BACKGROUND: On March 24, 2009, the Board approved the award of the contracts for two projects, Verada Ditch Improvements - Lucero Drive Culvert and Verada Ditch South of Calmoso, to Ranger Contstruction. In Ranger's original bid, they accidentally flipped the bid amount for Lucero and the bid amount for Calmoso. They later gave written confirmation that this was an error and submitted a new document with this corrected. However, when I drafted the contracts, I used the original bid sheet and therefore put the Lucero contract amount in the Calmoso contract and vice -versa. Staff asks that the attached amendments be approved to correct this error.

West, Public Works Director DATE: June 2, 2009 SUBJECT: Taylor Creek Restoration — Spoil Site Design and Permitting ITEM NO. VI-C8 Background: In 1998, the County initiated the Taylor Creek Dredging and Restoration Project, to remove the muck sediments from Taylor Creek. Removal of muck sediments from the tributaries to the Indian River Lagoon is a goal of the IRL National Estuary Program. In 1999, the County initiated a spoil site study, to select a location for the Taylor Creek Project. A total of 13 sites were evaluated for feasibility as potential dredge spoil disposal sites. The Port Property was determined to be the best location for a temporary spoil site, due to the fact that it was previously built out of dredged fill material. In September of 2003, Mr. Lloyd Bell granted the use of his Port Property as a temporary spoil site. In April 2004, the County commenced construction of Phase 1 of the Taylor Creek Dredging Project. A 16 acre spoil disposal site was constructed for handling the muck sediments. The Project was completed in June of 2005, and the spoil site was removed from Mr. Bell's property in April 2007. The Phase 1 Project resulted in the removal and disposal of 94,767 cubic yards of muck sediments. Phase 2 involves the dredging of Taylor Creek in the upstream reach between the railroad and the C25 spillway structure. This phase will require dredging of an additional 100,000 cubic yards of muck sediments. The attached Supplemental Joint Participation Agreement with Florida Department of Transportation will provide additional funding for the design and permitting of a new Spoil Site on the Ridgehaven Property at the St. Lucie County Airport. Previous Action March 16, 2004: Award of Construction Contract for Phase I Dredging of Taylor Creek in the amount of $2,485,820. October 24, 2006: BOCC action to relocate the spoil site on Mr. Bell's Port Property. March 27, 2007: Award of Construction Budget in the amount of $185,406.00 for removal of spoil site.

Gouin, DATE: June 2, 2009 County Administrat OMB Director Office of Management & Budget/Purchasing SUBJECT: Research & Education Park: Phase 1 Funding ITEM NO. VI-F Background: MEMORANDUM At the May 7, 2009 joint meeting of the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) and Treasure Coast Education, Research and Development Authority (TCERDA), staff was given direction to move forward on the development of the Research and Education Park using funds from the following sources: Rock Road Jail/Medical Wing Expansion — Project Reserve $2,285,866 Rock Road Jail/Medical Wing Expansion — Buildings $ 914,134 Native Tree Buffer Zone* $ 240,000 Road Impact Fees —Zone 1 * $ 220,000 Total $3,660,000 *Use of these funds is restricted; see explanation below The first step in construction of the infrastructure for the Research Park is conducting a number of studies of the site. It is anticipated that these studies will be less than $25,000 each and done under contract with a variety of local professional firms. Per TCERDA's Executive Director of the Research and Education Park the specific studies to be conducted include: 1. Programming and Site Feasibility Study to establish a building program for each of the two buildings that are proposed to occupy the initial site; 2. Roadway Corridor Alternative Study for engineering services to evaluate and study the alternative infrastructure components associated with the TCERDA Core Research Campus; 3. Stormwater Management Study to perform a preliminary drainage study to determine the stormwater best management practices that will satisfy the stormwater requirements; 4. Environmental Assessment Studies to evaluate potential environmental issues and determine strategies to achieve permit -ready status for future construction/building projects located on the subject property for a five-year period; 5. Wetland Jurisdictional Determination on the 162 acre site; and 6. Preliminary Wildlife Assessment to provide an assessment of potential protected species concerns and requirements on the project. As the specific studies listed above proceed, TCERDA will be issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for design services related to construction of the backbone infrastructure development. TCERDA is unable to utilize the County's continuing contracts for these services because the estimated construction cost of the infrastructure will exceed $1 million. Design and/or construction of any projects which will exceed this threshold must be specifically identified in the continuing contract documents. The Research Park development projects were not identified in the current continuing contracts which were put in place in FY 06-07. For the future, TCERDA has requested that they be able to secure their own continuing contracts. County staff is investigation the request to determine the feasibility of this proposal. It is important to note that the use of funds being transferred to TCERDA from two accounts is restricted. Funding from the Native Tree Buffer Zone ($240,000) can only be used for the purchase and/or installation of native trees at the Research Park. Likewise, funding from road impact fees ($220,000) can only be utilized for capital improvements consistent with the County's road impact fee ordinance. Finally, the Board directed staff to look into borrowing money to be paid back from the funds generated by the Florida Gaming Centers, Inc. Staff is conducting due diligence on this item and will include a discussion on the agenda for the June 4th Informal Meeting. Recommendation Board approval of budget amendment No. BA09-019 and authorization on behalf of Treasure Coast Education, Research and Development Authority (TCERDA) to advertise a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for design services related to the construction of backbone infrastructure at the Research Park.

DISTRICT: BOCC Commission District: #5 Commissioner Chris Craft ITEM NO.: VII-B Background: Draft Resolution 09-026, if adopted, grants the Petitioner, Sunset Beach Investments, LLC, a Georgia Limited Liability Company, a waiver from Comp Plan Policies 8.1.14.2 and 8.1.14.5 and Preliminary Planned Unit Development Site Plan approval for the project to be known as Sunset Beach PUD. The petition includes a request for an Amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas to change the Zoning from the HIRD-(Hutchinson Island Residential) Zoning District to the PUD (Planned Unit Development - Sunset Beach) Zoning District; however, that will not be effective until such time as the property owner petitions for Final Planned Unit Development Site Plan approval. The application was originally submitted on June 2, 2006. Staff has worked together with the applicant to achieve avoidance and mitigation of any negative impacts to the wetlands to the greatest extent possible. The site plan was originally designed for 70 lots configured in two rows. The site plan was then modified to reduce the proposed number of units to accommodate 54 lots that were 50 feet wide. Finally, the site plan was revised to provide for 44 lots that are now 40 feet wide in one row. Pursuant to Section 7.01.03.C, the Land Development Code allows for the area, yard, and height requirements to be determined at the time of Preliminary and Final Development Plan approval. The area of each lot is proposed as follows: Lot Area: 5,000 sq. ft. Front Yard: loft Side Yard: 5 ft Rear Yard: 45 ft Rear Building setback 25 ft* *from the Dune Preservation Zone Page 2 Petition: Sunset Beach PUD File: PUD-6-023 The improvements to be provided by this developer for the public benefit include eight culverts for Mosquito Control which are located at the extreme northwest property boundary line, along the north and south sides of Joe's Pond, and along the western boundary south of Joe's Pond. Further, one credit has been reserved from the Bear Point Mitigation Bank. A full discussion of the ways in which this application for Preliminary PUD Site Plan approval meets and exceeds the standards of review is included in the staff report that was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on page 3. Additionally, nine conditions of approval have been formulated to ensure compliance with the Land Development Code and to meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan Policies. Approval of this project is contingent upon a waiver being granted from the Comprehensive Plan Policies 8.1.14.2 and 8.1.14.5 to allow the applicant to impact wetlands. The primary access to the subject will create a direct impact on 0.67 acre of the Category 1 wetland. Additionally, the emergency vehicle turnaround and lift station will encroach into the required 50 foot buffer. The Environmental Resources Department has determined that the applicant has tried to achieve avoidance and minimization of any negative impacts to the greatest extent possible. However, approximately 4.9% of the wetlands will be impacted and therefore a waiver is required before the project can be approved. Previous Action: None by the BOCC. Recommendation: Board adoption of draft Resolution No. 09-026, granting approvals as outlined in the agenda memorandum for Sunset Beach-PUD.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMSSI)NERs ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA M PAULA A. LEWIS, CHAIR PUBLISH DATE: 0502*009 I move down the development review process. He feels this issue is solvable, but needs to be 2 addressed. 3 4 Mr. Murphy does not feel this ordinance was passed out to the practioners for comment and 5 input. His last question was why ERD determine whether or not parking is adequate within a 6 particulate project. He feels this should be left as a Growth Management function. 7 8 Mr. Murphy requested that the Planning & Zoning Commission send this ordinance back for a 9 redraft and additional input is considered from other departments and individuals. 10 11 Ms. Mott told the Commission she would review Mr. Murphy's requests and answered the 12 questions she felt were addressed in this ordinance. 13 14 Ms. Lueke stated it did not occur to staff to ask practioners for comments. She stated that as far 15 as staff is concerned this portion of the ordinance is not new. 16 17 Chairman Mundt closed the public hearing. 18 19 Mr. Lounds was concerned about the placement of foundation trees that are placed in right -of 20 ways of a development. Over time utilities would be affected by foundation tree placements in 21 the right -of way. 22 23 Mr. Culverhouse echoed Mr. Lounds concerns. 24 25 Mr. Satterlee stated that this issue should be considered as infrastructure, which over time would 26 have to be addressed. 27 28 Mr. Schrader suggested that "shade" (for the type of trees) be used throughout this ordinance. 29 30 Ms. Mott agreed. 31 32 Mrs. Hammer motioned to forward draft Ordinance 09-007 to the Board of County 33 Commissioners with included comments that were raised during the public hearing and by 34 the members of the Planning & Zoning Commission. 35 36 Mr. Reynolds seconded. 37 38 The motion carried unanimously. 39 40 41 D. Sunset Beach PUD: PUD 06-023 42 43 Petition of Sunset Beach Investments, LLC a Georgia Limited Liability 44 Company, requesting a Wavier from Comprehensive Plan Policies 8.1.14.2 45 and 8.1.14.5; and Preliminary Planned Unit Development Site Plan approval 46 for the project to be known as Sunset Beach PUD. 5 I Mr. Culverhouse disclosed that he received a phone call from a representative of the 2 applicant that lasted about three and one-half minutes. 3 4 Ms. Tetsworth, Growth Management Planning Manager explained to the commission that the 5 Petition of Sunset Beach Investments, LLC, a Georgia Limited Liability Company, a 44 unit 6 residential project on 29.15 acres of land located on the east side of State Road A -IA on South 7 Hutchinson Island. The project history has been a long one. The application was originally 8 submitted June 2, 2006, last DRC Meeting March 19, 2009 (staff only discussion), last DRC 9 Report Issued August 1, 2008, last ERD Report December 18, 2008, last Re -submittal of Site 10 Plans April 3, 2009. 11 12 Ms. Tetsworth stated this is a waiver from the Comprehensive Plan Policies 8.1.14.2 and 13 8.1.14.5 to allow the applicant to impact the wetlands. That typically only the BOCC authorizes 14 to grant this waiver (did not have to come before the Planning & Zoning Commission). 15 However, this is an iatrical part of how the site plan ended up the way that it is and could not 16 move forward with this project without the waiver and this is why we have to discuss it in this 17 manner. 18 19 Ms. Tetsworth explained this is a Preliminary Planned Unit Development Site Plan approval, an 20 Amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas to change the zoning from the HIRD- Hutchinson 21 Island Residential Zoning District to the PUD, Planned Unit Development Zoning District, that 22 will not be effective until such time as the property owner petitions for Final Planned Unit 23 Development Site Plan approval. 24 25 Ms. Tetsworth went on to explain in order for this application to be found in compliance with 26 the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code, certain waivers must be 27 granted by the Board of County Commissioners from the following provisions of the 28 Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.1.14.2 for 0.60 acres of direct impact in a Category 1 wetland to 29 allow the construction of an access roadway, and 0.07 acres of direct impact to allow for 30 mosquito control improvements; and, Policy 8.1.14.5 to allow the encroachment on 1.2 acres of 31 the required 50 foot upland buffer between the wetland and the residential development activity 32 to allow construction of an access roadway, lift station and pool parking. 33 34 Ms. Tetsworth continued stating exemplary aspects of the project are, common open space 35 provided equals 36.4% of the gross acreage of the site, whereas the Code requires 35%, 36 additional areas of wetlands and stormwater detention equal 13.3 acres, or 45.6% of the site, 37 proposed density equals 1.5 du/ac., whereas the allowable density would be 4 units/ac., 38 development areas will occupy only 18.18% of the site and are designed to limit the impacts on 39 the wetlands to the greatest extent possible, a focal point is provided in the cul-de-sac at the end 40 of Sea Pearl, the recreation area will include a swimming pool with restrooms for all residents to 41 use. Further exemplary aspects are detailed lighting plan illustrating bollard style lighting to 9 I reduce negative glare impacts on wildlife with additional restrictions on all exterior lighting on 2 homes and signage, enhanced landscaping for the dune crossover to encourage connectivity to 3 the beach in one location, additional enhanced landscaping materials within the buffer will be 4 provided, a Preserve Area Management Plan is provided for the perpetual maintenance of all 5 proposed conservation areas, conservation easement is required for the Dune Preservation Zone, 6 and Wetland Preserve Areas, one credit from the Bear Point Mitigation Bank has already been 7 reserved and the site design allows for all of the proposed lots to abut the dune preservation zone 8 and ultimately face the Atlantic Ocean. 9 10 Jennifer Evans, Environmental Resources explain to the Commission the environmental aspects 11 of this project. This site is a category one wetland due to the hydraulic connection it has to the 12 larger tidal wetland system of Hutchinson Island and the Indian River Lagoon. Per 13 Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.1.14.3 a category one wetland waiver that states preservation of 14 wetland precludes all reasonable economically viable use of the property and which applied 15 would result in a taking of the property and must be approved by the BOCC. Since the buildable 16 uplands on this site can only be accessed through the wetland if the impacts associated with the 17 access road it could be considered a taking. 18 19 Ms. Evans went on to explain the impacts. She also noted that the Home Owners Association 20 HOA) or Property Owners Association (POA) will maintain the preserve areas and anywhere of 21 void vegetation they will be required to replant which is in their Preserve Area Management 22 Plan. 23 24 Travis Walker, Weiss Handler spoke on behalf of the applicant. 25 26 Mrs. Hammer questioned the parking, the cookie cutter blocks of forty foot wide lots with 44 lots 27 jammed in and question the report submitted by Weiss Handler. 28 29 Mr. Walker stated through his work with staff the project has been greatly diminished in size and 30 impacts. 31 32 Cynthia Angelos stated that the report is old. 33 34 Mrs. Hammer questioned why they were getting old reports. 35 36 Ms. Tetsworth stated that some of the information that was received was submitted to the 37 commissioners as a courtesy because it was part of their original application back in 2006. 38 39 Chairman Mundt questioned if the City of Ft. Pierce has looked at this application. 40 7 I Ms. Tetsworth stated yes and that they do have an approval for the water and waste water will be 2 supplied by Fort Pierce Utility Authority. St. Lucie County will supply the reclaimed water. 3 4 Chairman Mundt. Mundt wants to make sure staff put in as a condition of approval that the HOA 5 or POA is responsible for the Persevere Area Management Plan, that the Kimley-Horn traffic 6 information from 2006 be updated and find out if part of the stimulus package can be used in the 7 beach restoration. 8 9 Chairman Mundt opened the public hearing. 10 11 Jeff Mitchell, Real Estate Agent and property owner on North Beach spoke in favor of the 12 project. 13 14 Chairman Mundt closed the public hearing. 15 16 Mr. Lounds emphasized the need to preserve the wetlands and dune lines. 17 18 Ms. Caron suggested alternative technologies such as green technologies. 19 20 Dune restoration will be done before the homes are built. 21 22 Ms. Morgan motioned that after considering the testimony presented during the public 23 hearing including staff comments the Local Planning Agency recommend that the St. Lucie 24 County Board of County Commissioners grant approval to the application for Preliminary 25 PUD Site Plan Approval for the development known as Sunset Beach subject to the 26 limiting conditions Ms. Morgan feels this project is a perfect fit and an asset to St. Lucie 27 County and commended the developer for all the hard work with working with staff and 28 staff with the developer. 29 30 Vice Chair Schrader seconded. 31 32 Roll Call 33 Mr. Culverhouse — yes 34 Mr. Lounds — yes 35 Mr. Reynolds — yes 36 Mr. O'Neil — yes 37 Ms. Hammer — no 38 Ms. Caron —yes 39 Vice Chair Schrader — yes 40 Ms. Morgan — yes 41 Chairman Mundt — yes 42 43 Motion passed 8-1 with Mrs. Hammer dissenting. 44 Agenda Request Item Number =_ D Meeting Date: April 16, 2009 Consent [ ] Regular [ ] Public Hearing [ X ] Leg.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 11.02.05.A of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the Chairman of the Development Review Committee recommends to the Growth Management Director that the application be approved with conditions, and that the Director hereby determine the application is certified to move forward in the development review process for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commissioners and subsequently by the Board of County Commissioners. STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.01.00 and 11.02.07, ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE In reviewing this application for proposed Preliminary PUD Site Plan approval, the Board of County Commissioners and the Planning & Zoning Commissioners shall consider the following: A. CONSISTENCY WITH LOCAL ORDINANCES AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The proposed building or use is consistent with the general purpose, goals, objectives, and standards of this Code [Land Development Code], the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, and the Code and Compiled Laws of St. Lucie County, and the proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provisions of this Code authorizing such use and any other requirement of the Code and Compiled Laws of St. Lucie County. The applicant, Sunset Beach Investments, LLC., is requesting that this Board approve a Preliminary PUD (Planned Unit Development) site plan fora 29.1-acre tract of land to be developed as the residential project to be known as the Sunset Beach PUD. St. Lucie County's Comprehensive Plan includes numerous policies that support the type of development proposed on the subject property. Some of these policies include: GOALS,OBJ ST. LUCIE COUNTY ECTIVES LAND USE ELEMENT AND GOAL, OBJECTIVE, AND POLICY POLICIES STATEMENTS STAFF ANALYSIS AND COMMENTS GOAL 1.1 ENSURE THE HIGHEST QUALITY LIVING The proposed Planned Unit Development ENVIRONMENT POSSIBLE, THROUGH A was determined to be consistent with this MIXTURE OF LAND USES REFLECTING THE April 16, 2009 Page 5 Objective 1.1.4 NEEDS AND DESIRES OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS AND HOW THEY WANT THEIR COMMUNITY TO DEVELOP. THE GOAL SHALL BE IMPLEMENTED BY STRICTLY ENFORCED BUILDING, ZONING AND - DEVELOPMENT CODES BASED ON OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES THAT WILL ENHANCE ST. LUCIE COUNTY'S NATURAL AND MAN-MADE RESOURCES WHILE MINIMIZING ANY DAMAGE OR THREAT OF DEGRADATION TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE COUNTY'S CITIZENS, NATIVE WILDLIFE AND ENVIRONMENT, THROUGH INCOMPATIBLE LAND USES. Require through the County's Land Development Regulations, specific performance criteria [(i.e., architectural, landscaping and separation standards, Transfer of Development Rights (TDR's)], that all new development be compatible with surrounding land uses, both existing and future as represented in this Element. Policy Require that new development be designed 1.1.4.2 and planned in a manner which does not place an unanticipated economic burden upon the services and facilities of St. Lucie County. Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD File: PUD-06-023 Goal based on the further determination that the proposed Preliminary PUD Site Plan complies with Section 7.01.00 of the Land Development Code. The primary purpose of the Planned Unit Development District, as laid out in the LDC, is that it is intended to achieve residential land development of superior quality through the encouragement of flexibility and creativity in design options that: A. permit creative approaches to the development of residential land reflecting changes in the technology of land development; B. allow for the efficient use of land, which can result in smaller networks of utilities and streets and thereby lower development costs; C. allow design options that encourage an environment of stable character, compatible with surrounding land uses; and D. permit the enhancement of neighborhoods through the preservation of natural features, the provision of underground utilities, and the provision of recreation areas and open space. The Sunset Beach PUD is consistent with this Comp Plan Policy. The proposed improvements, together with the enhanced landscaping and proposed buffering, will further the PUD requirements for exemplary site design which will provide natural screening from the adjacent properties to further compatibility of the residential uses. The Sunset Beach PUD property is located in the designated service area for the Ft. Pierce Utilities Authority department. The Department has provided verification that sufficient capacity is available to meet the water April 16, 2009 Page 6 Policy 1.1.4.3 Policy 2.3.4.2 Objective 7.1.4 Continue to encourage the use of cluster housing and planned unit development techniques to conserve open space and environmentally sensitive areas, through the County's Land Development Regulations which include: a. minimum acreage requirements necessary to support a viable mixed use community providing sufficient design flexibility to allow innovation and creativity in all forms of planned unit developments; b. minimum open space ratios of 35% in all planned unit developments and including within the PUD documents assurances that such areas will remain as open space to protect existing native habitat, to provide for minimum setback needs from adjacent uses, and to provide active and passive recreational as well as visual amenities. C. minimum open space standards; d. provisions ensuring the long term preservation of remaining open spaces.... Provide additional sidewalks, where necessary, to connect or complete either existing or proposed sidewalks in a manner that provides a complete pedestrian circulation system. Estuarine Water Quality. St. Lucie County shall strive to obtain or maintain water quality and trophic state index classifications of "good" for the Indian River Lagoon, Five Mile Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD File: PUD-06-023 and wastewater service demands of the project. Prior to the review of any request for Final PUD Site Plan approval on any portion of the Sunset Beach PUD, the developers will be required to have entered into a formal utility service agreement with the City regarding the provisions of these services. The Sunset Beach PUD is consistent with this Comp Plan Policy. The Sunset Beach PUD site totals 29.15 acres. Of that total, 10.6 acres (36.49/6) of the gross site area will be set aside as "common open space" (as defined by the County's codes), which exceeds the required minimum 35 % of open space for this site. The overall site design includes smaller lots in order to preserve and protect those areas for the re-created and restored dune preservation area on 7.9 acres. Additionally, the overall wetlands to be enhanced consist of 12.8 acres of lakes and reconstructed marsh systems; and 2 stormwater areas which total 0.50 acres. These areas occupy 45.6 % of the site. Therefore, only 18.78% of the total gross acres of the site will be built upon. It has been determined that the Sunset Beach PUD is consistent with this Comp Plan Policy. The Sunset Beach PUD is consistent with this Comp Plan Policy due to the fact that the proposed site design includes pedestrian trails which will provide beach access. The Sunset Beach PUD is consistent with this Comp Plan Policy because the stormwater management plan for the Sunset Beach PUD has been determined April 16, 2009 Page 7 Policy 7.1.5.5 Policy 8.1.14.2 Creek, Ten Mile Creek, and the North Fork of the St. Lucie River by 2000. The County shall enact appropriate regulations which provide for the maintenance or improvement of water quality. Access to the beach for new development will be confined to elevated walkways that protect dune systems, subject to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection approval. The County shall not permit development in a Category I or II wetland or any wetland buffer associated with these wetlands, except as follows: a) Clearing and /or constructing of walking trails; b) Construction of boardwalks/catwalks for direct access to water bodies; construction of wildlife management shelters, footbridges, observation desks and similar structures not requiring a dredge or fill for their placement; and c) Clearing and/or construction of electric/ cable utility, stormwater management, water or wastewater infrastructure as needed to provide public service that does not impair the long term viability of the wetland system. d) Alteration is permissible within Category I and II wetlands, and the required wetland buffer. as necessary for the above activities if: 1. No other reasonable alternative exists and avoidance cannot be achieved; Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD File: PUD-06-023 to improve the water quality that currently enters the St. Lucie River in the area. All the stormwater for the project will be controlled through the development of multiple sub -basins within the development, allowing for maximum water storage on site. All drainage from State Road A-1A will be incorporated into the stormwater management system for the project, improving the water quality of discharge into the St. Lucie River. The Sunset Beach PUD is consistent with this Comp Plan Policy because the design includes a dune cross over which will occupy approximately 0.1 acres of land and will provide access to the beach along the Atlantic Ocean shore line. The project is not consistent with these policies. The developers of this Planned Unit Development are requesting that the Board of County Commissioners grant a Waiver from this policy. Please refer to page 3 of this staff report for a more in-depth discussion the circumstances under which a waiver can be considered by the Board of County Commissioners. April 16, 2009 Page 8 Policy 8.1.14.3 2. Such activity is consistent with other policies of the Comprehensive Plan; 3. Such activity complies with the requirements of all Federal, State and Local agencies claiming jurisdiction over wetland alteration and adequate mitigation of any adverse hydrological and physical alterations is provided. 4. No more than 1 percent of any Category I wetland is impacted, except as noted in Policy 8.1.14.3; 5. No more than 15 percent of any Category II wetland is impacted, except as noted in Policy 8.1.14.3; 6. Appropriate mitigation is provided. In addition to the alteration provisions of Policy 8.1.14.3(c), alteration of a Category I or II wetland may be allowed when no other reasonable alternative exists and avoidance and minimization of impacts cannot otherwise be achieved. Any provision of this Comprehensive Plan or the land development code related to the preservation of a Category I or II wetland that precludes all reasonable economically viable use of the property or would prohibit a reasonable public use of the property and which if applied would result in a compensable taking of the property may be waived to the extent necessary to provide the minimum reasonable use, public or private, of the property. These provisions shall only be waived following the review and approval of the Board of County Commissioners, or their designee, in a manner set forth in the Land Development Code. The standards for the granting of any waiver shall be set forth in the Land Development Code and shall be consistent with the general standards and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD File: PUD-06-023 If this policy is implemented, it would result in a compensable taking of the property, to the extent necessary to provide minimum reasonable use, public or private, of the property. The road proposed to provide access to the project will directly impact 0.60 acres of a Category I wetland. The applicant has stated that due to the size of the wetland, impacts from the ingress -egress road are unavoidable. The wetland extends north and south across the property boundary. The roadway alignment was placed to minimize impacts to the wetlands. Through the Army Corps of Engineers avoidance and minimization process, the applicant has agreed to (a) provide wetland preservation land which will be dedicated to the County and the Cops by a Conservation Easement, and (b) remove exotics and provide native plantings. It has been the past practice and policy of the Growth Management Department to support the request for the Waiver which has been recently approved on neighboring applications for Pelican Reef and Hutchinson Sands which have similar circumstances. April 16, 2009 Page 9 Policy The County shall require a minimum 50-foot 8.1.14.5: buffer between Category I and II wetlands and new development activity in order to protect water quality, preserve natural functions, and preserve wildlife habitat. The buffer, as measured landward from the approved jurisdictional line, shall be maintained in a natural vegetative state and be free of exotic and nuisance species as defined by the Florida Pest Council. B. DENSITY Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD File: PUD-06-023 The project is not consistent with this policy. The developers of this Planned Unit Development are requesting that the Board of County Commissioners grant a Waiver from this policy. Please refer to page 3 of this staff report for a more in- depth discussion the circumstances under which a waiver can be considered by the Board of County Commissioners. Policy 1.1.1.1; which allows for residential development in the RU (Residential Urban) Future Land Use classification at a maximum of 4 du/acre. Section 7.01.03 (B) of the County's Land Development Code reads as follows: The maximum possible permitted density of a Planned Unit Development shall not exceed the density reflected in the Future Land Use Maps of the Comprehensive Plan. On North and South Hutchinson Island, the provisions of Section 3.01.03(AA) (7) shall govern. The proposed project has been submitted to the County with a gross density of 44 units, or 1.5 du/acre. This represents a reduction over what might otherwise be permitted by Code, and is therefore determined to be consistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code. C. EFFECT ON NEARBY PROPERTIES The proposed buildings or use will not have an undue adverse effect upon nearby property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, parking, utility facilities, and other matters affecting the public health, safety, and general welfare. The Sunset Beach PUD is characterized by a large wetland which extends north and south across the property boundary. The roadway alignment was placed to minimize impacts to the wetlands. Through the Army Corps of Engineers avoidance and minimization process, the applicant has agreed to (a) provide wetland preservation land which will be dedicated to the County and the Corps by a Conservation Easement, and (b) remove exotics and provide native plantings. Additionally, the applicant has committed to work with the Mosquito Control District and provide two (2) culvert installations and six (6) culvert re -connections to further enhance the public benefit of this development. Also, one credit from the Bear Point Mitigation Bank has been reserved for the project which will further advance the opportunity for greater public health, safety and general welfare of nearby properties. 2. All reasonable steps have been taken to minimize any adverse effect of the proposed buildings or use on the immediate vicinity through building design, site design, landscaping, and screening. The Preliminary Planned Unit Development Site Plan indicates that the development area for the April 16, 2009 Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD Page 10 File: PUD-06-023 single family lots will occupy 18.18% of the site. The access road for ingress and egress to the site has been designed to limit the impacts on the wetlands to the greatest extent possible. The road proposed to provide access to the project will directly impact 0.60 acres of a Category I wetland. The applicant has stated that due to the size of the wetland, impacts from the ingress -egress road are unavoidable. Enhanced landscaping and a Preserve Area Maintenance Plan will further the intent of the Environmental Resources Department to minimize potential negative impacts on the surrounding environment and ultimately the neighborhood. 3. The proposed buildings or use will be constructed, arranged, and operated so as not to interfere with the development and use of neighboring property, in accordance with applicable district regulations. The proposed development of this site as a Planned Unit Development is consistent with the existing and proposed uses within the area. Bordering the project site to the north is vacant land with the Hutchinson Sands Development beyond. To the south of the subject site is the Anthem PUD. To the east of the project site is the Atlantic Ocean. To the west of the project site is the St. Lucie River Middle Cove. The proposed improvements, together with the enhanced landscaping and proposed buffering, will further the PUD requirements for exemplary site design which will provide natural screening from the adjacent properties to further compatibility of the residential uses. D. ADEQUACY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES The proposed building or use complies with the standards of Chapter V, Adequate Public Facilities. The plans for this project indicate full compliance with the County's minimum Level of Service standards for on -site drainage retention. The developer will comply with County and State Department of Environmental Protection Standards. Where any construction does take place between the 1978 and 1988 Coastal Construction Control lines, all such construction will be in accord with applicable county, state and federal regulations governing flood plain management. The traffic analysis indicates that all roadways within the study area will continue to operate at their existing Level of Service standard. No segment within the project study area is expected to drop in LOS as a result of this project. The traffic analysis did suggest a necessary roadway improvement with relation to the proposed project: • The construction of both left and right turn lanes at the project entrance. The Road and Bridge Manager has reviewed the report and determined that it meets the County's requirements and that the project will not cause roadways in the area to fall below accepted Levels of Service. This determination is based on a maximum of 44 residential units. The Fort Pierce Utilities Authority has issued an approval to provide water for the Preliminary PUD site plan. The approval is conditioned on the requirement that a full set of utility plans be submitted to FPUA for review. Wastewater and reclaimed water are to be provided by St. Lucie County Utilities. E. ADEQUACY OF FIRE PROTECTION The applicant has obtained from the St. Lucie County - Fort Pierce Bureau of Fire Prevention written confirmation, or has otherwise demonstrated by substantial credible evidence, that water supply, April 16, 2009 Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD Page 11 File: PUD-06-023 evacuation facilities, and emergency access are satisfactory to provide adequate fire protection. The applicants have addressed the concerns of the St. Lucie County Fire District with regards to Fire Station Location and facility needs. The fire district has indicated that they are not interested in locating a station at this development location. The developers and the Fire District have entered into an agreement in which the developer shall pay the required Fire Impact Fees. The turning radius at the north end of Joe's Pond Street has been modified to accommodate the requirements of the Fire District. F. ADEQUACY OF SCHOOL FACILITIES The proposed building or use will be served by adequate school facilities. The Sunset Beach PUD will be served by adequate school facilities. A 44 unit single-family subdivision is expected to generate a possible 15.84 (.36 students per unit) new students. The Sunset Beach PUD is located in School Choice Zone 1. Student assignments from this community will be made consistent with applicable St. Lucie County Board of Education standards and regulations. The Sunset Beach PUD will be subject to the County's Educational Impact Fee Ordinance. G. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The applicants, Sunset Beach Investments, LLC., have submitted an environmental impact report for the development of the Sunset Beach community. Based on the review of this report by the Environmental Resources Department Staff, the following comments are included in the Sunset Beach ERD Final Report and the required Conditions of Approval are included in the draft Resolution Number 09-026. Site Description: This 29.15 acre site is characterized by the following habitat types: 13.4 acres of mangrove swamp (approximately 46% of the total site), 4.4 acres of beach (approximately 15% of the total site), 11.2 acres Australian Pine (approximately 38% of the total site), and 0.1 acres of disturbed areas (less than 1 % of the total site). Endangered Species: The Florida Fish and Wildlife Service correspondence noted the following threatened and endangered species may be affected by the proposed development: Eastern Indigo Snake, Wood stork, Southeastern Beach Mouse, Green Sea Turtle, Loggerhead Sea Turtle, and Leatherback Sea Turtle. Additionally, the wetland may serve as habitat to migratory birds covered under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Species -specific management plans and guidelines for each of these species have been requested by this agency and will be required within their issued permit. If federal or state agency compliance requires modification to the development plans, a condition of approval has been included that the applicant will promptly modify the plans and submit to SLC for review and approval as required by the LDC. A Sea Turtle Protection Plan including guidelines for protection of listed sea turtle species consistent with SLC LDC 6.04.02 has been provided. Additionally, ERD will perform a night-time lighting inspection to ensure these protection measures are met prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Proposed Impacts and Development: Through the DRC process, the proposed development has been reduced from an original April 16, 2009 Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD Page 12 File: PUD-06-023 plan of 54 lots in a double row configuration impacting 2.89 acres of wetland, to 44 lots in a single row impacting 0.6 acres of wetland as shown on the included site plan. Wetlands: The proposed development would result in a total impact of 0.6 acres of Category I mangrove wetlands. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has issued a permit with conditions for the proposed site plan and associated wetland impacts. The required 50-foot wetland buffer has not been provided. Instead an average width of 30 feet of upland buffer is proposed, with width ranging from 0-50 feet. Impacts to the buffer include the proposed access road, lift station, and pool with associated parking. The majority of wetland impacts would be a result of the access road required to reach the buildable uplands onsite. This access road has been designed as a bulkhead in order to reduced wetland impacts by reducing the required width for stabilization. A hydrologic connection is also proposed beneath the access road to maintain natural flow between the preserved wetlands and Joe's Pond. In order to mitigate all impacts associated with the proposed development, the applicant is proposing the following three -fold mitigation plan: • Creation of onsite hydrologic improvements to enhance the quality of the wetlands onsite; • Exotic re mova Vrestorative plantings of preserved wetland and associated buffer, and • Purchase of 1 credit at Bear Point Mitigation Bank. The hydrologic improvements include the connection of existing culverts under AlA north and south of Joe's Pond to the preserved onsite wetlands. Culverts will also be installed under the north and south berms adjacent to Joe's Pond. To further improve flushing, the applicant has also agreed to fund a pump that will be operated and maintained by St Lucie County Mosquito and Control District. Should Board of County Commissioners choose to approve this PUD, a waiver per Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.1.14.3 will also be required to allow the proposed impacts to the Category I wetland buffer required per Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.1.14.2 and 8.1.14.5 that will result from the proposed access road, lift station, and pool with associated parking. Beach Dune Ecosystems: The applicant is proposing 3.7 acres of dune restoration through removal of exotics and replanting of native dune vegetation. All dune restoration activities shall be performed consistent with the FDEP approved Dune Restoration Plan. One dune crossover is proposed, which will also require Florida Department of Environmental Protection approval. Detailed plans of this crossover will be provided to St Lucie County ERD for review. Additionally, a permitfrom Florida Department of Environmental Protection will be required for development seaward of the 1988 Coastal Construction Control Line. Landscaping: A landscape plan consistent with Land Development Code Section 7.09.04 has been provided. This plan proposes 1 tree per every 2500 square feet on each lot, as well as upland buffer plantings between the proposed roadway and wetland where feasible. Additionally, the plan depicts exotic removal and native plantings along the western buffer of Al A. Maintenance and Conservation Documents: A Preserve Area Management Plan is provided for the perpetual maintenance of all April 16, 2009 Page 13 Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD File: PUD-06-023 proposed conservation areas. As requested by the BOCC in similar oceanfront developments, a provision has been included for a Dune Fund, established by the POA, in order to maintain adequate funding for repair of any future overwashes of the dune system. Additionally, an executed conservation easement for all preserve areas has been made a condition of approval. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: Per SLC Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.1.14.3, the applicant must receive approval from the Board of County Commissioners for a waiver of the 50' buffer required adjacent to Category I wetlands. The applicant site plan proposes an average 30' buffer, ranging in width from 50' to 0 feet.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT The applicant, Sunset Beach Investments. LLC, is requesting Preliminary PUD (Planned Unit Development) Site Plan approval for the entire 29.15-acre tract of land to be developed as the Sunset Beach PUD. The proposed change in zoning has been determined to not be in conflict with any applicable provision of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code. According to Section 7.01.01 of the LDC, the purpose of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district is to achieve residential land development of superior quality through the encouragement of flexibility and creativity in design options that: A. Permit creative approaches to the development of residential land reflecting changes in the technology of land development; The applicant's proposed design includes a residential project with 44 residential units. The 44 residential units are proposed to be broken down as follows: Unit Type Number of Units I Price Range Single family 44 1 $350,000 - $1,000,000 The proposed site layout includes, as a major component of the projects overall design, a dune cross -over to provide access to the public beach. The site design integrates "Joe's Pond" within the north-western quadrant that will be maintained by the Sunset Beach Property Owners Association. The applicant shall provide written authorization from FDEP Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Division for construction seaward of the Coastal Construction Line per St. Lucie Comprehensive Plan Policy 7.1.5.1. The applicant shall provide copies of all final permits for wetland impacts from jurisdictional agencies pursuant to St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.1.4.5. Additionally, the applicant shall provide a Preserve Area Management and Monitoring Plan (PAMP) approved by the St. Lucie County Environmental Resource Department (ERD). As part of the site plan package, the applicant is proposing to enhance the Landscape Plan for the project by providing April 16, 2009 Page 15 Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD File: PUD-06-023 streetscaping, landscaping, signage and signage features and accent lighting. B. Allow for the efficient use of land, which can result in smaller networks of utilities and streets and thereby lower development costs; The project is designed with a spine roadway network system internally connecting the entire project. There is only one main access point on to State Road A-1 A. Ft. Pierce Utilities Authority will be providing water and sewer to the subject property. The applicant has provided verification from the County that sufficient capacity is available to meet the demands of this project. The applicant as part of the infrastructure improvements will be required to extend the water and sewer lines into the subject site. C. Allow design options that encourage an environment of stable character, compatible with surrounding land uses; and, The neighboring developments to the north and south of the subject are residential in nature. The Hutchinson Sands Development is comprised of seven high rise buildings to the north. Anthem PUD is a residential neighborhood nearby to the south. The site design of Sunset Beach PUD incorporates single family residences of similar style and price range and allows for all of the proposed lots to abut the dune preservation zone and ultimately face the Atlantic Ocean. The proposed improvements are generally consistent with the other recent approvals in the immediate vicinity and will serve to further compatibility with the other proposed and existing developments. D. Permit the enhancement of neighborhoods through the preservation of natural features, the provision of underground utilities and the provision of recreation and open space. Overall, the applicant's proposed design reflects a project that incorporates the existing environmental features and remaining native vegetation into the site design. A swimming pool with restrooms will be provided for residents in addition to the natural resource of approximately 1,800 lineal feet of beach frontage. There will be one dune cross over provided for the use of the residents. Of the 29.15 acre site, 10.6 acres (36.4%) is designated as "common open space" (36.4%) which includes 3.4 acres of common area east of the dunes, 0.8 acres west of the dune and 3.7 acres for dune restoration. The dune cross over will occupy approximately 0.1 acres of land and will provide access to the beach along the Atlantic Ocean shore line. Other areas to remain open and in their natural state are 12.8 acres of wetlands. There are 2 stormwater areas for a total of 0.5 acres. Both of these open areas account for 45.60% of the site. 1. SUMMARY COMMENTS The application for Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) site plan approval has been reviewed by the Development Review Committee of St. Lucie County for consistency with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan as well as compliance with the provisions of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code. It has been determined to meet or exceed all applicable standards of review, provided certain conditions of approval are met. The Environmental Resources Department has attached the Companion Report. In addition, the ERD Memorandum dated December 19, 2008 has been attached which includes the conditions of approval for this project. April 16, 2009 Petition: Sunset Beach, PUD Page 16 File: PUD-06-023 Staff has determined that the requested Preliminary Planned Unit Development Plan for the Sunset Beach PUD is compatible with the existing and proposed uses in the area. This petition, as proposed and subject to the recommended conditions of approval, meets and exceeds the standards of review asset forth in Section 11.02.07, as well as 7.01.00 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code. Further, if the requested Waivers are granted, subject to the recommended conditions of approval, the proposed PUD is not in conflict with the goals, objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. Attached is a copy of draft Resolution No. 09-026, which would grant approval of the petition of Sunset Beach Investments, LLC, for a Waiver from the Comprehensive Plan Policies 8.1.14.2 and 8.1.14.5; and, Preliminary Planned Unit Development Site Plan approval for the project to be known as Sunset Beach PUD, subject to the limiting conditions.

