Review and Approvals [X] County Attorney: Daniel S. McIntyre CONCURRENCE: Faye W. Outlaw, MPA County Administrator RESOLUTION NO. 11-145 A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2011 AS "NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH" IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the following determinations: 1. Domestic Violence transcends all ethnic, racial and socioeconomic boundaries. Its perpetrators abuse their victims both physically and mentally, and the effects of their attacks are far reaching, weakening the very core of our County. 2. Domestic Violence is particularly devastating because it so often occurs in the privacy of the home, which is meant to be a place of shelter and security. 3. During the month of October, Americans should contemplate the scars that domestic violence leaves on our society and what each of us can do to prevent it. 4. Because domestic violence usuallytakes place in private,'many Americans may not realize how widespread it is. Each year in the United States, approximately 1.5 million women are raped and/or physically assaulted bytheircurrent orformer husbands, partners and/or boyfriends. 5. Many of these women are victimized more than once over the course of a year. As unsettling as these statistics are, it is also disturbingto realize thatthe children of battered women frequently witness these attacks, thus becoming victims themselves. 6. Our prosecutors, law enforcement officers and victim advocates have worked hard to reduce domestic violence in our County and to assist victims and their families. 7. Through education, awareness and enforcement, we are striving to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault. Public action awareness will create a society that promotes strong values, fosters a safe and loving home environment for every family and refuses to tolerate domestic violence in any form. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida: 1. This Board does hereby proclaim the month of October 2011 as "NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH" in St. Lucie County, Florida. 2. This Board urges all citizens to actively participate in the scheduled activities and programs sponsored by SafeSpace, Inc. to work toward the elimination of personal and institutional violence against women.

Crouch Gate across Gordy Road North of Midway Road BACKGROUND: Mr. Crouch requests permission to install a double wide gate across the right-of-way of Gordy Road North of Midway Road.' He has asked to put up this gate to stop the dumping of debris and letting their cattle out. When the fence is cut to gain access it causes the cattle to wander onto Midway Road, which is very dangerous for motorists and a nuisance for himself and law enforcement who are called to round up the cattle so no one gets hurts. The idea of the new location of the gate is trespassers can be seen from Midway Road, it will deter dumping, parking of occupied and unoccupied vehicles and trespassers could be seen cutting the fence to hunt and fish on the property. Staff has approved the Revocable License Agreement with the understanding if the gate creates any problems, the gate will be removed or relocated at the Licensee's sole expense. Mr. Crouch already has an agreement with Florida Power and Light, South Florida Water Management District, St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office and St. Lucie County Road and Bridge, who each have their own lock and a shared chain on other gates on the property and will include this gate. Mr. Crouch will absorb all expense to purchase a gate and labor to install. Mr. Crouch says there is nothing on the road other than the property they use to graze their cattle herd for the last 15 years. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board approve the Revocable License Agreement, authorize the Chairman to sign the Revocable License Agreement and direct Clyde D. Crouch to record the document in the Public Records of St. Lucie County, Florida. Respectfully submitted, TQAnn Riley Property Acquisition Manager 5. GORDY ROAD GATE LOCATION w-- 01 E.

We have held the leases for over 15 years to operate our commercial cattle operation on all the property that has Gordy Road as road frontage. Over the years we have had people drive on the Gordy Road access that goes directly to three of our access gates. The first gate opens where the power lines are, the second and third gate are at the end of the Gordy Road. There isn't anything on this road other than the property we use to graze our cattle herd. The complaint I am having with this road is that people are driving to the back unseen from Midway Road, they are trespassing to go hunting and fishing without permission to enter any of the property ( huge liability on property owner and myself the lease holder).They enter by cutting the fence and driving into the property again not being seen from Midway Road. This causes a huge liability on us by them letting the cattle exit the property. Which has cause us many times during the night to have to put cattle back in from cut fences that have roamed to Midway Road. We are always being notified by the St. Lucie County Sheriff office. But the worst part is the garbage being dumped by the public, we will find appliances,furniture, trash bags. This is continually making this road look terrible. They find it easier and less costly to dump their garbage on this section of Gordy Road. What I am asking is it would be possible to place a gate across Gordy Road set back from its entrance from Midway Road. The only people other than myself and property owner that need to access this road is FPL, South Florida Water Management, St. Lucie Sheriff Office, and St. Lucie County Road & Bridge, and any other county department you may need to access the road. Current we each have our own locks in a share chain on the gates already on this Gordy Road so anyone that needs entry, has their own lock and keys. l would be willing to absorb all expense to purchase a gate and labor to install. Everyone that already has access would put their lock on the new gate to allow them access, as they have on the other gates. If the gate shall be allowed this will reduce the garbage dumping, parking of occupied and unoccupied vehicles, trespassers, and cattle exiting onto Midway Road. Could you please review my request and call me at your earliest convenience. My numbers are listed if you have any questions.

This is a public safety issue. Some property owners use Street and Avenue for Douglas Road. In 1969, the Board approved the name Douglas Road. For some reason none of the property owners are using Road as their address. On July 27, 2011, Property Acquisitions sent letters to the property owners asking if they had a preference, and if not, County staff would ask the Board of County Commissioners to change the name to Douglas Street. Most of the residents are using Street. Staff received no responses and therefore is asking the Board to approve the name Douglas Street. Staff will notify the appropriate Utilities, the U. S. Postal Service, the Property Appraiser, the Supervisor of Elections, the St. Lucie County Sheriff and 911 for safety and notification purposes. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board approve Resolution No. 11-143, authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution and direct staff to notify the appropriate Utilities, the U. S.

