SUBJECT: Road Impact Fee Credit Agreement with Cortez Townhomes, LLC
**********************************************************************************
BACKGROUND:
On October 3, 2006, the Board adopted Resolution No. 06-236 granting site plan approval to
Cortez Townhomes, LLC, for a project known as Cortez Townhomes. The property has since been
annexed by the City of Fort Pierce. The Developer was required by the County to construct
improvements to the intersection of Cortez Boulevard and South 25'h Street. Those improvements
cost $562,600.00 and are substantially completed. The improvements created excess capacity beyond
that needed for the Cortez Townhomes site. County staff has agreed that the value of the capacity
enhancements that are not site related is $478,000.00. County staff has also determined that the
value of the Developer's non -site related right-of-way donation is $4,648.00. Under the County's road
impact fee ordinance, the amount eligible for credit against the County's road impact fee is
$482,648.00. As set out in Section 5, the Developer has previously paid impact fees for 72 units.
Under the County's current ordinance, the Developer is not entitled to receive credits on the impact
fees paid for the 72 units. The Developer may request the Board to consider changes in the County's
ordinance that would allow the Developer to claim credits.
Attached to this memorandum is a copy of a proposed Road Impact Fee Agreement which, if
adopted, would grant the Developer a credit against road impact fees in the amount of $482,648.00.
RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Board approvethe Road Impact Fee Credit Agreement with Cortez
Townhomes, LLC, and authorize the Chairman to sign the Agreement.

Background:
The Housing Division received Federal and State grants that provide funding for low-income residents to
assist with rehabilitation or replacement of owner occupied homes.
An Invitation to Bid was advertised on May 22, 2011. A mandatory project review with contractors was
completed on June 6, 2011. On June 20, 2011, bids were evaluated for compliance with the approved
Housing Assistance Plan.
Staff is recommending award of the projects to the following qualified lowest bidders:
• ITB #6 to One Construction Services located in Port Saint Lucie award amount $106,900
• ITB #7 to AWM Construction, Inc. located in Fort Pierce award amount $38,071
• ITB #8 to Emporium Homes located in Port Saint Lucie award amount $77,700
• ITB #9 to A. Thomas Construction located in Fort Pierce award amount $31,755
• ITB #10 to JJ's Design and Construction in Palm Bay award amount $40,100
• ITB #11 to A. Thomas Construction located in Fort Pierce award amount $70,775
Per the Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) "No contractor will be allowed to have more than two (2) jobs under
construction at one time." A. Thomas Construction was the lowest bidder of four out of six projects advertised
therefore it is recommended for A. Thomas Construction to be awarded ITB #9 and ITB #11.
Due to the projects being funded by Federal grants, the County's local preference ordinance does not apply.
All projects incorporate energy efficient products, including Energy Star appliances, solar hot water heaters,
low flow faucets and Low-E impact windows.
Recommendation:
Board approval of bid awards for rehabilitation projects ITB #6, ITB #7, ITB #8, ITB #9, ITB #10 and ITB #11
funded under the Community Development Block Grant Small Cities and Community Development Block Grant
Tropical Storm Fay, and authorization for the Chairman to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney.

item is acceptance of the attached Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant offer of $3,522,824 for the
Taxiways A & B Rehabilitation and Associated Drainage project. The second item is the attached Budget
Resolution establishing the project funds. The project consists of the milling and overlay of the asphalt
taxiways and corrections to pavement and drainage structures to meet FAA standards. Taxiways A & B
were last paved in 1986.
The funding for this project was originally approved by the Board under the FY 2010 Capital Budget Plan.
Per FAA requirements, a grant application for construction based on actual bids must be submitted as part
of the application package. In preparation for submitting the grant application, the project was advertised on
February 27, 2011. Bids for the project were opened on April 6, 2011. Subsequently, in May 2011, the Board
conditionally approved the awarding of the project to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder,
contingent on receipt of Federal grant funding.
The FAA asked the Airport to submit its grant application for the estimated project amount of $3,708,236.
This information covered the project base bid, two "add alternates", and construction administration. The
FAA needed the information to determine full or partial project funding. On June 23, 2011, the FAA advised
the Airport of full funding for the entire project amount. Project funding consists of a FAA 95% match share
of $3,522,824, a FDOT 2.5% match share of $92,706, and a local 2.5% match share of $92,706.
FDOT has already provided $83,915 in local match funds of the $92,706 needed. However, FDOT is unable
to provide the additional $8,791 in match funds needed for the project due to State-wide funding reductions.
The Airport has sufficient funds to cover the match shortfall with no contribution needed from the general
fund.

