Wastewater Facilities - South Hutchinson Island - St. Lucie
County, Florida". This report reviewed data furnished to the
County by SoUth Hutchinson Services, Inc., who proposed to
construct a regional wastewater system on South Hutchinson
Island. There were several items Mr. Anderson felt the
Commissioners should be aware of:

either a private or pubIic body may be
the 201 Plan previousiy approved.
- The private utility option is largely based on the
assumption that Florida Power & Light is in agreement with
this proposal, but no evidence is provided to support this.
- In 1979, St. Lucie County, in connection with the City of
Ft. Pierc~, prepared a Section 201Wastewater Facilities
using PL 92-500 funds. The construction of a
Hutchinson Island by
viewed as contrary to
- It is suggested that the County determine what legal
rights the County now has in connection with the provision
of publicly owned wastewater facilities within the
anticipated area.
Mr. Anderson coocluded his report by advising the Board that this
report was prepared for comparing user cost for a common
wastewater facility, and was not intended nor does it purport to
be a feasibility study for either a public or privately owned
regional wastewater facility.
(b) Public Hearing - Zonin~ This item was continued from the
Regular Meeting of October 27', 1987, in which staff was directed
tO look at alternate sites for the location of a wastewater
treatment plant. The report of the located Properties was
presented bY~ County Planner Dennis Murphy and Environmental
Principal Planner Chris Bore.
The following individuals appeared before the Board to answer
questions from the 8card, and also to express concerns over the
proposed zoning petition:

Regular Meeting of December 8, 1987. Attorney McIntyre advised
the Board that the County fs mandated by statute to advertise
and hold the election. However, the Attorney feels there is a
certain amount of risk involved, and would like to have some of
the questions and concerns answered.
Attorney Debbie Sawyer, ~ep~esenting the petitioners, suggested

subject "Proposed South Hutchinson Island Sewer District,,.
Reference was also made to letter from Property ApPraiser James

above referenced subject. '
County Attorney McIntyre provided background information on this
item, and also stated that this issue was on the agenda for the
Regular Meeting on Tuesday, December 15, 1987. During the
discussion of this issue, concern was expressed by a few
residents of South Hutchinson Island regarding the original
petitions that had been signed for the MSTU. Many of the
residents had thought they were signing a petition for the County
to go forward with an MSTU, when in fact, they were signing a
petition for Chapter 15~ action. Attorney McIntyre advised the
8card that because of confusion on the part of the residents as
to which petition they had signed, that he would recommend this
item be tabled for one week.
Those people who responded to this discussion were: Zella Brown
and Fran Neubauer. Debbie Sawyer, attorney for several
condominium associations on the island, also spoke to this issue.
She advised the 8card that several months ago, some of the
concerned residents had approached Com. Minix and Com. Fenn
requesting the County to Perform a sewer study, rather than going
with a private facility. These residents were asked to furnish
the Commissioners with petitions showing support of an MSTU, at
which time the matter would be considered. Ms. Sawyer has the
original petitions for the requested MSTU in her office, stating
she had been advised by the County Engineering Office they needed
only a few petitions from Condominium presidents, showing support
of the majority of their residents. County Administrator Lewis
requested MS. Sawyer to bring these petitions to his office. The
original petitions for the Chapter 15) action are in Property
Appraiser Jim Bass's office.
It was moved by Com. Minix, seconded by Com. Culpepper, to table
action on this item for one week, and, upon roll call, motion
carried unanimously.
The 8card also directed staff to have copies of both petitions
available at that meeting.