According to the Sheriffs Office, scrap metal dealers are required to gather identification and description of scrap metals, however, they are not required to report to law enforcement as are pawn shops and second hand dealers. Several local governments, including Hillsborough County and Orange County, have adopted ordinances regulating secondary metals recyclers. On December 8, 2009, the Florida Attorney General issued an opinion (AGO 2009-55, copy attached) to the effect that local governments may adopt more restrictive local regulations for secondary metals recyclers than those set forth in Part I, Chapter 538, Florida Statutes. Attached to the memorandum is a copy of draft Ordinance No. 11-025 which, if adopted, would provide for some of the following requirements: elective reporting to law enforcement proof of ownership/origin of certain items requiring either electronic deposit payments and/or payment by check in the mail within 3 days to the address on the identification provided The ordinance was drafted using the Orange County ordinance as a model. RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the Board grant permission to advertise Ordinance No. 11-025 as drafted. ly subm DaniVS. McIntyre County Attorney j DSM/caf Attachment t Advisory Legal Opinion - Secondary metals cyclers, regulation by county Pagel of 5 Florida Attorney General Advisory Legal Opinion Number: AGO2009-65 Date: December 8, 2009 Subject: Secondary metals cyclers, regulation by county Ms. Renee Francis Lee County Attorney Hillsborough County, Florida Post Office Box 1110 Tampa, Florida 33601 RE: COUNTIES -,SECONDARY METALS RECYCLERS - ORDINANCES - PREEMPTION - SHERIFF - preemption of field of regulation of secondary metals recyclers to state. s. 538.17, Fla. Stat.; Part II, Ch. 538, Fla. Stat. Dear Ms. Lee: On behalf of the Board of County Commissioners and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, you have asked for my opinion on substantially the following question: Is Hillsborough County authorized to enact an ordinance imposing additional restrictions on secondary metals recyclers who are currently regulated under Part II, Chapter 538, Florida Statutes, or do those statutory provisions preempt this area of regulation to the state? In sum: Hillsborough County is authorized by section 538.17, Florida Statutes, to adopt more restrictive local regulations for secondary metals recyclers than those set forth in Part II, Chapter 538, Florida Statutes. According to your letter and that submitted on behalf of the Sheriff of Hillsborough County, there is a question whether the provisions of Part II, Chapter 538, Florida Statutes, preempt local regulation of secondary metals recyclers. The type of local regulation being considered would mandate that secondary metals recyclers located within Hillsborough County maintain that data required by section 538.19, Florida Statutes, in a uniform electronic format. While this office does not comment on the specific terms of local legislation, http://www.myfloridalegal.comlago.nsflprintview/61 DEAOC37F6B2AFF85257686007456... 9/22/2011 Advisory Legal Opinion - Secondary metals cyclers, regulation by county Page 2of5 the issue of preemption is a constitutional and statutory one and my general comments addressing preemption follow Hillsborough County operates under a constitutional home rule charter as provided in section 24, Article VIII of the Florida Constitution of 1885.[1] Section l(g), Article VIII, Florida Constitution, provides: "Charter government. Counties operating under county charters shall have all powers of local self-government not inconsistent with general law, or with special law approved by vote of the electors. The governing body of a county operating under a charter may enact county ordinances not inconsistent with general law:" Thus, charter counties have a direct constitutional grant of broad Powers of self-government, which include the power of county citizens to enable their county to enact regulations of county -wide effect. However, while charter counties possess extensive powers of self-government, legislation by such counties may not be inconsistent with provisions of general law.[2] In Jordan Chapel Freewill Baptist Church v. Dade County,[3] the court discussed whether a Dade County ordinance conflicted with state law. According to the court: "Legislative provisions are inconsistent if, in order to comply with one provision, a violation of the other is required . . . . [T]he sole test of conflict for purposes of preemption is the impossibility of co -existence of the two laws. Courts are therefore concerned with whether compliance with a County ordinance requires a violation of a state statute or renders compliance with a state statute impossible."[4] (emphasis in original) In Campbell v. Monroe County,[5] the district court of appeal struck down a county ordinance as conflicting with state statutes adopted to prohibit discrimination against manufactured housing. While the court recognized that a Florida county is authorized to enforce zoning requirements which primarily regulate aesthetic appearances within residential areas, the court found the local ordinance violative of a state statute requiring that such regulations be enforced "without any distinction as to whether such building is a conventionally constructed or manufactured building[.]11[6] The court noted: "An ordinance must not conflict with any controlling provisions of a state statute and if any doubt exists, doubt is to be resolved against the ordinance in favor of the statute."[7] Thus, while counties have broad powers of self-government, they may not adopt local legislation which conflicts with state law or on a subject which has been preempted to state regulation. http://www.myfloridalegal.comlago.nsflprintviewl6l DEAOC37F6B2AFF85257686007456... 9/22/2011 Advisory Legal Opinion - Secondary metals cyclers, regulation by county Page 3 of 5 Nothing in Chapter 538, Florida Statutes, indicates that the Legislature intended to preempt the field of regulation of secondary metals recyclers.[8] Rather, section 538.17, Florida Statutes, specifically provides: "Nothing in this chapter shall preclude political subdivisions of the state and municipalities from enacting laps more restrictive than the provisions of this chapter.,, While this language appears in Part I, Chapter 538, Florida Statutes, dealing with secondhand dealers, the language of the section relates to "this chapter." Part II of Chapter 538, Florida Statutes, regulates secondary metals recyclers specifically, but again, the language used by the Legislature clearly contemplates local regulation of all topics controlled by Chapter 538., Florida Statutes. This conclusion is supported by the legislative history surrounding the enactment of Chapter 89-533, Laps of Florida, which created Chapter 538. The Final Staff Analysis and Economic Impact Statement for Senate Bill 16-B which became Chapter 538, Florida Statutes (1989), notes that "[t]he bill would not prohibit local regulation of second-hand dealers or secondary metal recyclers."[9] (e.s.) The cardinal rule of statutory construction is that a statute should be construed so as to ascertain and give effect to the intention of the Legislature as expressed in the statute. Resort is first had to the language of the statute itself; however, when the language itself is unclear, the legislative history may be consulted for the purpose of determining the legislative i.ntent.[10] The Legislature did not intend by enacting Part II, Chapter 538, Florida Statutes, or by placing section 538.17, Florida Statutes, in the first section of that chapter, to preempt the field of local regulation of secondary metals recyclers. Rather, the authority of local governments to regulate in this area was the expressed intention of the Legislature. In sum, it is my opinion that Hillsborough County is subject to the terms of Chapter 538, Florida Statutes, but that to the extent such legislation is not inconsistent with these general statutory provisions, a charter county such as Hillsborough County may legislate in the area of regulation of secondary metals recyclers.

