FROM: Henther Young, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 10-1623
DATE: December 15, 2010
SUBJECT: Sea Onts Subdivision - Request for Authorizntion to File Suit to Determine
the Appropriate Disbursement of Security Deposit under Subdivision
Improvements Agreement with Crimson Group, LLC
BACK6ROUND :
On October 3, 2003, the County entered into a Subdivision Improvement
Agreement with Crimson Group, LLC, for the installation of utility improvements in the
Anncostia Subdivision, n/k/a Sen Oats Subdivision, located on South Hutchinson Islnnd. A
copy of the agreement is attnched. The ngreement provided for the developer to
complete construction of the improvements within twelve (12) months of the date of
recording the plat for the pro ject. As security for its obligations under the agreement,
the developer was required to provide a security in the amount of twelve thousand and
00/100 dollars ($12,000.00) to be used by the County to construct the improvements in
the event the developer fniled to do so within the prescribed period. The plat was
recorded on ~ecember 2, 2003. The developer began construction of the improvements,
but it did not complete them and apparently nbandoned the pro ject.
Earlier in the year, the County was approached by the Sea Oats Owners Association
which intended to complete installntion of the utility infrastructure in conjunction with the
construction of a home on his lot in the subdivision. On August 28, 2010, the County
entered into a Utilities Development Agreement which provided for the County to accept
the improvements upon completion. The ngreement also provided for the County to
transfer the developer's portion of the security deposit to the Association upon completion
of the construction as the Associcttion hnd assumed resp.onsibility for that work. The
Association subsequently decided to maintain ownership of. the improvements rnther than
turn them over to the County to mannge. Accordingly, staff drafted an amendment to the
Utilities Development Agreement which provided for the County to transfer the entire
security deposit to the Association upon completion of the improvement. Prior to
finalization of the amendment, staff wns contncted by the attorney for the Crimson Group
requesting that the security deposit be returned to his client. In light of the two
conflicting clnims for the funds, staff is recommending that the County deposit the funds
in the court registry and file suit in order for the court to determine the proper
disbursement of the funds.

DATE: December 21, 2010
SUBJECT: FEMA Severe Repetitive Loss Program
ITEM NO. VI-C
This item is a request for Board approval to advance County funds for the Severe Repetitive Loss
(SRL) Program on the basis of being reimbursed from FEMA and authorization to discontinue
participation in the SRL once the current projects are completed.
History:
The County's participation in the SRL Program dates back to May of 2008. By way of background,
the SRL Program is a grant program funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). It is managed through the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FLDEM) and is
intended to mitigate the long-term risk of flood damage to residential properties insured under the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
An SRL property is defined as a residential property that is covered under an NFIP flood insurance
policy and has at least four NFIP claim payments (including building and contents) over $5,000
each or for which at least two separate claim payments have been made with the cumulative
amount of the building portion of such claims exceeding the market value of the structure. They
can only apply for the program through their local government (city or county) and not through
FEMA or FLDEM. The State is the Applicant and the County is the sub-applicant. There are also
other programs for Repetitive Loss (RL) Properties which are defined as ones that have had at
least two claims of $1,000 each paid by NFIP over a 10-year period since 1978. Homeowners who
qualify for the grant program are notified by FEMA and directed to contact the County to apply.
Repetitive Loss (RL) Properties are not covered by the SRL Program.
When County staff initially brought this matter to the Board in May of 2008, the SRL Program was
designed whereby the homeowners would front the project costs and receive a 90%
reimbursement from FEMA. There were ten properties in St. Lucie County considered to be eligible
for the SRL Program. County staff submitted eight applications. Six of which have been approved
by FEMA and subsequent contracts have been executed between the County and FDEM and
between the County and the homeowners, one application is pending and one application was
withdrawn at the req uest of the homeowner. The projects costs range from $71,155 for elevation
to $411,856 for demolition and acquisition. The remaining two property owners showed no interest
in participating in the Program. However one of the prope~ties was sold in September 2009 and
the new owner has appeared before the Board and submitted letters to the County and Senator Bill
Nelson pushing for inclusion in the Program.

COUNTY ATTORNEYS OFFICE
ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Katherine Barbieri, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 10-1564
DATE: December 21, 2010
SUBIECT: Ordinance No. 10-033 - Providing for Eminent Domain Waivers
Attached to this memorandum is a copy of proposed Ordinance No. 10-033 which would
amend the Land Development Code to provide for eminent domain waivers by amending Section
2.00.00 r~Definitions" to include definitions of acquiring authority and eminent domain waiver. It
would further amend Chapter 10 to add Section 10.03 "Eminent Domain Waiver" to provide
waiver where eminent domain action renders a site non-conforming.
This Ordinance came before the Planning & Zoning Commission on September 16, 2010 and
November 18, 2010. The Commission recommended that the ordinance be amended to require
that the eminent domain waiver be completed before the damage phase of any court proceeding
[see attached Commission minutesJ. Staff agrees that in mast situationsthis should transpire, but
does not recommend modifying the ordinance to require.
The proposed changes are intended to provide a process and more certainty about what
is allowed on a site following an eminent domain acquisition. The proposed ordinance will
accomplish the following:
1. It outlines three types of parcels in which a waiver would be acceptable.
2. Sets forth a procedure to apply for a waiver.
3. It allows both the property owner and the acquiring authority to apply for a waiver and
requires the property owner to be notified if the acquiring authority applies for a waiver.
Likewise, it requires notification of the acquiring authority if the property owner applies
for a waiver. Both the property owner and the acquiring authority can apply for a waiver
so that a third party, County staff, can review it for compliance with the requirements of
Land Deveiopment Code.
4. It gives the Board of County Commissioners the power to grant waivers. Nothing in the
proposed changes require a property owner to accept or implement a waiver. In fact, a
cure plan could be drawn and submitted with an application for a waiver. The waiver

SUBJECT: Right-of-Way Protection Map
ITEM NO.: VII-C
Backqround:
The Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan were
adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on October 26, 2010. One of the changes to the
Comprehensive Plan was the relocation of the Right-of-Way Protection Map (RWPM) into Section
7.05.03 of the Land Development Code (LDC), "Rights-of-Way Determinations and Dedication,
Improvements." The Department of Community Affairs does not require this map to be in the
Comprehensive Plan and updates to the data would be more efficient if located in the LDC.
This is the second of two required public hearings for this proposed amendment. During the first
hearing held on October 19, 2010, the Board requested a change to the map and review by the
Transportation Pianning Organization (TPO). The map was updated to show a reduction to the South
Causeway A1A lane width from four to two lanes. On December 1, 2010, the TPO unanimously
endorsed the relocation of the map from the Comprehensive Pian to the LDC with the condition that
the TPO approve subsequent revisions of the map (see attached letter from Peter Buchwald, TPO
Director).
Attached as Exhibit A to Ordinance 10-036 is a draft updated Right-of-Way Protection Map including
revisions made since the first hearing. Proposed roadway updates are highlighted in yellow and
proposed deleted segments are marked in pink Included in this package is the material from the
October 19`" Board hearing containing further background and details on the proposed amendment.
Previous Action:
On September 16, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this proposed text
amendment to the LDC and unanimously recommended that it be approved.
On October 19, 2010, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed and gave input on this proposed
text amendment.
On December 1, 2010, the St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization endorsed the proposed
amendment.
Recommendation:
Board adoption of proposed Ordinance 10-036 amending the text of the Land Development Code to
include the Right-of-Way Protection Map in Section 7.05.03.