SUBJECT: Class A Mobile Home Permit Request — Aimee Cablish and Eric Townsend
ITEM NO. VII-D
Background
Aimee Cablish and Eric Townsend are requesting a Class A Mobile Home Permit to define a mobile
home as a single-family detached dwelling to be located at 13599 C-24 Canal Road.
The subject 1.56 acre parcel has both a Zoning District and Future Land Use designation of AG-5
(Agricultural-5, 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres). The lot is defined as a legal, non -conforming lot of record
per St. Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC) Section 10,00.04, Nonconforming Lots of
Record. Principal and accessory buildings may be constructed on the lot provided that all other
applicable land development code requirements are met.
Standards of Review (Section 11.05,02.D, St. Lucie County Land Development Code)
Section 11.05.02 of the LDC establishes the criteria to determine whether a Class A Mobile Home
meets the definition of a detached single family dwelling unit. Section 11.05.02.C.4 specifically
requires the Board to hold a public hearing prior to making this determination and that, as part of
making this determination, the Board of County Commissioners shall consider the exterior
dimensions, the exterior finish of the roof and walls, and the skirting. Before a Class A Mobile Home
can be defined as a detached single-family dwelling unit, the Board must determine that the structure
meets four aesthetic criteria:
1. Minimum Width of Main Body, The minimum horizontal dimension of the main body of the mobile
home as assembled on the site is not less than twenty (20) feet, as measured across the
narrowest portion, except that in the Agricultural Residential (AR-1), Agricultural-1 (AG-1),
Agricultural-2.5 (AG-2.5) and Agricultural-5 (AG-5), Zoning Districts, no minimum horizontal
dimension shall apply.
No minimum horizontal width of the main body is required in the AG-5 Zoning District, therefore
the first criteria does not apply to this particular application.

SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 11-021 — Text Amendment to the IL (Industrial, Light) Zoning
District
ITEM NO. VII-E
Background:
This item is the request of Robert Antonucci to add Section 3.01.03(T)(y), Persona! Services (72),
to the list of Permitted Uses in the IL (Industrial, Light) Zoning District. This is the first of two
required public hearings.
The petitioner, Robert Antonucci, has requested the amendment to permit the operation of a
crematory service at 10201 SE Lennard Road, property which is currently zoned IL. The proposed
amendment to the list of permitted uses in the IL Zoning District would allow the applicant's business
to be permitted at the proposed location. This amendment will permit the applicant to apply for a
Building Permit and Certificate of Zoning Compliance in accordance with County regulations.
At the June 16, 2011 public hearing on this matter, the St. Lucie County Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of the proposed Draft Ordinance by a unanimous vote. In
response to questions regarding greenhouse gas emissions from a crematory, staff explained that
human crematories are eligible to operate as an emissions source under the terms and conditions
of an Air General Permit issued by the Department of Environmental Protection.
According to staff's analysis, the Personal Services category is an appropriate use in the IL Zoning
and would be compatible with other permitted uses in the zoning district. Staff's review of this
petition has determined that the proposed text amendment conforms to the standards of review as
set forth in Section 11.06.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and will further the
goals, objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation:
Board review and approval to schedule the second required public hearing for August 2, 2011 at 6:00
pm, or as soon thereafter as possible.