Projects to be funded under the federal -aid highway program are generally selected by state DOTs or Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), in cooperation with appropriate local officials, as. specified in 23 U.S.C. and implementing regulations. Territorial highway projects are funded in the same manner as other federal -aid highway projects, with the territorial transportation agency functioning in a manner similar to a state DOT. Most Federal Land Highway Program (FLHP) projects are administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Federal Lands Highway and its Divisions or by the various Florida Land Management Agencies (FLMAs). Under the FLHP, projects in the Indian Reservation Road (IRR) Program are selected by Tribal Governments and are approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the FHWA. Due to recent legislation, Tribal Governments meeting certain requirements may now administer various IRR projects on behalf of the BIA and FHWA. The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Park Service (NPS) select projects in the Refuge Road and Park Roads and Parkways Programs, respectively. For the Forest Highway Program, the Forest Service, the States and the FHWA jointly select projects.

Waae Level Commitment. As a condition precedent to and. as consideration for obtaining JGIG funds from the COUNTY, the COMPANY agrees to pay an average hourly wage of not less. than $15.00 per hour annually. This per hour wage will be adjusted on the third and six anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement for wage rate . inflation based upon the percentage increase of the Consumer Price Index from the date of the Agreement, then at three years and then six years from the Effective Date of the Agreement. The percentage change (in wage rate) will be added to the target wage rate in the Agreement. The COMPANY shall provide written verification satisfactory to the COUNTY that the average hourly wage of the jobs meets the average rate of $15.00 per hour in the first three years of the Agreement and adjusted as defined above in year three. The first report provided by the COMPANY will be the State of Florida Employer's Quarterly Report (Form UCT-6) including hours worked per month, total number of employees, gross wages paid in the quarter and a total of hours and wages for the Top Executive wages for the quarter previous to the JGIG Application Date.

The same calculation for the current year shall be made by taking the reported annual hours divided by 1820 (35 hours x 52 weeks) to arrive at a full time employee count. The Base Period employee count shall be subtracted from the current employee count then comparing to the minimum jobs committed by the COMPANY to create.

DATE: August 24, 2010 SUBJECT: Project Draft — Letter of Intent ITEM NO. VI-D1 Background: Project Draft has requested economic development incentives in consideration of employee expansion at their existing boat manufacturing facility in Fort Pierce. The company reopened its operations under new ownership in December 2009 after the previous owner filed for bankruptcy and ceased operations at the location in early 2009. This particular industrial activity is an eligible industry on the County's Qualified Target Industries (QTI) list. To date, 22 employees have been hired at an average wage of $15 per hour with the intent of hiring up to 100 total employees within the next four years. The assessed valuation of the existing building in which Project Draft has current operations is already recorded on the County's tax roll. The owner is not planning for any additional capital improvement investments into the facility. As such, the company is not eligible for an economic development ad valorem tax exemption. Even though this company will pay an average wage less than the current St. Lucie County average wage . of $15.78 per hour, staff has taken into consideration the owner's commitment to hire a total of 100 employees (78 new employees over four (4) years) at an average wage of $15 per hour, 5% less than St. Lucie County's current average wage. Following the recommendation of the Economic Development Council, the possibility of other related key businesses being attracted to St. Lucie County and the County's current unemployment rate, staff is recommending that Project Draft receive a Job Growth Investment Grant (JGIG) in._the amount of $146,250 phased over five years ($29, 250 per year). Recommendation Board authorization to have the County Administrator send a Letter of Intent to offer Project Draft a Job Growth Investment Grant (JGIG) in the amount of $146,250 phased over five years ($29,250 per year)..

VI-G2 Background: This agenda request is for Board acceptance of attached Budget Resolution No. 11-153 establishing the fund for the Florida Department Transportation (FDOT) grant in the amount of $1,520,000, with a local match of $380,000. The purpose is to fund modernizing the Airport Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Facility. This project was approved under the FY 2011 Capital Improvement Program. All Airport funds are budgeted and available with no contributions required from the general fund The existing CBP was built in 1980. This facility and its associated operations have grown over the last 30 years to include processing of all commercial and private marine vessels entering the Port of Fort Pierce, commercial truck processing, and overseas passenger processing at the airport. Due to the continued growth of the airport and CBP operations and responsibilities, the current CBP facility does not support existing operations. Expansion of the facility is needed to maintain compliance with existing Department of Homeland Security/CBP facility requirements. Though the facility is currently not compliant, the Airport is not at risk of facing regulatory action by CBP. With the Airport being responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the CBP facility, the renovations will also assist in reducing building -related utility and maintenance costs. The Terminal and CBP Facility renovations are part of a multi -year project that started in April 2009, consisting of the Phase 1 Terminal Renovations & CBP Facility Design; Phase 2 CBP Facility Renovations, and the Terminal & CBP Apron Rehabilitation. Total project amount is $5,377,500. FDOT has provided $4,302,000 in grant funding and the required local match of $1,075,500 is in place. Phase 1 of the project is fully funded with a portion of the FDOT grant funds set aside for the Phase 2 design of the CBP facility renovations. The Phase 1 Terminal Renovation project was awarded in June 2011. Recommendation Board approval of Budget Resolution No. 11-153 which establishes the fund for the FDOT grant for the Terminal and Customs & Border Protection Facility Renovations (Phase 2), and authorization for the Chairman to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney. RESOLUTION NO. 11-153 WHEREAS, subsequent to the adoption of the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners budget for St. Lucie County, certain funds not anticipated at the time of adoption of the budget have become available from the Florida Department of Transportation through a Joint Participation Agreement, in the amount of $1,520,000, as funding for the Terminal and Customs & Border Protection (CBP) Facility Renovations (Phase 2) at the St. Lucie County International Airport.

