C.A. NO: 09-0720
DATE: June 9, 2009
SUBJECT: Green Collar Consortium - Memorandum of Agreement with Workforce
Solutions and Building Trades Unions
BACKGROUND:
Attached to this memorandum is a copy of the proposed Memorandum of
Agreement with Workforce Solutions and area building trades unions for the creation of
the Green Collar Consortium. The mission of the Consortium will be to bring registered
apprenticeship programs at the St. Lucie County Logistics Center with an emphasis on
training in green technology. Each of the unions currently operates apprenticeship
programs in Palm Beach and Broward Counties which are registered with the State of
Florida Department of Labor. The establishment of these programs at the Logistics
Center will enable County residents to take advantage of these training opportunities
closer to home leading to a more skilled local workforce. Participants in the program will
also be available to assist the County in its housing rehabilitations programs.
The Memorandum of Agreement provides for the unions to form a nonprofit
corporation for the operation of the training area. Once the corporation is formed, the
Memorandum of Agreement provides for the County and the corporation to enter into a
Facilities Use Agreement for use of ten thousand (10,000) square feet of indoor space and
two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet of outdoor space at the Logistics Center.
As a precursor to the Facilities Use Agreement, the Memorandum of Agreement outlines
some of the general requirements for the program. The County will contribute up to fifty
thousand and 00/100 dollars ($50,000.00) towards design and permitting costs for the
training area. Labor and materials for the project will be provided by the unions.
Thereafter, the unions will be responsible for the operating costs of the training area.
The initial term of the Facilities Use Agreement will be five (5) years'

Background:
St. Lucie County was fortunate to receive $4.6 million (with the County's 25% match) in NRCS grant funds to

will fully fund the original project and will also, enable staff to expand the scope of the project to armor additional
areas identified during construction. Staff requests permission to accept the grant from NRCS, approve Budget
Resolution No. 09-180 to establish the budget for the grant and approve Budget Amendment BA09-025 to transfer

associated with prehistoric community life, being made up of oyster shell fragments harvested for
food, and is part of the community legacy as a place where tremendous pride about the city's
historic roots is connected. Adding this site to the local register will assure that, all future work at

Background:
Parks and Recreation's staff receives many requests to move equipment from Parks and Recreation

hauling equipment. Staff is requesting permission to purchase a utility trailer. Because equipment was
not included or approved in the FY08/09 budget, Board approval is needed. Funds are available in the
Machinery and Equipment account. We have received quotes from three local vendors. If approved the
utility trailer will be purchased from Indian River Trailer of Ft. Pierce at a cost of $2,500.

SUBJECT: Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Agreement for FY09/10
ITEM NO. VI-1-11
Background:
CSBG is a federal grant designed to lessen poverty in communities throughout the nation. The
funds can be used for a range of services and activities to assist low-income individuals including
the homeless, migrants and the elderly. Grant amounts are determined by a formula based on each
State's poverty population. To satisfy the CSBG grant requirements, the Treasure Coast
Community Action Agency (TCCAA) was formed in 1997. TCCAA's mission is to partner with other
human services organizations, the private sector and citizens to offer programs and services that
assist residents toward self sufficiency.
St. Lucie County is the lead County for the Treasure TCCAA. The TCCAA Advisory Board oversees
the programs and budget for the tri-county area. Members represent the business community,
social services and the low-income sector for each County. The percentage of funds allotted for
each County is as follows; St. Lucie 53.5%, Martin 26%, Okeechobee 20.5%.
Funds for St. Lucie County will be used to assist with educational programs, disaster and
emergency relief, transportation in support of education or employment, after school programs,
nutrition programs and asset development for eligible residents. Martin County will utilize their
funding to provide rent, mortgage or utility payment assistance to prevent eviction or termination of
services. Okeechobee County will provide homemaking, personal and respite care services to
senior citizens.
The annual agreement between Florida Department of Community Affairs and St. Lucie County
Board of County Commissioners for FY09/10 is in the amount of $287,204.

