of the Port of Fort Pierce. The initial spoil site was located at the Port of Fort Pierce on Mr. Lloyd Bell's property. Phase I of the Project was completed in December, 2006 and it involved the dredging of muck between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Railroad Bridge. Approximately 95,000 cubic yards of muck was removed in Phase I. Phase 3 of the Project involved the stabilization of the banks of Taylor Creek, to help control the source of sediment. The banks of the Creek were lined with a stone revetment. Phase 3 of the Project was completed in February of 2008. In June 2007, the spoil disposal site on Mr. Lloyd Bell's property was disassembled. Currently, the County is working to implement Phase 2 of the Taylor Creek Project. This involves dredging of an additional 100,000 cubic yards of muck sediments, upstream of the Railroad Bridge. The County initiated a spoil site selection process in August 2007. To date, a total of 7 properties have been evaluated as potential spoil sites. Based upon a preliminary evaluation report prepared by Dredging and Marine Consultants and Engineering, LLC. (see attached copy) Staff is recommending the Ridgehaven property at the SLC Airport. Several factors need to be considered by the Board in evaluating a decision to use the Ridgehaven property as a potential spoil site: (1) The primary environmental issue is gopher tortoise relocation. Approximately 28 gopher tortoise burrows have been identified in the field and plotted on a site map. Relocation permits and a management plan will be necessary. (2) The FAA and the FDOT must approve the use of the land as a dredge spoil site. Release of the land from the Airport Master Plan will need to be approved by the FAA and the FDOT, as well as the BOCC. (3) A monetary exchange for use of the property will need to be negotiated between the Port, Airport, and the FAA/FDOT. Portions of the Ridgehaven property were previously purchased using FAA/FDOT grants funds. A lease agreement for use of the property will need to be approved by the BOCC. (4) The BOCC will need to approve conceptual use of the Ridgehaven Site by May 27th, 2008, to be eligible to receive FSTED grant funds in the amount of $1,950,000, for spoil site construction. (5) A wildlife management plan will need to be prepared for the spoil site, to control bird activity in the Airport flight path. This plan will need to be approved by the FDOTIF AA to allow use of the spoil site on Airport property. (6) DMC Engineering has prepared a conceptual site plan and location drawing (copy attached) to establish a boundary for purposes of preparation of a property appraisal and boundary survey. (7) The attached rep'ort prepared by DMC, Engineering describes the evaluation of 7 properties that are located in and around Taylor Creek, including the Ridgehaven Site. The final version of the report will be issued after May 23rd.

Major Site Plan, Draft Resolution No. 08-094. (File No.: MJSP-1120071360) Board of County Commissioners Growth Management'Department SUBJECT: BACKGROUND: · On February 5, 1999 The Community Development Director issued CD-99- 001 granting Minor Site Plan approval to Bluewater Sportfishing Boats, Inc. to construct a 31,650 sq. ft. sport fishing boat manufacturing facility in two phases. Phase one consisted of two warehouses totaling 20,700 sq. ft. and was thereafter completed. · On July 18, 2000 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance 00-26 granting an exemption from certain Ad Valorem taxes to Bluewater Sportfishing Boats, Inc. · The original Minor Site Plan approval included a phase two totaling 10,950 sq. ft., which has not been built. Due to expansion of the business, the applicant is requesting an increase in building size of 14,400 sq. ft.. Therefore this petition is presented as a Major Adjustment to the Minor Site Plan. The requested expanSion triggers the Major Site Plan threshold. RECOMMENDATION: A Major Adjustment to a Minor Site Plan does not require a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission pursuant to Section 11.02.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code. Staff recommends approval of Draft Resolution 08-094, subject to a limiting condition, granting a Major Adjustment to a Minor Site Plan for the project to be known as Bluewater Sportfishing Boats Phase II Major Site Plan.

Lucie TPO, to transfer funds from the US 1 widening project to the ongoing SR A1A project. At the May 7, 2008 S1. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) meeting, representatives of the City of Fort Pierce requested the TPO formally agree to request the Florida Department of Transportation move design and right-of-way purchase funds from the US 1 6-laning project (Midway Road and Virginia Avenue) to the State Road A 1 A project currently underway within the City. Members of the TPO generally agreed in concept, but also agreed to allow the City of Fort Pierce and the SOCC have further discussion at the May 13, 2008 joint meeting. At the joint meeting, the two Commissions generally reached consensus on the proposal and the SOCC agreed to take formal action on the request at an upcoming Board meeting and forward that action back to the TPO. BOCC action will be forwarded to the TPO at the joint S1. Lucie TPO and Martin MPO meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 28,2008.