Project Description Scott/Wescott, a Florida General Partner- ship, is requesting a change in zoning from the IX (Industrial, Extraction) Zoning District to the CO (Commercial, Office) Zoning Dis- trict. The subject parcel is 1 acre and con- tains an existing 2,868 square foot office building utilized by Scott Groves, Inc. Background On January 6, 1998, the subject property was included in a rezoning petition for an adjacent 36 acre tract that was rezoned from an AG-1 (Agricultural -1 du/ac) Zoning District to the IX (Industrial, Extraction) Zoning District. The legal description sup- plied by the applicant in that rezoning peti- tion unintentionally included the subject property. The property contains an existing office building that was constructed in 1992 to serve as the Scott Groves, Inc. business office. As a result of the rezoning to IX the business office became a . noncon- forming use. This petition would bring the site back into conformance with the County's zoning regulations. Recommended Action Adopt Resolution No. 11-001 granting a change in zoning from IX (Industrial, Extraction) to CO (Commercial, Of- fice). Notice Requirements A public hearing notice was placed in the St. Lucie News Tribune, letters sent to property owners within 500 feet of the subject property, and a sign placed on the property. Public Input Received: None Further details are found in the at- tached memorandum and staff report. Planning and Development Services Department MEMORANDUM TO: Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, Planning and Development Services Directo' Kara Wood, Planning Manager Vr1 FROM: Diana Waite, AICP, Senior Planner,f),o ) DATE: October 4, 2011 SUBJECT: Rezoning Request — Scott/Westcott ITEM NO. VII-A Background: This item is the request of Scott/Westcott, General Partnership for a change in zoning of a 1 acre parcel from the IX (Industrial, Extraction) Zoning District to the CO (Commercial, Office) Zoning District. The parcel is located on the east side of North Rock Road, approximately one-half mile north of Orange Avenue and 1,000 feet west of Interstate 95. The purpose of the request is to correct an unintentional rezoning of the subject parcel when the adjacent 36 plus acres were rezoned to IX (Industrial Extraction) in 1998 to bring the use of the existing office building back into compliance with the County's Land Development Code. The parcel is the location of the office for Scott Groves, Inc. which has operated at this location since the building was constructed in 1992. The rezoning of the parcel in 1998 placed the existing office building in a non -conforming status. The CO Zoning District list of permitted uses include uses conducted in the business office and will bring the office back into compliance with the land development code. On July 21, 2011, the St. Lucie County Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this matter and recommended approval of the change in zoning by an unanimous vote (7-0). Because of the proximity of the subject parcel to the City of Fort Pierce, this petition was forwarded to the Fort Pierce planning staff for review. On September 14, 2011, we received the City's support for the requested change in zoning. Staff's review of this petition has resulted in a determination that the proposed amendment to the zoning atlas 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 adoption. of Resolution No. 11-001 granting a change in zoning from IX (Industrial, Extraction) to CO (Commercial, Office). Environmental Resources Department Final Report TO: Diana Waite, Planning & Development Services Department THROUGH: Karen L. Smith, Environmental Resources Department Director FROM: Amy Griffin, Environmental Regulations and Lands Division Manager DATE: April 18, 2011 SUBJECT: Scott/Wescott, A Florida General Partnership Rezoning RZ 320071098 Background The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the' October 26, 2010 Planning and Development Services' date -stamped submittal. The applicant requests approval of a rezoning from IX (Industrial, Extraction) to CO (Commercial, Office) to allow for continued use of the existing agricultural administrative office building. Once the rezoning has been approved, the Planning and Development Services Department will process a lot split, to separate the rezoned area from the IX - zoned parent parcel. Environmental Resources staff has completed a site visit and review. The one -acre project site is located on the east side of Rock Road, just north of the St. Lucie County Jail. The site consists of an existing office building, associated parking, and some landscaping. Findings During a site visit on October 27, 2010, staff observed unauthorized clearing occurring on the subject site and the larger parent parcel. Staff conveyed the issue to .the clearing contractor during the site visit, and also reported the issue to the County's Code Enforcement staff. On November 5, 2010, ERD provided formal comments to the applicant, through the Development Review Committee, noting the need for the applicant to remedy the unauthorized clearing. Subsequently, on March 1, 2011, the applicant's environmental consultant provided a report to ERD, including photos and other documentation, concluding that only invasive exotic vegetation (primarily Brazilian pepper) and dead trees were removed by the land clearing contractor. On March 8, 2011, ERD staff responded with an approval of the report. The applicant then submitted an application for after -the -fact approval of the vegetation removal activities on March 17, 2011; ERD issued an after -the -fact permit exemption on April 1, 2011. Therefore, the clearing violation has been remedied. Recommendation ERD recommends approval of the rezoning. ERD staff is available to answer questions or meet to help expedite the process. Please contact Amy Griffin at 772-462-2531 if you have any questions or would like to meet. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 RESOLUTION NO. 11-001 FILE NO.: RZ 320071098 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF ST.