South Hutchinson Island - Nastewater Treatment Rlant
Review of Statutory and Tecnnical Issues
The following statutory and technical issues are presenteo
as ~A~Arouno information for X_~ur use regaroing the location,
effluent 01sposal ano cltizen~ co--6-~er---~s of the above subject
wastewater treatment plant.
I. STATUTORY ISSUES
Preface: The Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) is included
in the definition for Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) in Ch. 95-
5, FAC.
State/Regional/Local Comprehensive Plans
Avoio or limit ~blic expenditures in CHHA's or that
suOsidlze development in C-H-H--A~-}~., areas subject to
destruction or severe damage by natural disasters.
This kind of statement is found at least seven (7) times in
the State Comprehensive Rlan, the comprehensive planning law
(CD. 163, FS), the rules for comprehensive plans (Ch. 90-5,
FAC), and the Regional Policy Rlan. Qualifiers include
exceptions for restoration or enhancement of natural
resources ano, in the regional plan, infrastructure
(expansion or improvements) to proviOe services to existing
oevelopment.
Tnlngs To Consloer: A proposeo slte may fall in our CHHA
once a new CCCL --
ano our comprehensive plan are aoopteo.
However, even if our plan was currently effective, these
statements Ob not seem to prohibit limiteo siting in CHHA's.
SUBJECT:
South Hutchinson Island - Wastewater Treatment Plant
Review of Statutory and Tecnnical Issues
The Regional Planning Council snail locate or assist local
governments in the siting of regionally important but
locally unpopular land uses.
Thln~s To Consioer: If a decision can not be maoe in the
near future, we coulo request the Council for assistance.
Federal Coastal Barriers Resources Act (CBRA) and' Governor,s
Executive Order (GEO)
CBRA: Prohibits the use of federal fun~s for infrastructure
(new or expansion) in Oes-------ignateo resource areas, as well
as, federal Oisaster assistance via the State (according to
our draft coastal management element).
Tnlngs To Consider: A definitive ruling ls necessary from
the DOI regarOing ~he use of the FPUA system.
GEO: Bans the use of state funds to build facilities in
CHHA's unless consistent with the local comprehensive plan·
Revised planning laws require that comprehensive plans limit
development in CHHA's. The state wi--~ not construct a~y new
or expanded facilities in C-~-~. [Taken fro~6-~-6-ur draft
coastal management element·]
~n__~qs To Consider: See Things To Consider in A.1 above.
Also, the la~---s~}}qment woulo seem to be irrelevant since
this is a local issue.
II. TECHNICAL ISSUES
State Regulations (FOER/FDNR) Regaroing Locatlon ano
Effluent Disposal
FDER's primary regulation regarding location is the 500'
setback from C~ass II Waters which incluoe mangrove areas-----7.
There are no ocher specific regulations if the facility is
located away from the Oune line.

South Hutchinson Island - Wast.water Treatment Plant
Review off Statutory and Technical Issues
FDNR's primary regulation regarding location is tied to the
CCCL: Any f~ility proposed seaward of the line must be
permitted by the agency. As you know, we can expect the
CCCL to be realigned in the sprlng of 1988. I spoke wltn
Mr. Hal Bean (FDNR) on December 8tn wno hopes for the first
public hearlng on a new CCCL in February. Adoptlon usually
takes 3-4 months from tn, first nearing.
Obviously, aoy permit issued by FDNR must be justified.
a__ga ..... ency _..considers the lO0-year storm and 30-year erosion The
llne, as well as, appropriate locatlon for facilities.
There ls an lnformal "consultatlon"_~rocess we could go
through to get a general staff opinlon on a Particular site,
although the Governor/Cabinet would nave tn, final say in
issuance of a permit. We would need to provide existing
conditions of a site, a plan, Survey information if
available, photos, and quantity of excavation/fill.
Effluent disposal= --~_ is a major issue because of the 500'
setback requzrement, lack of a concrete proposal, and
numerous systems from which to select. The following will
plant:have to be considered when selecting a location for the
A Rapid Infiltration Basin (RIB) system in sandy-shell
solls may be able to meet FDER's maxlmum rate for
infiltration (5.6 gals/sft/day) and their crlteria for
vertlcal hydraulic conductivity (22 gals/sft/day). The
structures are earthen which may not constitute a great
hurricane hazard since they are rebuildable. However,
two (2) cells (basins) would probably De required, one
for loading while the other required maintenance.
Things To Consider: An adequate amount of uplands, tn.
CCCL if proposed east of AiA, and tn, 500' setback.
Effluent Reuse for irrigation usually needs a backup
durlngSyStem theSlnCewettheseason.lrrlgateo area ls usually Saturated
Thin~ To Consider: Large areas of green space and a
backup system. Also, this is tn, prlmary method of
disposal specified in the regional policy plan.