ERDINPUT ERD input has been provided in the attached staff report and supporting materials, ERD RECOMMENDATION If the Board of County Commissioners should grant the required wetland and buffer variance, ERD supports Growth Management's recommendation of approval with conditions as outlined in the resolution.. i nature - .J ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Kristin Tetsworth, DRC Planner FROM: Jennifer Evans, Environmental Planning Coordinator-TVC DATE: December 19, 2008 RE: Sunset Beach PUD Final Report Site Description: This 29.15 acre site is characterized by the following habitat types: 13.4 acres of mangrove swamp (approximately 46% of the total site), 4.4 acres of beach (approximately 15% of the total site), 11.2 acres Australian Pine (approximately 38% of the total site), and 0.1 acres of disturbed areas (less than 1% of the total site). Endangered Species: The Florida Fish and Wildlife Service correspondence noted the following threatened and endangered species may be affected by the proposed development: Eastern Indigo Snake, Wood stork, Southeastern Beach Mouse, Green Sea Turtle, Loggerhead Sea Turtle, and Leatherback Sea Turtle. Additionally, the wetland may serve as habitat to migratory birds covered under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Species - specific management plans and guidelines for each of these species have been requested by this agency and will be required within their issued permit. If federal or state agency compliance requires modification to the development plans, a condition of approval has been included that the applicant will promptly modify the plans and submit to SLC for review and approval as required by the LDC. A Sea Turtle Protection Plan including guidelines for protection of listed sea turtle species consistent with SLC LDC 6.04.02 has been provided. Additionally, ERD will perform a night-time lighting inspection to ensure these protection measures are met prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Proposed Impacts and Development: Through the DRC process, the proposed development has been reduced from an original plan of 54 lots in a double row configuration impacting 2.89 acres of wetland, to 44 lots in a single row impacting 0.6 acres of wetland as shown on the included site plan. Wetlands: The proposed development would result in a total impact of 0.6 acres of Category I mangrove wetlands. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has issued a permit with conditions for the proposed site plan and associated wetland impacts. The required 50-foot wetland buffer has not been provided. Instead an average width of 30 feet of upland buffer is proposed, with width ranging from 0-50 feet. Impacts to the buffer include the proposed access road, lift station, and pool with associated parking. The majority of wetland impacts would be a result of the access road required to reach the buildable uplands onsite. This access road has been designed as a bulkhead in order to reduced wetland impacts by reducing the required width for stabilization. A hydrologic connection is also proposed beneath the access road to maintain natural flow between the preserved wetlands and Joe's Pond. In order to mitigate all impacts associated with the proposed development, the applicant is proposing the following three -fold mitigation plan: • Creation of onsite hydrologic improvements to enhance the quality of the wetlands onsite; • Exotic removal/restorative plantings of preserved wetland and associated buffer, and • Purchase of 1 credit at Bear Point Mitigation Bank. The hydrologic improvements include the connection of existing culverts under A I A north and south of Joe's Pond to the preserved onsite wetlands. Culverts will also be installed under the north and south berms adjacent to Joe's Pond. To further improve flushing, the applicant has also agreed to fund a pump that will be operated and maintained by St Lucie County Mosquito and Control District. Should Board of County Commissioners choose to approve this PUD, a waiver per Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.1.14.3 will also be required to allow the proposed impacts to the Category I wetland buffer required per Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.1.14.2 and 8.1.14.5 that will result from the proposed access road, lift station, and pool with associated parking. Beach Dune Ecosystems: The applicant is proposing 3.7 acres of dune restoration through removal of exotics and replanting of native dune vegetation. All dune restoration activities shall be performed consistent with the FDEP approved Dune Restoration Plan. One dune crossover is proposed, which will also require Florida Department of Environmental Protection approval. Detailed plans of this crossover will be provided to St Lucie County ERD for review. Additionally, a permit from Florida Department of Environmental Protection will be required for development seaward of the 1988 Coastal Construction Control Line. Landscaping: A landscape plan consistent with Land Development Code Section 7.09.04 has been provided. This plan proposes 1 tree per every 2500 square feet on each lot, as well as upland buffer plantings between the proposed roadway and wetland where feasible. Additionally, the plan depicts exotic removal and native plantings along the western buffer of AIA. Maintenance and Conservation Documents: A Preserve Area Management Plan is provided for the perpetual maintenance of all proposed conservation areas. As requested by the BOCC in similar oceanfront developments, a provision has been included for a Dune Fund, established by the POA, in order to maintain adequate funding for repair of any future overwashes of the dune system. Additionally, an executed conservation easement for all preserve areas has been made a condition of approval. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: Per SLC Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.1.14.3, the applicant must receive approval from the Board of County Commissioners for a waiver of the 50' buffer required adjacent to Category I wetlands. The applicant site plan proposes an average 30' buffer, ranging in width from 50' to 0 feet.

Future Land Use Classification: RU 9. I (we) do hereby petition they for the following Variance from the St. Lucie County Land Development Code. (State the variance sought and the section from the St. Lucie County Land Development Code from which the variance is requested.) Section 6.02.02 c ( 1 ) minimum buffer requirement, 50 ' from Indian River Lagoon. 10. What is the purpose of the proposed variance and the intended development of the subject property if the variance is granted: The variance allows for the use of upland berm to minimize wetland impacts as requested by the County environmental staff. Additionally, for lots that are adjacent to wetlands, a bulkhead will be constructed to minimize fill impacts. 11. What is the specific hardship imposed on the owner by the ordinance? The buffer forces an increase in wetland impacts. Utilizing the onsite berm for access minimizes wetland impacts. The owner wants to minimize wetland impacts, as required by State and Federal rules. 12. State reasons why this hardship is unique to the owner and why other property similarly situated does not suffer from the same hardship. The buffer variance is unique to properties along Al due to the presence of mosquito impoundment east & west of A1A. 13. State reasons why this variance will not be injurious to other property and/or improvements in the neighborhood in which the subject property is located. These variances will not affect other property and/or improvements in the neighborhood. 14. State reasons why this variance will not increase traffic, the danger of fire, or impair property values in the neighborhood in which the subject property is located. These variances are not related to traffic or danger of fire. Property values will not be impaired by minimizing 'onsite wetlands impact. 15. State why this variance is the minimum that will make possible a reasonable use of the land, building and structures. This variance is requested to minimize wetland impacts, which was a request of the County environmental staff. 16. Explain how this proposed variance is consistent with the general spirit of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. 'A variance from the 50' buffer will minimize wetland impacts onsite and was a suggestion of County Environmental staff. 17. Please attach a diagram of the property showing the dimensions of the lot and all other dimensions necessary to understand this application. 18. I (we) have been furnished a list of the questions to be answered by the applicant for a variance and will be prepared to answer these questions on my (our) behalf at the public hearing.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/ LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA /S/CRAIG MUNDT, CHAIRMAN PUBLISH DATE: 04/03/09 CM ❑ Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. SUNSET BEACH PUD SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Prepared for: Sunset Beach Investments, LLC 207 Carson's Creek Drive Dawsonville, GA 30534 041124000 May 2006 ©Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. CA Number 00000696 10521 SW Village Center Drive Suite 103 Port St. Lucie, Florida 34987 772/345-3800 TEL 772/286-0138FAX Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report General Description The site is located on South Hutchinson Island, 1,700 feet north of the Middle Cove Beach access and consists of a total of 29.1 acres. The site will be accessed from State Road AIA which also divides the site longitudinally. The site is bound by the Indian River Lagoon on the west and the Atlantic Ocean on the east. 1. Describe the reason for the requested change in zoning. It is requested that the site be rezoned from Hutchinson Island Residential District (BIRD) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as this classification provides for alternative site designs which can maximize protection of environmentally sensitive lands. A PUD achieves residential land development of superior quality through the encouragement of flexibility and creativity in design options that: A. permit creative approaches to the development of residential land reflecting changes in the technology of land development; B. allow for the efficient use of land, which can result in smaller networks of utilities and streets and thereby lower development costs; C. allow design options that encourage an environment of stable character, compatible with surrounding land uses; and D. permit the enhancement of neighborhoods through the preservation of natural features, the provision of underground utilities, and the provision of recreation areas and open space. There are certain limitations imposed by the shape, size, and the environmental conditions of the site. The lot size and width requirements of an BIRD designation would significantly reduce the number of single-family lots that could be developed on the site, significantly impacting the financially viability of the project. Rezoning the site to a PUD designation will allow for an increased number of lots, though smaller in size, making the project financially feasible. Please note, this request does not change the density allowed by the current zoning and land use. Additionally, this infill project utilizes existing infrastructure, thereby maximizing the use of available public facilities. This project improves the existing natural resources by implementing the following mitigation. The applicant has met with St. Lucie County Environmental Resources Division and Mr. Jim David of the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District. Based on suggestions from environmental staff and Mr. David, the applicant is proposing to conduct onsite mitigation, which includes the following: • Connecting the existing wetland north of the saltwater basin (mosquito impoundments) via culvert to the saltwater basin to increase flushing and water quality in the existing onsite wetland; • Funding a pump station and culvert installation beneath AlA that will be utilized by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control to manage the impoundment south of the saltwater basin. The pump will greatly improve flushing in the wetland onsite as well as downstream (south) wetlands. Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report • Per St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District's request, coordinating the installation of a culvert under AlA north of the saltwater basin and permitting the associated wetland impacts. This culvert will enhance flushing in onsite and offsite wetlands. • Removal of all exotic vegetation onsite; • Scraping and removal of exotic invasive vegetation in the wetlands adjacent to AlA to the west to create a continuous wetland to the existing mosquito impoundments; and • Scraping and removal of exotic invasive vegetation on the uplands adjacent to AlA to the east to create a continuous native upland buffer to the existing saltwater basin. Based upon the Unified Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM), the abovementioned onsite mitigation completely offsets wetland impacts; however, the applicant is proposing to buy up to 1 credit (1.0 acre) from the Bear Point Mitigation Bank in St. Lucie County. The proposed mitigation will create a net increase of wetlands in St. Lucie County. Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report 2. Is the proposed rezoning in confect with any portion of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code or the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan? CONSISTENCY WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE According to the Land Development Code (LDC), the purpose of the HIRD designation is to provide a residential environment on North and South Hutchinson Island that is respectful of the natural resources and value of the barrier islands and can be supported by available public and private services. BIRD is intended to ensure that the intensity, location, and timing of new residential growth and development is of a character that can be served by adequate public and private facilities, and that protects, preserves and enhances the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens. HIRD is intended to facilitate growth and development of the barrier islands while conserving the natural and human values the islands represent. The LDC specifically restricts the rezoning of HIRD classified lands to a specific list of zoning classifications that still achieve the goals of the Hutchinson Island Ordinance; this list includes the requested PUD classification. The site is designed with utmost consideration to the environmentally sensitive nature of barrier islands and is designed to ensure that development is clustered away from environmentally sensitive lands and is limited to the more tolerant upland portions of the site. The site is also designed to be consistent with the height and density requirements for the area. The site plan is consistent with the traffic and circulation requirements of the PUD in that every dwelling unit in the Planned Unit Development has access to a public street either directly or through a private road, a pedestrian way, or other area dedicated to public or private use. The proposed site plan is also consistent with the landscaping and open space requirements of the PUD. Native trees and sensitive environmental vegetation will be preserved to the extent practicable. Also according to the LDC a minimum of 35% of the gross area of land to be committed to a PUD must be for use as common open space. A minimum of 15% of any existing native upland habitat on the property must be preserved in its natural condition as part of the required 35% common open space. The proposed site plan fulfills all these requirements, except for the native upland preservation which is not possible since native upland vegetation is not present on the site. Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN This request is consistent with the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan, key objectives and policies have been reproduced below. The requested PUD zoning is consistent with the RU land use classification and with the policies regarding development on Hutchinson Island. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Goal L I Ensure the highest quality living environment possible, through a mixture of land uses reflecting the needs and desires of the local residents and how they want their community to develop. The goal shall be implemented by strictly enforced building, zoning and development codes based on objectives and policies that will enhance St. Lucie County's natural and man-made resources while minimizing any damage or threat of degradation to the health, safety an welfare of the County's citizens, native wildlife and environment, through incompatible land uses. Policy 1.1.4.2 Require that new development be designed and planned in a manner which does not place an anticipated economic burden upon the service and facilities of St. Lucie County. Policy 1.1.4.3 Continue to encourage the use of cluster housing and planned unit development techniques to conserve open space and environmentally sensitive areas, through the County's Land Development Regulations which include: a. Minimum acreage requirements necessary to support a viable mixed use community providing sufficient design flexibility to allow innovation and creativity in all forms of planned unit developments; b. Minimum open space ratios of 35% in all planned unit developments and including within the PUD documents assurances that such areas will remain as open space to protect existing native habitat, to provide for minimum setback needs from adjacent uses, and to provide active and passive recreational as well as visual amenities; c. Minimum open space standards; d. Provisions ensuring the long term preservation of remaining open spaces; e. A mixed use district combining residential, commercial, recreational, educational, and other income producing uses providing significant functional and physical integration among uses; f. Minimum standards for the provision of on -site shopping, job opportunities and internal trip capture; and g. Specific requirements to provide efficient, centralized infrastructure (potable water and sanitary sewer). Include specific restrictions on the use of septic tanks, individual wells, and package plants in planned unit developments. Policy 1.1.4.4 Calculate gross residential density on lands that lie above the mean high water elevation and provide for the ability to transfer/cluster residential densityfrom wetland and other sensitive or unique environmental habitats to upland areas on contiguous properly. Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report Objective 1.1.5 In coordination with the other elements of this plan, future development within the Urban Service Area shall be directed to areas where urban and community services/facilities can be provided in the most efficient and compact manner so as to discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl. Objective 1.1.7 Future development and redevelopment activities shall be directed to those areas depicted with urban land use designations on the Future Land Use Map and are to be consistent with sound planning principles contained in the goals, objectives, and policies of this plan. Policy 1.1.7.1 Continue to support and encourage innovative land use development patterns through adequate provision in the County's Land Development Regulations including Planned Unit Developments (PUD), Planned Non -Residential Development (PNRD) and the Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) zoning designations. Policy 1.1.8.1 All new subdivisions, planned unit developments and site development plans shall be designed to include an efficient system of internal traffic circulations that does not require internal trips or trips of short duration to be force onto the major roadway network. Policy 1.1.8.2 All new subdivisions shall be designed so that all individual lots have direct access to the internal street system, and that any lot or property along the periphery of the development is to e buffered from any major roadway and incompatible land uses. Objective 1.1.9 Through enforcement of Chapter 6.00.00 of the Count's Land Development Code support criteria and standards for the protection creation of native plant communities within the County. For the purpose of this plan, Native Plant Communities shall be preserved as defined in the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council's Policy Plan, Regional Policy 10.1.2.2, ".....preserved in viable condition with intact ground cover, understory and canopy. " Policy 1.1.9.1 St. Lucie County shall include within its Land Development Regulations criteria and standards for the protection and preservation of both wetland and upland habitat. The criteria to be included within the County's Land Development Regulations shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following: a) Size of the property on which the development activity is to take place; b) The type quality and sensitivity of the native habitat including nesting and foraging locations found on site; c) Methodologies to be employed in protecting and preserving native habitat; d) The presence or occurrence of endangered or threatened species on site and methodologies to be employed to ensure their continuing presence on site or mitigation; Policy 1.1.9.4 Enforce Section 7.09.00 of the land development regulations to provide that existing on -site native upland habitat be incorporated into required site plans as a part of open space areas, required Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report landscaping or as a part of minimum yard areas so that as much of the identified habitat as is practicable is maintained.

Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report 3. How is the proposed change in zoning compatible with the existing uses in the area? The Indian River Lagoon is located to the west of the site and the Atlantic Ocean is located to the east. There is a residential development approximately 1,500 feet to the south of the site that contains oceanfront single-family residential development. The property immediately north of the site is currently in the County site plan approval process for a condominium development. The proposed change in zoning from HIRD to PUD is consistent with the character of development on South Hutchinson Island. It still maintains the residential character envisioned for the area by the Comprehensive Plan and the Hutchinson Island Ordinance. The proposed PUD rezoning will contribute to a high quality residential development that is respectful of the environmental resources of the area. 4. How is the proposed change in zoning compatible with the Land Use designation on this property? The existing and the future land use category of the site is Residential Urban (RU). This residential land use category provides for a maximum density of 5 dwelling units per gross acre. According to the Comprehensive Plan, new developments in the RU areas can occur using traditional single-family or multi -family zoning designations or through the Planned Unit Development process. Additionally, Table 1-3 Land Use Designation/Zoning Compatibility Matrix of the Comprehensive Plan indicates compatibility between the PUD zoning and the RU land use categories. The rezoning of the site to a PUD designation will still be compatible with the high quality oceanfront residential development envisioned for this area discussed in the Comprehensive Plan. The site is proposed to be developed as a single-family residential community consistent with land use regulations and the development character of South Hutchinson Island (See attached site plan). The site plan is consistent with the philosophies and policies for the Residential Urban area. It is also in conformance to the density regulations of the area and the requirements for Coastal High Hazard Areas. A variance from the 50' buffer from the onsite saltwater basin that is connected to the IRC is requested in order to minimize wetland impacts onsite. Utilizing the upland berm on the south side of the saltwater basin, as suggested by County Staff, minimizes wetland impacts. Due to the geometry of the site and the percentage of the site containing wetlands (40%), wetland impacts will be unavoidable. Wetland impacts have been minimized to the extent practicable. Mitigation is proposed to offset the loss of 2.9 acres of mosquito impoundment. Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report 5. What conditions have changed in the immediate area that warrants consideration of this change in zoning? Due to certain limitations imposed by the shape, size, and the environmental conditions of the site, the lot size and width requirements of an H1RD designation would significantly reduce the number of single-family lots that could be developed on the site. Rezoning the site to a PUD designation will allow for an increased number of lots, thus making the project financially feasible. Also, rezoning to PUD allows flexibility in the site plan that reduces the restrictions and allows for the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative (LEDPA) to be developed onsite. 6. What are the anticipated impacts of the proposed rezoning on the existing and future public facilities in this area? There are no adverse impacts anticipated on the existing and future public facilities in this area resulting from the proposed rezoning of the site. Water Supply The site will be served by the Ft. Pierce Utilities Authority, which has the capacity to supply the proposed development. Traffic KHA prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis for the project in November 2005. A link capacity analysis was undertaken for each link considering its total traffic volume and the roadway laneage to be in place in 2008. Total traffic is defined as the sum of existing historic growth, committed projects and Sunset Beach project traffic. The level of service capacity for each roadway link is defined by the capacities published in the Florida Department of Transportation's 2002 Quality/Level of Service Handbook. In accordance with St. Lucie County standards, roadways were evaluated using the criteria of Level of Service D for daily conditions, and Level of Service E for peak hour directional conditions. Based on this analysis, no links are expected to fail to meet the link level of service standard for daily or peak hour directional conditions through 2008. The proposed site plan envisions one full -access driveway. Based on the expected distribution of traffic to and from the site, traffic volumes were projected for each driveway at the site. Based upon a driveway pre -application meeting with FDOT, a right turn on SR AlA for ingress traffic to the site will be required to be constructed. The traffic analysis shows that all roadways within the study area are expected to operate at an acceptable level of service through 2008. Natural Disaster Based on KHA's traffic study, roadways within the study area are expected to operate at an acceptable level of service; therefore, it is unlikely that the proposed development would substantially delay evacuation times as a result of this rezoning. A slight increase in traffic on AIA will result from the project. 10 Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report 7. What are the anticipated environmental impacts of the proposed rezoning? If no adverse impacts are anticipated, please explain why? Due to the site configuration, wetland impacts are unavoidable with the HM or the PUD zoning. The proposed site development plan is very sensitive to the environmental characteristics of the site and reduces wetland impacts to the maximum extent practicable by routing the access road along an upland berm and reducing the number of lots. The anticipated impacts and the proposed impact minimization and mitigation measures are described below. Wetlands The project site contains approximately 12.4 acres of wetlands, which constitutes 40% of the site. These wetlands are actively managed mosquito impoundments that are connected to the Indian River Lagoon via off -site culverts that are a considerable distance northward and south of the site. Based on the configuration of the site, wetland impacts are unavoidable, but they have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Since impacts to wetlands are unavoidable, the activities will be permitted through applicable Local, State, and Federal agencies. This will require a Federal Dredge and Fill Permit from the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). These permits are applied for through submittal of a Joint ERP application to the FDEP. The St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District will benefit greatly from this project, due to the addition of two culverts under AIA and a pump station to aid in the flushing and management of the mosquito impoundments. Please see the attached letters from the Mosquito Control District. The public will also benefit from funds provided by the applicant to purchase up to one mitigation credit from the Bear Point Mitigation Bank. Fish and Wildlife No significant adverse impacts relative to fish and wildlife values are anticipated to result from this project. The following goal, which is outlined in the Coastal Element of the Comprehensive Plan is directly related to the proposed mitigation for the Sunset Beach project. The restoration of tidal exchange to the mosquito impoundments is an important habitat restoration measure to improve wetland habitats in the coastal area. The St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District has developed an effective management plan, part of which includes acquisition and the restoration of marshes along the Indian River Lagoon. These efforts should continue to be implemented with restoration and development improvements that enhance coastal waters for fisheries and wildlife. Cooperative initiatives between the State and County should continue to evaluate the future efforts of the District to integrate the objectives of marsh restoration and mosquito control. By avoiding impacts to wetlands where practicable, the applicant has preserved approximately 9.5 acres (over 75%) of the onsite wetlands which are potential habitat for the wading birds. These preserved and enhanced wetlands will be put into conservation. The proposed project is consistent with St. Lucie County's Land Development Regulations relative to sea turtle protection and wetland conservation. Some environmental impacts are unavoidable irrespective of whether the site is developed under BIRD or PUD zoning regulations due to the site geometry. The HIRD zoning requires larger lots which in turn would require a larger development area in order to make the project financially feasible; therefore, the BIRD zoning would also result in greater wetland impacts. Rezoning to PUD IF Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report allows flexibility in the site plan that reduces the restrictions and allows for the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative (LEDPA) to be developed onsite. Water Ouality The river waters adjacent to the site are considered Class II waters, since they are part of the Aquatic Preserve within the IRL. To protect water quality, the following measures are proposed by the applicant. ■ No direct runoff will result from the project. Lots will be graded such that back yards, as well as roof drainage, will drain to the storm water management system.: The storm water pond(s) will be located as landward as practicable. ■ Best Management Practices will be identified and incorporated into the property owners' association documents, deeds and covenants. These practices will require native plantings and xeric landscape, and limit the use of herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers and other materials and practices that are not "appropriate" for this project. ■ During construction, a water quality monitoring program will be implemented to ensure that during construction, no water quality degradation occurs. ■ The project permits will be conditioned such that no additional impacts to the shoreline or conservation easements will be permitted. ■ Proposed mitigation will also improve water quality by connecting the existing wetlands (mosquito impoundments) via culverts under AIA and to the saltwater basin to increase flushing onsite and offsite. Shoreline Erosion and Accretion According to the Comprehensive Plan, the beach and dune system is under stress in much of the County. Much of the beach erosion is a result of the inlet jetties interrupting the natural southern littoral drift of sand, although storms have contributed to the problems. Beach restoration is on -going south of the jetty. The primary dune is non-existent or very low in some locations. It has also been impacted by storms, the lack of sand and exotic plant species. Dune restoration including exotic removal and re -vegetation with native plant species and additional dune crossings are needed. Policy 7.1.5.5 of the Comprehensive Plan places some constraints on new developments: Access to the beach for new development will be confined to elevated walkways that protect dune systems, subject to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection approval. There are no activities proposed that would result in shoaling or erosion on or in the vicinity of the project site. Best management practices will be utilized to control erosion during construction. Erosion control measures utilized during site grading activities could include silt fences and hay bales. The applicant proposes to restore the dune, which is nearly nonexistent due to erosion, to an elevation of approximately 15 feet along the entire length of the property. The dune will also be planted with native species. The dune will be placed in a Conservation Easement. A community dune crossover is proposed to minimize impacts to the dune system. Historic and Cultural Resources An archaeological and historical survey of the Sunset Beach project area was conducted by Panamerican Consultants, Inc. (PCI) in October 2005. Portions of one previously recorded resource 12 Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report (8SL15) are recorded within the Sunset Beach property; however, previous investigations of the site, including one conducted by PCI in May 2005, concluded that 8SL15 consisted of spoil piles that were mistakenly recorded as an archaeological site. A June 2, 2005, letter from the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) agreed with the determination. Based on the results of this investigation, it is the opinion of PCI that development of the Sunset Beach property will not have an effect on sites or properties that have historical, cultural, or sacred significance, or that otherwise meet the minimum criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Development of this property will not affect any cultural resources that are otherwise of local or regional significance. No further archaeological work or historical research was recommended. Flood Hazards A portion of the site is within the Coastal High Hazard Area based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The development will be designed in accordance with applicable State and Federal requirements. The proposed project is not anticipated to cause a flood hazard. FloodRlain Values The project site is located on the FEMA FIRM number 12111C0194 G, revised November 4, 1992. The majority of the site is in Zone AE with flood elevations raging from 7 to 10 feet during the 100- year storm depending on the location within the project site. The easternmost portion of the site is located in Zone VE (EL 12), where the area is a flood zone with velocity hazard (wave action) and the base flood elevation has been determined to be 12 feet. Houses will be constructed in accordance with the FDEP Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) Program and the Florida Building Code. The applicant has applied for a CCCL permit to the FDEP Beaches and Coastal Systems for the roadway and the gazebo at the dune crossover. The rezoning is consistent with CCCL requirements. Mosquito Impoundments The restoration of tidal exchange to the mosquito impoundments is an important habitat restoration measure to improve wetland habitats in the coastal area. The St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District has developed an effective management plan, part of which includes acquisition and the restoration of marshes along the Indian River Lagoon. The County believes that these efforts should continue to be implemented with restoration and development improvements that enhance coastal waters for fisheries and wildlife. The applicant has proposed several mitigation measures including: Restoration of Native Vegetation Removal of nuisance and exotic vegetation and restoration of native vegetation is a priority as described in Policy 7.1.2.2 of the Coastal Element of the Comprehensive plan. The County shall require the removal and eradication of all nuisance and exotic vegetation such as Australian pine, Brazilian pepper, and Melaleuca during construction of new development and replacement with plant species that are consistent with Policy 7.1.2.1. The proposed site plan includes removal of 12.2 acres of Australian pines and restoration of native vegetation to the extent practicable. 13 Sunset Beach PUD Supplemental Information Report 8. Will the proposed rezoning result in an orderly and logical development pattern? Please explain. There is a residential development approximately 1,500 feet to the south of the site that contains oceanfront residential single-family development. The property immediately north of the site is currently in the County site plan approval process for a condominium development. The Indian River Lagoon is located to the west of the site and the Atlantic Ocean is located to the east. The site is proposed to be developed as a high quality single-family oceanfront residential community. It is a low -profile low -impact development that is considerate of the environmental constraints of the site. The site plan is consistent with the development envisioned for the area (as detailed by the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code) which is to facilitate growth and development of the barrier islands while conserving the natural and human values the islands represent. Given the environmentally sensitive nature of barrier islands, the proposed plan ensures that growth and development is clustered away from environmentally sensitive lands and is limited to the more tolerant upland portions of Hutchinson Island. Aesthetics The proposed development is in accordance with the St. Lucie County Land Development Regulations and consistent with the character of development on South Hutchinson Island. The proposed development is also consistent with the oceanfront single-family residential development located south of the site. The proposed rezoning will result in an orderly and logical single-family residential development. Economics According to the Economic Development Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the County must develop and implement activities designed to improve the overall prosperity of St. Lucie County and its residents. The proposed project will increase the assessed value of property, and in turn, increase the ad valorem tax base generating revenue for St. Lucie County. This request allows for the economically viable development of infill property utilizing existing infrastructure.