Scott secretive about giving economic incentive tax money n Critics say this violates the state's Sunshine laws By Marcia Hera" Pounds sun Sentinel Secrecy is often a part of negotiating for new headquarters or an exa pan- sionofacompanyis Flori- da. But even when the deal is done, Florida's economic development agency often keep s the employer's iden- tity from the public for 12 months. Sometimes, regional agencies announce the newly relocating com- pany and jobs promised, but don't disclose cash incentives awarded to a company from the Govec- nor's Quick Action Closing fund, a tool used to help close the gap in sin for semployer. And unlike previous Florida governors, Gov. Rick Scott can award up to $2 million from the fund at his discretion. job -stymied states across the nation are com- peting for new employers, often dangling upfront cash and tax rebates. Un- der Floridalaw, the gover- nor's multimillion -dollar awards can remain secret for a year or longer, if the company requests it. So far this year, Scott has agreed to give more than $15 million to 16 com- panies, according to Enter- prise Florida, the state's economic development partnership, when queried about the fund. But the names of eight employers receiving awards remain confidential. Four potential employ- ers also have been given the nod for $9.6 million in incentives, but have not yet decided whether to locate in Florida, the eco- nomic agency said. Critics say the state's economic development process should be more open, since it involves taxpayers' money. "Allowingtheeovescor to make those kinds of decisions arguably Ries in the face of the intent of Sunshine laws," said Rep. Mark Pafford, D-West Palm Beach, referring to Florida's open -govern - meat laws. 'There are plenty of ways to create jobs in the open.". Barbara Petersen, president of Florida First Amendment Foundation, calls the public records exemption for economic development a "paternal- T-bills up over EU debt concerns The Associated Press NEW YORK - Treasury prices rose Monday af- ter nervous investors returned to safe invest- ments on worries over the fallout of weak Euro- pean debt on the global Macke," Investors feared that Greece may not qualify for emergency funds it needs to avoid default. Athens struggled to con- vince officials from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the Internation- al Monetary Fund that the country could meet strict budget targets promised in return for the interna- tional cash lifeline. European finance min- isters said Friday that they would delay authorizing an installment of emer- gency funds for Greece. Investors had been hop- ingfor an earlier decision. Thebenchmarkl0-year Treasury note's price was up 84 cents per $100 in- vested. Its yield edged down to 1.95 percent from 2.07 percent late Friday. The 30-year Treasury bond gained $1.81 per $100 invested. Its yield fell to 3.22 percent from 3.33 percent. The two-year Treasury note's yield was 0.16 per- cent versus 0.19 percent. The three-month T-bill paid a yield of 0.01 per- cent, unchanged from late Thursday. Its discount wasn't available. Netflix separates DVD service from online streaming By Barbaro Ortutay As ruxi Press NEWYORK- NetHix Inc. is separating its DVD- by-mail business from the online movie stream- ing service it sees as the future of entertainment consumption. In announcing the changes, CEO Reed Hast- ings also apologized to subscribers for the way the company communi- cated its decision to split the two services, which raisedp _forthosewho wan[both. Themailorderplxr iN be renamed "Qwikster." In a few weeks, NetHix sub- scribers who want to get DVDs by mail will go to a separate website to access Qwikster. The streaming business will continue to be called Netfiix. Memberswhosubscribe to both services will have two entries on their credit card statements. Instead of Netflix, the distinctive red envelopes that end up in customers' mailboxes will now say Qwikster. It's a risky gamble. The amount of stream- ing content the company offers is still far less than the number ofDVDs in its catalog. And competition, r.,..., v..u, A..,.,.,,.., r ;.,_ stays Redbox kiosks and other services, is growing. Netfiix could even alien- ate customers further by asking them to now deal with two separate web - sites and accounts instead adjust one. Hastings apologized for the way the company communicated the price changes, but not for the price hike itself. "I messed up:' the CEO wrote in a blog post Sun- day night that also was emailed to subscribers. The changes come as the company faces in- creasing scrutiny from customers and share- holders over the decision announced in July to sep- arate its mailorder stri ternet streaming services into two separate plans. The change raised the prices for users who want both services, by as much as 60 percent for some. Last week, Netflixlow- ered its U.S. subscriber forecast forthe third quar- ter and the former stock market darling's shares took a beating as a result. Hastings said he "slid into arrogancebased upon past success" when he did not adequately explain the reasons behind the plan separation and effective istic form of government. ing that Florida formerly 'We're act, in yourbes[ disclosed its governor interest by keeping these fund incentives online, deals secret.'

Scott/Wescott: RZ 720071098 47 Petition of ScottlWescott, a Florida General Partnership for a change in zoning 48 from the IX (Industrial, Extraction) Zoning District to the CO (Commercial, 49 Office) Zoning District. 50 Ms. Waite .stated agenda Item 3-A is a public hearing and was advertised in the St. Lucie 51 News Tribune on -July 5, 2011, A copy of the ad can be found in the agenda packet along 52 with a picture of the sign posted on the property and a list of property owners within 500 feet 53 on the property that received the standard public hearing notice. To date, no public 54 comments on this item have been received. 55 The subject parcel is located at 650 North Rock Road, approximately one-half mile north of 56 Orange Avenue and 1,100 feet west of the Florida Turnpike. The parcel contains a business 57 office constructed in 1992 in conformance with the property's AG-1 Zoning District at that 58 time. The petitioner owns the adjacent 36 plus acres that extend to 1-95 to the north and 59 east. The purpose of the request is to correct the inadvertent rezoning of the one -acre parcel 60 to Industrial Extraction and bring the existing business office building back into conformance 61 with the County's Land Development Code. 62 In 1998, a change in zoning of the adjacent lands to Industrial Extraction unintentionally 63 included the subject parcel with 2,868 square foot office building. The Industrial Extraction 64 Zoning District is a specialized zoning district for mining operations only. This placed the 65 existing business office for Scott Groves in a nonconforming status at the time of the 1998 66 rezoning. The existing office operation includes bookkeeping, management and business 67 services which are permitted uses within the Commercial Office Zoning District. The 68 rezoning would allow the business to continue in conformance with the County's Land 69 Development Code. 70 -The proposed Commercial Office Zoning District is compatible with the zoning districts 71 surrounding the parcel which includes: Industrial, Heavy to the west and south, Industrial 72 Extraction zoning to the east and north, and Institutional zoning to the southwest which is the 73 location of the St. Lucie County Correctional Center. No mining activities ever occurred or 74 were; proposed for the Industrial Extraction zoned lands. All surrounding parcels are 75 primarily vacant except the adjacent storage container operation to the south and the 76 county's Correctional Center to the southwest. 