During the August 17, 2010 public hearing on this item, the Board directed staff to provide the costs associated with processing a conditional use permit. The adopted fee schedule identifies the following charges associated with applying for a conditional use permit: • Base review fee of $1,500 for property containing 10 acres or less; • Base review fee of property over 10 acres is $2,000 and $10 per each additional acre; • Concurrency review fee of $50; and • Environmental Resources Department review of $100. The total fee associated with initiating a conditional use permit application is $1,650 for property of 10 acres or less, which is more than adequate size for siting a kennel facility. A conditional use permit requires a public hearing and review before the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners. Prior to both public hearings the following additional expenses are to be incurred by the applicant: • Mail notification to neighbors within 500 feet of the subject property (current postal rate is 44¢); • Display advertisement in the St. Lucie News Tribune far approximately $300; and • A posted sign identifying the proposed conditional use far approximately $75.

West> Public Works Director ' FROM: Barbara Guettler, MSBU Assistant~~ Engineering ©ATE: September 7, 2010 SUBJECT: The Grove and Paim Grove Street Lighting Districts ITEM NO. VII-B-C Background: The County has 19 Street Lighting Districts (SLDs). Twa of the districts were created in 2000 and are funded by nomad valarem specie! assessments based upon equivalent dwelling units (EDtts) whereby the cost of providing the street lighting services are allocated nn a pro rata basis among the parcels which benefit from each district. The 17 other SLDs were created as ad valarem assessments based an property value. As a result of recent decreases in property value and increases in the cast of electricity the proceeds of the ad valarem assessments are no longer sufficient to fund the cast of providing street lighting services to the properties within these districts. Therefore, the Board has converted the method of assessment for 15 of the 17 districts to one based on Equivalent Dwelling Lfnits (EDt1s) and the actual cost of providing the service. The uniform method for collection of non-ad valarem assessments as set forth in Florida Statute 197.3632, is a fair and reasonable way to fund street lighting improvements. If the Board chooses to adopt the attached resolutions, the revised assessment methodology would commence beginning with the 2010-2011 Fiscal Year. Special assessment amounts may vary from year to year depending on fluctuations in the actual cost of providing the service (electricity, etc.). Each year the Board will adapt an annual assessment resolution approving the amount of the assessment. However, the assessment shall not increase in any subsequent year more than five percent (5%) from the previous year or more than a total of ten percent (10%) above the maximum assessment amount as indicated in the attached corresponding resolution unless the Board gives notice and conducts an additional public hearing. The public hearings tonight for The Grove and Palm Grove Street Lighting Districts are being continued from August 24, 2010 in order to allow staff sufficient time to investigate a concern voiced by a Home Owners Associa#ion (HOA) representative. The concern was that the HOA was being charged directly far the same ten street lights that the property owners were being assessed for through the Grove SL©. After speaking with FPL it has been determined that the bill produced by the HOA is not far the ten street lights that are contained in The Grove SLD, it is far a meter located on the guard house itself. However, through researching this matter it was realized that some parcels in The Grove SLD benefit only from Palm Grave SLD; therefore, these parcels have been removed from the assessment roll for The Grave SLD.