A location map is provided as Figure 1. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has been retained by Sunset Beach Investments to provide the supporting information for this Preserve Area Management and Monitoring Plan (Plan) for the proposed on -site Preserve Areas. The following addresses delineation of the Preserve Areas, prohibited activities, and monitoring and maintenance plans for the proposed Preserve Areas. Three Preserve Areas exist on -site: Wetland Preserve Area, Upland Preserve Area and Dune Preservation Zone. 2.0 EXISTING SITE VEGETATION Land uses were classified according to the Florida Department of Transportation's 1999 Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS). A Vegetation (FLUCFCS) Map of the site is included as Figure 2. The acreages provided for each land cover are based upon field reconnaissance survey information and aerial interpretation. On -site vegetation includes Australian Pine (FLUCFCS 437) and Mangrove Swamps (FLUCFCS 612). Descriptions of land covers are provided below. FLUCFCS 437 — Australian pine (11.2+ acres) The length of property located to the east and west of AlA is dominated by invasive and exotic vegetation. Most of this area is dominated by Australian pine (Casuaruna equisq(olia). Australian pine dominates the uplands (berm) located between the mosquito impoundments and the Atlantic Ocean. FLUCFCS 612 - Mangrove Swamps (13.4 + acres) There are two mosquito impoundments located east of AIA that are managed by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District. The mosquito impoundments are separated from a saltwater basin "Joe's Pond" by a man-made berm. Joe's Pond is not part of the subject site. The onsite mosquito impoundments have no direct onsite connection to the IRL. The species observed in the impoundments are red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), white mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa) and black mangroves (Avicennia germinans). There is a mosquito impoundment and a mangrove swamp within the western portion of the project area that are connected to the IRL, via an offsite culvert. These mosquito impoundments are predominantly composed of red mangroves, black mangroves and white mangroves. 3.0 SURVEY REQUIREMENTS The Preserve Areas will be surveyed. No plant material shall be removed from the Preserve Areas to facilitate surveying, fencing or soil boring sampling without prior permission from a St. Lucie County Environmental Planner. 3.01 Barricading Requirements The developer will ensure that Preserve Areas are protected with physical barriers during all clearing and construction activities in accordance with the following guidelines: a) Barricades (not including turbidity screens) will be high -visibility orange safety fence with a final height of at least 4 feet above the ground. Barricades shall not be attached to vegetation. b) All barricades and turbidity screens will be upright and maintained intact for the duration of construction. c) Where areas are proposed for clearing (i.e. building envelope, utilities, drainage, road right-of-way, etc.) the bright orange barricades must be offset at least 10 feet outside the Preserve Area or placed at the dripline of the canopy trees, whichever is greater. d) All native vegetation (not slated for removal as part of the development plans) shall be retained in their undisturbed state and will be barricaded at or outside the dripline of the trees. e) Cut or fill will meet existing grade without encroaching into Preserve Areas. f) In the event that any protective barricades are removed or altered and land clearing or construction work is being conducted on -site, all work at the site will be stopped until the barriers are restored and any necessary corrective actions taken to repair or replanting of any vegetation removed or damaged as a result of encroachments g) Preserve areas will be posted with signs marked "Preserve Area" (Figure 3). 3.02 Prohibited Activities Prohibited activities in the Preserve Areas or easements within Preserve Areas include, but are not limited to: construction or placing of building materials on or above the ground; dumping or placing soil or other substances such as garbage, trash, and cuttings; removal or destruction of native trees, shrubs or other native vegetation; excavation, dredging or removal of soil materials; diking or fencing; vehicular traffic including recreational vehicle and off road vehicle use; permanent irrigation, trimming, pruning, or fertilization; and any other activities detrimental to drainage, flood control, water conservation, erosion control or fish and wildlife conservation and preservation (accept as required by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District). No hazardous material other than fuel for refueling on -site heavy equipment will be stored on -site during the construction phases. On -site fuel tanks will not be located within 25 feet of any Preserve Area and shall be removed upon completion of construction work. Development activities, such as the construction of building pads for associated structures, swales, or culverts for surface water management will not alter the hydrology of adjacent preserve areas. Nor should any activities increase non -point source pollution in the Preserve Areas. 4.0 RESTORATION & MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES Wetland Preserve Except for approved restoration, maintenance activities and activities associated with the management of the mosquito impoundments (Wetland Preserve Area) by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District, the Preserve Area will be left undisturbed. All maintenance of the Preserve Area will be in accordance with this Plan. Maintenance and management activities will be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified environmental professional. The following activities shall be allowed within the Preserve Area with prior written approval from St. Lucie County. a) Activities associated with the operation and maintenance of the mosquito impoundments by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District b) Exotic plant removal c) Revegetation — planting native vegetation, as necessary d) Removal of dead, diseased, or safety hazard plant material Dune Preservation Zone All maintenance of the Preserve Area will be in accordance with this Plan. Maintenance and management activities will be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified environmental professional. Except for approved restoration, maintenance activities and activities associated dune restoration, the Preserve Area will be left undisturbed. The extent and frequency of the dune restoration will be based on the dune condition. The POA will establish and maintain a Dune Fund for the monitoring, maintenance and restoration of the dune as required. It is anticipated that the dune will be renourished periodically or after significant storm erosion events. All dune work will be completed according to the Sea Turtle Protection Plan and per the FDEP Coastal Construction Control Line permit No. SL-233. Upland Preserve Area All maintenance of the Preserve Area will be in accordance with this Plan. Maintenance and management activities will be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified environmental professional. The following activities shall be allowed within the Preserve Area with prior written approval from St. Lucie County. e) Exotic plant removal f) Revegetation — planting native vegetation, as necessary g) Removal of dead, diseased, or safety hazard plant material 4.01 Exotic Species Exotic vegetation in Preserve Areas shall be removed by the least ecologically damaging method available. Such methods include hand pulling, hand spading, chain saw and/or treatment with an appropriate herbicide. No debris, such as plant clippings or wood scraps, shall be allowed in the Preserve Areas. All exotic species will be removed within six to nine months of receipt of the first Building Permit. Exotic and invasive species will continually be eradicated in perpetuity, as required. 4.02 Re -vegetation Sunset Beach Investments, LLC will restore 7.1 acres of dune system. Beach compatible sand will be replaced within the primary dune area as was permitted through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Vegetation within the restoration area will consist of planted railroad vine (Ipomoea pes-caprae) and sea oats (Uniola paniculata), bitter panicum (Panicum amarum), sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera), golden creeper (Ernodea littoralis), and saw palmetto (Serenoa repens). Re -vegetation in the Wetland Preserve Area and the Upland Preserve Area will be performed to meet the performance criteria set forth in the FDEP Permit No. 56-0264272- 001. 4.03 Removal of Plant Material No native plant material shall be removed from the Preserve Areas. Dead or diseased plant material may be removed only upon a written finding by St. Lucie County that the material creates a safety hazard to buildings within the fall zone of the material or the material does not add to the continued health of the Preserve Areas. Re -vegetation may be required for any removed plant material. 5.0 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS & RESTRICTIONS 5.01 Dust During construction, dust annoyance to adjacent property owners and Preserve Areas shall be eliminated via application of water or other approved means. 5.02 Noise Noise resulting from project site construction shall not exceed the noise levels and other requirements stated in St. Lucie County Ordinances. 5.03 Periodic CleanupBasic Site Restoration During construction, all accumulated debris and cleared vegetation will be removed from the project site on a regular basis, and as ordered by the Environmental Consultant and/or Project Engineer. NO construction debris or cleared vegetation shall be moved or stored within the on - site Preserve Areas. 5.04 Water Quality Turbidity curtains and erosion control structures will be installed around all Wetland Preserve Areas to prevent siltation and encroachment of turbid waters. All turbidity curtains and erosion control structures installed will be inspected by the Engineer and the Environmental Consultant prior to construction activities. 6.05 Chemical, Fuel, and other Hazardous Materials All chemicals, fuel, and other hazardous materials used on -site during construction activities, whether herbicide, pesticide, solvent, or reactant of other classification, will be required to have Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approval. The handling, use, storage, and disposal of such materials, containers, or residues shall be in strict conformance with the manufacturer and or supplier's instructions. NO chemicals, fuel, or other hazardous materials will be stored within the Preserve Areas. A hazardous substance cleanup kit will be kept on -site during construction activities. NO chemicals, fuel, or other hazardous materials will be stored within twenty-five (25) feet of a Preserve Area. 6.06 Construction Equipment NO heavy equipment or construction equipment shall be stored, cleaned, repaired, or fueled in or within twenty-five (25) feet of a Preserve Area. 7.0 MONITORING & MAINTENANCE PLAN The Preserve Areas will be monitored annually for a five (5) year period. A time -zero monitoring report will be completed after planting is complete. Monitoring will be conducted annually and annual reports documenting the results of the annual monitoring event will be prepared, to document the progress of the Preserve Areas located on -site. The reports will include vegetation analysis, wildlife utilization, panoramic photographs, and conclusions of the annual monitoring event. 7.01 Monitoring Set-up The time -zero will consist of setting wetland monitoring transects (T) with multiple quadrats (Q) in the wetlands. The beginning of each transect (T1, Q1) will be marked with a 36-inch survey stake or a concrete monument and will be used for fixed point panoramic photographs. Quadrats will be established along each transect and marked with 36-inch survey stakes painted fluorescent orange and flagging tape. Panoramic photos will be taken at T1, Q1; T2, Q1; T3, Ql; T4, Q1; T5, Q 1; T6, Q 1 and T7, Q 1. Additional single point photos will be taken at all quadrats. These fixed-transects and photo stations will be used to document physical changes in vegetation characteristics in the preserved wetland areas annually. 7.02 Vegetation Survey Biologists will conduct annual vegetation surveys of the transects for a period of five (5) years. Each vegetative community type will be represented in the transects and major vegetation zones will be identified. Sample quadrats will be established along the transects, approximately every 200 feet. Vegetation inside the quadrats will be identified to species level, when possible. The percent -coverage of each species will be recorded. 7.03 Panoramic Transect & Quadrat Photographs At the beginning of each transect, a color panoramic photograph (180°) will be taken. A range - pole marked in 12" intervals will be provided in each photograph for scaling vegetation growth. A single photograph will be taken of each quadrat. Panoramic photographs will also be taken at on -site upland Preserve Areas and the conditions of these areas will be discussed in the annual reports. The photographs will provide physical documentation of the conditions within the upland Preserve Area. Photographs taken during the annual monitoring event will be included in the annual reports. 7.04 Wildlife Utilization A qualitative study of wildlife utilization (birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles) will be conducted during each monitoring event. Wildlife utilization will be determined by sighting, scat, calls, nests, burrows, tracks, etc. A species list of observed wildlife from each of the annual monitoring event will be compiled and included in the annual reports. 7.05 Exotic Plant Species Exotic and nuisance plant species will be removed, in perpetuity, within the proposed Preserve Areas. Brazilian pepper and Austrailian pine currently located within the property will be removed from site. Other exotic and nuisance species will be treated with an approved herbicide (i.e., Rodeo) or pulled by -hand. Exotic maintenance will be performed on an as needed basis, depending on the existing conditions during each annual monitoring event. The proposed Preserve Areas will be maintained at <5% of listed exotic and nuisance vegetation as defined by the Exotic Pest Council (Table 1). Maintenance will be conducted in perpetuity and run with the land. 7.06 Monitoring Reports Annual monitoring reports, depicting results of each of the annual monitoring event, will be submitted to the St. Lucie County Community Development Department and St. Lucie County Environmental Resource Department. The time -zero report will be submitted within thirty (30) days of the completion of planting the Preserve Areas. Annual reports will be submitted within thirty (30) days of sampling the Preserve Areas. The monitoring reports will contain, but are not limited to, the following information: • date of the monitoring report; • results of the annual vegetation surveys; • results of the annual wildlife surveys; • annual panoramic and quadrat photographs; • discussion of project issues related to vegetation, exotic species and permit compliance, according to St. Lucie County permit conditions.

Nearly all of the records are from local, state, and federal parks and preserves, a few records document infestations in regularly disturbed public lands such as highway or utility rights -of -way. Natural area managers and other veteran observers of Florida's natural landscapes submit these records, with many supported further by voucher specimens housed in local or regional her- baria for future reference and verification. New and updated observations can be submitted online at www.fleppc.org/ EDDMapS/ This database, along with other plant -data resources such as the University of South Florida Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants at www.plantatlas.usf.edu, the Florida Natural Areas Inventory database at www.fnai.org, and The Institute for Regional Conservation Floristic Inventory of South Florida database at www.regionalconservation.org, provides important basic supporting information for the FLEPPC List of Invasive Plant Species. Images of FLEPPC-listed species may be found at one or more of the following websites: University of South Florida Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants, www.plantatlas.usf.edu, the "Introduced Species" page on the University of Florida Herbarium website, www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herbarium/caL/digitalimagingprojects.htm, at Fairchild Tropical Garden's Virtual Herbarium, www.virtualherbarium.org/vhportal.html, The Robert K. Godfrey Herbarium at FSU, http://herbarium.bio. fsu.edu/index.php, and at the University of Florida's Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu. Please note that greater success and accuracy in searching for plant images is likely if you search by scientific name rather than a common name. Common names often vary in cultivation and across regions. For additional information on plants included in this list, see related links and pages at www.fleppc.org.

S E4/e�FC Permttee Name: Sunset Beach Investments, LLC Your=repuost for a permit pursuant to Section 161.053, Florida Statutes, for construction or other activities seaward of the coastal construction control line, has been approved by the Department of Environmental Protection. However, construction may not commence until after the permittee has received a notice to proceed in accordance with Special Permit Condition(s) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the permittee complies with any preconstruction requirements described in Special Permit Condition(s) 7 and 9. Please read the permit and permit conditions including both the General Permit Conditions and any Special Permit Conditions closely before starting construction. General Permit Conditions 1(q), 1(r), and 1(s) pertain to written reports which must be submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection at specified times. Forms for use in preparation of these reports are enclosed. Make sufficient copies of the periodic report form to provide the required reports. The periodic reports are due in the office of the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems on a monthly basis on the last working day of each month. No progress reports are required until such time as construction activities have started. The permit will expire on July 23, 2011. Upon receipt of a timely written request signed by the permittee or authorized'` agent, the Department. will consider extending the permit for up to but no more than three years. You must apply for new permit for completion of any work not accomplished under the original permit. Although you may apply for a new permit, there is no assurance that such new permit for the same construction or activities would be approved. Any person whose substantial interests are affected by any decision of the Department on the application has the right to request an administrative hearing in accordance with the provisions of Sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes. Should you desire an administrative hearing, your request must comply with the provisions of Rule 28-106.201 of the Florida Administrative Code, as indicated below. Send requests for hearings to the Department of Environmental Protection, Office of General Counsel, 3900 "More Protection, Less Process " u,,n.0 /Ion ctnta t 4le Michael E. Kiefer, Jr. July 23, 2008 Page Two Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399. The Department must receive the request within twenty-one (21) days after your receipt of this notice. When the Department receives an adequate and timely filed request for hearing, the Department will request the assignment of an administrative law judge. Once an administrative law judge is requested, the referring agency will take no further action with respect to the proceeding except as a party litigant, as long as the Division of Administrative Hearings has jurisdiction over the formal proceeding. Rule 28-106.201(2), Florida Administrative Code, explains what must be included in a petition for a formal administrative proceeding. Section 120.54(5)(b)4, Florida Statutes, and Rule 28-106.201(2) of the Florida Administrative Code, explain what must be included in a petition for a formal administrative proceeding. Unless otherwise provided by statute, and except for agency enforcement and disciplinary actions that shall be initiated under Rule 28-106.2015, F.A.C., initiation of proceedings shall be made by written petition to the agency responsible for rendering final agency action. The term "petition" includes any document that requests an evidentiary proceeding and asserts the existence of a disputed issue of material fact. Each petition shall be legible and on 8 1/2 by 11 inch white paper. Unless printed, the impression shall be on one side of the paper only and lines shall be double-spaced. (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency's file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner's representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner's substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the Department's action; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the Department's proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statute the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the Department's proposed action, including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action petitioner wishes the Department to take with respect to the Department's proposed action. A person may request an extension of time to petition for an administrative hearing. The person filing the request for extension must do so within the time limits for filing a petition described above and serve all parties with the request. The request must state why an extension is needed. The Department will grant an extension only when good cause is shown. Michael E. Kiefer, Jr. July 23, 2008 Page Three If a petition or request for extension of time is filed, further order of the Department becomes necessary to effectuate this notice. Accordingly, the Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Actions undertaken by you under this permit, pending the lapse of time allowed for the filing of such a request for hearing, may be subject to modification, removal, or restoration. Failure to petition within the allowed time frame constitutes waiver of any right that such a person has to request a hearing under Sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes and to participate as a party to the proceeding. If a legally sufficient petition for hearing is not timely received this notice constitutes final agency action. When this order becomes final, any party to the order has the right to seek judicial review under Section 120.68 of the Florida Statutes and Rules 9.030(b)(1) and 9.110 of the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure by filing a notice of appeal with the Department of Environmental Protection, Office of General Counsel, Department Clerk, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399, and with the appropriate district court of appeal within thirty days after this final order is filed with the Department Clerk. The notice filed with the district court must be accompanied by the filing fee specified in Section 35.22(3) of the Florida Statutes. Any subsequent intervention will only be at the approval of the presiding officer upon motion filed under Rule 28-106,205, Florida Administrative Code. A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's proposed agency action may choose to pursue mediation as an alternative remedy under Section 120.573 before the deadline for filing a petition. Choosing mediation will not adversely affect the right to a hearing if mediation does not result in a settlement. The procedures for pursuing mediation are set forth below. A person may pursue mediation by reaching a mediation agreement with all parties to the proceeding (which include the applicant, the Department, and any person who has filed a timely and sufficient petition for a hearing) and by showing how the substantial interests of each mediating party are affected by the Department's action or proposed action. The agreement must be filed in (received by) the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, by the same deadline as set forth above for the filing of a petition. The agreement to mediate must include the following: (a) The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any persons who may attend the mediation; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the mediator selected by the parties, or a provision for selecting a mediator within a specified time; (c) The agreed allocation of the costs and fees associated with the mediation; (d) The agreement of the parties on the confidentiality of discussions and documents introduced during mediation; (e) The date, time, and place of the first mediation session, or a deadline for holding the first session, if no mediator has yet been chosen; Michael E. Kiefer, Jr. July 23, 2008 Page Four (f) The name of each party's representative who shall have the authority to settle or recommend settlement, and (g) Either an explanation of how the substantial interests of each mediating party will be affected by the action or proposed action addressed in this notice of intent or a statement clearly identifying the petition for hearing that each party has already filed, and incorporating it by reference. (h) The signatures of all parties or their authorized representatives. As provided in Section 120.573 of the Florida Statutes, the timely agreement of all parties to mediate will toll the time limitations imposed by Sections 120.569 and 120.57 for requesting and holding an administrative hearing.

Any person whose substantial interests are affected by any decision of the Department on the application has the right to request an administrative hearing in accordance with the provisions of Sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes. Should you desire an administrative hearing, your request must comply with the provisions of Rule 28-106.201 of the Florida Administrative Code, as indicated below. Send requests for hearings to the Department of Environmental Protection, Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399. The Department must receive the request within twenty-one (21) days after your receipt of this notice. When the Department receives an adequate and timely filed request for hearing, the Department will request the assignment of an administrative law judge. Once an administrative law judge is requested, the referring agency will take no further action with respect to the proceeding except as a party litigant, as long as the Division of Administrative Hearings has jurisdiction over the formal proceeding. Rule 28-106.201(2), Florida Administrative Code, explains what must be included in a petition for a formal administrative proceeding. Section 120.54(5)(b)4, Florida Statutes, and Rule 28-106.201(2) of the Florida Administrative Code, explain what must be included in 'a petition for a formal administrative proceeding. Unless otherwise provided by statute, and except for agency enforcement and disciplinary actions that shall be initiated under Rule 28-106.2015, F.A.C., initiation of proceedings shall be made by written petition to the agency responsible for rendering final agency action. The term "petition" includes any document that requests an evidentiary proceeding and asserts the existence of a disputed issue of material fact. Each petition shall be legible and on 8 1 /2 by 11 inch white paper. Unless printed, the impression shall be on one side of the paper only and lines shall be double-spaced. (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency's file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner's representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner's substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the Department's action; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the Department's proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statute the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the Department's proposed action, including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action petitioner wishes the Department to take with respect to the Department's proposed action. A person may request an extension of time to petition for an administrative hearing. The person filing the request for extension must do so within the time limits for filing a petition described above and serve all parties with the request. The request must state why an extension is needed. The Department will grant an extension only when good cause is shown. If a petition or request for extension of time is filed, further order of the Department becomes necessary to effectuate this notice. Accordingly, the Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Actions undertaken by you under this permit, pending the lapse of time allowed for the filing of such a request for hearing, may be subject to modification, removal, or restoration. Failure to petition within the allowed time frame constitutes waiver of any right that such a person has to request a hearing under Sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes and to participate as a party to the proceeding. If a legally sufficient petition for hearing is not timely received this notice constitutes final agency action. When this order becomes final, any party to the order has the right to seek judicial review under Section 120.68 of the Florida Statutes and Rules 9.030(b)(1) and 9.110 of the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure by filing a notice of appeal with the Department of Environmental Protection, Office of General Counsel, Department Clerk, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399, and with the appropriate district court of appeal within thirty days after this final order is filed with the Department Clerk. The notice filed with the district court must be accompanied by the filing fee specified in Section 35.22(3) of the Florida Statutes. Any subsequent intervention will only be at the approval of the presiding officer upon motion filed under Rule 28-106,205, Florida Administrative Code. A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's proposed agency action may choose to pursue mediation as an alternative remedy under Section 120.573 before the deadline for filing a petition. Choosing mediation will not adversely affect the right to a hearing if mediation does not result in a settlement. The procedures for pursuing mediation are set forth below. A person may pursue mediation by reaching a mediation agreement with all parties to the proceeding (which include the applicant, the Department, and any person who has filed a timely and sufficient petition for a hearing) and by showing how the substantial interests of each mediating party are affected by the Department's action or proposed action. The agreement must be filed in (received by) the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, by the same deadline as set forth above for the filing of a petition. The agreement to mediate must include the following: (a) The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any persons who may attend the mediation; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the mediator selected by the parties, or a provision for selecting a mediator within a specified time; (c) The agreed allocation of the costs and fees associated with the mediation; (d) The agreement of the parties on the confidentiality of discussions and documents introduced during mediation; (e) The date, time, and place of the first mediation session, or a deadline for holding the first session, if no mediator has yet been chosen; (f) The name of each party's representative who shall have the authority to settle or recommend settlement, and (g) Either an explanation of how the substantial interests of each mediating party will be affected by the action or proposed action addressed in this notice of intent or a statement clearly identifying the petition for hearing that each party has already filed, and incorporating it by reference. (h) The signatures of all parties or their authorized representatives. As provided in Section 120.573 of the Florida Statutes, the timely agreement of all parties to mediate will toll the time limitations imposed by Sections 120.569 and 120.57 for requesting and holding an administrative hearing. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediation must be concluded within sixty days of the execution of the agreement. If mediation results in settlement of the administrative dispute, the Department must enter a final order incorporating the agreement of the parties. Persons whose substantial interest will be affected by such a modified final decision of the Department have a right to petition for a hearing only in accordance with the requirements for such set forth above, and must therefore file their petitions within twenty-one days of receipt of this notice. If mediation terminates without settlement of the dispute, the Department shall notify all parties in writing that the administrative hearing processes under Sections 120.569 and 120.57 remain available for disposition of the dispute, and the notice will specify the deadlines that then will apply for challenging the agency action and electing remedies under those two statutes.

A us CONSERVATION EASEMENT PACKAGE Sunset Beach Investments, LLC c/o Cliff Kennedy, Managing Member 207 Carson's Creek Drive Dawsonville, Georgia 30534 File No. EI-56-0264272-001, St. Lucie County Sunset Beach Investments, LLC Dear Mr. Kennedy: It was determined that a conservation easement (CE) will be an important component in meeting the specific conditions included in Consolidated Environmental Resource Permit No. EI-56-0264272-001. A draft CE prepared by staff is enclosed for reference, but should NOT be signed or recorded at this time. Further processing of this CE will proceed only after the permittee provides all the information requested in the attached "Conservation Easement Package Checklist". The following is a simplification of the sequence of events involved for processing the conservation easement: I. Pertnittee, reviews the draft CE prepared by the Department's Office of General Counsel and attached herein; 2. Surveyor prepares a survey (see `Boundary Information and Maps" below), and a legal description of the CE property; 3. A title company of your choosing prepares a title commitment naming the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection as the insured. The title commitment may list exceptions that will need to be resolved prior to recording of the CE. The title company should send the commitment directly to the Department processor (listed below); 4. Permittee submits items on the attached checklist to the Department processor, including a Baseline Documentation Report (see below); 5. The Department reviews the title commitment and coordinates with the permittee and title company to ensure that exceptions that adversely affect the purposes of the CE are removed; 6. Department staff drafts the final CE and mails this to the permittee; 7. Permittee signs the CE and returns it to the Department processor (listed below); 8. The Department sends the signed CE with detailed instructions to the title company; 9. The title company updates the title commitment; a. If no exceptions exist, the title company will be authorized to record the CE and Baseline Documentation Report; b. If outstanding or new exceptions exist, the title company will be directed to contact the Department and to resolve the exceptions as needed; after satisfactory resolution, the title company will be authorized to record the CE and Baseline Documentation Report; 10. CE and Baseline Documentation Report are recorded by the title company; 11. Title company (or permittee) sends the original, recorded CE, and recorded Baseline Documentation Report to the Department processor (listed below); 12. The Department issues the final permit; 13. The title company issues a title insurance policy naming the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as the insured and sends a copy to the Department processor (listed below). A. INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED TO THE DEPARTMENT A complete list of items to be submitted to the Department for processing is enclosed as "Conservation Easement Package Checklist." This information will supplement the material already in our file. The items to be inclwl .- n this package should be prepared carefully and accurately. The following is a brief explanation of the items on the checklist. You will be responsible for all costs associated with obtaining a conservation easement. These costs will include the costs for a survey, a Baseline Documentation Report, a title insurance commitment and policy, and recording of documents in the County land records. Boundary Information and Maps Please provide the Department with boundary information and maps of the land proposed to be encumbered by the conservation easement_ You will need to coordinate with the Department to determine whether a survey or professional sketch of the area to be placed under easement will be required. This determination will be based on the size and purpose of the CE. Your surveyor should be able to assist in determining whether a survey or professional sketch of description will be acceptable. The survey will need to show the boundary of the easement and include all structures, roads, utilities and other visible improvements on the property. If visible improvements do not exist, the survey must include a note that none exist. A Florida licensed surveyor must certify the boundary survey or sketch of description in accordance with Chapter 61G17-6, F.A.C. Your surveyor can use the "Survey Checklist" (Form CE- 1la) as a guide. This will include a legal description, which should be provided in both a paper and an electronic format to the Department processor. In addition to the signed and sealed paper surveys as required by Chapter 61 G 17- 6, the surveyor is encouraged to submit the survey using the survey digital format requirements described in the attached SLER 0955-B. In addition, maps and aerial photos listed on the enclosed checklist are needed to locate and depict the condition of the area. These include a local road map and aerial photograph each depicting the proposed location of the CE. Title Insurance Commitment and Policy To obtain the necessary title information, you will need to hire a title company or retain a lawyer to perform a title search and prepare a title commitment and subsequent title insurance policy for the property proposed to be placed into a conservation easement. Please provide the Department with the latest tax statement for the property upon which the CE will be placed. Your local property appraiser's office (http://www.propertyappraiser.com) can provide you with this information. It will be used to ensure that the title insurance policy is sufficient to cover the assessed value of the parcel. Once a title company has completed its title search, it will issue a "title commitment" which commits the title company to issue a title insurance policy. This title commitment identifies the fee simple owner and any encumbrances on the property on the date the commitment was issued (see below). The title company must send the title commitment directly to Department processing staff, NOT to you.(the permittee). Encumbrances Encumbrances, such as easements, mortgages, liens, judgments, -reservations (including mineral rights or timber deeds), will be listed as exceptions to the title commitment. The Department will review the title commitment and determine whether any of the exceptions will adversely affect the purposes of the conservation easement. If any adverse encumbrances exist, you will need to coordinate with the title company to ensure that these exceptions are removed from the title commitment (by release, satisfaction, or subordination). The title company will execute -all necessary subordination agreements, lien releases, or satisfactions. The title company will then be requested to submit an endorsement to the title commitment that will remove these exceptions. Form CE-7 "Subordination Agreement" is enclosed. You should make multiple copies of this form if more than one mortgage or lien encumbers your property. The subordination agreement is used to subordinate the mortgage or lien on the lands to be encumbered by the CE, and is signed by the bank or lien holder. Other formats of the form may be acceptable but will require review by the Department's Office of General Counsel, which may lengthen the processing time. If a mortgage or lien does not exist as an encumbrance, this form will not be required. A "Title, Possession and Lien Affidavit" forms for either an individual, joint owners, or a corporation (Form CE-8a, Form CE-8b, or Form CE-8c, respectively) are enclosed. You should use the form that fits your situation. The purpose of this form is to verify that the land is free and clear of encumbrances, such as use rights, liens, or judgments which are superior to or have priority over the conservation easement. This form must be signed by you within 90 days before recording the conservation easement. Baseline Documentation Report The Baseline Documentation Report documents the ecological and physical conditions of the land to be encumbered by the CE at a particular point in time, including a description of the ecological communities and all, disturbances to and structures built on the site. The requirements for the Baseline Documentation Report are contained in Form CE- 10. In most cases, this report should be completed by an environmental professional. In some cases, staff may accept a Baseline Documentation Report prepared by you; coordinate with staff to determine if it is appropriate for you to prepare the report. B. ADDITIONAL STEPS TO COMPLETE PROCESSING The following summarizes the remaining steps assuming all other criteria have been met for issuance of the regulatory permit. Upon completion and submittal of all information required on the "Conservation Easement Package Checklist", the Department will finalize the CE, and send it to you for your signature. Once the final title commitment has been issued and the CE signed, witnessed, and notarized, the title company shall record the conservation easement in the St. Lucie County land records. On the day the title company records the executed CE, it will "search the gap" between the date the commitment was issued and the date of recording to ensure that no documents were recorded during that time that may affect the title. Once the CE is executed, the title company will issue a title insurance policy to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). The policy will insure the Department from loss or damage resulting from liens, encumbrances, or defects of title to the parcel of realty. The title company should send all original recorded documents and a copy of the Title Insurance Policy to the Department. Prior to issuance of the final permit, the title company or permittee must provide the Department with a copy of the executed and recorded conservation easement. If you have any questions regarding the above process, please contact Indar Jagnarine at 561/681-6640 or Holly Boyett at 561/681-6635.

II. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW The Department has permitting authority under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and Chapters 62-330, 62-341 and 62-343, F.A.C. The activity is not exempt from the requirement to obtain an environmental resource permit. Pursuant to Operating Agreements executed between the Department and the water management districts, as referenced in Chapter 62-113, F.A.C., the Department is responsible for reviewing this application. A portion of the mitigation activities also requires a proprietary authorization, as it is partially located on sovereignty submerged lands owned by the Board of Trustees of the Intemal Improvement Trust Fund. The activity is not exempt from the need to obtain a proprietary authorization. Pursuant to Article X, Section 11 of the Florida Constitution, Sections 253.002 and 253.77, F.S., Sections 18-21.0040, 18-21.0051, 18-20, 62-343.075, F.A.C., and the Operating Agreements executed between the Department and the water management districts, as referenced in Chapter 62-113, F.A.C., the Department has the responsibility to review and take final action on this request for proprietary authorization. III. BACKGROUNDBASIS FOR ISSUANCE A. General The 29.15-acre property is located on a barrier island approximately 4.75 miles south of Fort Pierce Inlet and 3.75 miles north of the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant. Significant on -site, natural features include a disturbed beach/dune system, 13.4 acres of mangrove wetlands actively managed for mosquito control, and a saltwater tidal basin connected to the Indian River by a culvert under State Road AIA. The severely eroded dune habitat is dominated by mature Australian pines and bare trunks, which have fallen and scattered over a groundcover sparsely vegetated by a few species, including native railroad vine Qpomoea pes-caprae), the invasive exotic, half -flower (Scaevola taccada), and a single specimen of sea lavender (Argusia gnaphalodes), listed as a threatened species. The mangrove communities are characterized by the canopy, seedlings, and saplings of red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), black mangroves (Avicennia germinans), and white mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa). The east and west mangrove wetlands are infested along their landward borders with a fringe of Australian pine (Casuarina equisetifolia) and Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) associated with the interface of the State Road AIA Right -of -Way. The current proposal for the 44-lot residential development with 0.91 acres of wetland impacts, including 0.67 acres of permanent fill impacts and 0.24 acres of temporary construction impacts, reflects a significant reduction from the original proposal for a 54-lot residential development with approximately three acres of permanent impacts to mangrove wetlands. The permittee has incorporated staff recommendations to reduce the wetland impacts to the amount required for construction of the access road, a fire truck turnaround, drainage structures, and mosquito control structures. Secondary impacts to remaining wetlands are minimized along most of the project area by incorporation of an upland buffer between site activities and remaining wetlands. Where space limitations preclude a buffer, bulkheads will be constructed to prevent encroachment into wetlands. Adverse water quality impacts will be avoided by implementing appropriate best management practices and turbidity control procedures during construction, as well as implementing a water quality monitoring plan during the initial release of impounded water when the proposed impoundment culverts and pump become operational. In order to offset 0.91 acre of permanent and temporary impacts to mangrove wetlands, the permittee shall complete the following mitigation activities: (1) the permittee shall purchase one mitigation credit from the St. Lucie County Bear Point Mitigation Bank prior to commencement of construction; (2) the permittee shall enhance 7.8 acres of mangrove wetlands on the east side of State Road AIA; (3) the permittee shall enhance 4.1 acres of mangrove wetlands on the west side of State Road Al A; (4) the permittee shall create 1.2 acres of upland buffer, located adjacent to the wetlands east of State Road AIA and surrounding the saltwater basin; (5) the permittee shall restore 1.3 acres of mangrove wetlands on previously altered sovereignty submerged lands, located west of State Permittee: Sunset Beach Investments, LLC File No.: EI-56-0264272-001 Page 3 Road A 1 A; (6) the perarittee has executed and recorded with St. Lucie County a conservation easement granted to the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection encompassing 20.23 acres of on -site existing, restored, and enhanced wetlands and coastal dune habitat; and (7) the pennittee shall monitor and maintain all mitigation areas in strict accordance with the attached "Sunset Beach Maintenance and Monitoring Plan." A portion of the mitigation activities shall be located within the Jensen Beach to Jupiter Inlet Aquatic Preserve and shall provide improved water quality within the mangrove wetland system. Therefore, it is staff s opinion that the proposed mitigation project is "clearly in the public interest" and otherwise meets all applicable requirements for a proprietary authorization to use sovereignty submerged lands, pursuant to Article X, Section 1 l of the Florida Constitution, Chapters 253 and 258, F.S., associated Rules 18-21 and 18-20, F.A-C. B. Specific Regulatory Basis for Issuance Through the above and based on the general/ I imiting and specific conditions to the permit, the applicant has provided affirmative reasonable assurance that the construction and operation of the activity, considering the direct, secondary and cumulative impacts, will comply with the provisions of Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and the rules adopted thereunder, including the Conditions for Issuance or Additional Conditions for issuance of an environmental resource permit, pursuant to Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., Chapters 62-330, and Sections 40E-4.301 and 40E-4.302, F.A.C. The construction and operation of the activity will not result in violations of the water quality standards set forth in Chapters 62-3, 62-4, 62-302, 62-520, 62-522, and 62-550, F.A.C. and will not degrade ambient water quality in Outstanding Florida Waters pursuant to Rule 62-4.242, F.A.C. The applicant has also demonstrated that the construction of the activity, including a consideration of the direct, secondary, and cumulative impacts, is not contrary to the public interest and the portion of the mitigation activities within the Jensen Beach to Jupiter Inlet Aquatic Preserve is clearly in the public interest, pursuant to paragraph 373.414(1)(a), F.S. C. Specific Proprietary Basis for Issuance Through the above and based on the general/limiting and specific conditions to the letter of consent, the applicant has met all applicable requirements for proprietary authorizations to use sovereignty submerged lands, pursuant to Article X, Section I I of the Florida Constitution, Chapters 253 and 258, F.S., associated Rules 18-21 and 18-20, F.A.C., and the policies of the Board of Trustees. The applicant has provided reasonable assurance that the activity: (1) is "not contrary to the public interest" and mitigation activities within the Jensen Beach to Jupiter Inlet Aquatic Preserve will be "clearly in the public interest"; (2) will maintain essentially natural conditions; (3) will not cause adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources or public recreation or navigation; and (4) will not interfere with the riparian rights of adjacent property owners. In addition, the project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the "Conceptual State LanLo Management Plan" adopted by the Board of Trustees on March 17, 1981. IV. PUBLICATION OF NOTICE The Department has determined that the proposed activity, because of its size, potential effect on the environment or the public, controversial nature, or location, is likely to have a heightened public concern or likelihood of request for administrative proceedings. Under section 403.815 of the Florida Statutes and rule 62- 103.150 of the Florida Administrative Code, you (the applicant) are required to publish at your own expense the enclosed Notice of Intent to Issue Permit. The notice must be published one time only within 30 days in the legal ad section of a newspaper of general circulation in the area affected. For the purpose of this rule, "publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the area affected" means publication in a newspaper meeting the requirements of sections 50-011 and 50.031 of the Florida Statutes, in the county where the activity is to take place. Where there is more than one newspaper of general circulation in the county, the newspaper used should be one with significant Permitee: Sunset Beach Investments, LLC File No.: EI-56-0264272-001 Page 4 circulation in the area that may be affected by the permit. If you are uncertain that a newspaper meets these requirements, please contact the Department at the address or telephone number listed below. The applicant must provide proof of publication to: Department of Environmental Protection Southeast District Environmental Resources Permitting c/o Indar Jagnarine, Professional Engineer III 400 North Congress Avenue, Suite 200 West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 The proof of publication shall be provided to the above address within seven days of publication. Failure to publish the notice and provide proof of publication within the allotted time shall be grounds for denial of the permit and letter of consent to use sovereignty submerged lands. V. RIGHTS OF AFFECTED PARTIES Under this intent to issue, the permit and letter of consent to use sovereignty submerged lands are hereby granted subject to the applicant's compliance with any requirement in this intent to publish notice of this intent in a newspaper of general circulation and to provide proof of such publication in accordance with section 50.051 of the Florida Statutes. This action is final and effective on the date filed with the Clerk of the Department unless a sufficient petition for an administrative hearing is timely filed under sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes as provided below. If a sufficient petition for an administrative hearing is timely filed, this intent to issue automatically becomes only proposed agency action on the application, subject to the result of the administrative review process. Therefore, on the filing of a timely and sufficient petition, this action will not be final and effective until further order of the Department. When proof of publication is provided, if required by this intent, and if a sufficient petition is not timely filed, the permit and letter of consent to use sovereignty submerged lands will be issued as a ministerial action. Because an administrative hearing may result in the reversal or substantial modification of this action, the applicant is advised not to commence construction or other activities until the deadlines noted below for filing a petition for an administrative hearing or request for an extension of time have expired and until the permit and letter of consent to use sovereignty submerged lands have been executed and delivered. Mediation is not available. A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's action may petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes. The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000.

Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, before the applicable deadline. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon. If a request is filed late, the Department may still grant it upon a motion by the requesting party showing that the failure to file a request for an extension of time before the deadline was the result of excusable neglect_ If a timely and sufficient petition for an administrative hearing is filed, other persons whose substantial interests will be affected by the outcome of the administrative process have the right to petition to intervene in the proceeding. Intervention will be permitted only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with rule 28-106.205 of the Florida Administrative Code.

Page 4 of 15 Sunset Beach investments, LLC Permit/Authorization No.: EI-56-0264272-001 Environmental Review: The 29.15-acre property is located on a barrier island approximately 4.75 miles south of Fort Pierce Inlet and 3.75 miles north of the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant. The project site is on the east and west side of State Road AIA, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Jensen Beach to Jupiter inlet Aquatic Preserve (Outstanding Florida Waters). The residential development and surface water management system will be located on the east side of State Road AlA. The outfall from the surface water management system will discharge into a saltwater tidal basin east of State Road AIA and within the Jensen Beach to Jupiter Inlet Aquatic Preserve via its connection by a culvert through State Road AIA. Fill for an access road shall be placed on a man-made berm and adjacent wetlands on the south side of the tidal basin. Minor activities associated, with culvert installation and turbidity screen placement will occur along the shoreline of the saltwater tidal basinsadjcent to the berm. Mitigation enhancement and restoration activities will occur on the east and west sides of Stat4oad'AlA. Upland fill removal and exotic/nuisance vegetation removal will occur on disturbed uplands ,to the tidal basin and the Indian River. Significant on -site, natural features include a disturbed beach/dundi.. ys%m, 13.4 acksof mangrove wetlands actively managed for mosquito control, and a saltwater tidal base Connect4to the Ind iatt.River by a culvert under State Road AIA. The severely eroded dune habitat is dominatedby mature Australian pines And..;bare trunks, which have fallen and scattered over a groundcover sparsely vegetated by a few species, including native railroad vine Qpomoea pes-caprae), the invasive exotic, half -flower (Scaevola tgecada) `and a single specim6pf sea lavender (Argusia gnaphalodes), listed as a threatened species. The mangrove wetlands between the disturbed ,coastal community andit�' Indian River are bisected by State Road . �,Wep n m AIA and further segregated into sections by maade berms. The two impoundments east of State Road AIA are separated by the berm around the north and sotdes of the tidal basin �tThe%mare at the "dead ends" of tidal exchange that occur via offsite culverts north and s,Quth of'the property extending &ough adjacent properties and State Road AIA to the Indian River. The northetir.portiotv4 pfmangroves,,west of State Road AIA are also impounded, but receive tidal exchange via offsite cut erts. T)y soi>lltern portions of mangroves west of State Road AIA are not impounded. This rejul%.i the appearance�ot more stagnant water quality conditions and less robust mangroves in the impoundrnentscbmpared with those in the tidal basin or the Indian River. The mangrove commurtrfteske„characterized by the canopy; seedlings, and saplings of red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), black mangroves (A`vrrpnnia gerM nam), and white mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa). Black mangrove pneumatophores and sea oxe eye'daisy CBot'rrchta frutescerrs) were also present within the mangrove community. The species listed move as well as ifi dler�crabs f Ilcu spp.) and land crabs (Cardisomo spp.) occur on the berm under the canopy o. Aust Wian pine (Casuarina equisetifolia) and Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius). Various species of fish and-i(nvertebrates such as,.shrimp, crabs, mollusks, and worms are expected to be present throughout Ae mangrove commy although their distribution and abundance in the impoundments would be less thanthose Wthe Indian River. The east and N'est mangrove wetlands are infested along their landward borders with a fringe of A"ustrahan pine and Bra4_xan pepper associated with the interface of the State Road Al A Right -of -Way. Marine turtles are` didwn to nest ori:the beach and dune at the site. Due to the disturbance and lack of appropriate food resources, gophertortoises and�other coastal listed species are not expected to occur on the beach or dune area of the site_ The man grovepoY, e feeding, breeding, nesting, resting, and refuge habitat for wading birds, including listed species. None of these --species were noted during the site inspections, and records of water bird colonies or bald eagle nests were not found to occur within the vicinity of the site. Activities shall not occur where seagrasses are present. The current proposal for the 44-lot residential development with 0.91 acres of wetland impacts, including 0.67 acres of permanent fill impacts and 0.24 acres of temporary construction impacts, reflects a significant reduction from the original proposal for a 54-lot residential development with approximately three acres of permanent impacts to mangrove wetlands. The permittee has incorporated staff recommendations to reduce the wetland impacts to the amount required for construction of the access road, a fire truck turnaround, drainage structures, and mosquito control structures. The impacts remaining after demonstration of adequate avoidance and minimization include a Page 5 of 15 Sunset Beach Investments, LLC Permit/Authorization No.: EI-56-0264272-001 permanent loss of 0.60 acre of mangrove wetlands (not within the Aquatic Preserve) which shall be filled for construction of the access road, permanent loss of 0.07 acre of mangrove wetlands (within the Aquatic Preserve) for construction of mosquito control structures that will improve water quality within the system, and temporary impacts to 0.24 acre of mangrove wetlands where turbidity control devices shall be placed waterward of bulkhead construction areas. Secondary impacts to remaining wetlands are minimized along most of the project area by incorporation of an upland buffer between site activities and remaining wetlands. Where space limitations preclude a buffer, bulkheads will be constructed to prevent encroachment into wetlands. Adverse water quality impacts will be avoided by implementing appropriate best management practices and turbidity control procedures during construction, as well as implementing a water quality monitoring plan during the initial release of impounded water when the proposed impoundment culverts and pump become operational. rimer Dune restoration activities and the removal of Australian pines, other exoticlnuisance species, and miscellaneous debris will enhance nesting habitat for marine turtles. To prevent secondary impacts to marine turtles and their ,t nesting habitat due to construction and operation of the developments the applicant;,shall follow a Sea Turtle Protection Plan, including a Lighting Plan, approved by the FlondaFish`1nd Wildlife nervation Commission prior to commencement of construction.

FLUCFCS 612 - Mangrove Swamps (13.4 + acre There are two mosquito impoundments located east of AIA and one impoundment located west of AIA that are actively managed by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District. The mosquito impoundments east of are separated from a saltwater basin "Joe's Pond" by a man-made berm. Joe's Pond is not part of the subject site. The on -site mosquito impoundments have no direct on -site connection to the Indian River Lagoon. The southernmost wetland west of A l A is not impounded. 3.0 DELINEATION OF NATIVE HABITAT The 13.4 acres of mangroves constitute the only native on -site vegetation. As depicted on Figure 3, 13.2 acres of wetlands will be preserved (11.9 acres will be preserved and 1.3 acres will be created). These wetlands will be referred to as the Wetland Preserve Area. Sunset Beach Investments, LLC will restore 7.1 acres of the dune system. The Dune Preservation Zone (7.1 acres) extends from mean high water to the 1978 CCCL. The Sunset Beach Property Owners Association, Inc. will be responsible for the maintenance and monitoring of the Wetland and Dune Preserve Areas. The Association's responsibilities are detailed in the Covenants and Restrictions. 4.0 RESTORATION & MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES Wetland Preserve Except for approved restoration, maintenance activities and activities associated with the management of the mosquito impoundments (Wetland Preserve Area) by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District, the Preserve Area will be left undisturbed. All maintenance of the Preserve Area will be in accordance with this Plan. Maintenance and management activities wit] be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified environmental professional. The following activities shall be allowed within the Preserve Area with prior written approval from St. Lucie County. a) Activities associated with the operation and maintenance of the mosquito impoundments by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District b) Exotic plant removal C) Revegetation — planting native vegetation, as necessary d) Removal of dead, diseased, or safety hazard plant material Dune Preservation Zone All maintenance of the Preserve Area will be in ance is Plan.

Such methods include hand pulling, hand spading, chain saw and/or treatment with an appropriate herbicide. No debris, such as plant clippings or wood scraps, shall be allowed in the Preserve Areas. All exotic species will be removed within six to nine months of receipt of the first Building Permit. Exotic and invasive species will continually be eradicated in perpetuity, as required. 4.02 Re -vegetation Sunset Beach Investments, LLC will restore 7.1 acres of dune system. Beach compatible sand will be replaced within the primary dune area as was permitted through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Vegetation within the restoration area will consist of planted railroad vine (Ipomoea pes-caprae) and sea oats (Uniola paniculata), bitter panicum (Panicum amarum), sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera), golden creeper (Emodea littoralis), and saw palmetto (Serena repens). Re -vegetation in the Wetland Preserve Area and the Upland Preserve Area will be performed to meet the performance criteria set forth in the FDEP Permit No. 56-0264272-001. 5.0 MONITORING & MAINTENANCE PLAN The Preserve Areas will be monitored annually for a five (5) year period. A time -zero monitoring report will be completed after planting is complete. Monitoring will be conducted annually and annual reports documenting the results of the annual monitoring event will be prepared, to document the progress of the Preserve Areas located on -site. The reports will include vegetation analysis, wildlife utilization, panoramic photographs, and conclusions of the annual monitoring event. 5.01 Monitoring Set-up The time -zero will consist of setting wetland monitoring transects (T) with multiple quadrats (Q) in the wetlands. The beginning of each transect (T1, Ql) will be marked with a 36-inch survey stake or a concrete monument and will be used for fixed point panoramic photographs. Quadrats will be established along each transect and marked with 36-inch survey stakes painted fluorescent orange and flagging tape. Panoramic photos will be taken at Tl, Q1; T2, Q1; T3, Q1; T4, Q1; T5, Q1; T6, Q1 and 17, Q1. Additional single point photos will be taken at all quadrats. These fixed-transects and photo stations wi se ument physical changes in vegetation characteristics in the preserved we �atoa kinuallf 5.02 Monitoring G .c Biologists will conduct Att4torijk f r a iod v )years.

The photographs will p vide ( th i al%VoeAdtion of the conditions within the upland Preserve Area. Photographs tak ual monitoring event will be included in the annual reports. 5.04 Wildlife Utilization A qualitative study of wildlife utilization (birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles) will be conducted during each monitoring event. Wildlife utilization will be determined by sighting, scat, calls, nests, burrows, tracks, etc. A species list of observed wildlife from each of the annual monitoring event will be compiled and included in the annual reports_ 5.05 Exotic Plant Species Exotic and nuisance plant species will be removed, in perpetuity, within the proposed Preserve Areas. Brazilian pepper and Austrailian pine currently located within the property will be removed from site. Other exotic and nuisance species will be treated with an approved herbicide (i.e., Rodeo) or pulled by -hand. Exotic maintenance will be performed on an as needed basis, depending on the existing conditions during each annual monitoring event. The proposed Preserve Areas will be maintained at <5% of listed exotic and nuisance vegetation as defined by the Exotic Pest Council. Maintenance will be conducted in perpetuity and run with the land. 5.05 Monitoring Reports Annual monitoring reports, depicting results of each of the annual monitoring event, will be submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Annual reports will be submitted within thirty (30) days of sampling the Preserve Areas. The monitoring reports will contain, but are not limited to, the following information: • date of the monitoring report; • results of the annual vegetation surveys; • results of the annual wildlife surveys; • annual panoramic and quadrat photographs; • discussion of project issues related to vegetation, exotic species and permit compliance W041124 SUNSET BEACH\ENV\ERPIMAINTENANCE AND MONITORING PLAN FDEP 04 04 08.DOC CULVERTS TO IMPROVE IMPOUNDMENT PRESERVE SIGN ZO APPROX.

ARTICLE IV. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE Architectural and Landscaping Design Guidelines I. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT The Declarant developed and designed Sunset Beach as a private, luxury residential oceanfront community with a "Traditional Coastal Florida" style architectural and landscaping theme. All homes have access to the ocean, and all construction is intended to be in compliance with state and local Page - 3 - approvals for the project. The color palette for all exterior finishes and recommended building and landscaping materials was developed specifically for Sunset Beach to further guide designers in their interpretation of the "Traditional Coastal Florida" theme. Restriction of architectural character to one general style will still allow for a tremendous variety of design expression due to the diversity found within the "Traditional Coastal Florida" theme. II. INTRODUCTION The Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements ("CCRs") for Sunset Beach, as amended from time to time, has caused the creation of a standing committee called the Architectural Review Committee ("ARC"). The CCRs have granted the ARC broad discretionary powers to regulate the planning, design, engineering, construction, and landscaping of all new construction or alteration to Sunset Beach committed property as defined in the CCRs; including but not limited to architectural style, exterior colors, textures, materials, overall impact on surrounding property, and other aesthetic matters. "The Committee may adopt Design Guidelines (Guidelines) to assist it in establishing a uniform standard for review and approval. The Design Guidelines may contain rules and provisions for submitting plans and specifications and general provisions applicable to all of the Committed Property, as well as specific provisions which vary according to land use and from one (1) portion of the Committed Property to another depending upon the location, unique characteristics, and intended use. The Design Guidelines are intended to provide guidance to Owners and Builders regarding matters of particular concern to the Committee in considering applications hereunder. The Design Guidelines are not the exclusive basis for decisions of the Committee and compliance with the Design Guidelines does not guarantee approval of any application." The intent of the ARC is to promote and assure that all improvements to the committed property are aesthetically compatible with each other; promote the architectural character of Sunset Beach; and are constructed to reflect the quality and permanence of a premiere residential community. The ARC shall have sole and full authority to amend the Design Guidelines, and any amendments shall be prospective only. There shall be no limitation on the scope of amendments to the Design Guidelines except that no amendment shall require the modification or removal of any structure previously approved once the approved construction or modification has commenced." Although the committee will try to provide each Sunset Beach property owner the most current version of the Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the property owner to obtain from the ARC and utilize the most current version of the published Sunset Beach Architectural and Landscaping Design Guidelines when planning, designing, engineering, and constructing any new construction or alteration to Sunset Beach committed property. It is the intent of this manual, the Architectural and Landscaping Design Guidelines for Sunset Beach, to help assure that Sunset Beach will be a community of quality homes and buildings with tasteful and aesthetically pleasing architectural design and landscaping that is consistent with a "Traditional Coastal Florida" style theme. This manual promotes the use of long-lasting materials, high construction standards, quality landscaping, and compatible site improvements. Page - 4 - The Guidelines set forth in this manual have been prepared by the ARC as a guideline for owners and their contractors in designing homes, landscaping, and other buildings within Sunset Beach. This manual does not include all building, use and other deed restrictions associated with Sunset Beach and, accordingly, each owner and any contractor retained by the owner should familiarize themselves with the provisions of the CCRs of Sunset Beach, the use restrictions imposed by various government agencies on Sunset Beach committed property, and the applicable local St. Lucie County and Florida state building codes and regulations. The inclusion of any recommendation in this manual shall not preclude the ARC's right to disapprove any proposed matter for any reason. The ARC has sole discretionary rights to override these guidelines. Approval by the ARC is required before an owner can obtain a government building permit. ARC approval does not constitute approval by any government permitting agency. The local government permitting agency, St. Lucie County, Florida, and the Department of Environment Protection (D.E.P.) require building permits for construction and any alteration to the committed property within Sunset Beach, which will necessitate compliance with local and state building codes. III. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REVIEW PROCESS The ARC shall approve proposed plans and specifications submitted for its approval only if it deems that the construction, alterations or additions contemplated will not be detrimental to the appearance of the surrounding area of the Total Property (including Committed Property) as a whole, and that the appearance of any structure affected thereby will be in harmony with the surrounding structures and is otherwise desirable. In reviewing each submission, the Committee may consider the quality of workmanship and design, harmony of external design with existing structures, and location in relation to surrounding structures, topography, and finish grade elevation, among other considerations. Decisions may be based solely on aesthetic considerations. Each Owner acknowledges that opinions on aesthetic matters are subjective and may vary over time. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to make final, conclusive, and binding determinations on matters of aesthetic judgment and whether proposed improvements are consistent with the (Architectural and Landscaping) Design Guidelines. A. Members The ARC is composed of three members appointed by the POA Board of Directors. While the Declarant controls the POA, it will appoint the ARC. An architect and landscape architect will be employed as consultants to help the Committee review construction plans for compliance with these Guidelines. B. Meetings The ARC meets every thirty days or as necessary to review applications. C. Submission Requirements A Sunset Beach Property Owner must submit an application to the ARC requesting review of all plans for construction, remodeling or alteration to the committed property within Sunset Page - 5 - Beach. Thorough and timely submission of all required information as well as adherence to the design standards and procedures set in this manual will prevent delays and minimize frustration of all parties involved. Questions concerning the interpretation of the application process or any matter set forth in this manual should be detailed in writing and submitted to the ARC. Exhibit "C" lists the current contact person, address and telephone number of the ARC. Said application to the ARC should be made prior to application processing with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The ARC requires that a St. Lucie County building permit be obtained after ARC approval of the proposed new construction or alteration to existing property. St. Lucie County will not approve a building permit until the ARC has stamped an owner's plans "Approved for County Permitting Purposes Only" or "Final Approval". The ARC requires that all construction within Sunset Beach be designed by a Florida licensed architect and/or engineer; that all building and landscape construction be performed by a Florida licensed contractor; that all landscaping be designed by a Florida licensed landscape architect; with demonstrable experience designing, constructing landscaping homes and other improvements in developments similar to Sunset Beach. The Committee must approve all building contractors; and reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reject any building contractor or subcontractor. The owner is responsible for assuring that a qualified building contractor is approved before Final Approval of construction plans. If there are any questions regarding a contractor's qualifications, the ARC should be consulted before an owner hires the contractor. The owner is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the requirements of this manual and other applicable documents are met by any contractor or sub -contractor hired by the owner. D. The Architectural and Landscape Design Review Five Step Process 1. Contractor Approval 2. Preliminary Review 3. Final Plan Review 4. Final Landscape Plan Review 5. Final Inspection of Approved Construction Step One - Contractor Approval Any contractor that works within Sunset Beach performing new construction or an alteration to existing property must be approved by the ARC. Owner's must submit the Contractor's Approval Application Form, Exhibit "D" prior to or simultaneously with the request for Preliminary Plan Review. All building contractors must have a current Florida Building and/or a Landscape Contractor's License, an occupational license, describe their business entity, provide evidence of business insurance, and references that will verify their competence in constructing the type of improvements for which the owner is hiring them. An owner will not receive Final Approval of their construction plans unless their contractor has been approved by the ARC. Page - 6 - Step Two - Preliminary Plan Review An owner shall submit preliminary drawings and specifications or other information to the ARC for Preliminary Review. Preliminary Review is provided for the convenience of owners in order that they may receive Preliminary approval of building and landscape plans prior to preparing and submitting detailed plans and specifications. The ARC shall evaluate the owners' applications for consistency with the approved Master Site Plan and state and local approval requirements. The ARC will review the information and indicate its approval, disapproval or recommendation as to the plan. A Preliminary approval given by the ARC shall not constitute approval for the commencement of construction, but only approval of the preliminary information being reviewed. Sets of the drawings shall be submitted on 18" x 12" paper. Reduction of actual size 24" x 36" (25%) drawing without actual scale is permitted. Submittals for Preliminary Review of any New Home Construction shall include at a minimum three (3) sets of the following and shall be designed by a Registered Florida Architect and a Registered Florida Landscape Architect: 1. ARC Submission Transmittal (Exhibit "E"). 2. Design Architect; Landscape Architect; Contractor Approval Form. (Exhibit "D"). 3. Preliminary site plan showing the approximate location and dimension of all improvements. This plan should also show the relationship of proposed building(s) on adjacent property. 4. All exterior elevations. 5. Preliminary landscape plans. This plan shall establish the basis and commitment for the landscape intent for all elevations of the residence. 6. Photographs of the site in its existing state taken from each corner of the home site. 7. Such other information, data and drawings that the owner desires the ARC to consider. The Committee may require additional information. 8. A review fee of $1,000.00 payable to the Sunset Beach Architectural Review Committee. 9. Preliminary Site Drainage Plan 10. Hurricane Protection Plan 11. The Coastal Construction Control Line application for the project. Step Three - Final Plan Review Owners requesting final approval for construction shall submit sufficient exhibits to demonstrate compliance with the standards and requirements of these Design Guidelines and the applicable state and local permit requirements. Construction must commence within six (6) months from date of final approval or final approval is void. If final approval is granted subject Page - 7 - to conditions, the conditions shall be satisfied within sixty (60) days of issuance or final approval shall be void. Submittals for final approval of any New Home Construction shall include at a minimum three (3) sets of the following and shall be designed and sealed by a Registered Florida Architect. One complete set of all documentation will be retained by the Committee for its permanent records after they have been stamped "Final Approval". Submittal Requirements: 1.

Exterior Lighting Fixtures (with cut sheets) Step Five - Final Architectural Review Committee Inspection After construction is complete and prior to obtaining the final building inspection from St. Lucie County, an owner must have their property inspected by the ARC to determine that, but not limited to, the exterior colors, building materials, pool design, landscape plan, drainage plan, irrigation plan, and the architectural design have been completed per the plans submitted and approved by the ARC. Page - 8 - St. Lucie County will not complete a final inspection on any improvement until the ARC has notified the Building Department that a permitted improvement within Sunset Beach has had a final inspection by the ARC. An owner will not receive a Certificate of Occupancy from St. Lucie County until the ARC has approved the improvements. Approval by the ARC does not guarantee that an owner will receive a building Certificate of Occupancy from St. Lucie County or that the residential building, pool, and other structures on the owner's lot have been designed according to government regulations. Approval by the ARC means that the improvements to the owner's lot have met the requirements of these Design Guidelines. E. Appeal If an application for Preliminary Review or Final Review has been denied, if an approval is subject to conditions that the "Owner" feels are harsh or unwarranted, or if there are disputes on any other matter related to actions of the ARC, the "Owner" may request a hearing before the full committee of the ARC. At the hearing, the "Owner" will be allowed to present their position on the matter and make requests or recommendations as to an alternative action. After the hearing, the ARC will review the information presented and notify the party of the ARC's final decision on the matter. The decision of the ARC shall be final. F. Construction Deposit The Owner shall deposit ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) with the ARC, to be held by the developer in a non -interest bearing account until the improvements are complete and the ARC performs its Final Inspection. In the event that the ARC finds the need to utilize these funds for, but not limited to, any of the purposes enumerated below, the ARC shall, except in an emergency, give the Owner two business days within which to begin to correct the problem. If the action is not begun within that time, the ARC is authorized to remedy the situation and withdraw funds from the construction deposit to cover any expenses. The Owner must replace any funds withdrawn from the construction deposit within seven (7) days of notification of the withdrawal by the ARC. The ARC may use all remedies available to it, including, without limitation, denying access to the building site over roads of the POA. The construction deposit may be used to offset any costs incurred by the POA or the ARC in order to: 1. Repair damage to any property caused by contractor or his subcontractors, suppliers and representatives during construction; 2. Pay for the cost of any cleanup of the site and adjacent property not performed by the contractor; 3.

C. Easements No permanent structures shall be placed in any easement (including large tree species). D. Drainage, Grading, Finished Floor Elevations Special attention shall be given to proper site surface drainage, so that surface waters will not interfere with surrounding home sites and natural surface water flows. Paved areas shall be designed to allow surface water to drain naturally and not allow water to collect or stand. Site plans shall show physical improvements or elements of the landscape or terrain, which control or determine the location or flow of surface water and drainage patterns. Spot elevations must be given for finish grades and decks at property and house/deck edges 20 feet on center or at critical locations to fully understand the drainage plan. If adjacent property is developed, the elevations shall be stated as they exist. No landscaping can restrict the conveyance of water The minimum floor elevations shall meet local, state and federal requirements at the time of building permit application. E. Driveways Parking spaces, garages, curb cuts and the driveway to a garage shall be planned and executed in an attractive and functional manner and shall consider the location of existing trees, topography, streetscape and compatibility with surrounding improvements. Driveways must be a hard surface such as 5' x 5' saw cut concrete, pavers or brick with reinforced edges to prevent spreading. Unacceptable materials include asphalt. Driveways shall be 12' — 16' wide, at the front property line through the right-of-way, before widening for on -site parking or other uses. The driveway entrance shall use the side yard setback to limit the distance from the adjacent property. The common sidewalk within the right-of-way must be terminated at the driveway entrance for a continuous driveway material. When curbs are required to be broken for driveway entrances, the curb shall be repaired in an orderly fashion in such a way that is acceptable to the ARC. Page - 13 - F.

A contractor's sign for an Unoccupied Home consistent with the Sunset Beach standard, established by the ARC, is permitted for temporary use consistent with Featured Builder and Developer agreements. Only a single contractor's identification sign will be permitted during construction. The sign must be removed upon receipt of the homes certificate of occupancy. The Architect and Landscape Architect's signs may be attached below the builder's sign in accordance with details and specifications provided by the ARC. All signs are subject to review and approval of the ARC prior to installation. F. Walkways The purpose of walkways is to lead the pedestrian to the various entrances of the residence and accessory structures within the home site. Walkways should be unobtrusive and match the driveway, or if located in the rear yard, the decking or patio materials. G. Fences and Walls Although landscape buffers are encouraged for visual screening, walls may be approved by the ARC provided that: The design is attractive and compatible with the overall character of the residence and with the Sunset Beach neighborhood. ii. The design and location of such wall does not adversely affect the adjacent property owner. iii. The wall is permitted by the St. Lucie County, FDEP and other applicable agencies. Walls constructed within the buildable area have a maximum height the same as the residence and are "frangible" as defined by the FDEP. Walls constructed between the front building setbacks, but within the side building setback have a maximum height of 5.5 feet above grade. Walls constructed between the rear building setbacks, but within the side building setback have a maximum height of 6 feet above grade. The location and materials utilized for fences is of utmost importance to the ARC. Improper placement and poorly constructed fences detract from even the best -looking designs. Fence materials shall be PVC, wrought iron or aluminum. Chain link fence is prohibited. Fences must be coordinated as closely as possible with building architectural colors and shall be approved by the ARC. Rear fences must be shared on the side property lines. Solid fencing in the rear is not allowed. Alternative design utilizing the specific fence in the rear will be reviewed individually. The fences must be visually screened 60% from neighboring views.

They must be located at the garage or entry area of the residence so that they are visible from the street. Page - 15 - VII. BUILDING CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS Sunset Beach will be developed in a "Traditional Coastal Florida" architectural style. In order for the community to exhibit a sense of cohesion, basic elements of the design must have a "Traditional Coastal Florida" flavor. The architect should strive to reflect a pure and simple, yet elegant tone to the design of the structure, and classical Floridian architecture lends itself to such an endeavor. There should be a sense of timelessness incorporated into the design. Details must be limited and consistent without a cluttered appearance. Faddish or weak interpretations shall be avoided. "Traditional Coastal Florida" architecture typically is low in perceived height. However, the ocean front property demands a more vertical type of construction. Many traditional `Floridian' architectural elements can be combined to create an overall `Floridian' style. A large palette of elements allows great flexibility, creativity, and variety while providing continuity and cohesiveness to the overall community. Porches and verandas are elements that have a major impact on this style. Both elements provide a transition from public to private space that adds warmth and continuity in the neighborhood. Incorporating details making up the porch, or possibly a veranda element, can provide a great opportunity to express individuality and variety with this style. "Traditional Coastal Florida" design shall be characterized by the following: Break pitched roofs over continuous porches and verandas with gentler slopes that the main roof structure. Columns and posts supporting the roof can be integrated with a variety of railing configurations used to both define the porch or veranda and add visual interest to the structures. Detailing is encouraged at gables, columns, post caps, brackets and railings. Gable roofs, large gracious windows, shutters, metal roofs, flat ceilings and quality ornate hardware also contribute to the "Traditional Coastal Florida" theme. A. Maximum Building Size The maximum buildable area is available; however you must comply with all other requirements and are encouraged not to over develop the lot. See the individual neighborhood sections for allowable building sizes. Guidelines for Sunset Beach Development are below: Lot Size: • Minimum Lot Size: 5,000 SF • Minimum Lot Width: 40' • Minimum Yard: o Front: 10, o Rear: 25' o Side: 5' • Maximum Building Height: 35' from first habitable floor • Max Lot Coverage: 50% Page - 16 - Grade (+8.0' MSL) Open, frangible construction, pilings under building envelope, access stairs outside of envelope at front and rear only, storage area (screen walls) under envelope, parking under envelope.

The preferred material for trim and decorations is stone or a high quality simulated stone. Highest quality windows and doors are required. F. Gutters Gutters may be approved as part of the roof fascia and eave system when special attention is given to downspout locations and overall color compatibility. Specifically, the corrugated "gooseneck" connection must be concealed from street and neighboring views. Copper half - round gutters, downspouts and their connection may be exposed to view. Gutter emitters may discharge in the right-of-way. G. Shutters and Awnings Window shutters must be sized to match window openings and mounted to appear operational. They must also follow the guidelines for exterior trim and decorating concerning materials and colors. From a design point of view, bevel board and panel shutters are preferred, but louvered shutters are acceptable. In the bevel board style, the joints between boards and the cross pieces should be understated to avoid a rustic look. A very small "V" groove should be used between boards, and all edges of the cross pieces should be chamfered. It is important to note that the installation of shutters should be done in the historical manner. All shutters must be sized to fit the window. Limited use of canvas awnings is permitted with ARC approval. Awnings on the front elevation are prohibited. Page - 18 - H. Drapes, Curtains and Shutters As viewed from the exterior, any drape, curtain, shutter or any other similar element shall be compatible in color and style with the exterior of the building. I.

Solar devices are permissible only on side or rear elevations, and not visible from the street or unsightly to adjacent property owners. The ARC must approve all locations. N. Chimneys Any exposed portion of a chimney outside of the building shall be constructed solely of brick, stone or stucco. If the fireplace is a metal (self -insulated) type with a metal spark arrestor at the top of the chimney, this arrestor must have a cowling or surround of a material approved in advance by the ARC and be a color approved by the ARC. Spark arrester may be left exposed. Chimneys, along with other projections above roofing surfaces, play a dominant role in depicting the character desired. Chimney dimensions shall be compatible in scale to the structure; however, the minimum size shall be two (2) feet, six (6) inches by four (4) feet, six (6) inches. O. Garages Garage doors are a large percentage of an elevation. They must have detailing on the door and surrounding trim for scaling and `Floridian' style. All residential dwellings shall include a garage adequate to house at least two (2), but not more than four (4), large -sized automobiles with a minimum floor space allocation for each automobile of not less than eleven (11) feet clear in width and twenty-two (22) feet clear in length.

Screening Screening when used to enclose covered porches will be allowed if detailed as part of the architectural statement using bold framing elements. Access doors will be of a matching Page - 20 - character identifying wide styles and 8'-0" height to minimize horizontal bracing elements. R. Swimming Pools N/A Porches, Decks, Verandahs and Balconies To promote indoor/outdoor transitions, the creative use of wide verandahs on the rear of residences is strongly encouraged. The use of balconies or second floor covered porches on two story plans is encouraged. They shall be incorporated into the building form to articulate and provide visual interest to large wall masses. The railings shall be consistent in character and detail to the rest of the structure. Use of wrought iron, anodized aluminum, quality PVC, or wood balusters for railings are acceptable. Handrails and/or columns form an integral part of the verandah concept. The handrails and columns should be either stone, painted aluminum or wrought iron (with proper rust inhibitors), and designed to be architecturally compatible with the residence. T. Energy Efficiency All homes shall meet or exceed Florida's Energy Efficiency Code for Building Construction. All plans and specifications submitted for final approval shall include evidence of compliance with this provision. U. Wells All residential homes shall be connected to St. Lucie potable water system and no wells shall be allowed. V.

