SUBJECT: Termination and Waiver of Road Agreement and Intersection
Agreement -Sunnyland Farms, LLC
BACKGROUND:
Attached to this memorandum are copies of letters dated August 12, 2009, March 25,
2009 and January 9, 2009 from Daniel 8. Harrell, Esquire, representing Sunnyland Farms, LLC. As
indicated in Mr. Harrell's letters, Sunnyland desires to terminate the September 12, 2006, .
Intersection Design Funding Agreement and the March 21, 2006, Road Contribution and
Construction Agreement. Final planned unit development approval for the Sunnyland Farms PUD
expired on March 21, 2009.
Staff has been concerned that a recent change in state law ns outlined in Section 14 of
Chapter 2009-96, Laws of Florida (Sennte Bill 360) might operate to extend and renew the
Sunnyland Farms PUD approval. Sunnyland has addressed this concern by drafting and signing a
Termination and Waiver Agreement where Sunnyland agrees to waive any and all rights to seek an
extension under Chapter 2009-96.
RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the Termination and Waiver Agreement and
authorize the Chair to sign the Agreement.

ound:
This agenda item is a request for the Board's authorization to submit a gran# application to the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service's FY2010 Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund Habitat
Conservation Planning Assistance Grant Program for $286,298. The grant funds will be used io
evaluate permitting alternatives for projects involving federal and state listed species in St. Lucie and
Indian River Counties. The project would be a partnership between St. Lucie County and Indian River
County, who will jointly manage the project. The grant program requires a 25% non-federal match,
which wou{d be provided through in-kind services valued at $97,920 from St. Lucie and Indian River
County staff.
The project will assess the feasibili#y and cost/benefit of developing a regional or County Habitat
Conservation Plan {HCP). An HCP would provide an alternative permitting process for the protection
of federal and state listed species. Currently, applicants must apply for listed species permits from the
state and/ar federal governments. In the case of federal Incidental Take Permits (ITPs), individual
HCPs are required for each ITP, and mitigation is often provided outside of the County or region. If
the County were to implement aCounty-wide or regional HCP, the County would become the
permittee far impacts permitted under the HCP and associa#ed ITP. The comprehensive {ong-term
planning involved in plan formulation would assist the Caunty in directing avoidance, minimization,
and mitigation of impacts to areas of local and/or regional priority for listed species protection.
The grant is for planning purposes only, and it does not obligate St. Lucie County to implement an
HCP. Grant funds do not have to be returned in the event that a County or regional HCP is not
implemented. Data gathered during the planning process will identify the conservation needs of
federal and state listed species, so that these needs can be taken into account in planning for future
development and identifying priority areas for preservation and mitigation. The grant funds will be
used to hire a consultant, who will assist the Counties in:
1) Coordinating with stakeholders and subject matter experts to guide the planning effort;

ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Heather Sperrazza Lueke, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 09-1043
DATE: September 1, 2009
SUB3ECT: Ordinance No. 09-007 -Chapter 7 Land Development
Code -Street Trees
BACKGROUND:
Section 7.09.00 sets out general landscaping requirements for residential and
non-residential developments. This section has been consistently interpreted by
Staff to require street trees in single-family subdivisions. Recently, applicants have
expressed confusion about the applicability of this section to their projects. At the
two hearings before the Local Planning Agency, this ordinance included a new
requirement for street trees every 30 feet. However, members of the public,
specifically local planning practitioners, raised several issues which has led Staff to
believe that~a comprehensive change to our street trees requirement is needed and
will now be addressed through the revisions to Chapter 6 and 7, currently being
drafted. For'the time being, several scrivener's errors and some confusing
language needs to be corrected fo clarify the intent of this section with regard to
single family subdivisions and our current street trees requirement. This section
also needs to change the requirement from landscaping every 15 parking spaces, to
landscaping every 10 spaces, to match the previously-adopted parking ordinance
(Ordinance No. 07-015). Additionally, ``Public Works Director" needs to be changed
to "Environmental Resources Director" to reflect who makes decisions with regard to
landscaping.
This Ordinance was heard by the Local Planning Agency on March 19, 2009, and
April 16, 2009, and was recommended for approval.
The Board of County Commissioners held its first public hearing on the Ordinance
on August 18, 2009. Comments made by Commissioner Grande have been
incorporated into the Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 09-007.