Review of Statutory and Technical Issues
Ce
Deep Well Injection probably avoids the 500' setback
requirement but the Reverse Osmosis (RO) water wells in
the area would have to be protected.
Z~ings Id Consider: The amount of effluent, the depth
of tn· RiO water wells, and added cost to protect the RO
water wells·
Percolaition Ponds are used by many of the existing
plants oh the island and Od not meet the 500' setback.
ThingA ¢____o Consider: The 500' setback and an adequate
amount olf uplands·
Wetlands Disposal is incluoeo in the FDER manual on
effluent 01sposal.
Things_ To Consider: Is this type of disposal allowed
in Class II Waters (in this case - wetlands)?
The FPUA System might be capable of servicing the area
from a capaclty standpoint.
Tnin~s Tol ConsiOer:
The Coastal Barrier Resources Act.
The FPL System.
~n__~in__~__~o Consider: FPL's 11/18/87 letter to Dan
HcIntyre~only addresses available land for lease or
sale for a plant·
Citizens Concerns
Nolse~ odor~ and aesthetics are all concerns that can be

~hings To Consider: $ohn Robbins indicatea that controls
are possible Cdr all three areas. Architectural baffles
coula be made! of the same materials as the conaos aha

was specifically did'coted to examine those properties identified
with "for sale" signs along SR A-l-A, from Ocean Village, south
to the Martin Count5 Line. In accordance with these instructions,
my office conducted two windshield surveys of South Hutchinson
Island in order to determine the location of any such parcels.

In reviewing these sites, staff was forced to apply two,
essentially basic, questions to each property before completing
any further review. The first question to be answered involved
parcel size. If the identified property did not total at least 10
acres, it was dismissed from further review. If several parcels
identified as "for sale" COuld be combined to form a contiguous
tract, they would be included for further review.
The second basic question that had to be answered dealt with
property configuration. 'If the property was not configured in a
reasonable, developable manner, it was dismissed from further
consideration. Again, parcel combinations were considered in this
review.
Beginning at the Ft. Pierce City Limit Line, the first
property of any size identified as "for sale" is a parcel of
approximately 35 acres, lying south of Ocean Village. The
property is located entirely the East of SR A-l-A, and is
currently the site of an approved residential development know as
Highland Development. The Site does contain both wetland and
upland areas, with the latter being nearest the ocean.
Area 2 is located directly south of the Frederick Douglas
Memorial Park and is generally similar in physical character to
the first identified site. The property totals approximately 20

the ocean to the river, approximately 3/4 of a mile south of the

extensive wetland a~eas both east and west of SR A-1-A. Upland
areas appear limited to the primary and secondary dune areas.

Area 5 is comprised of several large tracts immediately
north of the Florida Power and Light property. These tracts are
an anomaly for properties in this portion of the Hutchinson
Island, in that they contain one of the few predominately upland
areas that lie between the Atlantic Ocean and SR A-1-A. To the
west of SR A-1-A there~are some smaller areas of Upland was well.
This general area was once considered for acquisition by the
State of Florida under the Save Our Coast program, but dropped
for lack of interest on the part of property owners.
Of all of the areas lying north of the Florida Power & Light
facilities, Area 5 offers what may be the best potential for a
facility of the nature proposed. This acknowledgment was pointed
out in our previous comments on this petition and is based upon
the fact that much of the property is upland area. Environmental
Permitting and wetland impacts would therefore be significantly
less a problem than in other locations on the Island. However,
for the very same reasons that we find this property attractive
for our needs, so would the general development community. This
attractiveness of the property will have a very definite impact
upon the cost of acquiring any of this property, for any public
purposes, ~
From Area 5, to the Petitioned property, is the Florida Power
and Light Nuclear Power Plant facility. Attached you Will find a
copy of correspondence received from FPL officials indicating
that no properties are currently available for sale or lease in
this area. Based upon this statement no further review of FPL
property was considered.
South of the petitioned site, the only identified parcel as
"for sale," observed by staff, is the site of the approved
Regency condominium. This parcel totals less than 10 acres and
was therefore dismissed from further review.
Before any further evaluation of alternate site can take
place, staff must request some specific policy direction from the
Board. A first question that must be answered by the Board is do
you wish to locate a wastewater treatment facility, or for that
matter any non-recreational public facility, east of SR A-i-A?

Although there appears to be no specific State regulations
against such dev~lopment near the coastal dune systems, the Board
should be aware that the pending relocation of the Coastal
Construction Con· rol Line (CCCL) will have an impact on some of
the possible al~:ernate Sites~'identified above. In addition,
consideration mu:t be given to the restrictions of the State on
expenditure of ~ublic funds within areas identified as High
Hazard Coastal Amens. In most cases, that is the area found east
of the CCCL line, but could be expanded to areas that lie west of
the CCCL if it s documented that they are sub3ect to damage