GENERAL LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES It is the purpose of this section to establish regulations for minimum aesthetic landscape standards within the community of Sunset Beach. The ARC shall be the final authority regarding all landscape issues. At its discretion, the ARC may require additional landscaping on comer lots, sites with unusual site conditions or properties that may significantly impact the golf course. Sunset Beach is an upscale "Traditional Coastal Florida" style themed community. This concept should be reflected in the landscape, which should compliment and enhance the architectural style while maintaining a natural, south Florida character. Ideally, residential landscapes should provide a backdrop of native plantings with Floridian accents. It is the desire of the ARC that the landscape reflect the same level of permanence, quality and elegance as the architecture. Environmental sensitivity is a goal of Sunset Beach. Existing vegetation should be retained where possible and excessive use of fertilizer, pesticides and water -intensive species is discouraged. Each homeowner's individual preferences will reflect their personality and lifestyle. As each individual home becomes a part of the growing residential community, attention must be paid to the integrity of the Sunset Beach community. In order to ensure that individual homes fit within the overall design concept for Sunset Beach, while allowing homeowners to express their own tastes and aesthetics, the landscape guidelines have divided each lot into three distinct zones. Zone One is the Streetscape. Zone Two is the Private Yard surrounding the house in the front and rear. Zone Three is the Open Space Corridor that is the backdrop for the ocean and dunes. These zones will be further defined in the following pages with respective requirements listed. Each residential home will have an automatic irrigation system, connected to St. Lucie County's potable water system. The controls will be accessible to the Sunset Beach Property Owner Association maintenance crews. The irrigation system will adequately provide water to all three landscaping zones of the lot, including the common area between the side walk and street curb in front of each residence. A. Landscape Materials All plant material shall be Florida # 1 or better as defined by the latest edition of Grades and Standards for the Nursery Plants, State of Florida, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Tallahassee, FL. 1) Trees and Palms a) No more than fifty percent of the tree credit may be palm trees (two palms equals' one tree). Tree and palm locations must be coordinated with street tree locations. Street trees must be shown on the landscape plan. b) A minimum of fifty percent of trees and palms must be cold hardy species. c) All canopy trees counted as tree credits shall be a minimum of 3.5" caliper. d) Trees or palms planted in sod shall have mulch rings to protect them from maintenance equipment and string trimmers. Page - 22 - 2) Hedges Hedge shall be installed at a maximum of three feet on center and a minimum of 30" height. 3) Shrubs and Groundcover a) A minimum of twenty five percent of shrub and groundcover plantings must be a native to Florida. b) A minimum of fifty percent of the shrubs and groundcover must be cold hardy species. c) Annual planting shall not exceed 20% of the total footage of groundcover planting. 4) Grass a) All grass area shall be installed with sod and approved by the ARC prior to installation. St. Augustine `Flora tam' is recommended. 5) Mulch All planting beds shall have a three-inch layer of mulch. Dyed mulch (red mulch or other) is prohibited. 6) No synthetic or artificial plant material shall be used. B. Foundation Planting Facade building foundations shall be entirely planted with scrubs or groundcover. C. Side Yard Planting Side Yard must not be made impassible by planting and are required to provide access to the rear of the property. Side yard plantings must not obstruct drainage. D. Maintenance In general, landscaping should present a neat and orderly appearance. Trimmings and clippings must be removed the same day. Dead and damaged plants should be removed as promptly as possible. Grass areas must be maintained at or below 4" height. E. Earthwork Berms must present a natural, free flowing appearance and not be in excess of 2' height. Angular berms or planters created with timbers are prohibited. Berms must not create surface drainage problems. F. Topiaries Page - 23 - Pruning trees or shrubs into odd irregular shapes is prohibited except for hedges and individual pieces. All pruning shall be done in accordance with Natural Arborist's Standards. No topping or hat racking of trees is allowed. G. Irrigation All landscape areas shall be provided with an authentic underground irrigation system. Irrigation must be provided to the back of the curb of the adjacent street and to the rear lot line of the home site. The use of rain switch is required. All home sites must use the irrigation water source provided (reuse). H. Zone One - Streetscape The Streetscape zone is the width of the lot adjacent to the roadway. Trees and shrubs should not be planted within the 10' utility easement adjacent to the roadway. The composition and quality of planting, walls, mailboxes, and architectural elements along the street is one of the most significant visual elements in the community. The completion of a successful Streetscape depends on the proper adherence to the guidelines for this area. The ARC encourages accompanying under story planting with the street trees. The under story planting shall be species included on the approved plant list and should not impede drainage or block vision from driveways or intersections. Additional tree and shrub plantings in the Streetscape shall be in keeping with the natural character of the neighboring lot and the Sunset Beach community. This is an opportunity to create privacy within your property yet fit into the overall Sunset Beach concept. Newly planted trees shall be maintained in perpetuity by the homeowners and replaced within thirty days after determined not suitable or dead. Lawn in the Streetscape area shall be St. Augustine and shall be installed and irrigated to the street pavement edge. I. Zone Two - Private Yard The Private Yard is that portion of the lot extending from the edge of the Streetscape planting through to the rear yard buffer. Since the Private Yard represents the most private outdoor spaces for each home, the character and quality here can be an individual expression. Criteria that have been adopted by the ARC are as follows: The landscape architect shall examine the existing side yard landscapes of neighboring homes and the proposed landscape design shall be coordinated with those features. The view between neighboring homes and the ocean must be considered on all landscape plans. Open views into neighboring windows and pool areas are discouraged. The homeowner is strongly encouraged to separate all outdoor living areas from each other by establishing a vegetative screen with a height minimum of five feet with appropriate plant materials that will achieve 75% opacity within one year after installation. The elevations of homes shall have sufficient landscaping to screen all blank walls and large roof sections. All screening walls or fences shall have associated landscape planting in the Page - 24 - form of continuous shrubs or vines. Side yard landscaping shall avoid creating alleys between adjacent homes. J. Zone Three — Open Space Corridor The open space corridor is greatly affected by the planting in the rear yards of every home. Every homeowner's view across and down these corridors is impacted by what every other homeowner plants in their rear yards. This planting in this zone will create a harmonious backdrop for the ocean and dunes through out the community. The rear yard/setback is 25' on the oceanfront lots; the following items are not allowed to be constructed within the 25' rear setback: swimming pools, gazebos, habitable structures, or other structures not allowed east of the established building construction line (CCCL 1978) as defined by FDEP. All trees and shrubs shall have the characteristics of the ones described on the Preliminary landscape plan and utilize the recommended plant list. Trees and shrubs shall be planted in perpetuity and replaced within thirty days after determined not suitable or — dead.

Our products utilize our unique monochromatic filter system, which, applied to high quality lamps (light bulbs), results in a specific spectral output (see figured) widely regarded to be less distracting to nesting sea turtles and their hatchlings than white light. The Turtle Safe Lighting output is equal or superior to that of low-pressure sodium light sources, which have been accepted by many researchers and government agencies to be an acceptable source of lighting for coastal applications. Unlike low-pressure sodium lamps, our products can be used in many standard 120V lighting fixtures, which do not require a ballast. Often, our lamps can be retrofitted into existing lighting fixtures for instant compliance with the local jurisdiction at a minimal cost. While Turtle Safe Lighting products are one tool in helping to protect sea turtles and other species, no solution is absolute. The technology is based upon the best information available regarding less distracting light sources for sensitive species. Variances are possible species to species and individual to individual. Turtle Safe Lighting is a partner in developing state of the art solutions, making our products available to research organizations at no charge. While we believe that our products provide leading edge solutions based upon current research, we make no guarantee, directly or implied, that our products will absolutely protect marine turtles or other species. Many coastal lighting regulations require that the source illumination is not directly visible. Our masked compact fluorescent lamps and sleeves are one available solution. Other methods of shielding may also be necessary. Many of these are also available from Turtle Safe Lighting. Filtering inherently reduces the lumen/footcandle levels of the light source. This means that care must be taken to choose a lamp that will provide adequate output to light the area so that people can move about safely. Thank you for your interest in Turtle Safe Lighting products. Please call us for additional information or to place an order. Turtle Safe Lighting lamps (light bulbs) and filters are only effective when used in properly shielded lighting fixtures approved for the application.

F. DUNE RESTORATION All development shall comply with the following criteria concerning site development and maintenance, beach nourishment, and dune height elevations: 1. Restoration Requirement: Dune restoration shall be required for development which requires a County permit when, the elevation of the existing dune is less than the maximum height elevation specified in. Subsection 4. 2. Developed Sites: Sunset Beach HOA will maintain or restore the entire 1800' of dune with sand and vegetation to the maximum height elevation specified in Subsection 4 from a specified dune restoration fund. 3. Dune Restoration with Beach Nourishment: Dune restoration where needed shall be an integral part of any proposed beach nourishment plan. 4. Dune Restoration Height Elevation: All restored dunes, unless otherwise approved by the State, shall have the maximum height elevation specified below: is a. one (1) foot greater than the minimum required flood elevation for the subject parcel of land; or b. equal to the height of the adjacent dune. In no case shall the restored dune be less than eight (8) feet in elevation above mean sea level, i.e., the nineteen (19) year hourly average of heights as defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in Chapter 1613-33, Florida Administrative Code, unless otherwise approved by the State. The top of the proposed dune which has been approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Division of Beach and Coastal Systems will be at an elevation of 13. S feet (NA VD) or 1 S feet (NGVD). Plan and profile view exhibits of the proposed dune are attached 5. Character of Restored and Stabilized Beaches and dunes: Restored and stabilized beaches and dunes shall comply with the following, as applicable: a. Restored beaches, shall, to the maximum extent possible, resemble the characteristics of pre-existing or adjacent natural beaches in terms of sediment grain size, compaction, and beach slope. b. Restored and stabilized dunes shall, to the maximum extent possible, be similar in appearance to pre- existing or adjacent natural beaches in terms of profile, vegetation and sediment characteristics. c. Restored and stabilized dunes shall be designed such that the reconstructed dune profile does not effectively exclude access by nesting sea turtles. The proposed dune has designed to resemble other restored dunes in the area. Existing dunes have been greatly impacted and cannot be relied on for design criteria. The dune will be restored with beach compatible fill that will be hauled in by truck and deposited on the beach. Backhoes and graders will be utilized to shape the dune to the configuration shown in the attached graphics. All dune work will occur outside of sea turtle nesting season, as specified in the Sunset Beach Sea Turtle Protection Plan. The dune has been designed so that sea turtles are not excluded Sea turtle habitat will be improved greatly by the dune restoration. G. DUNE LANDSCAPING All development shall comply with the following criteria and recommendations concerning the use and maintenance of native dune vegetation: 1. Minimum Criteria: One hundred (100) percent of all landscaping material used on the frontal dune shall be composed of native vegetation adapted to soil and climatic conditions occurring onsite. Efforts on the part of the public, community organizations, or regulatory agencies to restore native vegetation on dune systems shall be encouraged and supported. 2. Sprinkler Systems: The use of temporary sprinkler systems to irrigate vegetated restored dunes shall be required. Once the vegetation has become established, all irrigation shall cease and all associated equipment shall be removed from the dunes. The use of permanent sprinkler or irrigation systems within the Dune Preservation Zone shall not be encouraged. The design and operation of sprinkler or irrigation systems shall not interfere with the normal development of sea turtle eggs in the nests or adversely affect emergent hatchlings. Seethe attached dune cross sections and planting plans. Temporary irrigation will be utilized until the vegetation is established and will then be removed when the annual dune monitoring shows that the plants are successful. The design and operation of the irrigation system will not interfere with the normal development of sea turtle eggs in the nests or adversely affect emergent hatchlings. 19 v Tic oR. 3� 3 m� i0 :C =C CZ 0 N n cn Z ((TTDo Z Z 0 D m ITt N m T Z UP I I b to i5 of UPLAND BUEEERDE uauuD I aae III _ 4 _ eu FER r —AND t 9pp CCLL A, I i998 ECCL FDA - = uns a UILABD eurr,R [O.R.

A location map is provided as Figure 1. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has been retained by Sunset Beach Investments to provide the supporting information for this Preserve Area Management and Monitoring Plan (Plan) for the proposed on -site Preserve Areas. The following addresses delineation of the Preserve Areas, prohibited activities, and monitoring and maintenance plans for the proposed Preserve Areas. Three Preserve Areas exist on -site: Wetland Preserve Area, Upland Preserve Area and Dune Preservation Zone. 2.0 EXISTING SITE VEGETATION Land uses were classified according to the Florida Department of Transportation's 1999 Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS). A Vegetation (FLUCFCS) Map of the site is included as Figure 2. The acreages provided for each land cover are based upon field reconnaissance survey information and aerial interpretation. On -site vegetation includes Australian Pine (FLUCFCS 437) and Mangrove Swamps (FLUCFCS 612). Descriptions of land covers are provided below. FLUCFCS 437 — Australian pine (11.2+ acres) The length of property located to the east and west of AIA is dominated by invasive and exotic vegetation. Most of this area is dominated by Australian pine (Casuaruna equiset(olia). Australian pine dominates the uplands (berm) located between the mosquito impoundments and the Atlantic Ocean. FLUCFCS 612 - Mangrove Swamps (13.4 + acres) There are two mosquito impoundments located east of AIA that are managed by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District. The mosquito impoundments are separated from a saltwater basin "Joe's Pond" by a man-made berm. Joe's Pond is not part of the subject site. The onsite mosquito impoundments have no direct onsite connection to the IRL. The species observed in the impoundments are red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), white mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa) and black mangroves (Avicennia germinans). There is a mosquito impoundment and a mangrove swamp within the western portion of the project area that are connected to the IRL, via an offsite culvert. These mosquito impoundments are predominantly composed of red mangroves, black mangroves and white mangroves. 3.0 SURVEY REQUIREMENTS The Preserve Areas will be surveyed. No plant material shall be removed from the Preserve Areas to facilitate surveying, fencing or soil boring sampling without prior permission from a St. Lucie County Environmental Planner. 3.07 Barricading Requirements The developer will ensure that Preserve Areas are protected with physical barriers during all clearing and construction activities in accordance with the following guidelines: a) Barricades (not including turbidity screens) will be high -visibility orange safety fence with a final height of at least 4 feet above the ground. Barricades shall not be attached to vegetation. b) All barricades and turbidity screens will be upright and maintained intact for the duration of construction. c) Where areas are proposed for clearing (i.e. building envelope, utilities, drainage, road right-of-way, etc.) the bright orange barricades must be offset at least 10 feet outside the Preserve Area or placed at the dripline of the canopy trees, whichever is greater. d) All native vegetation (not slated for removal as part of the development plans) shall be retained in their undisturbed state and will be barricaded at or outside the dripline of the trees. e) Cut or fill will meet existing grade without encroaching into Preserve Areas. fl In the event that any protective barricades are removed or altered and land clearing or construction work is being conducted on -site, all work at the site will be stopped until the barriers are restored and any necessary corrective actions taken to repair or replanting of any vegetation removed or damaged as a result of encroachments g) Preserve areas will be posted with signs marked "Preserve Area" (Figure 3). 3.02 Prohibited Activities Prohibited activities in the Preserve Areas or easements within Preserve Areas include, but are not limited to: construction or placing of building materials on or above the ground; dumping or placing soil or other substances such as garbage, trash, and cuttings; removal or destruction of native trees, shrubs or other native vegetation; excavation, dredging or removal of soil materials; diking or fencing; vehicular traffic including recreational vehicle and off road vehicle use; permanent irrigation, trimming, pruning, or fertilization; and any other activities detrimental to drainage, flood control, water conservation, erosion control or fish and wildlife conservation and preservation (accept as required by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District). No hazardous material other than fuel for refueling on -site heavy equipment will be stored on -site during the construction phases. On -site fuel tanks will not be located within 25 feet of any Preserve Area and shall be removed upon completion of construction work. Development activities, such as the construction of building pads for associated structures, swales, or culverts for surface water management will not alter the hydrology of adjacent preserve areas. Nor should any activities increase non -point source pollution in the Preserve Areas. 4.0 RESTORATION & MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES Wetland Preserve Except for approved restoration, maintenance activities and activities associated with the management of the mosquito impoundments (Wetland Preserve Area) by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District, the Preserve Area will be left undisturbed. All maintenance of the Preserve Area will be in accordance with this Plan. Maintenance and management activities will be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified environmental professional. The following activities shall be allowed within the Preserve Area with prior written approval from St. Lucie County. a) Activities associated with the operation and maintenance of the mosquito impoundments by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District b) Exotic plant removal c) Revegetation — planting native vegetation, as necessary d) Removal of dead, diseased, or safety hazard plant material Dune Preservation Zone All maintenance of the Preserve Area will be in accordance with this Plan. Maintenance and management activities will be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified environmental professional. Except for approved restoration maintenance activities and activities associated dune restoration, the Preserve Area will be left undisturbed. The extent and frequency of the dune restoration will be based on the dune condition. The POA will establish and maintain a Dune Fund for the monitoring, maintenance and restoration of the dune as required. It is anticipated that the dune will be renourished periodically or after significant storm erosion events. All dune work will be completed according to the Sea Turtle Protection Plan and per the FDEP Coastal Construction Control Line permit No. SL-233. Upland Preserve Area All maintenance of the Preserve Area will be in accordance with this Plan. Maintenance and management activities will be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified environmental professional. The following activities shall be allowed within the Preserve Area with prior written approval from St. Lucie County. e) Exotic plant removal f) Revegetation — planting native vegetation, as necessary g) Removal of dead, diseased, or safety hazard plant material 4.07 Exotic Species Exotic vegetation in Preserve Areas shall be removed by the least ecologically damaging method available. Such methods include hand pulling, hand spading, chain saw and/or treatment with an appropriate herbicide. No debris, such as plant clippings or wood scraps, shall be allowed in the Preserve Areas. All exotic species will be removed within six to nine months of receipt of the first Building Permit. Exotic and invasive species will continually be eradicated in perpetuity, as required. 4.02 Re -vegetation Sunset Beach Investments, LLC will restore 7.1 acres of dune system. Beach compatible sand will be replaced within the primary dune area as was permitted through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Vegetation within the restoration area will consist of planted railroad vine (Ipomoea pes-caprae) and sea oats (Uniola paniculata), bitter panicum (Panicum amarum), sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera), golden creeper (Ernodea littoralis), and saw palmetto (Serenoa repens). Re -vegetation in the Wetland Preserve Area and the Upland Preserve Area will be performed to meet the performance criteria set forth in the FDEP Permit No. 56-0264272- 001. 4.03 Removal of Plant Material No native plant material shall be removed from the Preserve Areas. Dead or diseased plant material may be removed only upon a written finding by St. Lucie County that the material creates a safety hazard to buildings within the fall zone of the material or the material does not add to the continued health of the Preserve Areas. Re -vegetation may be required for any removed plant material. 5.0 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS & RESTRICTIONS 5.07 Dust During construction, dust annoyance to adjacent property owners and Preserve Areas shall be eliminated via application of water or other approved means. 5.02 Noise Noise resulting from project site construction shall not exceed the noise levels and other requirements stated in St. Lucie County Ordinances. 5.03 Periodic Cleanup/Basic Site Restoration During construction, all accumulated debris and cleared vegetation will be removed from the project site on a regular basis, and as ordered by the Environmental Consultant and/or Project Engineer. NO construction debris or cleared vegetation shall be moved or stored within the on - site Preserve Areas. 5.04 Water Quality Turbidity curtains and erosion control structures will be installed around all Wetland Preserve Areas to prevent siltation and encroachment of turbid waters. All turbidity curtains and erosion control structures installed will be inspected by the Engineer and the Environmental Consultant prior to construction activities. 6.05 Chemical, Fuel, and other Hazardous Materials All chemicals, fuel, and other hazardous materials used on -site during construction activities, whether herbicide, pesticide, solvent, or reactant of other classification, will be required to have Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approval. The handling, use, storage, and disposal of such materials, containers, or residues shall be in strict conformance with the manufacturer and or supplier's instructions. NO chemicals, fuel, or other hazardous materials will be stored within the Preserve Areas. A hazardous substance cleanup kit will be kept on -site during construction activities. NO chemicals, fuel, or other hazardous materials will be stored within twenty-five (25) feet of a Preserve Area. 6.06 Construction Equipment NO heavy equipment or construction equipment shall be stored, cleaned, repaired, or fueled in or within twenty-five (25) feet of a Preserve Area. 7.0 MONITORING & MAINTENANCE PLAN The Preserve Areas will be monitored annually for a five (5) year period. A time -zero monitoring report will be completed after planting is complete. Monitoring will be conducted annually and annual reports documenting the results of the annual monitoring event will be prepared, to document the progress of the Preserve Areas located on -site. The reports will include vegetation analysis, wildlife utilization, panoramic photographs, and conclusions of the annual monitoring event. 701 Monitoring Set-up The time -zero will consist of setting wetland monitoring transects (T) with multiple quadrats (Q) in the wetlands. The beginning of each transect (T1, Q1) will be marked with a 36-inch survey stake or a concrete monument and will be used for fixed point panoramic photographs. Quadrats will be established along each transect and marked with 36-inch survey stakes painted fluorescent orange and flagging tape. Panoramic photos will be taken at Tl, Q1; T2, Q1; T3, Ql; T4, Ql; T5, Q 1; T6, Q 1 and T7, Q 1. Additional single point photos will be taken at all quadrats. These fixed-transects and photo stations will be used to document physical changes in vegetation characteristics in the preserved wetland areas annually. 7.02 Vegetation Survey Biologists will conduct annual vegetation surveys of the transects for a period of five (5) years. Each vegetative community type will be represented in the transects and major vegetation zones will be identified. Sample quadrats will be established along the transects, approximately every 200 feet. Vegetation inside the quadrats will be identified to species level, when possible. The percent -coverage of each species will be recorded. 7.03 Panoramic Transect & Quadrat Photographs At the beginning of each transect, a color panoramic photograph (180°) will be taken. A range - pole marked in 12" intervals will be provided in each photograph for scaling vegetation growth. A single photograph will be taken of each quadrat. Panoramic photographs will also be taken at on -site upland Preserve Areas and the conditions of these areas will be discussed in the annual reports. The photographs will provide physical documentation of the conditions within the upland Preserve Area. Photographs taken during the annual monitoring event will be included in the annual reports. 7.04 Wildlife Utilization A qualitative study of wildlife utilization (birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles) will be conducted during each monitoring event. Wildlife utilization will be determined by sighting, scat, calls, nests, burrows, tracks, etc. A species list of observed wildlife from each of the annual monitoring event will be compiled and included in the annual reports. 7.05 Exotic Plant Species Exotic and nuisance plant species will be removed, in perpetuity, within the proposed Preserve Areas. Brazilian pepper and Austrailian pine currently located within the property will be removed from site. Other exotic and nuisance species will be treated with an approved herbicide (i.e., Rodeo) or pulled by -hand. Exotic maintenance will be performed on an as needed basis, depending on the existing conditions during each annual monitoring event. The proposed Preserve Areas will be maintained at <5% of listed exotic and nuisance vegetation as defined by the Exotic Pest Council (Table 1). Maintenance will be conducted in perpetuity and run with the land. 7.06 Monitoring Reports Annual monitoring reports, depicting results of each of the annual monitoring event, will be submitted to the St. Lucie County Community Development Department and St. Lucie County Environmental Resource Department. The time -zero report will be submitted within thirty (30) days of the completion of planting the Preserve Areas. Annual reports will be submitted within thirty (30) days of sampling the Preserve Areas. The monitoring reports will contain, but are not limited to, the following information: • date of the monitoring report; • results of the annual vegetation surveys; • results of the annual wildlife surveys; • annual panoramic and quadrat photographs; • discussion of project issues related to vegetation, exotic species and permit compliance, according to St. Lucie County permit conditions.

Database - The Florida Exotic Pest Plant Database contains over 6,000 sight records of infestations of Fl-FPPC Category I and Category 11 species in Florida public lands and waters 360 species are recorded. Nearly all of the records are from local, state, and federal parks and preserves, a few records document infestations in regularly disturbed public lands such as highway or utility rights -of -way. Natural area managers and other veteran observers of Florida's natural landscapes submit these records, with many supported further by voucher specimens housed in local or regional her- baria for future reference and verification. New and updated observations can be submitted online at www.fleppcorg/ EDDMapS/ This database, along with other plant -data resources such as the University of South Florida Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants at www plantatlas.usf edu, the Florida Natural Areas Inventory database at www ftiat org, and The Institute for Regional Conservation Floristic Inventory of South Florida database at wnvw regionalconsen,ation.org, provides important basic supporting information for the FLEPPC List of Invasive Plant Species. lnta�es of FLEPPC-listed species may be found at one or more of the following websites University of South Florida Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants, www plamatlas.usi.edu, the "Introduced Species" page on the University of Flonda Herbarium website, www flmnh ufl.edu/herbarium/cat/digitalinmagingprojects.htm, at Fairchild Tropical Garderm's Virtual Herbarium, www,virtualherbanum org/vhporral him[, The Robert K Godfrey Herbarium at FSU, http://heibarium.bio. fsu edu/index php, and at the University of Florida's Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, http://plants.ifas ufl,eclu.

Annual assessments, fees or charges; and b. Special assessments for capital improvements, such assessments to be fixed, established and collected from time to time as hereinafter provided; and The annual and special assessments, together with such interest and cost of collection as herinafter provided, shall be a charge and continuing lien on the Lot or Home, as the case may be, against which it is made. Each such assessment, together with such interest and cost of collection as herinafter provided, shall also be the personal obligation of the person or entity that was the Owner of such property at the time when the assessment came due. Section 2. Purpose of Annual and Special Assessments. The assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively for the purpose of promoting the health, and maintenance of properties, services and facilities devoted to this purpose and related to the use and enjoyment of the Common Areas, and repair, replacement and additions thereto, and for the cost of labor, equipment, materials, management and supervision therof.

The extent and frequency of the dune restoration will be based on the dune condition. The POA will establish and maintain a Dune Fund for the monitoring, maintenance and restoration of the dune as required. It is anticipated that the dune will be renourished periodically or after significant storm erosion events. All dune work will be completed according to the Sea Turtle Protection Plan and per the FDEP CCCL permit No. SL-233. Section 7.

W Section 8. Quorum for Any Action Authorized under Sections 6 and 7. The quorum required for any action authorized by Section 6 and 7 hereof shall be as follows: At the first meeting called, as provided in Section 6 and 7 hereof, the presence at the meeting of Members, or of proxies, entitled to cast sixty-six and two-thirds (66 2/3) percent of all votes of the membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not forthcoming at any meeting, another meeting may be called, subject to the notice requirement set forth in Sections 6 and 7, and the required quorum at any such subsequent meeting shall be thirty-three and one-third (33 1/3) of all votes of the membership. Section 9. Duties of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Association shall fix the Date of Commencement and the amount of the assessment against each Lot or Home for each assessment period at least thirty (30) days in advance of such date or period and shall, at the time, prepare a roster of the Owners and assessments applicable thereto which shall be open to inspection by any owner subject thereto. The association shall, upon demand at any time, furnish to any Owner liable for said assessment, a certificate in writing signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether said assessment has been paid. Such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of payment of any assessment therein stated to have been paid. Section 10. Effect of Nonpayment of Assessment; The Personal Obligation of the Owner; the Lien; Remedies of the Association. If the assessments are not paid on the date when due (being the dates specified in Section 4 hereof), then such assessments shall become delinquent and shall, together with such interest and cost of collection as hereinafer provided, become a continuing lien on the property which shall bind such property in the hand of the then Owner, his heirs, devises, personal representatives and assigns. The Lot or Home Owner agrees that it shall be liable for and promptly pay as and when due to the Association all assessments as provided herein and in the Articles of the Association and the By -Laws. The Lot or Home Owner agrees and understands that in the event that a Lot or Home Owner fails to make payment as and when due, the Association shall have the right to record a lien against the Owner's Lot or Home in the form of a statement signed by President or Vice -President of the Association in recordable form. The Association shall have the right to enforce the lien in the manner provided under Florida law for the foreclosure of liens. The Lot or Home Owner shall pay interest on the amount owed at the highest rate permitted by law and all court costs and attorneys' fees incurred in collection, including preparation and filing of any assessment lien, as well as all fees incurred in foreclosure of such lien. The personal obligation of the then Owner to pay such assessment, however, shall remain his personal obligation. Provided, however, that no voluntary sale of any Lot or Home shall be effective, nor shall any marketable title be conveyed unless and until the Seller has obtained from the proper officers of the Association a certificate, in recordable form, attesting to the fact that the Seller has paid all assessments then due, as provided herein. If no such certificate is obtained and recorded, the Purchaser shall be conclusively presumed to have assumed such past due assessments and shall become forthwith personally liable therefore. If the assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days after the delinquency date, the assessment shall bear interest from the date of delinquency at the highest rate permitted by law, 27 and the Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same or to foreclose the lien against the property and there shall be added to the amount of such assessment, all costs of collection, including but not limited to the costs of preparing and filing the complaint in such action, and in the event a judgment is obtained, such judgment shall include interest on the assessment as provided above and a reasonable attorney's fee to be fixed by the Court together with the costs of the action. Section 11. Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages The lien of the assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage now or hereafter placed upon the Lot or Home subject to assessment. The sale or transfer of any Lot or Home shall not affect the assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any Lot or Home pursuant to a mortgage foreclosure or any proceeding in lieu thereof or the bona fide conveyance to the first mortgagee in satisfaction of a first mortgage shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No such sale or transfer shall relieve such property from liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due, nor from the lien of any such subsequent assessment, which again will be subordinated to the lien of a new first mortgage placed upon the Lot or Home. Section 12. Exempt Property. The following property subject to this Declaration shall be exempt from the assessments, charges and liens created herein: (a) all properties to the extent any easement or other interest therein is dedicated and accepted by the local public authority and devoted to the public use; and (b) all Common Areas as defined in Article 1, Section 1 hereof. However, said Common Areas shall be subject to St. Lucie County taxes and Municipal Service Taxing District taxes and special assessments, if any, to the extent that the tax assessment and valuation of Lots and Homes does not include the value of the Common Areas. 28 EXHIBIT "L" MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREAS AND AUTHORITY OF ASSOCIATION Maintenance of the Common Areas and the Authority or the Association may include, but is not necessarily limited to, the following items: a.

The site is divided by State Road AlA (AlA) and is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). A location map is attached as Figure 1. Site photographs are included as Appendix A. 1.2 Purpose This report documents and characterizes the natural resources found onsite and identifies potential impacts that may result from construction of the proposed oceanfront residential development. This report also provides a description of the approach used to conduct the natural resources survey and to evaluate the impacts of the proposed project. 2.0 METHODOLOGY Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) conducted site visits, regulatory agency coordination, and reviewed readily available documentation to provide the required data for this report in accordance with the St. Lucie County Land Development Code. A description of the methodology used to complete these tasks is provided below. 2.1 Vegetation FLUCFCS) KHA environmental staff conducted a field reconnaissance at the subject site in August and September 2005, November 2006, April 2007 and September 2007 with the most recent field visit December 2007 by Sunset Beach Investments, LLC staff to verify that no changes have occurred to the site from KHA's field work. The purpose of the field reconnaissance was to verify the existing wetland boundaries, identify areas of vegetative cover, and determine the potential for utilization of the site by listed species. The Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS) (1999) was used to classify the existing vegetative communities and land use cover within the site. Each vegetative community occurring within the site was delineated on a 1":200' scale aerial photograph using photo interpretation and ground truthing techniques. 2.2 Topography Site topography and average elevation was identified using a United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute series topographic map and a boundary/topographic survey prepared by Christian Fenex. The elevation of the site ranges from 0 to approximately 10 feet on the dune. A copy of the USGS Quadrangle Map is attached as Figure 2. 2.3 Wetlands Determination CZR delineated the onsite wetlands in April 2005. On October 6, 2005, KHA environmental staff re -delineated State and Federal jurisdictional wetland locations within the portions of the site using the statewide methodologies as described in Chapter 62-340, Florida Administrative Code (FAQ, as well as the 1987 Corps of Engineers Field Guide for Wetland Delineation. In areas where KHA agreed with CZR's delineation, the wetland line was left in place. These methods take into account prevalence of wetland vegetation, hydric soil indicators, and wetland hydrology. Any wetlands identified within the site were delineated on 1": 200' scale aerial photography of the site. Christian Fenex surveyed the wetland boundary. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) accepted the wetland delineation. 2.4 Threatened and Endangered Wildlife Species Survey KHA requested information from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) in August 2005 to determine the potential for state and federally listed threatened and/or endangered species and their habitat within the project area. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) bald eagle's nest locator database and waterbird colony roosting/nesting locator database were also reviewed. No documented eagle nests or waterbird colonies are located in the vicinity of the site. 2.5 Preliminary Agency Coordination KHA reviewed site conditions and available documentation, relative to the potential for protected species involvement. KHA coordinated with the FWC, USFWS, and FNAI to obtain information from their databases regarding known occurrences of protected species within project vicinity. KHA submitted a request to the State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) Florida Master Site File for a Preliminary Investigation of Previously Recorded Cultural Resources. The SHPO listed one previously recorded archeological site (8SL15) and no historical standing structures within the subject area. Panamerican Consultants, Inc. (PCI) performed a cultural resources assessment on the site in May and October 2005. PCI concluded that 8SL15 consisted of spoil piles that were mistakenly recorded as an archaeology site. SHPO concurred with PCI in correspondence dated June 2, 2005 which was previously submitted to the County. 3.0 VEGETATION AND SUBSTRATE 3.1 Vegetative Communities Land use within the site boundaries were identified through aerial photograph interpretation and random pedestrian transects. Land uses were classified according to the Florida Department of Transportation's 1999 Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS). AVegeation Map of the site is included on Figure 3. The acreages provided for each land cover are based upon survey information and aerial interpretation. The site contains Australian Pine (FLUCFCS 437), Mangrove Swamps (FLUCFCS 612), Beaches Other Than Swimming Beaches (FLUCFCS 710) and Disturbed Land (FLUCFCS 740). The on -site wetlands are discussed in the Wetlands and Other Surface Waters section. Descriptions of land covers are provided below. FLUCFCS 437 — Australian pine (11.2+ acres) The length of property located to the east and west of AlA is dominated by invasive and exotic vegetation. Most of this area is dominated by Australian pine (Casuaruna equisetfolia). Australian pine dominates the uplands (berm) located between the mosquito impoundments and the Atlantic Ocean. FLUCFCS 710 - Beaches Other Than Swimming Beaches (4.4 + acres) The onsite dune has experienced significant erosion from wind and water. The backdune area has been greatly impacted by the invasion of Australian pine. The shading effect of these pines along with a dense mat of needles covering the ground, have restricted the growth of most native vegetation. As part of this project, the dune will be restored to 13.5 feet in elevation and planted in native dune vegetation. Planting will extend from the dune west to the 1978 Coastal Construction Control Line. FL UCFCS 740 - Disturbed land (0.1 + acres) This area of disturbed land is located west of A I A in the northeast corner of the subject site. The St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District accesses their impoundment in this disturbed area. 3.2 Soils The 1980 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) / Soil Conservation Service Soil (SCS) Soil Survey of St. Lucie County Area, Florida maps the following primary soil types on the subject site: Beaches, Canaveral fine sand 0-5% slopes and the Pompano Variant-Kaliga Variant association. A soils map of the site is attached as Figure 4. Descriptions of the soil types excerpted from the SCS Soil Survey are included below: Beaches (9) - Consist of narrow strips of tide washed, very rapidly permeable sand along the Atlantic Coastline, which range from less than 100 feet to more than 500 feet in width. The water table ranges from a depth of 0 to 6 feet or more and the depth is highly variable depending on the distance from the water, height of beach and effect of storms each year. Near the waters edge the sand is firm or compact, but further back it is drier and loose. Beaches are made up of pale brown to light gray uncoated quartz sand grains, with some pockets or lenses of coquina shell or larger shell fragments. Canaveral fine sand (10)- This moderately well drained to somewhat poorly drained, nearly level to gently sloping soil with 0 to 5 percent slopes is on low dune like ridges and side slopes that border depressional areas and sloughs near the coast. Slopes are smooth to concave in the sloughs and smooth to convex on the low dune like ridges. Surface layer is typically dark brown fine sand about 6 inches thick. The underlying material extends to a depth of 80 inches or more. The water table is between depths of 10 to 40 inches for 2 to 6 months or more and is within a depth of 60 inches for most of the rest of the year. Available water capacity is very low and permeability is very rapid. Pompano Variant-Kaliga Variant (35) - This association consists of very poorly drained soils in tidal mangrove swamps in the Indian River. Kaliga is generally in the center of the swamps where organic material is the thickest and Pompano is on the outer edges. The surface layer of Kaliga is black muck about 35 inches thick which has high available water capacity and slow permeability. The water table is at or above the surface for most of the year. The occurrence of hydric soils is one characteristic used to define wetlands. According to the Hydric Soils of Florida Handbook (Florida Association of Environmental Soil Scientists, 1995), Beaches and the Pompano Variant-Kaliga Variant association are considered hydric. 4.0 WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS The presence or absence of wetlands was determined using the State unified methodologies in accordance with Chapter 62-340, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) and the 1987 Corps of Engineers Field Guide for Wetland Delineation. These methods take into account the prevalence of wetland vegetation, hydric soil indicators, and wetland hydrology. Surface waters include both natural and man-made bodies of water, such as streams, lakes, ponds, canals, and ditches. Aerial interpretation, ground truthing, and soils information were utilized in order to determine if wetlands were present onsite. FL UCFCS 612 - Mangrove Swamps (13.4 + acres) There are two mosquito impoundments located east of AlA that are managed by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District. The mosquito impoundments are separated from a saltwater basin "Joe's Pond" by a man-made berm. Joe's Pond is not part of the subject site. The onsite mosquito impoundments have no direct onsite connection to the IIZL. The species observed in the impoundments are red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), white mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa) and black mangroves (Avicennia germinans). There is a mosquito impoundment and a mangrove swamp within the western portion of the project area that are connected to the IRL, via an offsite culvert. These mosquito 4 impoundments are predominantly composed of red mangroves, black mangroves and white mangroves. 5.0 JURISDICTIONAL CONTROL KHA initiated coordination with numerous state and federal agencies for the project site as part of the Environmental Resource Permit process. These agencies include the FDEP, FWC, USFWS, EPA, NMFS, ACOE, and the SHPO. The project site contains approximately 13.4 acres of wetlands. Based on the configuration of the site, wetland impacts are unavoidable, but have been minimized to the extent practicable with access roadway impacts only. Since impacts to wetlands are unavoidable, the activities will be permitted through applicable agencies. This will require a Federal Dredge and Fill Permit from the ACOE and an ERP from the FDEP. Any structures east of the 1988 Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) require a CCCL permit. A CCCL permit application has been submitted to FDEP Beaches and Coastal Systems. The individual lot owner will be required to obtain a CCCL permit in accordance with the permit issued to the subdivision. 6.0 BUILDING ELEVATION A copy of the available Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Maps is attached as Figure 5. The project site is located on the FEMA FIRM number 12111CO194 G, revised November 4, 1992. The majority of the site is in Zone AE with flood elevations raging from 7 to 10 feet during the 100-year storm depending on the location within the project site. The easternmost portion of the site is located in Zone VE (EL 12), where the area is a flood zone with velocity hazard (wave action) and the base flood elevation has been determined to be 12 feet. Houses will be constructed in accordance with the FDEP Coastal Construction Control Line Program and the Florida Building Code. 7.0 STORM OVERWASH/DUNE BREACHING The beach community comprises 4.4f acres of the project site and is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the impounded mangrove swamp. The dune has experienced significant erosion from wind and water. This has resulted over -wash and the western migration of sand into the mosquito impoundment. The dune restoration phase of the projectwill enhance the beach/dune area by removing invasive exotic vegetation (Australian pines) and replanting the dune system (1978 CCCL to MHW) with native species. The restored dune system will be 7.1 acres. 8.0 FEDERAL AND STATE PROTECTED SPECIES SURVEY FNAI determined that portions of the site appear to be located on or near Potential Habitat for Rare Species. This potential habitat is associated with the known occurrence in the vicinity of Johnson's seagrass (Halophia johnsonii), leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), green turtles (Chelonia mydas), and loggerhead turtles (Caretta Caretta). Johnson's seagrass potentially grows in the saltwater basin and the adjacent IRL, which are not within the limits of construction. Based on FWC's website, documented turtle nesting has occurred onsite. During field reconnaissance with the USFWS turtle tracks were observed on the site and nesting occurs on the beach. The Burrowing four-o'clock (Okenia hypogaea) is a State listed endangered plant and is listed by FNAI as occurring on the subject site in 1983. This species was not observed during the field reconnaissance. The existing area is dominated by Australian pine, other non-native and exotic vegetation, and less than one percent (1%) coverage of native plants such as buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus) and sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera). Based on observations made during site reconnaissance, it is likely that several species of state and/or federally listed wading birds utilize the site; however, no nesting was observed during the field reconnaissance. 9.0 ENDANGERED, THREATENED, AND SPECIES OF SPECIAL CONCERN Information from the FNAI website, a listing of federally and state listed species known to occur in St. Lucie County, is included in Appendix B. The FNAI, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service's Notes on Florida's Threatened and Endangered Plants and Richard Wunderlin's Guide to Vascular Plants of Florida, were consulted to assess habitat requirements for each protected species. Based on the review of FNAI and FWC data and an assessment of habitat availability, listed species may occur on the subject site. Tables 1 and 2 on the following pages summarize the listed species that may occur on the subject site based on the review of available data. 6 TABLE 1: FAUNA Potential Federal and State Listed Species in the Vicinity of the Proposed Project Area Scientific Common Federal State Notes Likelihood Name Name Status Status of Occurrence FISH Rivulus Mangrove C LS Habitat: Bay and sounds, herbaceous Low: Prefers marmoratus Rivulus wetland, lagoon, river mouth/tidal unimpounded river, Scrub -shrub wetland, Tidal high marsh flat/shore habitat in the IRL REPTILES Caretta Loggerhead LT LT Habitat: Marine coastal and oceanic High: FWC caretta waters; nest on coastal sand beaches, has often near the dune line, sufficiently documented high to avoid tidal inundation sea turtle nesting on the site Chelonia Green Turtle LE LE Habitat: Estuarine and marine coastal High: FWC mydas and oceanic waters; nests on coastal has sand beaches, often near dune line, documented sufficiently high to avoid tidal sea turtle inundation nesting on the site Dermochelys Leatherback LE LE Habitat: Oceanic waters; nests on High: FWC coriacea coastal sand beaches has documented sea turtle nesting on the site Eretmochelys Hawksbill LE LE Habitat: Marine coastal and oceanic High: FWC imbricata waters commonly associated with coral has reefs, keys, and mangroves documented sea turtle nesting on the site Lepidochelys Kemp's LE LE Habitat: Marine coastal waters, usually Low: This kempii Ridley with sand or mud bottoms; nests species rarely (rarely in Florida) on sandy beaches nest in Florida BIRDS Ajaia ajaja Roseate N LS Habitat: Usually populated in marsh Moderate: Spoonbill like areas.