DATE: June 16, 2009
SUBJECT: Resolution 09-183 - Project Vision
ITEM NO. VI-G8
Background:
Florida's Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund (QTI) incentive is available for companies that create
high wage jobs in targeted high value-added industries. This incentive includes refunds on corporate
income, sales, ad valorem, intangible personal property, insurance premium, and certain other taxes.
Pre -approved applicants, who create jobs in Florida, receive tax refunds of $3,000 per net new Florida
full-time equivalent job created. For businesses paying 150% of the average annual wage, an additional
$1,000 per job is available. The local community where the company locates is required to contribute
20% of the total tax refund.
Project Vision is an optical business which develops and manufactures scratch resistance coatings and
equipment for eyeglass lenses. In addition, the company develops and manufactures photocromic
coatings that change colors in the sunlight and equipment for those type of ophthalmic lenses. The
company will also manufacture several lens chemistries and chemistry application equipment for
processing and manufacturing of lenses. Project Vision intends to locate within St. Lucie County and to
hire 200 full-time employees at an average hourly wage of $26.76. This is 63% above St. Lucie
County's average hourly wage. The company plans to make a $2,000,000 capital investment, divided
approximately equally between equipment and building renovations. The company intends to locate to
an existing building.
Based upon the number of jobs and average wage projected, the company may be eligible for a grant of
$510,000 from St. Lucie County's Job Growth Incentive Grant (JGIG) program phased over three years.
The company may also be eligible for an ad valorem tax abatement of $40,500 phased over a period of
nine years.
Project Vision is applying for the State's QTI incentive. The State's application requirements include a
local county government resolution in support of the company's plans and a 20% local financial match.
The required 20% match is equal to $160,000. These funds would come from the JGIG grant of
$510,000. If the JGIG grant and ad valorem tax abatement incentives are approved by the Board, local
incentives to be provided shall be the following:
$160,000- State's QTI (local contribution only),
$350,000 - County's JGIG ($510,000 less $160,000 paid through State QTI),
$40,500 - Ad Valorem Tax Abatement.

C.A. NO: 09-0629
DATE: June 16, 2009
SUBJECT: Special Magistrate's Recommendation concerning St. Lucie County Board of
Adjustment's Resolution No. 08-010 regarding St. Lucie Citrus Consulting
BACKGROUND:
St. Lucie Citrus Consulting, LLC ("St. Lucie Citrus") is the owner of a 152.08 acre parcel of land on
the east side of Ideal Holding Road approximately 1.05 miles south of Okeechobee Road (the "Property").
On September 16, 2003, the current owner submitted an application to the Growth Management
Department for a Conditional Use (CU 03-017) and Major Site Plan (MJSP 03-017). The project consisted
of mining sand for processing off -site. The sand mine was proposed with three phases totalling 33.13 acres
and a depth of 20 feet below wet season water table. Once the mining operation was complete, the resulting
borrow pits were to be converted to a lake shaped like an "H" for recreational usage.
On October 19, 2004, the Owner's application for conditional use (CU 03-017) for the mine was
denied by the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners because of the undue adverse effect on
adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, noise, water tables, dust or other
matters affecting the public health, safety and general welfare. [Resolution No. 04-3251
On January 18, 2005, the Owner filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari contesting the Board of County
Commissioner's denial of the conditional use application.
On May 12, 2005, St. Lucie Citrus Development, LLC changed its name to St. Lucie Citrus Consulting,
LLC, (SLCC).
On October 19, 2006, the Court denied the Petition for Writ of Certiorari. No appeal was taken from
this Order.
On December 22, 2006, SLCC applied for a minor site plan to the Growth Management Department
for a subdivision of 4 single family parcels in zoning. The application included copies of:
A. South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Permit 56-01835-P for mining issued
January 15, 2004.
B, SFWMD Permit 56-01746 and for dewatering.
C. A minor site plan showing a 38.74 acre lake shaped like an "H" transecting the 4 lots of 38
acres each.
D. Drainage detail showing a lake at a depth of 25 feet on Plan dated April 12, 2007.
The proposed lake was essentially the same as the sand mine/lake submitted with the September
16, 2003 application.