Recently, ~here has been some discussion about the
possibility of constructing a wastewater service line and pump
stations along SR A-1-A and tying into the City Of Ft. Pierce
wastewater'treatment facilities. Although, on the surface, this
option appears to be the simplest way of addressing this issue,
the Board should be aware of the following facts as we know
them, regarding this concept. ·
As you were advised earlier this year, in 1982, the 97th
Congress passed ~L-97-348, the "Coastal Barrier Resources Act".
This Act, among its many other functions, has the apparently
clear restriction against the expenditure of federal monies to
support any further development in areas designated as
undeveloped coastal barrier islands. In recent public meetings
about this Act, the Department of Interior,s interpretation of
the provisions add intent of this Act was made very clear to
those present; the construction with private, or non-federal
monies, of ~ infrastructure improvements that Would be
federal connected assistance to any system receiving, or eligible to receive,
of~ all future federal, support for that system. Under this
guideline, even i
along with the t~
construct the nec~
Ft. Pierce, becau~
service to an Und~
Utilities Authorit
federal aid for t
including its maini
Could, and probably WOuld, result in the loss
f the residents of South Hutchinson Island,
xpayers of St. Lucie County, all agreed to
~ssary facilities to connect into the City of
;e that system would, or even could, provide
~veloped Coastal Barrier Area, the Ft. Pierce
~ Could be in jeopardy of losing all future
he operation of its wastewater facilities
and facilities. ,
Recent discussions before this Board appear, to us, to offer
the opinion that t~ is restriction may not in fact be as tight as
presented to County
and City staff some months ago. In an effort
to clarify this matter, my office is making contact with the
appropriate federal officials to request a formal written opinion
on this matter, an( I will advise this Board as soon as one is
received. However, pending this response, I would advise this
BOard to assume a ~orst case scenario and that ir'would not be
possible to permit look-ups with the Ft. Pierce system.

Petition: BCC - South Hut. Isle.
File No.: RZ-87-043
(U) Utility for property located on south Hutchinson Island.
Specifically, this property is located west of SR A-i-A, and lies
north of Fire Station #8. This petition was initiated by this
Board in order to consider this site for possible development as
a sub-regional waste treatment facility.
When initially considered by this Board and staff, this
property appeared to be the best available County owned property
that could be developed for such a purpose ~hat offered good and
reasonable access to all parts of the South Island. Acknowledging
the fact that the site does contain some wetland areas, as well
as uplands, staff initially recommended approval of this site.
This recommendation was made primarily on a geographic/locational
basis and an understanding that if a wastewater plant was
constructed here, a portion of the treated effluent would be
discharged through the Florida Power & Light ocean discharge
system. Environmental impacts were anticipated to be minimal and
mitigable.
In recent weeks, staff has been advised that there may be
some problems with the anticipated method of effluent discharge.
If the discharge-~of_at least a portion 'of the treated effluent
from this site cannot be be processed through the Florida Powe~ &
Light facilities, this site may not be feasible for this facility
given the land area needs for on-site disposal. Although this is
a design problem, it is one that staff feels the Board should
explore further before a final determination is made on this
petition.
Although alternate sites may be available for the intended
use, the petitioned site may be just as basically suitable as any
other, pending resolution of the above concerns. This property
generally fits the basic requirements of the County; public
ownership, 10 acres or more in area and no committal to
recreational development. In previous hearings before this Board
it was suggested that you may want to consider selling this
property for the purpose of acquiring other Sites. While this
option always exists, I must advise the Board that the
marketability of this property is limited since the residential
density it once held was applied to the Sand Dollar Villas
(Shores) project some years ago. Other possible uses for this
site may include commercial, but I feel that such a use would be
very unlikely given the intense land coverage needs of commercial
development as opposed to other non-residential uses.

In summary, and referring to the above comments along with
our memorandum of October 21, 1987, County staff has reviewed the
petition of the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners
for a change in zoning from I (Institutional) to U (Utility) and,
has found the petition consistent with~the Polices of Development
contained in the St. Lucie County Growth Management Policy Plan
and Hutchinson Island Resource Management Plan. However, prior to
any final action on this petition, the Board may wish to give
further consideration to the method of effluent disposal planned
for this site, a~d if it is' found that these methods could be
detrimental to the wetland environments of this area further
review of this petition may be warranted. '

Subsequent to your letter dated November 4, 1987,
regarding available land for lease or sale on