The post -development peak discharge from the site must not exceed the pre -development discharge rate for the 25-year, 72-hour design storm event. The stormwater management system must provide water quality treatment equal to the greater of 2.5 inches over the percent impervious area or 1 inch over the entire project area. A combination of exfiltration trench and dry detention ponds is proposed to meet the water quality and quantity criteria. The proposed ponds will discharge to the onsite wetland which is hydraulically connected to the IRL, via a culvert under the development's entrance road. 11.0 SEA TURTLE PROTECTION PLAN (STPP) A STPP has been submitted separately. 12.0 SHORELINE STABILIZATION PLAN There are no activities proposed that would result in shoaling or erosion on or in the vicinity of the project site. Best management practices will be utilized to control erosion during construction. Erosion control measures utilized during site grading activities could include silt fences and hay bales. The proposed dune crossover was designed according to FDEP guidelines. The applicant proposes to restore the dune along the entire length of the property. The dune will also be planted with native species to the 1978 CCCL to further prevent erosion. 13.0 GOPHER TORTOISE PROTECTION PLAN No gopher tortoises or their burrows were observed onsite. No additional surveys are recommended due to the lack of suitable gopher tortoise habitat. 14.0 IMPACT ASSESSMENT 14.1 Vegetation Approximately 0.67 acres of impounded wetland containing mangroves and 11.2 acres of Australian pines will be impacted onsite by the proposed project. 14.2 Wildlife The mosquito impoundments may be utilized by wading birds, osprey, raccoons, bobcats, mangrove crabs, and land crabs. Based on observations made during site reconnaissance, it is likely that several species of state and/or federally listed 11 wading birds and sea turtles utilize the site. Potential impacts to those species will be addressed during the permitting process. 14.3 Onsite Of the 13.4 acres of onsite wetlands, 0.67 acres will be impacted. 14.4 Offsite No offsite impacts are proposed. 14.5 Impact minimization The Sunset Beach project has been modified to eliminate all 15C tier lots associated with the project. This has reduced the amount of wetland impacts associated with the project from 2.97 acres (original submittal) to 0.67 acres. We coordinated with the County engineer and the access road right-of-way has been minimized to further reduce wetland impacts. The right-of-way cannot be reduced further because of safety concerns. A hammer head turnaround has been incorporated on the north end of the project with approval from Captain Foxx of SLCFD in an effort to minimize wetland impacts. To further minimize wetland impacts, the applicant proposed to construct a vertical bulkhead along the access road and western side of the interior roadway and in some locations where the interior road is in close proximity to the existing wetlands. Construction of a vertical bulkhead eliminates a required fill slope from the limits of both the access and interior roadways to the adjacent wetlands. The applicant is also providing 1.3 acres of upland buffer. This buffer will be replanted in native upland vegetation. 14.6 Impact mitigation The applicant has met with Mr. Jim David of the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District. Based on suggestions from Mr. David, the applicant is proposing to conduct onsite mitigation, which includes the following: As part of the applicant's mitigation package, the applicant will connect existing culverts under AIA north and south of Joe's Pond to the on -site wetlands. These culverts will greatly improve the flushing in the impoundments. To further improve flushing, the applicant will fund a pump that will be operated and maintained by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District. The location and necessity of the pump will be determined by the District Director. Culverts are also being installed under the north and south berms adjacent to Joe's Pond to provide greater enhancement of the wetlands via increased flushing. The applicant proposes the removal of exotic invasive vegetation adjacent to AIA to the west and regrading and replanting, as necessary, to create a continuous wetland. Additionally, the applicant proposed the removal of exotic invasive vegetation on the uplands adjacent to AIA to the east and adjacent to the wetlands, where practicable, and replanting the buffer. 12 The proposed mitigation will not only improve the quality of the onsite and downstream wetlands, but it will also enhance the habitat for wildlife that utilizes these wetlands. Based upon the Unified Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM), the abovementioned onsite mitigation completely offsets wetland impacts; however, the applicant is proposing to buy up to 1 credit (1.0 acre) from the Bear Point Mitigation Bank in St. Lucie County. The proposed mitigation will create a net increase of wetlands in St. Lucie County. 15.0 SUMMARY • The 29.1-acre project site is located in Section 29, Township 35 South, and Range 41 East on South Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County, Florida. • The project site includes mosquito impoundments (mangrove swamp), exotic invasive vegetation and beach. The dune has eroded and the applicant proposed to restore the dune along the entire length of the property. The dune system will also be planted with native species to the 1978 CCCL to further prevent erosion. • There are approximately 13.4 acres of wetlands onsite. Approximately 0.67 acres of wetlands will be impacted by the current site plan. • 11.2 acres of Australian pines will be removed as part of this project. The applicant is providing 1.3 acres of upland buffer within the project limits. The buffer will be replanted in native upland vegetation. • The applicant has met Mr. Jim David of the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District. Based on suggestions from Mr. David, the applicant is proposing to conduct onsite mitigation, which includes the following: As part of the applicant's mitigation package, the applicant will connect existing culverts under AlA north and south of Joe's Pond to the on -site wetlands. These culverts will greatly improve the flushing in the impoundments. To further improve flushing, the applicant will fund a pump that will be operated and maintained by the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District. The location and necessity of the pump will be determined by the District Director. Culverts are also being installed under the north and south berms adjacent to Joe's Pond to provide greater enhancement of the wetlands via increased flushing. The applicant proposes the removal of exotic invasive vegetation adjacent to AIA to the west and regrading and replanting, as necessary, to create a continuous wetland. Additionally, the applicant proposed the removal of exotic invasive vegetation on the uplands adjacent to AIA to the east and adjacent to the wetlands, where practicable, and replanting the buffer. The proposed mitigation will not only improve the quality of the onsite and downstream wetlands, but it will also enhance the habitat for wildlife that utilizes these wetlands. Based upon the Unified Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM), the abovementioned onsite mitigation completely offsets wetland impacts; however, the applicant is proposing to buy up to 1 credit (1.0 acre) from 13 the Bear Point Mitigation Bank in St. Lucie County. The proposed mitigation will create a net increase of wetlands in St. Lucie County. • Threatened and/or endangered species, sea turtles and wading birds, likely utilize the site. Potential impacts to these species will be addressed during the permitting process. A STPP has been submitted separately. • Panamerican Consultants, Inc. (PCI) performed a cultural resources assessment on the site in May and October 2005. PCI concluded that 8SL15 consisted of spoil piles that were mistakenly recorded as an archaeology site. The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) concurred with PCI in correspondence dated June 2, 2005 which was previously submitted. • No significant adverse impacts are anticipated to occur as a result of the proposed project. 14 Flodda's Tpke_ St Lucie Pepper Beach St Rec Area-N Era Fod Pierce Inlet St Rec Area-W Ent A t j a n t i c = _ Fat PierceIx O c e a n O 6.� r= z F L O R I D A s1a 01=" ` soy Indian 712 S T.

NO.: 09-0581 DATE: May 6, 2009 SUBJECT: Claim by APA Emerson @ Indrio, L.L.C., Pursuant to Section 70.001, Florida Statutes ("Bert Harris Claim") BACKGROUND: On December 9, 2008, Glenn N. Smith, Esquire, sent a letter to Commissioner Lewis presenting a claim on behalf of APA Emerson @ Indrio', L.L.C. ("APA Emerson") pursuant to the Bert J. Harris, Jr. Private Property Rights Protection Act, Section 70.001, Florida Statutes. APA Emerson's claim is based on the County's enactment of Ordinance No. 07-055 (the interim TVC land development regulations). A copy of the December 9 letter with enclosures is attached to this memorandum. Pursuant to the Bert Harris Act, the County has the ability to consider the claim and render a ripeness decision and a settlement offer. In this regard, attached is a draft letter with a proposed ripeness decision and a settlement offer. As indicated in the draft letter, County staff does not believe the claim is ripe for presentation to the County. In addition, County staff does not believe that either amending the Ordinance or paying compensation to APA Emerson is warranted. RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION : Staff recommends that the Board approve the letter and authorize the Chair to sign the letter. Respe t Ily submitted a Daniel S.

LEWIS COMMISSIONER Re: Claim by APA Emerson @ Indrio, L.L.C. , Pursuant to Section 70.001, Florida Statutes ("Bert Harris Claim") Dear Mr. Smith: On December 9, 2008, you wrote to me, as Chair of the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners ("County"), to present a.claim on behalf of APA Emerson e Indrio, L.L.C. ("APA Emerson"), pursuant to the Bert J. Harris, Jr., Private Property Rights Protection Act ("Bert Harris Act"), Section 70.001, Florida Statutes. APA Emerson's claim is based on the County's enactment of Ordinance No. 07-055 ("the Ordinance"). This letter constitutes the ripeness decision and settlement offer of the County pursuant to Sections 70.001(4)(c) and 70.001(5)(a), Florida Statutes. Ripeness Decision The County understands that you felt compelled to present your client's Bert Harris Act Claim within one year from the enactment of the Ordinance. Nevertheless, we do not believe the Claim is ripe for presentation to the County or for suit within the meaning of the Act. Pursuant to the Ordinance, development of the APA Emerson property for retail/commercial use would be approved through the planned development process as set forth in Chapter XI of the County's Land Development Code. To date, APA Emerson has not presented for approval any specific plan of development for its property. Without any specific application for development approval, and given the considerable flexibility inherent in both the Ordinance and the planned development process, it would be premature to determine whether the Ordinance has significantly affected the size and scope of retail/commercial uses possible on the site. See 570.001(1), Florida Statutes Citrus County v. Halls River Dev., Inc., So.2d , 34 Fla. L. Weekly D316, 2009 WL 722053 (Fla. 5" DCA, March 20, 2009). CHRIS DEADOVSKY, District No. 1 • DOUG COWARD Disrnct No PAULA A. LEWIS, District No. 3 • CHARLES GRANDE. District No. 4 • CHRIS CRAFT, District No. 5 2300 Virginio Avenue Fort Pierce, FL 34982-5652 • (772) 462-1406 www.stlucieco.org The appraisal presented in support of the Claim assumes a level of development for retail/commercial uses, termed "Development Scenario V' That assumed development scenario is but one of many ways in which the site can potentially be planned for retail/commercial development. Notably, Development Scenario 1 appears to assume the strictest application of the Ordinance, and to disregard the considerable flexibility provided by the Ordinance by which the County may consider and approve additional and alternative lot types and lot dimensions, additional street types or modified street cross sections, minor modifications to block size standards, alternative transect boundary conditions, and various phasing alternatives. Neither APA Emerson nor the County can determine how these factors would affect every specific development that an applicant might propose for the property, or the economics of such development, until after application of the planned development process. Although the TVC Comprehensive Plan Amendments have not yet become effective, the interim regulations in the Ordinance were enacted in light of the intention expressed in future TVC Policy 3.1.2.5 that the "TVC Element shall not limit the potential densities or intensities, as established by the pre-existing Future Land Use Element." Analysis by the County planning staff shows that retail/commercial use, including two "anchor" merchants and associated, smaller retail/commercial uses of a size and scope achievable under the existing land use and zoning, can be situated on the property using the design format of, and taking advantage of the flexibility provided by, the Planned Retail Workplace (PRW) zoning classification. Moreover, this analysis shows that other design criteria that might be desirable for anchor merchants, such as minimum building size, visibility to traffic, and accessibility of parking, can be achieved within the framework of the Ordinance. While the Board of County Commissioners cannot pre -judge any planned development application that would be addressed at a public hearing, this planning exercise demonstrated the physical feasibility of such development on the APA Emerson property, applying the Ordinance. Settlement Offer At this time the County does not believe that either amending the Ordinance or paying compensation to APA Emerson is warranted. However, the County will if requested continue to work with APA Emerson to develop a site plan for the property that complies with the Ordinance and authorizes retail/commercial development of a size and scope attainable under the COM land use classification and CG zoning.

Pursuant to §70.001, Florida Statutes ("Bert Harris Claim') Dear Chairperson Lewis: The undersigned firm represents APA Emerson @ Indrio, L.L.C. ("APA Emerson"), the owner of 26 acres of real property within St. Lucie County (the "County"), located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Emerson Avenue and Indrio Road (the "Property"), and more specifically described as: The South 830.00 feet of the East 1,550.00 feet of the South 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 of Section 15, Township 34 South, Range 39 East, less the East 80 feet, the West 60 feet, and the South 60 feet for public road and drainage canal right-of-way, all lying and being in St. Lucie County, Florida. APA Emerson presents this Bert Harris Claim based upon the County's newly enacted Ordinance 07-055 (the "Ordinance"), which became effective on December 10, 2007 when the Ordinance was filed with the Secretary of State. As you are aware, by the Ordinance, the County created a Towns, Villages, Countryside Overlay Zone, which was intended to implement a new element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the County on May 15, 2006, but which has not yet become effective. The Ordinance uniquely imposes restrictions and limitations upon the uses, intensities and densities of development permitted upon the Property, which have limited or prevented altogether the realization of APA Emerson's reasonable investment -backed expectations. Submitted herewith is a bona fide valid appraisal (the "Appraisal") of the Property to reflect the diminution in value of the Property under two (2) different scenarios, reflecting two different, yet conceivable applications of the Ordinance and its limitations upon development of the Property. Because of the newly imposed limitations and requirements of the Ordinance that FTL:2993528:1 RUDEN, McCLOSKY, SMITH, SCHUSTER & RUSSELL, P.A. BOCA. RATON • CARACAS • FT. LAUDERDALE • MIAMI • NAPLES ORLANDO • PORT ST. LUCIE • SARASOTA • ST. PETERSBURG • TALLAHASSEE • TAMPA • WEST PALM BEACH Page 2 directly restrict and/or limit the use of the Property, as set forth in detail below, the Ordinance has decreased the fair market value of the Property and decreased APA Emerson's reasonable investment -backed expectations for the existing use of the Property. Furthermore, the County's action has caused a substantial and measurable loss in the fair market value of the Property, as calculated in accordance with the standards provided in §70.001, Fla. Stat. Therefore, APA Emerson presents this Bert Harris Claim to assert and preserve its rights under §70.001, Fla. Stat. Development Before December 10, 2007 Prior to December 10, 2007, APA Emerson had a reasonable expectation to use the Property as a retail center, anchored by a grocery store, based upon the current land use designation of Commercial and the current zoning designation of Commercial General (CG). Prior to December 10, 2007, APA Emerson had the right and the intention to develop approximately 184,766 square feet of retail space, based upon the plan and drawings prepared by Ken Natoli, a licensed landscape architect and a certified planner with the Houston Cuozzo Group. APA Emerson has included, in the Appraisal submitted with this Bert Harris Claim, a description of APA Emerson's reasonable investment -backed expectations in and to development of the Property prior to December 10, 2007. The representation included with the Appraisal takes into account the County's Land Development Code and effective Comprehensive Plan, existing as of December 9, 2007. As set forth in the Appraisal, as of December 9, 2007, the Property was valued at $6,189,661 million. Development Scenario 1: Rezoning to Planned Retail Workplace This Development Scenario 1 represents an evaluation of the fair market value of the Property assuming the Property is rezoned to Planned Retail Workplace (PRW). Despite the lawfully existing Commercial land use designation, the Ordinance would not permit commercial development in accordance with the CG zoning of the Property. The Ordinance requires that APA Emerson rezone the Property to PRW before commercial development would be permitted; thus, there is no development potential as of right. The County is not required to approve a rezoning; however, for purposes of this Development Scenario 1, the appraiser has made the assumption that the Property would be approved for a rezoning to PRW. Pursuant to the PRW zoning regulations in the Ordinance, the Property can be developed with 176,297 square feet of building area. The Property can be developed with various types of mixed -use building lots with no maximum lot size, but with a minimum height of two stories. Further, the Property can be developed with retail building lots up to maximum lot size of 7,200 square feet, with eighty percent (80%) lot coverage. As set forth in the Appraisal, as of December 10, 2007, the Property was valued at $3,030,686, representing a loss in fair market value of the Property due to the Ordinance of $3,158,975.

PETERSBURG • TALLAHASSEE • TAMPA • WEST PALM BEACH Page 3 Development Scenario 2: Rezoning and Land Use Change to Agricultural This Development Scenario 2 represents an evaluation of the fair market value of the Property assuming that the County approves a land use amendment to Agricultural and a concurrent rezoning to Agricultural-1 (AG-1). The Ordinance would not permit agricultural development in accordance with the existing Commercial land use or the CG zoning of the Property. The Property would have to be rezoned, and would also require a land use amendment; thus there is no development potential under the Ordinance as of right. The County is not required to approve a land use change or a rezoning; however, for purposes of this Development Scenario 2, the appraiser has made the assumption that the County would approve a land use change to Agricultural, and a corresponding rezoning to Agricultural-1 (AG-1). The Property was designated AG-1 until it was rezoned to CG. Thus, the appraiser has assumed that the Property would be able to function as a general agricultural site with limited development potential. As set forth in the Appraisal, as of December 10, 2007, the Property was valued at $649,925, representing a loss in fair market value of the Property due to the Ordinance of $5,539,736. No Development Possible Pursuant to the Ordinance, it is possible that APA Emerson is entirely prevented from developing the Property. APA Emerson cannot develop the Property for residential uses because residential development is not permitted either by the existing land use designation of Commercial, or by the Ordinance. APA Emerson cannot develop the Property for retail and/or commercial uses without rezoning the Property to PRW, which the County may not be required to approve. Lastly, APA Emerson cannot develop the Property for agricultural uses, without rezoning the Property to an agricultural zoning district, and without seeking a corresponding land use change to Agricultural, neither of which is the County required to approve. For this reason, APA Emerson herein reserves the right to assert any claim of regulatory taking that APA Emerson may have against the County, as well as any other legal and equitable claims APA Emerson may possess. This reservation of right shall not affect APA Emerson's Bert Harris Claim. Based on the foregoing, and pursuant to §70.001(4)(a), Florida Statutes, APA Emerson hereby presents this Bert Harris Claim to St. Lucie County, along with the attached bona fide valid appraisal performed by Cantrell Real Estate, Inc., seeking compensation for the diminution in fair market value of the Property as a result of the Ordinance. APA Emerson requests that it be compensated as mandated and provided by §70.001, Fla. Stat. FTL:2993528:1 RUDEN, McCLOSKY, SMITH, SCHUSTER & RUSSELL, P.A. BOCA RATON - CARACAS • FT.

The market value of the subject site following the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055 will be estimated based upon the following development constraints: 1. The Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is effective. The subject site must be rezoned, and thus there is no development potential under the current zoning as of right. St. Lucie County is not required to approve a rezoning; however, for purposes of this development scenario we have made the hypothetical assumption that the site has been approved for a rezoning to Planned Retail Workplace (PRW). The subject site can be developed with 176,297 square feet of building area; the subject site can be developed with various types of mixed - use building lots with no maximum lot size, but with a minimum height of two stories, in addition to any retail building lots with a 7,200 square foot maximum lot size; each block of development has a maximum of 2,400 linear feet. 2. The Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is effective. The subject site must be rezoned, and thus there is no development potential under the current zoning as of right. St. Lucie County is not required to approve a rezoning; however, for purposes of this development scenario we have made the hypothetical assumption the site has been approved for a rezoning to AG-1 and that a land use change to Agriculture has also been approved. Under this scenario we have assumed that the site would be able to function as a general agricultural site with limited development potential. 3. The Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is effective. There is no development potential on the subject property as a matter of right. Generally, properties with no development potential would retain minimal value as conservation or mitigation. As described above, for purposes of this appraisal, we have assumed that some form of rezoning would be approved for this property. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. G VALUE CONCLUSIONS The appraisers have been employed to estimate the difference in market value of the fee simple interest of the subject property assuming the Land Development Code of St. Lucie County has not been amended by Ordinance No. 07-055; and assuming the Land Development Code of St. Lucie County has been amended by Ordinance No 07-055. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 07-055 we have assumed the following two development scenarios. We have made the following conclusions: Loss in Value The Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is effective. The subject site must be rezoned, and thus there is no development potential under the current zoning as of right. St. Lucie County is not required to approve a rezoning; however, for purposes of this development scenario we have made the hypothetical assumption that the site has been approved for a rezoning to Planned Retail Workplace (PRW). The subject site can be developed with 176,297 square feet of building area; the subject site can be developed with various types of mixed -use building lots with no maximum lot size, but with a minimum height of two stories, in addition to any retail building lots with a 7,200 square foot maximum lot size; each block of development has a maximum of 2,400 linear feet. $3,158,975 The Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is effective. The subject site must be rezoned, and thus there is no development potential under the current zoning as of right. St. Lucie County is not required to approve a rezoning; however, for purposes of this development scenario we have made the hypothetical assumption that the site has been approved for a rezoning to AGA and that a land use change to Agriculture has also been approved. Under this scenario we have assumed that the site would be able to function as a general agricultural site with limited development potential. $5,539,736 CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 5 SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL Identification of the Appraisal Problem Historically the subject site, which contains 25.997 acres has had a land use designation of Commercial and has been zoned CG (Commercial General). This is a very liberal zoning classification intended to permit the development of a variety of commercial uses including, but not limited to, food stores, retail, restaurants, and gasoline stations. On December 10, 2007, Ordinance No. 07-055 became an effective amendment to the Land Development Code of St. Lucie County. Under this Ordinance, the subject site can no longer be developed in accordance with the CG zoning. The Ordinance would require a rezoning of the subject property. The amendment to the Land Development Code placed restrictions on use which have the effect of significantly diminishing the utility of the property. The value of the property is highly dependent upon its utility. The appraisal problem is to consider the effect of the Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 on the property's utility, its related highest and best use, and any related change in market value. Any diminishment in market value will be measured by the appraisal and used by our client, Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A., to serve as a basis for a claim under Florida Statutes Section 70.001 for* compensation due to the owner. It is our understanding that the appraisal report will be provided to officials of St. Lucie County for their consideration. Scope of Work Necessary It is first necessary for the appraiser to identify the highest and best use of the property prior to the amendment of the Land Development Code by Ordinance No. 07-055, as well as after the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055. Land planning experts familiar with the previous zoning of CG as well as the new regulations should be consulted and relied upon for information pertaining to the legally permissible uses of the property in each instance. We have been instructed by legal counsel to assume the subject property can be developed under the following two development scenarios: 1. The Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is effective. The subject site must be rezoned, and thus there is no development potential under the current zoning as of right. St. Lucie County is not required to approve a rezoning; however, for purposes of this development scenario we have made the hypothetical assumption that the site has been approved for a rezoning to Planned Retail Workplace (PRW). The subject site can be developed with 176,297 square feet of building area; the subject site can be developed with various types of mixed -use building lots with no maximum lot size, but with a minimum height of two stories, in addition to any retail building lots with a 7,200 square foot maximum lot size; each block of development has a maximum of 2,400 linear feet. 2. The Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is effective. The subject site must be rezoned, and thus there is no development potential under the CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, rNC. 0 current zoning as of right. St. Lucie County is not required to approve a rezoning; however, for purposes of this development scenario we have made the hypothetical assumption that the site has been approved for a rezoning to AG-1 and that a land use change to Agriculture has also been approved. Under this scenario we have assumed that the site would be able to function as a general agricultural site with limited development potential. After identifying the highest and best use under each of the forgoing scenarios, it is necessary for the appraiser to estimate the related market value of the site using the Sales Comparison Approach. As will be developed later in this appraisal, the appropriate unit of comparison for valuation purposes is the price paid for land per square foot of building area. This unit of comparison will measure the market value of the site as related to the utility of the property under its legally permissible uses. Finally, compute any difference in market value subsequent to the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055 from the market value of the subject site prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 07- 055. Scope of Work Performed In performing this appraisal of the subject property, the appraisers utilized the sales comparison approach to value. In applying the sales comparison approach, the appraisers: • Inspected the subject property; • Researched the market area and market conditions; • Identified the highest and best use of the subject property before the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055; • Relied on the conceptual plans and data provided by Mr. Ken Natoli, of HCG Design, to identify the square feet of commercial/retail building area that can be developed on the property before and after the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055; • Gathered information on comparable sales; • Identified any changes in highest and best use to the subject after the adoption of Ordinance No. 07-055; • Confirmed and analyzed data; • Applied data to the sales comparison approach to value; • Calculated the value of the subject property after the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055 under two development scenarios; • Identified the loss in value to the subject as a result of the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 7 DEFINITION OF VALUE Market Value in this report is defined in The Dictionary of Real Estate, (4`h edition), as: The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1) Buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2) Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests; 3) A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 4) Payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of financing arrangements comparable thereto; and 5) The price represents a normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. (p.177-178) DATE OF VALUE ESTIMATE The effective date of the value estimate is December 9, 2007 & December 10, 2007. PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED The property rights appraised herein are those of Fee Simple Interest. The Appraisal of Real Estate, (13`h edition), defines fee simple interest as: Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.

The distribution, if any, of the total value between land and improvements applies only to the use stated in this report. The separate allocations for land and buildings must not be used in conjunction with any other use or appraisal and are invalid if so used. 11. The appraiser herein, by reason of this appraisal, is not required to give further consultation, testimony, or be in attendance in court with reference to the property in question, unless arrangements have been previously made. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. E 12. Neither all, nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions as to value, the identity of the appraiser or the firm with which the appraiser is connected) shall be disseminated to the public through advertising, public relations, news, sales or another media without the prior written consent and approval of the appraiser. 13. Survey exception: Any statement of facts an accurate survey might show. 14. Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous substances, including without limitation, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum leakage or agricultural chemicals, which may or may not be present on the property, other environmental conditions, was not called to the attention of nor did the appraiser become aware of such during the appraiser's inspection. The appraiser has no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property unless otherwise stated. The appraiser, however, is not qualified to test such substances or conditions. If the presence of such substances, such as asbestos, ureaformaldehyde, foam insulation, or other hazardous substances or environmental conditions, may affect the value of the property, the value estimated is predicated on the assumption that there are not such conditions on or in the property or in such proximity thereto that it would cause a loss in value. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, nor for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. 15. Any value estimates provided in the report apply to the entire property, and any proration or division of the total into fractional interests will invalidate the value estimate, unless such proration or division of interest has been set forth in the report. 16. The forecasts, projections, or operating estimates contained herein are based upon current market conditions and anticipated short-term supply and demand factors and are, therefore, subject to changes in future conditions. 17. The value estimate applies only to the dates specified in the report. Value is affected by related and unrelated economic conditions, both local and national. Unforeseen precipitous changes in economic conditions can impact the future value of subject property. 18. The appraiser is not qualified to identify areas that may be legally defined as jurisdictional wetlands. The appraiser assumes no liability for identification of any possible jurisdictional wetland areas on the site. 19. The presence of termites or the infestation of any other types of insect was not noticed or called to the attention of the appraiser. The appraiser, however, is not qualified to test for such infestations, and the value estimated within this report is predicated on the assumption that there are no such infestations and there are no hidden damages due to such infestation. No responsibility is assumed for any such condition, nor for the expertise or knowledge required to discover them. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 10 EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS HYPOTHETICAL LIMITING CONDITIONS The Appraisal of Real Estate, (13`4 edition), defines extraordinary assumptions as: An assumption in which the appraiser presumes uncertain information to be factual. If found to be false these assumptions could alter the appraiser's opinion or conclusions. The Appraisal of Real Estate, (13`4 edition), defines hypothetical conditions as: A condition that is contrary to what exists, but the conditions asserted by the appraiser for the purposes of analysis. This appraisal report is based on the following extraordinary assumptions: Mr. Ken Natoli of HCG Design has provided the appraiser with various conceptual plans outlining the permissible development options of the subject under different plans. We have relied upon these scenarios in our valuation of the subject property and assume them to be accurate potential development scenarios. We also assume that they comply with the Land Development Code both prior to and after it was amended by Ordinance 07-055. 2. We have assumed that the subject site would be able to obtain concurrency 3. We have identified approximately 0.23 acres of wetlands on the northern boundary of the subject property. We have assumed that these wetlands will not affect the development potential of the subject property. 4. In order for there to be any commercial development at all, the subject property must be rezoned to Planned Retail Workplace (PRW). This appraisal assumes the hypothetical condition that the PRW zoning is, in fact, approved in Development Scenario 1. 5. In order for there to be any agricultural use at all, the subject property must be rezoned to AG-1 and a land use change to Agriculture must also be approved. This appraisal assumes the hypothetical condition that the AG-1 zoning and Agriculture land use is, in fact, approved in Development Scenario 2. 6. There is no development potential on the subject property as a matter of right. Generally, properties with no development potential would retain minimal value as conservation or mitigation. As described above, for purposes of this appraisal, we have assumed that some form of rezoning would be approved for this property. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 11 IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY The subject property is rectangular and contains approximately 25.997 acres, (1,132,428.39 square feet). The subject is located on the northwest corner of Indrio Road and Emerson Avenue, two miles east of Interstate 95, in St. Lucie County, Florida. The subject site is identified by the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser as real estate parcel number 1315-131-0002-000-7.

CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. MARKET AREA DATA OVERVIEW 13 A market area is defined as the area within which a subject property competes for the attention of buyers and sellers in the real estate market, and is the area in which market participants live and work. The market area may include neighborhoods (a group of complimentary land uses), districts (areas with a single predominant land use), or a combination of both. A market area analysis is performed to determine how the operation of social, economic, government and environmental forces influence property values in the specific area in which the subject property is located. Transportation routes and development throughout the market area serves as an analytical basis when determining how, and to what extent, these forces influence property values. The subject property is located in northern St. Lucie County, Florida and is located approximately 6 miles northwest of the Central Business District of Fort Pierce. The market area of the subject property has the following general boundaries: •Northern Boundary *Eastern Boundary •Southern Boundary •Western Boundary North Boulevard US 1 Orange Avenue Interstate 95 The market area consists of a mixture of uses including older and newer single-family residential, agricultural, and -light industrial properties. Transportation Direct and indirect access to the market area is primarily provided by the following roadways: • Interstate 95 — Interstate 95 is a limited -access highway that connects the subject market area to areas along Florida's east coast and the entire eastern seaboard of the United States. In the subject market, I-95 has northbound and southbound on/off ramps at Indrio Road. • Indrio Road —Indrio Road is a 3.4-mile-long east -west street serving a section of northern St. Lucie County, Florida. Its current western terminus is an interchange with Interstate 95. Its current eastern terminus is an intersection with Old Dixie Highway. At this intersection there are commercial developments including food stores and pharmicies. • Emerson Ave — An 8.5 mile -long north -south road in northern St. Lucie County and southern Indian River County, Emerson Avenue extends 8.5 miles from its northern terminus in Vero Beach to its southern terminus at Indrio Road. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 14 Kings Highway —Kings Highway is a 10-mile-long, two-lane north -south road connecting SR 70 and U.S. Route 1. The intersection with US I is the northern terminus of SR 713. Proposed Amendment to Comprehensive Plan St Lucie County is in the process of amending its Comprehensive Plan for the County. In trying to regulate future growth it developed what has become the TVC (Towns, Villages, and Countryside) Element of the Comprehensive Plan ("TVC"). However, as of December 10, 2007, the "proposed amendments" to the Comprehensive Plan had not yet become effective. The principles set forth in the Towns, Villages and Countryside Element (TVC) constitute a restrictive plan for future growth in St. Lucie County. This planning approach contains a strategy for development in the existing rural agricultural areas that the County asserts is intended to ensure that future growth is sustainable, predictable, protects and enhances the natural environment, and improves the citizens' quality of life. The TVC Element will significantly burden existing private property rights and force landowners to abide by the amended land use regulations and plan. The County has asserted that the TVC Element is intended to encourage a pattern of development that will preserve the rural character of the northern part of the county. By requiring the use of the principles of Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND), the strategy for new settlement in the undeveloped areas will require a sustainable growth pattern characterized by a mix of uses, building types and income levels as well as a pedestrian -friendly block and street network. The TVC Element applies only to the Special Area Plan for North St. Lucie County as shown on the following map. According to the proposed amendments, the subject site will be required to be developed as part of a Neighborhood Center. This requirement in the proposed amendments along with the corresponding amendments to the Land Development Code that implement the proposed amendments, further restrict development of the subject beyond what is restricted by Ordinance No. 07-055, which governs development only until such time as the proposed amendments become effective. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 24� } 15 fi y a e i - .. C rxi f Ow- r 4 may, �• $ !: R-a4j:��� "gyp i.� 4�YY'� —___ ..... _ p1 3a+:_? i_GSC, a F S Fla Gj - A CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 16 Development within the TVC area is intended by the government of St. Lucie County to do the following: • Preserve the rural character, encouraging opportunities for continued agriculture; • Offset biological and ecological impacts of new development; • Improve the water quality within the Indian River Lagoon; • Manage water comprehensively throughout the area; • Provide an interconnected system of native habitat preserves, greenways, parks, and open space; • Reduce automobile trips; • Balance housing with workplaces, jobs, retail and civic uses; • Provide a variety of housing types to support residents of diverse ages, incomes, family sizes, and lifestyles; • Create predictability and efficiency in planning and in the provision of infrastructure; • Allocate infrastructure and public service costs to provide for fiscal neutrality. Based on the TVC Element, the Neighborhoods will form the basic building block for all new Towns and Villages within the TVC area. Neighborhoods shall exhibit the following characteristics: 1. Neighborhood Size. The neighborhood size shall be scaled upon a five-minute walk radius (approximately % mile, 1,320 feet, or area of 125 acres), as measured from the Neighborhood Center. In general, each neighborhood shall have well defined edges and range from 80 to 150 acres in size, not including the land set aside for the Countryside component. The shape or form of the neighborhood is flexible and responds to physical or geological conditions, provided that the maximum '/ mile radius benchmark for scale is generally maintained. For example, proposed development within a Net Developable Area of 200 acres should create two distinct neighborhoods. 2. The Transect. A Neighborhood shall contain a mix of uses including residential, retail, office, civic and recreation spaces that support the daily needs of its residents within walking distance. Varying uses shall be organized in the Neighborhood based on the Transect, which is composed of a hierarchy of zones including the Countryside, Neighborhood Edge, Neighborhood General, and Neighborhood Center zones, and in the case of developments with multiple neighborhoods, the Neighborhood Core zone. The Transect promotes a wide cross section of uses, densities and building types and depicts their appropriate location in clearly defined zones: a. Neighborhood Edge. The Neighborhood Edge is primarily a detached single- family area with larger lots and less density than the other zones. b. Neighborhood General. The Neighborhood General is one of the larger areas in a Neighborhood, allowing some small businesses compatible with the primarily residential character of the zone. A mixture of single-family homes on various lot sizes, attached townhouses, apartments, bed and breakfast tourism homes and some live -work units is appropriate. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 17 c. Neighborhood Center. A neighborhood center is between 80,000 and 150,000 square feet of building area and averages 100,000 square feet of building area in size anchored by a grocery store. The Neighborhood Center is the recognizable nucleus in the form of a public or civic focal point. The public or civic focal point may be a publicly owned square, park, green or plaza, in combination with a school, library, museum, place of worship, community center, farmer's market or small-scale neighborhood retail uses. The Neighborhood Center provides a natural gathering place for the community and is lined by the fronts of buildings for spatial definition as well as for the increased safety afforded by the resulting natural surveillance opportunity. The Center is compact and appropriate for multi -story attached buildings designed to accommodate a range of uses over time. Shops with offices or apartments in the upper stories, live/work units and higher density residential types are all appropriate in the Neighborhood Center. The Neighborhood Center is within walking distance of and accessible to all neighborhood residents. d. Neighborhood Core. The Neighborhood Core is the densest, most active zone of the Transect, supported by at least two neighborhoods usually occurring along a major thoroughfare or at a major intersection. The Neighborhood Core has the more intense retail and office uses and may include targeted industry employment uses. 3. Variety of Housing Types. A Neighborhood shall provide a variety of housing types and prices that support a broad range of family sizes and incomes. Housing types are defined by building types such as single-family, multi -family, townhouse, mixed -use, etc. and are distributed throughout the neighborhood in relation to the. principle of the Transect. The Neighborhood provides home -ownership as well as rental housing opportunities in an integrated manner. 4. Civic Uses. Each Neighborhood shall contain at least one Civic building. Civic buildings shall be sited on locations of high public visibility and prominence, usually within or around public Open Spaces, or at the termination of vistas. Fire Stations and Police Stations are encouraged to provide community meeting rooms to enhance their public character. Towns or Villages that are required to provide a school shall locate the school onsite. 5. Walkable Blocks. Blocks shall be scaled to accommodate a variety of building types and encourage pedestrian traffic. Such typical block dimensions range between 300' — 500' on a block face and do not exceed 750' on any single block face. Single blocks shall not exceed a total perimeter distance of 2,500'. 6. Proper Building Placement. Building types of like scale, massing, and uses shall face one another on a given street. To provide a harmonious transition, differing building types may be placed back-to-back on a single block. The primary entrance of every building shall directly face a street, a square, a park, a plaza, or a green. 7. Street Network. Neighborhoods shall have an interconnected network of public streets designed to balance the needs of all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists and motor CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. vehicles. A hierarchy of streets shall be provided in the neighborhood so that larger streets accommodate larger buildings and wider sidewalks while smaller streets have smaller buildings and sidewalks. Streets and buildings shall be designed so the building height facing the street is proportional to the width of the street. Alleys are required in the mixed use areas of the neighborhood to provide access for rear -loaded parking, municipal services, and loading and unloading of goods, which allows the street to be more safely used by pedestrians and bicyclists by reducing conflicts with vehicles. Alleys are required for townhouse development. In residential areas, alleys are encouraged, but not required, to accommodate parking and to provide private entrances and parking for rental units located behind single-family homes. Where alleys are used to provide rear access, buildings shall have secondary entrances, lighting and sufficient window openings to provide natural surveillance. 8. Mix of Uses. Neighborhoods shall support varying amounts of mixed use located within the appropriate area of the Transect within suitable building types. Different neighborhoods have diverse characters, which support varying amounts of mixed use; however, every neighborhood should support residential uses, a civic site, and at least one Local Store. 9. Countryside. A significant amount of Open Space is designated for the Countryside as an integral component of the settlement pattern to: a. support and enhance the rural character; b. preserve and restore native habitats; c. provide opportunities for sustained agriculture; and d. help mitigate the biological and ecological impacts of new development. Ordinance No. 07-055 (the "Ordinance" By the Ordinance, the County created a Towns, Villages, Countryside Overlay Zone that was intended to implement the proposed amendments to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, even though the proposed amendment has not yet become effective. The TVC Overlay has the same boundaries as the TVC area proposed by the TVC Element. Under the Ordinance, a Town or Village cannot be developed on the subject site because the subject site is not of sufficient size, nor has the subject site been allocated any residential density by the Ordinance or the underlying future land use designation. To develop retail and/or commercial uses outside of a Town or Village, the Ordinance requires that the subject site be rezoned to Planned Retail Workplace (PRW). As noted earlier in this report, this appraisal assumes that the County does, in fact, grant the PRW rezoning in Scenario 1 and alternatively grants the AG-1 zoning and Agriculture land use in Scenario 2. The Ordinance further limits the size of each building that can be developed on the subject site by restricting the types of "building lots" permitted on the subject site. Once rezoned to PRW, the subject site must be allocated to a transect zone. The Ordinance identifies the specific building lot types that can be placed within each particular transect zone. Although the Ordinance does not specify exactly to which transect zone the subject site is to be allocated, CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. we, only the "core" or the "center" transect zones appear to be applicable. The "core" and the "center" transect zones each provide which building lot types would be permitted on the subject site, and the Ordinance further provides the applicable lot size and dimensional requirements for each building lot type. In summary, in order for there to be retail and/or commercial development on the subject site, only Retail Building Lots and Mixed -Use Building Lots are appropriate. Retail Building Lots have a maximum lot size of 7,200 square feet, of which the maximum building coverage is eighty percent (80%). Mixed -Use Building Lots, however, have no maximum lot size, although there is a height minimum for this type of lot; any Mixed -Use Building Lot must include a two-story component. The various development scenarios included in this appraisal reflect the use of both Retail Building Lots and Mixed -Use Building Lots. The Ordinance further limits the uses permitted upon each type of building lot, including Retail Building Lots and Mixed -Use Building Lots. With respect to retail and/or commercial uses, only those uses permitted in the underlying zoning districts of Commercial Neighborhood and Commercial Office are permitted on the subject property. Thus, based on the Ordinance, the subject property will no longer be able to be developed in accordance with the underlying permitted uses, densities or intensities of the CG zoning district. The Ordinance identifies the uses permitted upon Retail Building Lots and Mixed -Use Building Lots, by reference to the uses permitted by the Land Development Code for the Commercial Neighborhood (CN) and the Commercial Office (CO) zoning districts. The Ordinance allows landowners to "initiate, continue, or expand agricultural uses" so long as the property has an agricultural zoning. Until September 3, 2002 the subject property had a zoning of AG-1. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that an AG-1 zoning would be appropriate on the subject site. Residential Development The "Indrio Corridor" area is located along Indrio Road in northern St. Lucie County, generally between Interstate 95 to the west and U.S. Highway 1 to the east. This area has historically consisted of orange groves and other agricultural uses, like most land in the western two-thirds of the county. The only residential development currently in this area is the Lakewood Park neighborhood, which is a mix of scattered lot homes with some newer PUD communities. Demand for housing in this area has generally been limited, due to large scale residential development in the southern portion of the county and lack of a large employment center in the northern area of the county. Housing demand in the Indrio Corridor is projected to increase substantially in the future with the approval of the Town, Village, and Countryside (TVC) Element. The TVC Element, developed by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), allows for "cluster" style development to occur over a 28 square mile area on both sides of Indrio Road. Much like the Abacoa community in Jupiter, the TVC area will include retail, office, institutional and other commercial activity in addition to a variety of residential housing types. The construction of new detached single-family homes within the market area should follow the same trend as the entire Treasure Coast market, with the amount of starts declining through CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 20 2006 and 2007, followed by an increase in 2008. The amount of new housing started in the market area will increase substantially in the long-term, as development begins to occur in the TVC area. In the near -term, northern St. Lucie County will most likely not experience a substantial increase in new housing construction, as there is enough supply in the southern portion of the county to fulfill demand. Much like the Treasure Coast, the amount of finished, but vacant lots has increased substantially over the past year, indicating a buildup of inventory. The amount of units under construction has also declined, as builders are reacting to increased supply levels and decreased demand from buyers. The amount of finished, vacant units has almost matched the amount of units under construction, indicating that demand for housing in the market area has subsided, and inventory is backing up. There are several residential developments in the subject market area. They include: Waterstone Waterstone is a planned 720 unit single-family and townhome development on Emerson Road west of the proposed Kings Cove project. Developed by KB Homes and Tiffany Homes, the community will feature 544 detached single family lots ranging on 47' to 72' lot widths and 176 townhome units on 35' wide lots. Unit sizes will likely range from 1,492 square feet to 3,296 square feet and include three to five bedrooms under one story. The 62' and 72' lots will have two car garages, with the 47' lots only having a one car garage. This community is within the designated Town, Village, Countryside overlay zone established by the Ordinance and also within the TVC area contemplated by the TVC Element. Falcon Trace Falcon Trace is a 587 unit single family development on the east side of Emerson Road, just north of the St. Lucie County Line. Falcon Trace is being developed by GL Homes in two phases. Phase 1 of Falcon Trace includes 330 homes. Phase 2 will include 257 homes. There have been 120 homes sold in Phase 1 and development of Phase 2 has yet to begin. Homes within Falcon Trace are priced from $300,000 to $500,000. Millstone Landing Millstone is a 613 unit single-family development located on the west side of Emerson Road, just north of the St. Lucie County line. Millstone Landing is being developed by Shelby Homes. There have been 160 homes sold in Millstone Landing and they are priced between $310,000 and $520,000. Portofino Shores Portofino Shores is a recently constructed 276 unit single-family community which was developed by Prime Homebuilders and located on Kings Highway north of Indrio Road in northeast St. Lucie County. The community is located within close proximity of the TVC area and one of the only new planned communities to have been recently constructed in this area. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 21 Due to concerns about the project's location, pricing for some of the units originally started in the mid $100,000 and sold extremely quickly. Since then, prices for homes within the community have increased substantially, indicating that there is a market for homes in this area. Although their sales office is closed, Prime Homebuilders is currently listing three developer units for sale. Each one of these unfurnished units includes a two car garage and the Casa Nova II model has a lake view. Prices for these remaining units are substantially higher than what was originally offered, most likely due to the fact that there is no immediate pressure to sell these last units. However, the builder has recently added a $3,000 incentive package for interior upgrades to the Casa Nova models, indicating some desire to move the remaining product. Community amenities are typical for a development of this size and include a clubhouse, pool, fitness center and multipurpose rooms. Interior amenities include ceramic flooring, vaulted ceilings, European style cabinetry and appliance package. There is an annual HOA fee of $780 per year. Commercial and Retail Commercial and retail development in the subject market area is sparse. The only significant retail center in the area is located to the east of the subject site at the northeast corner of Indrio Road and King's Highway. Indrio Crossing consists of 132,000 square feet of leaseable area and is anchored by a 48,000 square foot Winn -Dixie. A McDonald's occupies an outparcel of the Indrio Crossing center. There is a CVS Pharmacy at the southeast corner of King's Highway and Indrio Road. Conclusion The subject property is located within the Urban Service Boundary, which provides the site with access to sewer and water service, on the edge of future growth. The growth patterns indicate a westward movement and the urban service boundary line is currently at the east side of Emerson Road. The subject site is a desirable location for future development as the growth moves westward and the more heavily developed southern portion of the county is filled in. There are several new residential neighborhoods being developed in the market area. The new TVC Overlay created by Ordinance No. 07-055 imposes severe restrictions on development in the area. The outlook for the future of the subject market area is uncertain due to the uncertain status of the TVC Element and Overlay. It is possible that the growth in the County will by- pass the area encumbered by the TVC Element and Overlay. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 23 SITE DESCRIPTION The site description is a detailed listing of the factual data, which affects the site and is organized in three major groups: physical characteristics, legal/governmental factors, and locational attributes. An analysis of the factual data and its relationship to the market area characteristics that create, enhance or detract from the utility or marketability of the site is provided in the Highest and Best Use section of this report. Portions of the following site description are based upon several sources which include: (1) physical inspection of the subject property; (2) information provided by the client; and (3) information provided by the public records of St. Lucie County. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Shape and Land Area The subject site is rectangular and consists of approximately 25.997 acres, or 1,132,428.39+ square feet. The subject has approximately 1,470 feet of frontage along the north side of Indrio Road and 770 feet of frontage along the west side of Emerson Avenue. w 0 w w. - INDRIO RD ,w ,z. w O iw w w 0 1369ft CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC G' Inuess/Emss Access will be provided from the north side of Indrio Road and the west side of Emerson Avenue. Topography and Drainage The site is generally level and at road grade. However, there is a section of low-lying land along the northern boundary of the subject. Excess water on the subject flows towards this area. An inspection of the subject property revealed no apparent drainage problems. Utilities and Public Services The subject site is located within the Urban Service Boundary. Water and sewer are located along Emerson Road. Electricity is provided by Florida Power & Light. Telephone is provided by AT&T. Waste Disposal is provided by St. Lucie County. Police and Fire protection are also provided by St. Lucie County. Soil and Subsoil Conditions No report of geotechnical exploration has been provided to the appraiser. As explained in the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, no responsibility is assumed for hidden or unapparent conditions that would make the property more or less valuable. Generally, the soils appear to have adequate bearing capacities based on other nearby developments in the area. Environmental Hazards During the course of this assignment, we did not become aware of any toxic substances (or similar environmental problems) that would affect the value of the subject. As stated in the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions section of this report, the appraisers are not qualified to test for environmental hazards. We assume no adverse environmental conditions exist on the site. LEGAL AND GOVERNMENTAL FACTORS Easements, Restrictions, and Covenants An inspection of the subject property and a review of deeds recorded in the Public Records of St, Lucie County did not reveal any easements or encroachments on the subject property. Flood Hazard An examination of Federal Emergency Management Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Maps indicate the subject property is located on Map No. 12111C-0070-F, dated August 19, 1991. The map indicates the subject property lies within Flood Zone "X", an area determined to be outside the 500-year flood plain. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 25 Zoning Until September 3, 2002 the subject property had a zoning of AG-1. On this date the property was rezoned to Commercial General (CG). Permitted uses within the CG zoning district include, but are not limited to, apparel and accessory stores; beauty and barber services; eating places; finance, insurance, and real estate; food stores; gasoline service stations; health services; miscellaneous retail including drug stores, sporting goods, and florists; tax return services; motion pictures; photographic services; retail trade -indoor display and sales only; child care services; travel agencies; and veterinary services. The lot size and dimensional requirements under the CG zoning are as follows: • Minimum Lot Requirements: 20,000 square feet, with minimum lot width of 100 feet • Maximum Building Coverage: 50% • Maximum Height: 60 feet • Minimum Road Frontage 60 feet • Setback Requirements o Front: 25 feet o Rear: 20 feet o Side: 10 feet o Side Corner: 20 feet Concurrency The exceptional rate of growth experienced by the State of Florida over the past 30 years has placed unprecedented demands upon the local and state governments for schools, roads, bridges, utilities, police, fire and emergency medical services, and recreational facilities. In an attempt to address these increasing demands, and exert some control over them the Florida State Legislature passed the Growth Management Act of 1985. In brief, the Growth Management Act required all of the State's counties and municipalities to devise their own "comprehensive land use plan" which would then be used to guide and control development into the foreseeable future. The concurrency provision of the Growth Management Act mandates that new development can proceed only when the necessary infrastructure is already in existence or will be in place concurrent with the impact of the development. This new law has effectively created a "pay as you go" system of implementing new growth in a given area. If local governments are unable to meet the demands which new growth will entail, the burden will be shifted to the individual property owner or developer. This new situation impacts the valuation of real estate due to the fact that government at all levels is generally in a mode of reduced spending, and the costs related to concurrency will frequently be borne by the property owner. The concurrency provision also requires local governments to adopt level of service standards for public facilities and services. These standards are to be specified in each city's or county's comprehensive plan. Developers of proposed projects are required to satisfy level of service CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 26 requirements in all seven categories. These categories are: roads, drainage, solid waste, sanitary sewer, potable water, recreation and mass transit. Examples include total car trips and/or average speed on roadways at peak traffic hours, amount of solid waste disposal per resident, etc. If the existing level of service falls below adopted standards, or if a proposed development degrades the level of service to an unacceptable level, the previously mentioned concurrency provision will then be implemented, and a development permit will not be issued until the deficit is addressed. Developers who meet or exceed these requirements, and those projects which are grand fathered into local plans, are considered vested. New developments may be vested by gaining approvals within the one year time period between when a comprehensive plan is transmitted to the state for approval and when the concurrency management system and land development regulations based on that plan are adopted. As mentioned in the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, we have made the extraordinary assumption that the subject site can satisfy concurrency requirements. LOCATIONAL ATTRIBUTES Geographical Orientation The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Indrio Road and Emerson Avenue in northern St. Lucie County, Florida. The property is located approximately two miles east of Interstate 95 and three miles west of US Highway 1. Adiacent Land Uses The subject is located in a rural area of St. Lucie County. However, new development is planned and/or is under construction within the immediate area. The Waterstone development is located across Emerson Avenue from the subject property and upon completion will include 720 single family lots and town homes. An older commercial center is located approximately one mile east of the subject site. In addition, existing single-family homes are located east of the site on the north side of Indrio Road. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 27 HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS Highest and Best Use, as used in this report, is defined in The Appraisal of Real Estate, (12th edition), as follows: The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value, (p. 305). Market forces create market value, so an analysis of market forces that have a bearing on Highest and Best Use is critical to the valuation process. When the purpose of an appraisal is to develop an opinion of market value, the Highest and Best Use analysis identifies the most profitable use to which the property can be put. The Highest and Best Use of a specific parcel of land is not determined through subjective analysis by the appraiser; rather, the competitive forces with the market where the property is located shape Highest and Best Use. The analysis and identification of the Highest and Best Use is an economic study and a financial analysis focused on the subject property. Highest and Best Use must be reasonable, probable and proximate (i.e., likely to occur soon, if not immediately). It is not speculative or conjectural. It may or may not be the present use of the site. Highest and Best Use can change over time as external market forces change. These changes include competition, effective demand, public tastes and standard land use requirements (e.g., zoning). In addition, the character of a property may change, thereby chang- ing its Highest and Best Use. To identify the Highest and Best Use of the land as if vacant, the proposed use must meet four criteria. Those criteria are considered sequentially as follows: 1. Possible Use (Physical) - Those uses that are physically possible on the subject site or in the subject improvements, given the physical characteristics revealed by property analysis. 2. Permissible Use (Legal) - Those uses that are permitted under existing zoning and other land use regulations and controls, and under existing deed restrictions for the subject property (if applicable). 3. Feasible Use (Appropriate) - Those legally permitted and physically possible uses for the subject property, which are appropriate given the characteristics revealed by the market, and the analysis of those uses that produce any net return to the owner or positive net present value. 4. Maximally Productive Use - That appropriate or feasible use for the subject property, which will produce the highest present value. HIGHEST AND BEST USE PREMISE Highest and Best Use is the foundation on which market value rests. Most valuation studies include the basic assumption that both buyer and seller are equally well informed and are well CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. aware of the property's most profitable use. The rational purchaser, assuming no undue pressure to buy, will base his purchase offer on this most profitable use. Likewise, the rational seller, without any undue pressure to sell, will not accept an offer below the price based on this most profitable use. Therefore, the value estimate must be based on the property's Highest and Best Use. A proper test of the Highest and Best Use of vacant land must consider all logical and feasible alternative uses. However, the market usually limits the number of uses to a few logical choices. Each alternative use must first meet the tests of physical possibility and legal permissibility. The uses that meet the first tests are then analyzed to ascertain how many are financially feasible. Of those uses that are deemed to be financially feasible (i.e., those which produce an adequate return on investment), the one that produces the highest return to the land or the highest land value, is said to be the Highest and Best Use of the property. HIGHEST AND BEST USE PRIOR TO ORDINANCE NO.07-055 Physically Possible Uses The first constraint on the subject site is dictated by its physical attributes. The scope of development would be physically limited by ground coverage within its boundaries. The subject property contains approximately 25.997 acres, or 1,132,428.39 square feet. It is located on the northwest corner of Indrio Road and Emerson Avenue and is of sufficient size to accommodate most development plans that would be appropriate for a site of its size. We have provided a conceptual plan for the potential development of the site. This plan prepared by Mr. Ken Natoli of HCG Design indicates that the subject site can be developed with a commercial/retail center with approximately 184,766 square feet of building area. Legally Permissible Uses The second constraint of the use of the subject site is dictated by the legal and governmental restrictions imposed on the land. The subject property is zoned CG by St. Lucie County. The CG zoning allows a variety of commercial uses including, but not limited to, apparel and accessory stores; beauty and barber services; eating places; finance, insurance, and real estate; food stores; gasoline service stations; health services; miscellaneous retail including drug stores, sporting goods, and florists; tax return services; motion pictures; photographic services; retail trade -indoor display and sales only; child care services; travel agencies; and veterinary services. The lot size and dimensional requirements under the CG zoning are as follows: • Minimum Lot Requirements: 20,000 square feet, with minimum lot width of 100 feet • Maximum Building Coverage: 50% • Maximum Height: 60 feet • Minimum Road Frontage 60 feet • Setback Requirements CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 29 o Front: 25 feet o Rear: 20 feet o Side: 10 feet o Side Corner: 20 feet Financially Feasible Uses In order for the physically possible and legally permissible uses to be considered financially feasible, they must produce net revenue sufficient to satisfy the rate of return on invested capital required by the investor. After considering uses for the subject site, which are physically possible and legally permissible, we must consider the influence of the surrounding neighborhood land uses and the recent growth and current demand within the subject's neighborhood. We have surveyed the neighborhood to determine the types of land uses in the area. Within the immediate area of the subject site are existing residential developments including Lakewood Park, located east of the subject property, on the north side of Indrio Road. In addition to existing residential development, there are two developments under construction. Portofino Shores is a 276 unit single-family community which was developed by Prime Homebuilders and located on Kings Highway north of Indrio Road and Waterstone which is a 720 unit single-family and town home development on Emerson Road located across from the subject property. With the current residential development ongoing in the immediate area of the subject site and the future development that is planned, demand for commercial development is likely to increase. The subject, located on the corner of Indrio Road and Emerson Avenue, is ideally located to support the current and future demand for commercial development in the area. Therefore, commercial/retail development is identified as a financially feasible use of the subject property. Maximally Productive Use The maximally productive use of the subject site "as if vacant" is the use which creates the highest return to the land in the long run, and, therefore, creates the greatest overall land value. The subject is ideally located in a growing area with existing and planned residential development. The subject is of sufficient size to support a variety of commercial uses. Given these considerations, we have identified that the maximally productive use of the subject site is for development of a community shopping center with two anchor tenants including a national food store, big box retail and supporting out parcels totaling 184,766 square feet. A conceptual site plan prepared by Mr. Ken Natoli of HCG Design is shown on the following page.

We identified the highest and best use of the subject property and estimated the market value under this scenario. The valuation process includes an analysis using the Sales Comparison Approach based on a price for land paid per square foot of building area as a unit of comparison. The Sales Comparison Approach involves a process of gathering information from similar properties that have recently sold and, by direct comparisons, an indication of the value of the subject property is developed. The analysis can produce a good indication of value when there is an active market and the physical and economic aspects of each property are highly similar. Direct sales comparisons tend to best reflect the actions of buyers and sellers. The procedure reduces the sale prices of comparables to common units of comparison and, through a process of analysis and the application of judgment, a unit value for the subject property is estimated and applied. A systematic five -step procedure for applying the Sales Comparison Approach involves: Research - the market for information on comparable properties; Verify - that the data is accurate and representative of arms -length transactions; Determine - relative price units of comparison; Compare -the subject with the comparables and either adjust the comparables prices for those differences that influence value or bracket the subject property based upon the subject's relative comparability when compared to the comparables; Reconcile - the multiple value indications into a single value or range of values. RESEARCH, VERIFICATION AND UNITS OF COMPARISON A thorough search for recent sales of comparable sites was made. Some of the sources for information include public records, local real estate agents, site inspections, buyers, sellers, etc. Of the land sales that were found, only those "arms -length" transactions for sites that would be considered a reasonable substitute to the subject property were used in the valuation analysis. All of the sales were verified with the seller, buyer, or sales agent (broker) and/or attorney where possible. Verification was used to confirm data collected through research and to discover value influencing factors such as condition of sale, motivations of sale, negotiations, planned use, etc. All of the data is felt to be accurate and reliable. The unit of comparison utilized in the Sales Comparison Approach is price per square foot of building area. We have relied upon a conceptual plan by Mr. Natoli of HCG Design indicating that the subject can be developed with a density of 184,766 square feet of building area. Additionally, we have identified the proposed development densities on the comparable sales. On the following pages is a summary of the market sales we have found to be most comparable to the subject property and which have been analyzed in our valuation process. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC.

Mas. K. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 39 ANALYSIS OF LAND SALES We have analyzed the characteristics of the comparable land sales and compared them to the subject property. Characteristics analyzed include market conditions, location of the property, and size. The following sales are the most comparable to the subject property: Sale Sale Proposed Sq. $/Sq. Ft. Sq. Ft. No. Grantee Date Sale Price Acres Ft. Bldg. Bldg. Bldg./Acre 1 Indrio Road Shoppes Fla, LLC 10/9/07 $2,600,000 10.09 90,000 $28.89 8,922 2 Orange Avenue Mart Fla, LLC 10/5/07 $4,750,000 19.19 141,481 $33.57 7,373 3 Orange Avenue Shoppes 10/24/06 $9,500,000 33.70 229,412 $41.41 6,807 All of the sales were the result of arm's-length negotiations between buyer and seller and were consummated on cash terms or its equivalent. Therefore, no adjustments were necessary for conditions of sale or financing. MARKET CONDITIONS Paired sales analysis reveals no clear pattern of change in market conditions during the time period of the sales analyzed for sites of similar size to the subject. Therefore, no adjustment for market conditions has been applied to the comparable sales. SITE CHARACTERISTICS Proposed Density We have studied the market and identified that the density of retail developments is typically in the range of 7,000 to 7,500 square feet of building area per acre. The subject is proposed to be developed to a density of 7,108 square feet of building area per acre. Sale No. 2 is proposed to be developed to a density of 7,373 square feet of building area per acre. These densities are very similar and therefore, no adjustment for density is necessary. Sale No. 1 is proposed to be developed to a density of 8,922 and sale No. 3 is proposed to be developed to a density of 6,807. Paired sales have indicated that a positive adjustment of 15% is appropriate for Sale No. 1 and a negative adjustment of 15% is appropriate for Sale No. 3 due to the difference in proposed density as compared to with the subject's planned development density. Location All of the sales are located in northern St. Lucie County and are zoned CG for commercial use. The locations are very similar to the subject, and we were unable to identify a premium for location for any of the comparable sales. Therefore, no adjustment for location was necessary. The adjustments outlined above are depicted on the grid on the next page: CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, MC.

These sales reflect a mean of $34.00 per square foot of building area. We have analyzed the sales and compared them to the subject property. Sales Nos. 1 and 2 are the most recent sales and are considered most comparable to the subject as of the date of value. Some weight has been placed on Sale No. 3. Based on this analysis, we have concluded a unit value of $33.50 per square feet of building area for the subject property. Therefore, the value of the subject property as of December 9, 2007, before the effectiveness of Ordinance 07-055, is: 184,766 sq. ft. of bldg. area x $33.50 per sq. ft. of bldg. area $6,189,661 CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 41 VALUATION ASSUMING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY HAS BEEN AMENDED BY ORDINANCE NO. 07-055 On December 10, 2007, the Land Development Code of St. Lucie County was amended by Ordinance No. 07-055. Ordinance No. 07-055 eliminated the ability of APA Emerson @ Indrio, LLC to develop the property in accordance with the CG zoning and applies restrictive land development regulations, decreasing the development potential of the site. We have been asked to estimate any loss in market value to the subject property as a result of Ordinance No. 07-055 under the following two development scenarios: 1. The Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is effective. The subject site must be rezoned, and thus there is no development potential under the current zoning as of right. St. Lucie County is not required to approve a rezoning; however, for purposes of this development scenario we have made the hypothetical assumption that the site has been approved for a rezoning to Planned Retail Workplace (PRW). The subject site can be developed with 176,297 square feet of building area; the subject site can be developed with various types of mixed -use building lots with no maximum lot size, but with a minimum height of two stories, in addition to any retail building lots with a 7,200 square foot maximum lot size; each block of development has a maximum of 2,400 linear feet. 2. The Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is effective. The subject site must be rezoned, and thus there is no development potential under the current zoning as of right. St. Lucie County is not required to approve a rezoning; however; for purposes of this development scenario we have made the hypothetical assumption that the site has been approved for a rezoning to AG-1 and that a land use change to Agriculture would also be approved. Under this scenario we have assumed that the site would be able to function as a general agricultural site with limited development potential. DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO 1 Under Development Scenario 1 the subject site can be developed with 176,297 square feet of building area; the subject site can be developed with various types of mixed -use building lots with no maximum lot size, but with a minimum height of two stories, in addition to any retail building lots with a 7,200 square foot maximum lot size; each block of development has a maximum of 2,400 linear feet.. A conceptual site plan of Development Scenario 1 prepared by Ken Natoli of HCG Design is shown on the following page. CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 3(1N3A0' NO5?13W3 a 0 �Z h M I i N 0 0 �o u O x Q B r: Q CS o O oc aaaZZZiii000 a � O M a w � � 42 CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 43 As indicated on the site plan, the development potential of the site has been restricted by the Ordinance. This includes: • Limiting the site to only one anchor tenant with a maximum of approximately 44,095 square feet; • Requiring the site to be developed with approximately 132,202 square feet of smaller strip retail uses; • Requiring the parking to be located in the interior of the site as opposed to in front of the buildings; • Limiting the view of the buildings not located along Indrio Road and Emerson Avenue; • Requiring development with the use of blocks, where each block is limited to 2,400 linear feet. Based upon our analysis of the site plan prepared by HCG Design and our review of the Land Development Code as amended by Ordinance No. 07-055, we have concluded that the subject is restricted to a development plan more consistent with an urban infill setting. For this type of development to succeed it is typically necessary for there to be a large residential base in the immediate area and a small supply of retail land available. This is not the case for the subject property as of the date of value. Based on our understanding of the market demands we have concluded that this type of development is not financially feasible as of December 10, 2007 and is not the current highest and best use of the subject property. We have concluded that the highest and best use of the subject site under Development Scenario 1 is to hold for investment for seven years until demand can support this type of retail and/or commercial use. Then the subject property might be developed in accordance with Ordinance No. 07-055 as depicted in the conceptual site plan prepared by HCG Design. If sufficient demand were in place, we conclude that the unit value of $33.50 per square foot identified in the land valuation before the Code was amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 would be appropriate for the subject property. Because there is not sufficient demand to support this type of development, it is necessary to estimate the present value of the property under Development Scenario 1 from when demand is expected to be sufficient to support development. We have forecasted that sufficient demand for Development Scenario 1 will not be available for seven years from the date of value. We have utilized the fourth quarter publication of the Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey to derive an appropriate discount rate to identify the current market value of the subject. Based on our analysis and the data contained in Korpacz we have concluded that a discount rate of 10% is appropriate to estimate the present value of the subject under Development Scenario 1. Therefore the value of the subject property as of December 10, 2007, assuming Development Scenario 1, is as follows: $33.50 per sq. ft. bldg. area x 176,297 sq. ft. _ $5,905,950 Present Value of $5,980,186 @ 10% over 7 yr. holding period = $3,030,686 CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. Loss in market Value Under Development Scenario 1 As previously described in this report, we have estimated that the value of the subject property as of December 9, 2007, assuming that the Land Development Code of St. Lucie County had not been amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is $6,189,661. Therefore the loss in value to the subject property as a result of the effect of Ordinance No. 07-055 under Development Scenario 1 is as follows: Market Value before the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055 $6,189,661 Market Value after effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055 under Development Scenario 1 $3,030,686 Loss in Market Value due to effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055 $3,158,975 DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO 2 Under Development Scenario 2 the land development code as amended by Ordinance No. 07- 055 is effective, but the TVC element of the comprehensive plan amendment is not effective. The subject site must be rezoned, and thus there is no development potential under the current zoning as of right. St. Lucie County is not required to approve a rezoning; however, for purposes of this appraisal we have assumed that the site would be approved for a rezoning to AG-1 and that a land use change to agriculture would also be approved. Under this scenario we have assumed that the site would be able to function as a general agricultural site with limited development potential. We have identified four sales for comparison to the subject under this scenario. These sales were analyzed on a price per acre basis. A summary of the four sales is shown on the following pages.

CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 9x ANALYSIS OF LAND SALES We have selected four sales for comparison to the subject under Development Scenario 2. The four sales are summarized as follows: Sale No. Grantee Sale Date Sale Price Acres $/Acre 1 Gator Bait Development, LLC 3/8/07 $520,000 20.00 $26,000 2 Stewart Land 4/21/06 $1,969,800 80.00 $24,623 3 Mya Corporation of Melbourne 8/15/05 $1,000,000 40.00 $25,000 4 Joseph Miller 3/23/05 $1,000,000 38.40 $26,042 The four sales range from March 2005 to March 2007 and indicate a range of value for the subject property of $24,623 to $26,042 per acre. Based on our analysis we have concluded a unit value for the subject property under Development Scenario 2 of $25,000 per acre. Therefore, the value of the subject property under Development Scenario 2 as of December, 10 2007 is as follows: $25,000 per acre x 25.997 acres = $649,925 Loss in market Value Under Development Scenario 2 As previously described in this report, we have estimated that the value of the subject property as of December 9, 2007, assuming that the Land Development Code of St. Lucie County had not been amended by Ordinance No. 07-055 is $6,189,661. Therefore the loss in value to the subject property as a result of the effect of Ordinance No. 07-055 under Development Scenario 2 is as follows: Market Value before the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055 $6,189,661 Market Value after effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055 under Development Scenario 2 $ 649,925 Loss in Market Value due to effectiveness of Ordinance No. 07-055 $5,539,736 CANTRELL REAL ESTATE, INC. 51 MARKETING TIME ESTIMATE Based on our investigations, the marketing period is estimated to be twelve months at the above estimated market value conclusion. This appraisal does not imply that this value will necessarily be constant over the projected marketing period. REASONABLE EXPOSURE TIME According to Statement on Appraisal Standards No. 6 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of The Appraisal Foundation, exposure time is defined as: The estimated length of time the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal; a retrospective opinion based on an analysis of past events assuming a competitive open market. Thus, a reasonable exposure time is not synonymous with a marketing time estimate, as it is assumed to have occurred prior to the date of valuation. Inherent in the market value estimate is not that it will sell within the estimated marketing time, but that it would have sold assuming prudent marketing within some reasonable exposure time prior to the valuation date. In this instance, we have concluded that the reasonable exposure time occurring prior to the date of valuation that would have resulted in a contract of sale at the market value estimate would have been approximately twelve months.

Board of County Commissioners Faye W. Outlaw, County Administrator FROM: Daniel S. McIntyre, County Attorney C.A. NO.: 09-0674 DATE: May 27, 2009 SUBJECT: City of Fort Pierce Resolution 09-23 Initiating Development of an Interloca) Service Boundary Agreement with the City of Port St. Lucie pertaining to Properties North and West of Midway Road BACKGROUND: Attached is a copy of an agenda item and background material prepared by Anne Satterlee , Communications & Marketing Manager for the City of Fort Pierce. The background material includes a copy of City of Fort Pierce draft Resolution 09-23. The resolution proposes to initiate the process for negotiation of an interlocal service boundary agreement with the City of Port St. Lucie. The issues identified in the draft resolution are: (1) issues concerning planning, annexation and service delivery for the area identified in the map attached to the resolution; (2) establishing Midway Road as the natural, geographical, and agreed boundary line for future annexations and utility service by either city; and (3) discuss improving coordination of transportation concurrency impacts on each jurisdiction's transportation network including collection of proportionate fair share payments. According to City Attorney Rob Schwerer, the City of Fort Pierce Commission adopted Resolution 09-23 on April 6, 2009. Mr. Schwerer also indicated that the City of Fort Pierce had not received a response yet from the City of Port St. Lucie. DISCUSSION: Under the provisions of Section 171.203(3), Florida Statutes, the County has the option of requesting to participate in the negotiations between the two cities. One of the reasons that the Board may want to consider participating is that the issue of the provision of utility services north of Midway Road has been raised as one of the three issues identified by the City of Fort Pierce. Since this is the County's utility service area, the County presumably would have an interest in making sure its rights are protected. Even if the County cannot come to an agreement on a joint interlocal service boundary agreement, the County would have a place at the table to hear what is going on and have an opportunity to intervene if the County's interests are being impacted. Attached for Board consideration is a copy of draft Resolution No. 09-176 which, if adopted, would express the Board's desire to participate in the discussion and negotiations between the City of Fort Pierce and the City of Port St. Lucie pursuant to City of Fort Pierce Resolution No. 09-23 and other issues raised by the City of Port St. Lucie in a responding resolution. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution No. 09-176 and authorize the Chair to sign the Resolution. ully submi Dani6l S.

MAYOR MMISSIONER ATTEST: Appr ed a to Form and Correctness: By: CITY CLERK CIT ATTO Y (CITY SEAL) MINUTES OF A SPECIAL JOINT MEETING OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AND THE PORT ST. LUCIE CITY COUNCIL, HELD IN THE FORT PIERCE CITY HALL, 2ND FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM, 100 NORTH U.S. $1, FORT. PIERCE, FLORIDAI AT 10:00 A.M. ON FEBRUARY 12, 2009. Mayor Benton called the meeting of the Fort Pierce City Commission to order at 10:10 a.m. Mayor Christensen called the meeting of the Port St. Lucie City Council to order. Upon Roll Call, those present for the Fort Pierce City Commission were: Mayor Robert Benton; Commissioners Rufus Alexander and Christine Coke; City Manager David Recor; City Attorney Rob Schwerer; and City Clerk Cassandra Steele. Those absent: Commissioners Edward Becht and Reginald Sessions. (Commissioner Sessions arrived at the meeting at 10:40 a.m.) Upon Roll Call, those present for the Port St. Lucie City Council were: Mayor Patricia Christensen; Vice Mayor Jack Kelly; Councilwoman Linda Bartz and Councilman Christopher Cooper; City Manager Don Cooper; and City Attorney Roger Orr. Those absent: Councilwoman Michelle Berger. Fort Pierce Staff present: Jack Andrews, City Engineer, Jon Ward, FPRA Director; Anne Satterlee, Communications & Marketing Manager; Marc Meyers, Building Official; Erica Ehly, Comprehensive Planner; Paul Williams, Urban Forester; and Bill Thiess, FPUA Director. Port St. Lucie Staff present: Assistant City Manager Greg Orabec; Assistant City Manager Gerry Bentrott; Daniel Holbrook, Planning & Zoning Director; and Jesus Merejo, Director of Utilities. The purpose of the Special Joint Meeting was Discussion regardinu Annexation of The Provences Development located in the 'northwest quadrant of I-95 and north of Midway Road and Discussion on issues of mutual concern - Annexation Utilities Roads, e Mayor Benton said he wants to thank the Port St. Lucie City Council for coming up here and joining them today. Mayor Christensen and he have discussed for a couple of months this annexation of The Provences that is in front of the Port St. Lucie City Council and their Planning & Zoning Board. Some of them have been around a long time remember they had a Gentleman's Agreement for many years when it comes to utilities and annexations, with Midway Road being the dividing line. The City of Fort Pierce had some concerns when they saw The Provences on Port St. Lucia's agenda. This is the first chance they have had to get everybody to the table to discuss it. He thinks they are really here today to try to reaffirm this Gentleman's Agreement they have had in the past. He will open it up to everyone. But he knows that was the City of Fort Pierce's concern, that it was on their agenda, and they are very concerned about the area north of Midway Road. Mayor Christensen said she is not sure if Staff is prepared to give any presentations or anything. But she was aware of the fact that this goes back to probably the early to mid 1990's. Was there any discussion at any time of a formalized agreement to determine where the boundary lines would eventually end up? City Manager Cooper said the only discussion he ever had was with Bo Powell (former Fort Pierce City Manager) concerning the utilities at that time, not a discussion about annexations. They have the Joint Planning Agreement with St. Lucie County - which is much to do about nothing - which Port St. Lucie signed off, but the County didn't. That is really all that is out there. RF-CEE9VE® TIME MAR 1 0 2009 CITY OF FT. PIERCE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 Mayor Christensen said that Joint Planning Agreement was the one several years ago that they asked them to formalize. City Manager Cooper said Port St. Lucie did and the County didn't. Mayor Benton said he knows there was some discussion years ago about the Alzheimer's facility down there when Fort Pierce Utilities Authority provided water on the south side of Midway Road. He thinks that is what brought everybody to the table. Fort Pierce has agreed since then to stay on their side. So everyone knows, the City of Fort Pierce and the City of Port St. Lucie always got along very well. It has just been many years since they have sat down at the table and discussed issues. Commissioner Coke said she was thinking this was a rather informal kind of meeting, so she is surprised to see everybody here. Part of the reason that she wanted to get together as the two bodies here and have a discussion was not only this project in pagticular. She knows that six or seven years ago when there were some concerns about Indian River Estates and all kinds of other things, there were three entities and everybody was getting pitted against each other. The ten of them sat down and they agreed what they felt was beneficial to both the City of Fort Pierce and the City of Port St. Lucie. Having that understanding took the third party "he said, she said" kind of thing out of the mix. They did that six or seven years ago and she walked out of• that meeting faith the understanding that they had kind of agreed on Midway Road and that they would go from there. She thinks Jack Kelly and she pushed to have that meeting back then. She felt from that meeting forward there was much better communication between the two entities, and there was no middle person involved trying to let them know what was going on, they could just communicate directly with each other. So she had concerns when she saw this, because she knew when they had that meeting down. in Port St. Lucie, that they had kind of agreed that Midway Road was the line. She thought before they get their noses out of joint, they should sit down and talk to them about it. Vice Mayor Kelly said part of his concern - speaking for himself, but he knows others expressed the same feelings - the Provences Annexation is not an issue for him. It is north of Midway Road. He doesn't know how long the Gentleman's Agreement has been there, but he wouldn't want to go north of Midway Road anyway. He thinks the issue is really a utility issue. He has heard others on his Council say the same thing. But he is speaking for himself. If he is incorrect, the others• can tell them. As far as they are concerned, here is Midway Road - north of Midway Road, Fort Pierce takes care of the utilities; south of.Midway Road, Port St. Lucie takes care of the utilities. They do everything to help each other. If they need a Bulk Water Agreement for awhile, he doesn't want to do it forever, but that is fine with him if they just cooperate. Make it a regional deal, north and south regional, 'and just cooperate. That is what he always thought it should be, and he has heard others on his Council say the same thing and he heard Fort Pierce say it. Port St. Lucie's utility is way ahead. They have arguably one of the best utilities in the State of Florida. Fort Pierce Utilities Authority could be better than Port St. Lucie's some day, they are in the electric business, they are experienced. The County doesn't really have a utility - a very small or no utility. He knows there are County Commissioners who don't want to be in the utility business and some do. But that is 2 Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 neither here nor there. He thinks the annexation is a non -issue. He knows it is coming before the Planning & Zoning Board and it is premature; but he has already expressed his feelings about it. Commissioner Coke asked they should yell at the developer? Vice Mayor Kelly said no, the developer is doing the best they can. It is a non issue for him. He thinks it is all about the utilities. It is pretty simple. The reason he doesn't want to do a long-term Bulk Water Agreements is, it is about the wells. Fortunately they have thought ahead, because their city is going to become 250,000 people. Those wells are going to be important because the water wars are coming. If Fort Pierce wants to go ahead and take care of the north and the County agrees, that is what they do. But they have to get their own well permits. He doesn't want to give up those wells they have now for the future of the blty to be used for long-term Bulk Water Agreements. That is how he feels about it. The Provences Annexation is a non -issue for him. Mayor Christensen said she would agree that utilities obviously is the issue; but she thinks they also have to look at the impacts that any development on the north side of Midway Road has on the total infrastructure of the City of Port St. Lucie on the south side of Midway Road. The Provences is a big development. There are going to be other developments that are going to come along in the future. Her biggest concern is whether it stays in the County or it is in the City of Fort Pierce or even in the City of Port St. Luce, what those impacts are going to be to the already existing infrastructure, not just utilities. The developers that have annexed into the City of Port St. Lucie have obligated to pay for the road infrastructure. But now they have this development that is going to come in - what is their contribution going to be? Because they are going to have impacts. They are going to have impacts on their parks system, because this is right on their border. They are eventually going to have parks in that area and a number of other things. They are going to be right on their border. How is police protection going to serviced? So there are many issues that need to be determined, utilities being the major one. But still, any of those developments on the north side of Midway 'Road, how are they going to impact and how will they contribute toward those impacts they will have on Port St. Lucie's services? Vice Mayor Kelly said their Staff's recommendation, on Page 5 of 5 (Memorandum from Planning & Zoning dated January 7, 2009) it says: "Objective 9.1.2 of the Capital Improvements Element requires new development to bear 100 percent of the costs of facility improvements necessitated by the development. Until the departments responsible for maintaining level of service requirements have completed their review and made recommendations as to the conditions that should be included in the annexation agreement, the Planning and Zoning Department staff finds it premature to support this proposal." But they have to pay 100%. Mayor Christensen said but that would be if they annex into the City of Port St. Lucie. If they develop in the County or they develop in the City of Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie doesn't have those assurances, and that is where her concerns come in. Vice Mayor Kelly said he is sure the Capital Improvements Element requires 100%. Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 Mayor Benton said Fort Pierce would want to do the same, as they do now with annexations and stuff that affects the County, they bring them to the first meetings when the developer comes in because they want to work along with the County. In this case it would be Port St. Lucie. They would want Port St. Lucie to sign off on the site plans, etc. before it even hits their Planning Board. They want to agree to these things. It is like the utilities, they don't have the ability to spend the capital to put the infrastructure in place for this, the developer would be required to pay for that. Vice Mayor Kelly said he is taking it for granted that all the impacts to the cities would be... The thing is, if they are going to annex it, it has got to have future advantages and benefits, on don't annex it. He is just not worried because it is a utility issue. If anybody wants to annex into their city, most of the time they want to annex because of the utilities and they come right out and say it. That is his feeling, it is a utility issue, not an annexation issue. Mayor Benton said he asked Bill Thiess (Fort Pierce Utilities Authority Director) to be here today because he knows FPUA would not have the ability right now to furnish utilities. It would be something that he is sure they could work out with Port St. Lucie to furnish utilities, as they did with Tropicana, he thinks they were already there taking care of them. So that would not be an issue with Fort Pierce because they don't have the ability. Commissioner Coke said her concern certainly was the fact that Fort Pierce needs to have a future. And if they all agree that Midway Road is the future, then she is a very happy person. She didn't really want to sit here with however many of them showed up today and try to nitpick about utility agreements, how long, bulk water, and all those other things. Her theory would be that if they can all. agree on that, then they can charge Staff and the Utilities Authority that this is what they want done, this is what needs to be done, and this is the time frame that it needs to be done in, so that Port St. Lucie feels comfortable and the City of Fort Pierce feels comfortable in order to enable them to expand to their full potential also. They don't want to do anything that is going to burden Port St. Lucie. Mayor Christensen said she would suggest that their Staffs get together and work out an Interlocal Agreement that they can bring to both Boards to address these issues to both cities satisfaction. Again, that is providing that the Provences is in Fort Pierce. Right now it is in the County. She is not sure what the process would be for it to become part of the City of Fort Pierce. They applied for annexation with the City of Port St: Lucie. They have to get through that process and then they will have to make a decision based on whatever' the final decision is by the City and move forward. But she does agree there needs to be an Interlocal Agreement or a Joint Planning Agreement. She truly wishes the County had approved the Joint Planning Agreement that the County had asked for and they discussed many times. Commissioner Coke said she doesn't think it would have helped, because Fort Pierce entered into one with the County and they haven't gotten any feedback on anything. Every time the City sends feedback to the County on something, it is completely disregarded anyway. The fact that Fort Pierce signed on the dotted line and the County signed on the dotted line, it hasn't been of any benefit Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 really to either staff or more importantly the citizens that are affected by the developments that go into both areas. Mayor Christensen said it is just the fact that the County Commissioners felt it was imperative that they have this; and when they finally come to an agreement, the County won't sign it. Vice Mayor Kelly said the Midway Road demarcation idea, he wasn't the first one to say it, Councilman Cooper has been saying that for three or four years. He doesn't know how he still feels about that, but he said that a long time ago. It is not his idea, it was Councilman Cooper's. He just bought into it. Does he still feel that way? Councilman Cooper -said he is not sure if he does or doesn't feel that way right now either. Everything changes. His concern is, he doesn't know if Port St. Lucie has the ability to service them and he doesn't know if Fort Pierce has the ability to service them. To him, it is more than the utilities. Somebody is going to have to provide police, parks and recreation. Fort Pierce doesn't have a Parks & Recreation Department; so if the County ends up doing it, then that is Port St. Lucie, they are the ones contributing the majority of the money to the County. So now he is kind of back on the fence, because it seems to him that somehow at some future point Port St. Lucie is going to be servicing part of this anyhow. They had the same problem down on St. James. The majority of the people using those parks there come from Fort Pierce, but Port St. Lucie paid for those parks. He is just throwing this out there. Does Fort Pierce have the ability to service that for other needs? It is not just a utilities issue to him. And who are they to tell the developer -which city this is going to be a part of?• It seems to him that is where they are at right now. They are going to annex into one or the other, and one or the other is going to take them, and that is a whole new problem. He agrees that splitting the County down the middle at that point just kind of opens up a whole new ball game for him. Commissioner Coke said just for information, they are in the process right... The County, not by request, just decided to give Fort Pierce all of their parks within the City. The County with no notification gave them the St. Lucie County Community, Center, which is now the City of Fort Pierce Community Center. Thank goodness Mr. Recor and Staff jumped up and they have already begun the preliminary groundwork for establishing a Recreation Department that will be operating through there. It has been his goal for seven years to have the City be in charge of their own recreation facilities. Commissioner Alexander had joined her and now Commissioner Sessions is right on board with that theory also. They are going to have to take baby steps, no doubt about it; but they will be moving forward to handle .the recreation needs. As part of that they are renegotiating the Parks MSTU. Port St. Lucie got that $29 million direct allocation from that and Fort Pierce got zero because the County was then taking care of their parks and the capital improvement that went with it. Vice Mayor Kelly asked what $29 million? Commissioner Coke said that was a direct allocation over the life of the bond the County gave Port St. Lucie. Mayor Christensen said not quite that much. Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 Commissioner Coke said that is the paperwork the County presented when they put the MSTU to a vote. Mayor Christensen said keep in mind that the County keeps playing with the millage on this, so the amount fluctuates. Commissioner Coke said but Fort Pierce got zero. The point she was trying to make was that the City of Fort Pierce got zero. However, in December 2008 they put the County on notice that they would either be withdrawing from that or they could renegotiate it with them, so Fort Pierce gets a fair percentage which would enable them to build more parks and make capital improvements' in the existing parks. Councilman Cooper said he has asked for Port St. Lucie 'to get out of that too or to renegotiate that, because he is not happy with the way that is being doled out either. Mayor Benton said -Port St. Lucie stepped up and took the lead and created impact fees and took that fight on with the County. Fort Pierce has followed, so their impact fees are slowly coming into effect. They are not putting it at 100% because of the economy. But as development does occur in these areas, at least the capital needed for items such as police substations is available, which they didn't have before. He wants to thank Port St. Lucie for taking that step with the County, because Fort Pierce isn't getting their fair share either. Councilman Cooper asked have they gotten to the point with this, like they have with the southwest annexations, where they stepped up to designate future fire station sites and school sites? Or are they premature on that? Mayor Benton said that is premature. Wouldn't that happen through the DRI (Development of Regional Impact) process? Councilman Cooper said that is still another concern. Mayor Christensen said she thinks they have actually already done that; because she knows when it went before Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, it was already done. She knows there was some discussion in regards to the school site and where the school site was located. She is sure the fire station has been addressed too. Councilman Cooper said he has seen the residential and the commercial in the paperwork, but he didn't see... Mayor Christensen said it may be that they only have to contribute dollars toward the fire district rather than designate a fire station site. She can't recall. It has been some time since she saw it at the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council. There is parks and open space. Everything is there, laid out. Vice Mayor Kelly said he wants to comment on something Councilman Cooper said. He is right, it is not just a utility issue. But predominantly, it is a utility issue. No matter what happens, this will impact Port St. Lucie because it is on their border. Maybe they will use their parks and roads and things.' But he rants to remind them, Port St. Lucie residents also use Fort Pierce Is Beaches, their boat ramps, and the Sunrise Theatre. He eats at a lot of the restaurants up here. They are neighbors, so they are going to overlap in things. Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 Mayor Christensen said but they pay County taxes for those services. Vice Mayor Kelly said he knows they do. And they come up and use them. But they ride on their roads to use them. Mayor Christensen said but these residents in the City of Fort Pierce would not be paying taxes to use the facilities in Port St. Lucie. She is not disagreeing with him. What she is saying is, there has got to be an agreement. Mayor Benton mentioned that they would be happy to sit down and come to an agreement with Port St. Lucie to address those impacts they are going to have. The developer would have to contribute monetarally towards the impacts they are going to have. Why should the Port St. Lucie developments on the south side of Midway Road pay for all of that infrastructure, when the developments on the north side of Midway Road are going to benefit from that infrastructure? She is not talking just about utilities. She is talking about roads, she is talking about future roads that will be built at some time by those future developments. Commissioner Coke asked couldn't they have a fair share contribution system they would work out? Mayor Christensen said that is what she is saying. Vice Mayor Kelly said the DRI process takes care of all that. Mayor Christensen said right now she is not sure of how much they understand what the City of Port St. Lucie has done. But with all of the developers and the land owners on the south side of Midway Road within their utility service boundaries, they have laid out a road network. Right now those roads don't exist. But before any more development took place, they wanted to ensure there was going to be a road grid to move the traffic internally, but also to get it to the main arteries. Those developers at this point have agreed to pay for that infrastructure. Commissioner Coke said Fort Pierce does that as a condition of approval. Mayor Christensen said but what she is trying to say is, the developments on the north side are going to cross Midway Road and use all of those roads. Her concern is that there should be a fair share equity in the fact that the northern development will impact the southern traffic network that has been put in place. They want guarantees that there is going to be some fair share equity. Commissioner Coke asked isn't that kind of like when they have somebody who wants to build in Fort Pierce, the County might say there is going to be an impact on a road that five or six miles away and charge them a fair share contribution toward that road? That is the same kind of thing they are talking about. Mayor Christensen said she does not know if they have ever had to deal with that. Have they? City Manager Cooper said they do it internally. Mayor Christensen said they do it internally, but they have never had any relationship with the County on anything like that. 7 Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 Mayor Benton said Fort Pierce has. They approved a development maybe a quarter of a mile north of Midway Road where the County told the developer they would have to put $1 million up towards improvements to Midway Road. He thinks this discussion will bring them even more into when and how and doing their fair share toward Midway Road, because he thinks they have been sort of out of the picture on that. He knows that has been a big concern for several years with the County and with Port St. Lucie. Fort Pierce has just been reaching out and annexing into the White City area, so he thinks they are at the table now. Commissioner Alexander said they are sister cities, they are in the same County. For them to be discussing this one project, they should be discussing their entire east to west on that corridor. His concern is with the economy today, what is the surety that they are going to have this even come to fruition? The discussion they are having now is great and it should continue on for the future. This •one project is the tip of the iceberg. It should be a collaborative effort from both Cities and the County, that is the way he looks at it. How many homes are they speaking of - 4,4007 He doesn't see that. That is just his vision of what is going on here. This is something that is going to come in and put a wedge between the two cities? He doesn't see it, because it is going to be development one day anyway. So it should not be a wedge, it should be a collaborative effort to go forth on this. Councilman Cooper said he is looking at the backup and it says 4,443 homes. Mayor Christensen said that is a combination of single and multi- family. Mr. Dennis Murphy, Culpepper & Terpening Inc., said that is the old number. The new number is 3,500 residential. Commissioner Alexander asked when does he see that becoming actuality? Mr. Murphy said residentially, not for a number of years. Non- residential, they are actively marketing it. Commissioner Alexander said again he is just putting emphasis on Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce, they should be sharing facilities. He welcomes Port St. Lucie residents to come up here and look at the string of pearls Fort Pierce has, and everything is in place already. (Commissioner Sessions arrived at the meeting at 10:40 a.m.) Mayor Christensen said don't get her wrong, she is not saying she doesn't want Fort Pierce residents to use their facilities. She is looking at the impacts for future development. She doesn't want her residents paying for infrastructure that is going to be used by Fort Pierce and the County. And she doesn't think Fort Pierce would want Port St. Lucie residents using their infrastructure without them contributing to it. Commissioner Coke said they are always going to overlap though. Commissioner Alexander said he is just again saying they welcome Port St. Lucie residents. Whether it is Fort Pierce or whether it is Port St. Lucie, they are all St. Lucie County residents. 8 Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 Everyone pays taxes in St. Lucie County regardless. But this demarcation here on Midway Road should be null and void between the cities because there should be an overlap to make some type of cohesiveness there. Mayor Benton said the presentation being made in the last few months at the Tourist Development Council with the Bahamas, the approach is that they are St. Lucie County. Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce make up the majority of the County. To sell themselves, Port St. Lucie has golf courses and Fort Pierce has the beaches. But they both have what people want and it is just working together to provide it. Councilwoman Bartz said Commissioner Alexander brings some valuable comments to the table. The fact is, they are touching the tip of the iceberg by looking at one development. There is a demarcation line. And she thinks they need to start working now on what their needs• are and future planning, as they impact each other. Right, they are all one County - residents of Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie and the County. But they need to start working together now because of the impact on all of those residents. She does agree - that what they are talking about now is just the tip. They really need to start talking about the future and what is going to happen, because there is a lot of land on Midway Road. There is a lot of development that will be going on long after their times. So if they can place some of those plans and those agreements together now for future development, she thinks they are ahead of the game. Mayor Benton said especially now, while they have a lull in the economy and the push. It was only a couple of years ago when they had so much on their plates. So now is a perfect time. He thinks amending their Comprehensive Plans, they are looking after each other. City Manager Recor said he thinks a good way to characterize the discussion they are having today is, this is nothing more than growing pains. For the longest time the City's annexation strategy has been fairly compact. But in the last year since they have aggressively stepped up their annexations, they have'started to stretch out their arms a bit and now they are touching on areas that they traditionally have not. He thinks it is good to hear that there is a general consensus for Midway Road being the boundary. He thinks both City Attorneys would agree that the Florida annexation laws encourage boundaries along major geographical boundaries - roads, rivers, water bodies, and what not - and that seems to be a logical transition. They have demonstrated through Interlocal Agreement and Joint Planning Agreement with the County where developments have impact on each other's service area, particularly in transportation and concurrency management, the willingness and reciprocation of a fair share contribution'for roads. He is hearing the same thing today. It is these growing pains that are necessitating these discussions. He thinks that is what they should be focusing on as they move forward, because the issue is much larger than just this one development. Fort Pierce is currently annexing in the area. They are but a stone's throw away from being contiguous with Provences as they speak. They have an Annexation Agreement with Wal-Mart, a deferred property tax schedule that goes into effect in 2014. The St. Lucie County Landfill property is eligible for annexation in February of this year. So they eventually will be contiguous with Provences. But he thinks the issue is, as Councilwoman Bartz pointed out, a larger issue than just this one project. Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 Vice Mayor Kelly said what they have here now, the Provences, there is really nothing to discuss and he thinks it is out of order. They are going to have it on their Agenda next week; so after that, they will know whether Port St. Lucie plans to annex it or not. Do they know what the status of that...? They had a letter two months ago from their City Manager who recommended against the annexation, pretty strongly. It is a bigger issue, everybody knows that. They are pretty experienced on these annexations. Port St. Lucie annexed 15 square miles on the Martin County line. They got upset and they voiced the same concerns that the Mayor just did. And they were straightened out in the DRI process. He has no doubt they will be straightened out even better and address their concerns because Fort Pierce is to their neighbor. So any concerns they have, they will straighten out the same way at the table, the DRI process. He thinks the Mayor already hit the nail on the head, she already asked that Staffs get together and work out something on the demarcation of Midway Road. And if they need a consensus on that... He thinks that is the issue. He is all for that, if that is what they want the Staffs to do. That will start to address the impact it is going to have on Midway Road. The utility issue has to get resolved before they can move forward with anything else. He thinks that is a big thing. The County is going to have to be involved, because they do have a utility. Most of it is north of Midway Road, right? That is the issue. If they need a consensus, he thinks their Staff s should get together, let's see what happens next week with the Provences, and then move forward with all the other annexations. It will all be straightened out by the DRI process. They are very familiar with the DRI process. Mayor Benton said that is why both Mayors decided to call everybody to the table. They felt this could be handled by Staff; but Staff decided they wanted to hear from all of the elected officials, so that is why they are all here. Send both Staffs to the table to bring something back to them that they all can agree on and get moving in the right direction. Vice Mayor Kelly said political will turns the wheels. Councilman Cooper said they are fortunate enough in the County that they only have two cities, unlike others to the south of them that have 20-plus municipalities. He thinks at some point the County will be divided and Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie will take over and the County will be pretty much put out of business except for government items they have to take care of like the jail and courthouse and things like that. That is a good thing though, because it gets rid of duplication of services. He forgets the numbers, but Jesus Merejo says Port St. Lucie produces more water in an hour than the County does in a week or something like that. It is almost ridiculous for the County to be in some of these businesses. It is good that Fort Pierce is working towards taking over their parks system, because there should only be two parks systems - Port. St. Lucie and Fort Pierce. So it is good to have conversation, trying to.work things back and forth. Midway Road has been what they have unofficially agreed on to be the dividing line and he is still good with that. He has said from day one that Fort Pierce should be north of Midway Road and Port St. Lucie should be south of Midway Road. Staffs should go back and do what they need to do to make it happen. At some point if they can make it official, then the developers will know; and they won't need to come to Port St. Lucie if they are north of Midway Road. 10 Special Joint Meeting February 12, 2009 Mayor Christensen asked is there consensus on the Port St. Lucie City Council that they have Staff work with the City of Fort Pierce? (The Council agreed.) Mayor Benton asked does Fort Pierce feel the same? (The Commissioners agreed.) Councilman Cooper said everybody says they want all of these developments to stop. There probably is a different way to do it. But if it comes into the City of Port St. Lucie, it will happen. If it goes to Fort Pierce, it will happen. If it stays in the County, it is going to happen. As much as they claim they are anti -growth and they don't want things to happen, from what he sees it is not okay for it to happen in their cities; but when they stay in the County, they allow it to happen. So they are not walking the walk, because if they were against it, then they would toe the line. But as long as they are getting a piece of the pie, it doesn't seem to matter. Commissioner Coke said she has always been a firm believer that if an area readhes a certain population density, it should become part of one of the two cities that are in the County. She really in her heart believes that benefits the County. The County should never be considering a development of this type, it is diametrically opposed to the definition of County. A development like this is in a city. Big housing developments with all that density should be in a city. I£ any development of this size or with a certain density level were part of either City, it would free up County Staff and County time and County money most importantly from planning and reviewing all these things that really shouldn't be in the County. Give the City the responsibility of what is going to be in their City eventually anyway. • That gives the County the money and the time to concentrate on the areas that are defined typically as County government such as the Sheriff's Department, the County roads, and the Court system. Mayor Benton asked do they have anything else they would like to bring to the table while they are here? Mayor Christensen asked do they want to touch on the utilities? Mayor Benton said he is the only Commissioner who sits on the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority Board, whereas the Port St. Lucie Council is their Utilities Board, So he thinks that is something their utility staffs could work out and come back to them. Mayor Christensen asked does Staff have anything else? Mayor Benton asked does Staff have anything they would like to add? They haven't heard anything from the City Attorneys, but he thinks they know each other well and get along. He thanks everyone who showed up today. There being no further business, Mayor Benton declared the meeting of the Fort Pierce City Commission adjourned at 10:55 a.m. Adjournment.

LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Daniel 5, McIntyre, County Attorney C.A. NO.: 09-0700 DATE: June 2, 2009 SUBJECT: St. Lucie County v. T&T Land - Settlement Offer BACKGROUND: On October 28, 2008, the Board adopted Resolution No. 08-314 authorizing the acquisition of a parcel owned by T&T Land, Ltd. by donation, purchase or eminent domain. Attached to this memorandum is a map outlining the boundaries of the St. Lucie County International Airport, The property owned by T&T is outlined in yellow. The property is needed to clear the line of sight to the Air Traffic Control Tower, for providing additional security and for enhancing airport safety. In addition to adopting Resolution No. 08-314, the Board also authorized staff to make an initial offer of $1,369,750 based on the 2008 Assessed Value by the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser. In determining the initial offer, the Board was presented with the following information: Amount 1. Fair Market Value based on an appraisal dated August 27, 2008 by Harry Gray, MAI $1,200,000 2. Fair Market Value based on an appraisal dated August 27, 2008 by Daniel Fuller, MAI $1,275,000 3. 2008 Assessed Value by St. Lucie County Property Appraiser $1,369,750 4. Purchase Price paid by T&T on March 23, 2005 $1,670,000 The property owner did not accept the County's offer and the County was forced to file suit in eminent domain. The County requested the Court to allow the County to obtain possession of the property immediately by issuing an Order of Taking. The Court has held two hearings on the County's request for an Order of Taking and a third hearing is scheduled for later this week. SETTLEMENT OFFER Attached to this memorandum is a copy of an email dated May 28, 2009, from William P. Doney, Esq. outlining a settlement offer from the property owner. Based on the Airport's need for the property and the value information set out above, staff does not recommend that the Board accept any of the three settlement options outlined in this email. As indicated previously, the County is attempting to convince the Court to issue an Order of Taking. Given the current uncertain status of the case, the Board may want to consider making a counteroffer of settlement. If the Board determines to make a counteroffer, Staff recommends that the Board use a modified version of the third settlement option using a floor of $1,670,000 which is the purchase price paid by the property owner in March 2005. According to Daniel D. Fuller, MAI, the appraiser the County is using at the Order of Taking hearing, the value of $1,670,000 is within the upper range of value in his appraisal. According to the Airport Director, the County has sufficient funds to pay the increased amount. DISCUSSION: In any decision of whether to accept or make a settlement offer, it is appropriate to consider a "best case -worst case" scenario. In the best case scenario, the Court would enter. an Order of Taking in favor of the County and the County would acquire fee simple title by depositing the good faith estimate of value ($1,275,000) in the Court registry. The final value would be determined later by a jury unless the parties reached a settlement on value. In the worst case scenario, the Court would deny the Order of Taking. The County could appeal a denial but resolution of the appeal would take months with no guarantee of success. A possible modification to the worst case scenario would be for the Court to grant the County a lesser interest (e.g., easement) over some or all of the property than the interest (i.e., fee simple) that the County is requesting. In this event, the County would have to start the process all over again which would create further delays. It is difficult to predict what the Court will do. On the one hand, the burden of proof requirements in the case are favorable. The County is required to prove that the proposed taking is necessary for a project that is for a public purpose. Once the County meets its burden, the burden then shifts to the owner to prove bad faith or abuse of discretion. On the other hand, if the Court is not convinced that the County has met its burden, overturning the Court's decision will be difficult and time consuming. The advantage of settlement is certainty. The owners would stipulate to the entry of an Order of Taking and the County would immediately acquire the property. The disadvantage of settlement is that it is possible the County could be paying more than what a jury thinks the property is worth. If this case goes to trial, it is likely that the owners will present a value of well over $2,000,000 to the jury. Based on experience, it is more likely than not that a jury will determine a value somewhere between the County's proposed value and the owner's proposed value. Another factor to consider is that the owner's attorneys' fees are based in part on any increase the owner receives over the County's initial offer ($1,369,750.00). RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION : Based on the above, the County Attorney recommends that the Board make a counteroffer where the parties would stipulate to an order of taking with a floor of $1,670,000 (the owner's purchase price) established for the ultimate compensation. The County's special counsel concurs with this recommendation. Respect illy submitted, Daniel S.