Preemption
Section 1-15-20, St. Lucie County Code of Ordinances, prohibits a person from carrying a
gun, pistol or firearm in a County park or recreational facility. This section conflicts with the
following provisions of State law: (1) section 790.33, Florida Statutes, which expressly preempts
to State law "the whole field of regulation of firearms and ammunition, including ... ownership,
possession, storage, and transportation thereof, to the exclusion of all existing and future
county ... ordinances or regulations relating thereto. Any such existing ordinances are hereby
declared null and void," and (2) section 790.06, Florida Statutes, which allow individuals who \
hold a valid concealed weapons license to carry concealed weapons in all places except those
specifically listed in the statute.
Ordinance No. 11-020 has been drafted to amend the County Code to be consistent
with State law.
This Board granted permission to advertise Ordinance No. 11-020 for a public hearing
June 21, 2011. A notice of this hearing was published in the St. Lucie News Tribune on June

DATE: July 5, 2011
SUBJECT: Florida Beach Erosion Control Program FY-2012/13 Funding Request
ITEM NO. III-A1
Background:
The Florida Beach Erosion Control Program (FBECP) is a Long -Range Budget Plan administered through the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to assist eligible local governments with their beach
erosion control projects. Each application request must include a detailed project description, cost estimate,
and supporting resolution from the governing body. Individual projects then receive a priority ranking based
upon several criteria. Due to the early legislative session this coming year, the submittal deadline for
consideration of FY-2012/13 State funds is July 18, 2011.
The attached project worksheets provide further detail on the following beach erosion control funding requests:
1) Ft. Pierce Beach:
a. beach & inlet monitoring (State: $150,000, County: $150,000); general re-evaluation report -
coordination and refinement (State: $50,000, County: $50,000), and
b. reimbursement for 2011 beach fill project (State: $674,173, County: $674,173), and
2) Inlet Sand Bypassing: final design and plans & specs (State: $150,000, County: $50,000), and
3) Southern St. Lucie County Beach Restoration: continue federal feasibility phase (State: $88,000, County:
$112,000); construction, mitigation and monitoring (State: $8,734,000, County: $4,466,000) assumes the
maximum state funding percentage allowed for a regional project.
Compilations of these funding estimates utilize the best available information and are subject to revision due to
many influencing factors. For example, there is always a possibility that matching State funds presently under
contract for a specific project could be reverted or reallocated to another State project. Should existing funding
for a project get eliminated, new funding requests can be used to re-establish State funding for the next year.
For the Southern St. Lucie County Beach Restoration project, we are coordinating with Martin County and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to combine this project with the Martin County Federal Shore Protection project
(construction schedule still uncertain) in order to take advantage of construction contracting. In order for the St.
Lucie County project to qualify for a one-time increase in FDEP's cost share, these two projects will be bid
jointly and separately to demonstrate to FDEP the cost savings of combining the two projects into a regional
project. With this strategy, there could be a potential decrease in the percentage of the local cost share with
the state from 55.9% to 33.9%. Actual cost savings have yet to be determined.
Recommendation:
Board approval to submit the Florida Beach Erosion Control Program FY-2012/13 funding application request
along with supporting Resolution No. 11-003.

SUBJECT: South St. Lucie County Beach Restoration Project
ITEM NO. III-A2
Background:
St. Lucie County has initiated a non-federal project to address the severely deteriorated conditions of the South
County shoreline while paralleling the development of a federal shore protection project to provide for future re -
nourishment of the beaches in the project area. During the 2006/07 budget session, the State approved $3 million to
assist St. Lucie County with the South St. Lucie County Beach Restoration project due to impacts from hurricane
activity. On January 23, 2007, the Board approved two separate work authorizations with Coastal Tech along with
FDEP Project Agreement 07SL2 for $3 million in State funds to undertake these long-term tasks. In order to help
alleviate the concerns FDEP recently expressed about the potential reversion of these older funds, we are
recommending the reallocation of funds to various tasks that can be accomplished in the short term.
Work Authorization No. 7 was one of the original contracts approved with Coastal Tech to investigate offshore sand
sources for use on the South County beach project. The third amendment to this work authorization will be
processed through Administration and proposes to reduce the scope of various tasks supporting the geotechnical
work, resulting in a net decrease in the contract amount of $186,347. This cost reduction will go towards funding
Work Authorization No. 3 (C08-12-633), which includes a scope of work for Coastal Tech to undertake the tasks
necessary for field investigations, design, permitting and construction administration to develop a mitigation reef.
FDEP has approved the concept and is drafting up an amendment to Project Agreement 11SL1 to reflect this effort.
Once the amendment to Project Agreement 11SL1 is received from FDEP and reviewed for approval by the County
Attorney, the amendment will be forwarded to the Chairman for signature. This amendment will continue to provide