for the access road (North FFA Road) for the project known as "Horseshoe Grove."
ITEM NO. VII-F
Background:
The applicant is seeking a waiver from the following provisions of the Code:
Section 7.05.07 - Paving Requirements for Roads that Access Developments Requiring Site
Plan Approval that Utilize Unpaved Public and Private Roads for Access
Horseshoe Grove is pending approval through Growth Management Order (GM Order) for a 7-lot Minor
Site Plan on 40.61 acres of land. The project is located on North FFA Road, which is a County owned
and maintained dirt road. The developer of "Horseshoe Grove" is requesting that the Board grant relief
from the requirements of Section 7.05.07 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, which
requires that unpaved access roads to developments requiring site plan approval, be paved to County
road design and construction standard specifications.
A copy of Section 7.05.07 of the LDC is attached. The proposed development is a small traffic
generator as set out in Section 7.05.07. As such, the developer is required to make a fair share
contribution of the cost of paving North FFA Road as determined by the Board of County
Commissioners prior to issuance of plat approval. The developer has requested that the Board "waive"
the required fair share contribution. At the March 3, 2009 public hearing, the developer's representative
provided the Board with a list of projects that he said were not required to provide paved access. A
summary of those projects is attached in the staff response from Ron Harris, County Surveyor. Based
on staff recommendation, the Board adopted Resolution No. 09-010 denying the requested waiver. On
March 10, 2009, pursuant to Section 11.00.04E, the Board voted unanimously to reconsider the
adoption of Resolution No. 09-010.
Also attached to this memorandum is a copy of staff's response to the project list submitted to the Board
at the March 3 hearing.
The County Engineer has determined that the proposed development is a small traffic generator. The
County Engineer is also recommending that the Board grant the paving waiver request on condition that

SUBJECT: Reconsider the petition of Barol LLC for a waiver from paving the internal road for the
Minor Site Plan for the project known as "Horseshoe Grove."
ITEM NO. VII-G
Background:
This item is a companion to the external road paving waiver request by Horseshoe Grove. The waiver
request for the external road access is considered in the Item VII-F of this BOCC Agenda.
On March 3, 2009, based on staff recommendation, the Board adopted Resolution No. 09-010
essentially denying all the requested waivers. Subsequently, the County Attorney office determined that
the BOCC's motion to deny the external road waiver request was incorrect and advised the Board
reconsider their action. On March 10, 2009, the Board agreed to reconsider the external road paving
waiver. However, both the external and internal waiver requests were considered under one agenda
item at the March 3, 2009 public hearing. The two requests are now being considered separately,
The reason for reconsidering the two waiver requests individually is that the LDC has specific provisions
for waiving the external paving requirements, whereas no such provisions exist in the LDC for the
internal road.
As the Land Development Code provides no waiver of the internal road paving requirement staff does
not support waiving this request.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Draft Resolution No. 09-095 denying the requested waiver of paving the
internal road.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 09-068, granting WCA of St. Lucie, LLC a Major Adjustment to
an approved Conditional Use Permit.
ITEM NO.: VII-H
Backaround:
On April 21, 2009, this Board continued the public hearing on this item to June 16, 2009, to allow
time for a site plan meeting the requirements of the Land Development Code to be provided for the
Board's consideration. The revised site plan is incorporated by reference into the draft Resolution
for the Conditional Use Permit and recommended for your approval on the Regular Agenda
(Attachment A).
The Major Adjustment to the Conditional Use Permit is proposed to change the applicant and
project name, and to extend the expiration date of the Conditional Use Permit granted to SP
Recycling Inc. through Resolution No. 07-043. In 2007, this Resolution changed the use of the 5-
acre parcel from a recycling facility for construction debris to a recycling transfer station for curb
side pick-up. WCA of St. Lucie, LLC was the owner of the property and authorized the Conditional
Use Permit application for SP Recycling Inc. The facility is not in operation and a Zoning
Compliance letter for the approved recycling transfer facility was never obtained.
The site plan adjustment associated with this project, if approved, will require the installation of
additional fencing and screening and enhanced landscaping along Range Line Road. Prior to the
issuance of Zoning Compliance for the recycling facility, the site improvements must be consistent
with the approved site plan and conditions of approval for the project. Staff would note that two
additional conditions of approval are included in the draft Resolution for the site plan adjustment: 1)
the donation of 10 feet of right of way along Range Line Road; and 2) payment of a $13,068 fee in
lieu of construction of a multiuse path along Range Line Road.
In accordance with Land Development Code Section 11.07.05(E), the proposed Major Adjustment
to the Conditional Use Permit may be granted by the Board when the proposed changes are in
substantial conformity with the original Conditional Use Permit approval. Staff has reviewed all