77 In reviewing this petition, staff found that the proposed amendment is consistent with the St. 78 Lucie County Comprehensive Plan and meets the standards of review set forth in Section 79 11.06.03 of the County's Land Development Code. Staff recommends the Planning & 80 Zoning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the Board of County 81 Commissioners. 82 Mr. Lounds asked if the parcel had always been in Industrial Extraction. Planning and Zoning Commission June 16, 2011 Minutes DRAFT Page 3 of 6 Ms. Waite stated no, the zoning was changed in 1998 from Agricultural One to Industrial Extraction. Mr. Lounds asked if St. Lucie County ever resolve its issues with the piece at the northwest corner of Rock Road. Ms. Waite stated if he was referring to the mining issue; there was a petition submitted to change the land use designation on that property, however, there were some non- compliance issues related to the mining operation and to her knowledge that has not been resolved. Mr. Lounds stated that this is an additional piece that is currently in zoning for extraction. Ms. Waite stated yes. Mr. Grande stated he had no problem with the application; it is the right zoning for this property at the time. In checking the consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, it was noticed that the current version of the Plan's table for matching zonings with future land uses; does not include the Commercial Zonings: That could be an oversight and needs to be corrected. This should appear in the minutes so .the next glitch bill should correct the Land Development Code. Ms. Waite stated that was correct; there are copies of the compatibility matrix that shows the future land use designation zoning districts that are compatible can be applied to any particular parcel. There are copies of those that are adopted in the Comprehensive Plan for the Commission; there was an oversight in copying that section of the Land Development Code so half of. the matrix is not in your LDC, Mr. Grande stated it comes down to Table 11-1 in the Land Development Code that needs to be updated. Chairman Mundt asked the applicant if he wanted to speak. Mr. Fee, the applicant stated his law practice is located at 426 Avenue A, Ft. Pierce, FL. He wanted to thank Ms_ Waite for the help on this project. We did not know how to attack this and the easiest way was for the. Commission to motion the property back to Agricultural-1 for the office building which would make it conforming. There was no A-1 in the vicinity, it's all Industrial, Heavy Industrial or Industrial Extraction. It did not seem appropriate to go back to A-1 zoning so it was settled on Commercial Office. The office building was never owned in title by the entity Scott Groves, Inc. that owned the surrounding land. It was a glitch in the legal description that the office building was included. We are asking to be restored to status quo to make it a conforming use. The office building has been at the location since 1992 and serves as a management vehicle for a very vast agricultural holding in this county, other Planning and Zoning Commission June 16, 2011 Minutes DRAFT Page 4 of 6 126 counties and the Bahamas. It is requested that the Commission go along with the 127 recommendation of the staff and rezone the property back to Commercial Office. 128 129 Mr. Lounds asked if the Scott family owned the building and the property. 130 131 Mr. Fee stated the building and the property that the building is on has been titled since prior 132 to the construction of the building and a partnership known as Scott/Wescott General 133 Partnership. The surrounding lands have always been owned by Scott Groves Inc.; a 134 different entity. Admittedly, they are 2 first cousins, Kenny Scott has Scott Groves Inc. and 135 Scott/Wescott is a partnership of Ken Scott and his cousin Dan Scott. So it is all mixed up 136 together and that's the reason this error was not detected for so long. 137 138 Chairman Mundt opened the public hearing. 139 No one spoke. 140 Chairman Mundt closed the public hearing. 141 Mr. Lounds made a motion for the Planning and Zoning Board to recommend that the 142 St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners grant approval to the application of, 143 Scott/Wescott for a change in'zoning from IX (Industrial, Extraction) Zoning District to 144 the CO (Commercial, Office) Zoning District because it brings the piece of property 145 into compliance with the current regulations and rules. 146 Mr. Grande seconded the motion. 147 The roll was called: 148 Mr. Balzak YES Mr. Grande YES 149 Mr. Lounds YES Ms. Morgan YES 150 Mr. Regis YES Chairman Mundt YES 151 Ms.: Townsend YES 152 Chairman Mundt stated this will be forwarded on to the Board of County 153 Commissioners with the recommendation of approval. 154 155 IV. OTHER BUSINESS 156 Ms. Wood stated the Western Land Study scope of public involvement sessions is being 157 brought to a close. On August 19t" there will be a follow-up assembly to provide a summary 158 of what is in the draft report for the Western Land Study. 159 Ms. Wood stated staff does not have anything that is time -sensitive so there would be no 160 August Planning & Zoning meeting. 161 Mr. Lounds asked if they would get a chance to review the Western Land Study or does it go 162 straight to the county commission board. Planning and Zoning Commission June 16, 2011 Minutes DRAFT Page 5 of 6 163 Ms. Wood stated that there is no particular scheduled review for the report itself. The report 164 does contain a proposed comprehensive plan element for those lands. 165 Mr. Lounds asked if they could request comments from the meeting on August 19th if they do 166 not attend. 167 Ms. Wood asked if the commission wanted a summary; she could come back to the planning 168 & zoning commission to talk about what comments were received. 169 Mr. Lounds stated the commission would enjoy that. 170 Ms. Wood stated that could be done; informally the report has been "out on the street" since 171 the end of May and there have been a couple of informal meetings of stakeholders and 172 property owners who asked questions and came into the office to discuss. 173 Mr. Lounds stated this commission has gone through a lot of that with the Western Land 174 movement over the history of it and it would be good for their background if staff could bring 175 a short review of it; especially pro and con comments. 176 Ms. Wood stated perhaps at the September meeting, it could be discussed briefly at the end 177 ..of the agenda. 178 Mr. Grande stated a while back the Rural Land Stewardship program was brought to the 179 County and it initially was a well-meaning exercise and it turned out that the increases in 180 residential entitlements that were built into that plan that such it had to be killed and it never 181 was implemented. The one thing he has not seen so far out of the Western Land Study is a 182 calculation of potentially how many residential entitlements could maximum wind up in the 183 western lands. It is easy to say today there are about 200,000 acres; the average is 1 per 5 184 out there and 40,000 residential entitlements in the western lands today. If this plan comes 185 up with more than 40,000 residential entitlements, that could be a real problem. 186 Ms. Wood stated that in the appendix of the study there is a background of technical 187 analyses of what you can do where, based on how much land is in what area. 188 Mr. Grande stated that history has shown that the TVC probably made it through the process 189 because people could wrap their arms around what their maximum entitlements would wind 190 up. 191 Mr. Lounds asked where the meeting would be held. 192 Ms. Wood stated the Fenn Center, a morning session from 9am to 12 noon. 193 194 Planning and Zoning Commission June 16, 2011 Minutes DRAFT 195 V. 196 197 198 199 200 2.01 202 203 204 205 206 Page 6 of 6 ADJOURN Chairman Mundt stated the next meeting will be in September.

The SLC Correctional Center is shown on the right. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The subject parcel contains a business office constructed in 1992 in conformance with the AG-1 Zoning District of the property at that time. On January 6, .1998, the subject lands were included in a rezoning petition to change the adjacent lands from the AG-1 Zoning District to the IX Zoning District. The rezoning petition included a legal description that included the subject site and existing business office. The IX Zoning District is a specialized zoning district for mining operations only, placing the existing business office for Scott Groves, Inc. in a nonconforming status at the time of the 1998 rezoning to IX. Since the resolution that approved the change in zoning included the subject one -acre parcel, the only way to change the zoning district is to proceed through this rezoning process. ************************************** STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH.IN SECTION 11.06.03, ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE In reviewing this application for proposed change in zoning, the Board of County Commissioners shall consider and make the following determinations: 1. Whether the proposed rezoning is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code; The proposed change in zoning will not be in conflict with the St. Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC) and has met the standards of review in Section 11.06.03. According to Land Development Code Section 11.09.02, Table 11-1, Land Use Category/Zoning District Compatibility Chart, the CO (Commercial, Office) Zoning District is compatible with the property's RS (Residential Suburban) Future Land Use designation. Scott/Wescott Rezoning File No.: RZ 320071098 July 21, 2011 Page 4 The applicant has requested the change in zoning to bring the existing 2,868 square foot business office on the property into conformity with the County's Land Development Code. The business practices at the existing Scotts Grove office include bookkeeping and management services, which are permitted uses in the CO Zoning District under Engineering, Accounting, Research, Management and Related Services (SIC 87). The parcel and improvements meet the Lot Size and Dimensional Requirements set forth in Section 7.04.00 and Table 7-10 for the CO (Commercial, Office) Zoning District. The minimum dimensional requirements for the zoning district and those provided by the subject parcel are shown below: 10 LDC Dimensional Requirements of the zoning uistrml from Table 7- CO Zoning District Minimum Requirement Subject Parcel Lot Size 10,000 square feet 43,657 square feet 149X293 Lot Width 75 feet 150 feet Road Frontage 60 feet 149 feet Front Setback 25 feet 80 feet Rear Setback 20 feet 153 feet Side Setback 10 feet 43'feet (south) 28 feet north Building Height 35 feet One stor , approximately 15 feet Lot Coverage by Bldg. 50 % 6.5% 2. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan; The proposed amendment is consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, including the parcel's RS (Residential Suburban) Future Land Use designation which allows the proposed CO Zoning District. The CO Zoning District is a low intensity non-residential use that is consistent with the parcel's RS and surrounding MXD Future Land Use designations. The CO Zoning District will allow the existing business office to operate in compliance with the zoning district regulations and provide a zoning district compatible with the existing and proposed land uses in the area. Specifically, the proposed rezoning is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan goal and policy: Future Land Use Goal 1.1: Ensure the highest quality living environment possible, through a mixture of land uses reflecting the needs and desires of the local residents and how they want their community to develop. The goal shall be implemented by strictly enforced building, zoning and development codes based on objectives and policies that will enhance St. Lucie County's natural and man-made resources while minimizing any damage or threat of degradation to the health, safety, and welfare of the County's Citizens, native wildlife and environment, through incompatible land uses. Future Land Use Policy 1.1.8.4: Limited development of commercial/non-residential uses will be allowed within areas classified for residential use, provided that these activities are compatible with the adjacent land uses and meet the following standards: a) intent of the commercial use is to provide easily accessible, convenience -type uses to immediate surrounding residents; b) conversion of the petitioned property would not promote any strip commercial us of land, c) use is compatible with surrounding land uses and is provided with adequate screening and buffering of any adjacent residential property; d) the property for which the commercial designation is sought does not exceed 10 acres. Scott/Wescott Rezoning File No.: RZ 320071098 July 21, 2011 Page 5 The petition meets the above criteria, except for the provision to sere immediate surrounding residents. The parcel is within an existing and proposed commercial corridor that does not include residential uses in close proximity. All surrounding lands have non-residential Zoning and Future Land Use classifications. The subject parcel and the adjacent IX zoned lands owned by the applicant still have a residential Future Land Use that limits the commercial zoning district options to CO or CN (Commercial, Neighborhood). The existing office conducts business practices permitted in the CO Zoning District for corporate and private business ventures in the community. Given the accessibility of the site to Orange Avenue, future users may provide alternative CO uses that sere residents along Orange Avenue or the surrounding businesses. 3. Whether and the extent to which the proposed zoning is inconsistent with the existing and proposed land uses; - The proposed CO Zoning District is consistent with the surrounding existing and proposed land uses. The applicant constructed the existing building in 1992 and has operated the business on the property since that time. The surrounding land uses consist of a variety of uses, including industrial, institutional and vacant lands. Existing industrial uses are located just south of the project, in the MXD-Orange Avenue (Orange Avenue/1-95 Mixed Use Activity Area) on. the east side of North Rock Road. These uses include Gibney storage units, American Concrete and the Ft. Pierce Auto Auction. In 1995, lands to the west were zoned IH (Industrial, Heavy) to accommodate a proposed commercial and industrial park known as St. Lucie Commerce Center (aka Lucie Rock). No mining activities ever occurred or were proposed for the adjacent IX zoned lands. The applicant's agent, Mr. Fee, has indicated an interest in the rezoning of the adjacent lands to an agricultural zoning district. Staff has advised Mr. Fee that an agricultural zoning district in this identified economic development location would be in conflict with the County's economic development efforts and policies and would likely not be supported by staff. 4. Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment; The. subject parcel was inadvertently included within the legal description of an application for a change in zoning to IX for adjacent lands in 1998. This resulted in the creation of a nonconforming use for the existing office building. The proposed rezoning will bring the property back into compliance with the zoning district regulations and provide a zoning district more compatible with the surrounding uses than the AG-1 Zoning District that was applied to the parcel prior to the IX rezoning. 5. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands on public facilities, and whether or to the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the. capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited to transportation' facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, and emergency medical facilities; The applicant has signed a Concurrency Deferral Affidavit stating that prior to any development on the property a Certificate of Capacity must be obtained to demonstrate that the development facility demands will not exceed the capacity of public facilities. No additional improvements are proposed for the property at this time. Any future expansions will require issuance of a Certificate of Capacity. Scott/Wescott Rezoning File No.: RZ 320071098 July 21, 2011 Page 6 Stormwater Management The subject property borders two canals owned and maintained by the North St. Lucie Water Control District (NSLWCD). Canal 33 located along the project's western property line and adjacent to North Rock Road has an 86 feet right -of way. Canal 44 has a 43-foot wide right of way located along the parcels southern property line. Any future changes to the property that would affect the outfall of water into either of these canals will require a permit from the NSLWCD. Water and Sewer The proposed change in zoning is not expected to affect public facility capacity. The property is currently served by Ft. Pierce Utilities Authority water and an on -site wastewater system. Transportation The proposed request is not expected to result in excess demands on transportation facilities. No new development is proposed. Prior to any additional development on the property, the applicant would be required to address public facility impacts and .obtain a Certificate . of Capacity to demonstrate that sufficient capacity in services is available to serve the project. The parcel's road frontage is North Rock Road, an unpaved 50-foot wide County owned and maintained right-of-way. Roadways utilized by the site that are identified within the Adopted Florida Department of Transportation Five Year Work Program For FY 2011-2015 include a road resurfacing project from Orange Avenue, west of 1-95 for 4.5 miles west (Const. 2012) and the preliminary engineering and designs for road widening improvements (adding lanes) to 1-95 from SR 70 to Indrio Road. The schedule also includes preliminary engineering for the addition of lanes and reconstruction of Kings Highway from the Turnpike to south of the 1-95 overpass. Capacity at the Kings Highway and Orange Avenue intersection currently is insufficient as a result of other proposed projects in the area. Any additional development on the subject lands may require the developer to provide a fair share contribution towards intersection improvements. 6. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment; The proposed change in zoning is not expected to have adverse impacts on the natural environment. The parcel is already developed and this petition does not authorize any additional alteration of the project lands. Any future development requiring vegetation removal will require approval by the St. Lucie Environmental Resources Department. 7. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in an orderly and logical development pattern specifically identifying any negative affects of such patterns; The proposed amendment would result in an orderly and logical development pattern. The proposed rezoning will expand the commercial zoning districts within an economic development targeted area identified in the County's report entitled Strategic Economic Development For Targeted Industries (October 2007). 8. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this Code; The proposed amendment is not in conflict with the public interest and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code. Scott/Wescott Rezoning File No.: RZ 320071098 July 21, 2011 Page 7 COMMENTS The petitioner has requested this change in zoning from IX (Industrial, Extraction) Zoning to the CO (Commercial, Office) Zoning District for a one -acre tract located at 650 North Rock Road, approximately one-half mile north of Orange Avenue. The stated purpose of the petition is to bring the existing use of the building into conformity with the County's Land Development Code. Prior to issuance of zoning compliance the Zoning Division will inspect the building and site for compliance with all applicable County building and site design standards. In considering the proposed change in zoning, all uses within the CO (Commercial, Office) Zoning District that are permitted by right may be located on the property without any further Board review. Attached is a copy of Section 3.01.03(R) — CO (Commercial, Office) of the St. Lucie County Land Development 'Code, which outlines the permitted, accessory, and conditional uses allowed in the existing and proposed zoning district. If the change in zoning is approved, the applicant, by right, would be allowed to establish any of the uses under the Permitted Uses section. Any use under the Accessory Uses section would be allowed only if one or more of the permitted uses exist on the subject property. Any use under the Conditional Uses section could only be allowed if it first receives approval through the Board of County Commissioners. Recommendation Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission forward a recommendation of approval for Board adoption of Resolution No. 11-001 granting approval of rezoning request from IX (Industrial, Extraction) to CO (Commercial, Office), as outlined in this memorandum.

Smith, Environmental Resources Department Director FROM: Amy Griffin, Environmental Regulations and Lands Division Manager DATE: April 18, 2011 SUBJECT: Scott/Wescott, A Florida General Partnership Rezoning RZ 320071098 Background The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the October 26, 2010 Planning and Development Services' date -stamped submittal. The applicant requests approval of a rezoning from IX (Industrial, Extraction) to CO (Commercial, Office) to allow for continued use of the existing agricultural administrative office building. Once the rezoning has been approved, the Planning and Development Services Department will process a lot split, to separate the rezoned area from the IX - zoned parent parcel. Environmental Resources staff has completed a site visit and review. The one -acre project site is located on the east side of Rock Road, just north of the St. Lucie County Jail. The site consists of an existing office building, associated parking, and some landscaping. Findings During a site visit on October 27, 2010, staff observed unauthorized clearing occurring on the subject site and the larger parent parcel. Staff conveyed the issue to the clearing contractor during the site visit, and also reported the issue to the County's Code Enforcement staff. On November 5, 2010, ERD provided formal comments to the applicant, through the Development Review Committee, noting the need for the applicant to remedy the unauthorized clearing. Subsequently, on March 1, 2011, the applicant's environmental consultant provided a report to ERD, including photos and other documentation, concluding that only invasive exotic vegetation (primarily Brazilian pepper) and dead trees were removed by the land clearing contractor. On March 8, 2011, ERD staff responded with an approval of the report. The applicant then submitted an application for after -the -fact approval of the vegetation removal activities on March 17, 2011; ERD issued an after -the -fact permit exemption on April 1, 2011. Therefore, the clearing violation has been remedied. Recommendation ERD recommends approval of the rezoning. ERD staff is available to answer questions or meet to help expedite the process. Please contact Amy Griffin at 772-462-2531 if you have any questions or would like to meet. 1 RESOLUTION NO. 11-001 2 FILE NO.: RZ 320071098 3 4 5 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY 6 COMMISSIONERS OF ST.