ITEM NO.: X
Backcground:
This petition is a request to approve a major site plan adjustment that is attached for your review. The
property is located at 9901 Range Line Road in the IH (Industrial, Heavy) Zoning District. The proposed
site plan adjustment is associated with the petition of WCA of St. Lucie, LLC for an adjustment to the
Conditional Use Permit for the subject property, which is scheduled as a companion item under No. VII-
H of your agenda. The Draft Resolution for the Conditional Use Permit incorporates the proposed site
plan by reference.
The purpose of the site plan adjustment is to address inconsistencies between the approved site plan
and the existing conditions on the project property. The site plan revises the solid opaque fence and 2
foot high berm shown on the original site plan but not installed on the property (Attachment A). To bring
the site plan into compliance and to utilize the existing chain link fence, the applicant has modified the
plan to provide an additional two feet of chain link fence, for a total height of 8 feet, and mesh screening
(96% shade) on the entire fence (Attachment B). Prior to the issuance of Zoning Compliance for the
property, the additional fencing, screening and landscaping as shown on the revised site plan, must be
installed. In addition, all conditions of approval must be met, including: 1) the donation of 10 feet of right
of way along Range Line Road; and 2) payment of a $13,068 fee in lieu of construction of a multiuse
path along Range Line Road. No additional buildings or impervious surfaces are proposed.
The site plan includes a 13,000 square foot building, concrete pad, outside storage area for recycling
materials and parking areas, which have been constructed on the property. The site plan was originally
approved as a minor site plan granted by the Community Development Director, as titled at the time. In
accordance with LDC Section 7.10.12(B)(5), and the fact that the proposed uses of the property
required Board approval, staff is recommending the major adjustment to the site plan be approved by
the Board of County Commissioners.

FROM: Heather Young, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 09-0713
DATE: June 3, 2009
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 09-103 - Amending Animal Registration Fee Schedule
BACKGROUND:
On June 16, 2009, the Board will consider adoption of Ordinance No. 09-014 which
would require registration for anyone selling one or more dog or cat in a twelve month
period. Attached to this ordinance is a copy of proposed Resolution No. 09-103 which
would amend the animal registration fee schedule to add a fee for such pet sellers. The
proposed one hundred and 00/100 dollars ($100.00) fee is equal to that charged for
breeders. In addition, the resolution would delete the reduced fee sterilized dogs and cats
owned by persons with the senior property tax exemption and replace it with a waiver for
sterilized dogs and cats owned by households with an annual household income at or below
125% of the United States Department of Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines.
Finally, the resolution would formally adopt the two dollar and 00/100 .($2.00)
administrative fee paid by the County to the Humane Society and veterinarians for each
animal registration certificate they issue on behalf of the County.
RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners adopt proposed Resolution
No. 09-103 as drafted.

COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Katherine Mackenzie -Smith, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 09-0698
DATE: June 16, 2009
SUBJECT: Code Enforcement Cases No. 39157 - 1903 Edwards Road, Fort
Pierce, FL - Unsightly and Unsanitary Conditions
BACKGROUND:
St. Lucie County has received code compliance complaints from the neighbors of
this property at 1903 Edwards Road in Fort Pierce and have exhausted all avenues to gain
compliance.
The property has been cited by Code Enforcement in January of 2006, May of
2007, October of 2007 and April of 2008. The case was taken before the Code Board on
March 1, 2006 after due notice to the violator, Joseph Zielinski. The property was found
to be in violation of Section 1-9-19, Outside Storage and Section 1-9-32(d) Overgrowth
of the St. Lucie County Code and Compiled Laws, and Section 13.09.00, Article 303.2
Protective Treatment and Article 302.7 Property Maintenance, of the St. Lucie County
Land Development Code. A fine was imposed and a lien was filed. The case was taken
to the Code Board again on June 7, 2006. The owner was making some progress on the
property and the case was continued to July 5, 2006. On July 5, 2006, the Code Board
heard testimony from Mr. Zielinski that he was trying to get permits and was applying for
SHIP and other agencies for financing. The Board agreed to an extension until October
30, 2006 to allow Mr. Zielinski to work out the circumstances to apply for his permit with
a fine being imposed after the October 30, 2006 date. To this date, Mr. Zielinski has not
obtained his permit.
Chapter 67-1998, Laws of Florida, Section 5 (attached) finds that all lots in
recorded subdivisions in St. Lucie County, outside of municipalities, shall be kept clear
and clean of weeds, underbrush, rubbish, junk, debris, vegetation (including trees),
brush and unsightly and unsanitary matters where the public health, welfare and safety
are concerned.