Their response indicates that FPL does not have

PUBLIC HEARING: ·
Petition' of the St. LUcie County Board of County Commissioners
for a change in zoning from I (Institutional) to U (Utility) for
property located on the'west side of South A-1-A immediately to
the north of the South Hutchinson Island Fire Station, Station
Number 8. '
Representing the Petitioner, Mr. Murphy explained that the Board
of County Commissioners has been concerned with the lack of a
sewer service on South Hutchinson Island. The Commission has had
discussion With several different associations and private de-
velopers regardinG establishing a private sewer service~company
in that location. The Commission authorized advertisement of a
petition to change the zoning on a Parcel of land south of the
nuclear power Plant, a9d west of"A-1-A. The property is specifi-
cally located to the west of Sand Dollar Villas Condominiums.
Mr. Murphy explained'that representatives of South HutChinson
services, which is a private company proposinG to construct a
sewer and waste Water t eat
why 'the -e .... ~ ment facility,
~ Lzuzon is beinD presen could further explain
ted.
Ms. Storey clarified that South Hutchinson Services is the ini-
tial company to approach the Board of County Commissioners;
however, pursuant to Florida Statutes, before a lease can be
entered into with ~ company, there must be advertisement and a
bidding process. Board of County Commissioners would be
required to determine which particular lease would be the best
and highest use for that particular piece of property. There-
fore, even though South Hutchinson Services was present at the
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners has not made the
determination as to which company will lease the .subject prop-
erty.
Mr. Jorge Dorta_Duque, President of South Hutchinson Services,
explained that approximately one year ago a group of South
Hutchinson inland'residents, and some of the members and presi-
dent of the homeowner,s association approached him regarding the
ma or 'se-
.J wet problems being experienced

Mr. Russakis said that the-issue is not regardin§ title to the

should recommend approval or denial of the proposed rezoning.
Chairman Terpening said the question had been raised as to
whether or not the Petitioner has the ri§hr to request the re-
zoning, and may perhaps have some bearing on the proceedings.

Ms. Sawyer, with all due respect~ felt that Ms. Storey was in-
correct. She said there were two mortgages on the property. She
said that the mortgage is not existing, it has been foreclosed
and purchased at a judicial sal~-by the bank (the mortgagee).
Ms. Sawyer also said that the second mortgagee was either fore-
closed out by the sale, or may have some interest in the proper-
ty. The bank attorneys had informed Ms. Sawyer that ~here is a
discrepancy in legal descriptions, and they are presently having
the~property surveyed to determine exactly what the bank owns.
She felt that if it iS'determined that the bank owns the proper-
ty, it would be the owner's pero~ative to petition for a zonin~
change. She did not feel the County has a ~i~ht to petition for
a zoning change on property it does not own, and that the re-
zoning-procedure is premature. She referenced a letter received
by the bank from~the Assistant County Attorney through the' Inter~
continental Bank. The letter referenced a mortgage on a separate
piece of property. They believe that the Assistant County
Attorney has the incorrect mortgage.
Chairman Terpening said that the Board of County Commissioners
does have the authority under.the-~uidelines of the County Zoning
Ordinancethe property, to initiat~ rezoning petitions., whether or not they own
Ms. Storey clarified that Chairman Terpening,s statement was
correct. Ms. Sawyer said that issue could be resolved later.
Ms. Sawyer said if the bank is determined owner of the subject
property, they will be very interested with what transpires
concerning that property. The bank may develop land across State
Road A-l-A, next door to Sand Dollar Shores, and'would certainly
not want to develop that property with a sewer Plant in close
Vicinity. , .

disposal has been requested by DNR and DER to be treated and

such a plant is permitted and built based on inaccurate informa-
tion and without consultation with or input from the parties that
would be served and would pay for it.
There being no further public comment in favor of or in opposi-
tion to the petition, Chairman Terpening clOsed the public por-
tion of the hearing. ;

County is attempting t° take the easy way out by'proposing the
plant in an impractical and improper location, and is i~noring
the health, welfar~ and peace of mind of Sand Dollar Shores
residents for the sake of the developer. He further stated that
the.only additional coSt re~ardin~ his proposal would.be for
additional length of seWer line and acquisition of Property.
Mr. Murphy said that one letter of support for the proposed
rezoning had been received.
Mr. Murphy said that individual package plants will ~ail
they are properly maintained. Staff is aware of the need unless for
wastewater treatmen~ needs on South HUtchinson Island; however,
the County is not in the water and sewer business. This leaves
the Board of County Commissioners with the option to pursue a
resolution with private: developers. Staff is of the opinion that
there are sufficien~ policies within the Growth Management Policy
Plan that would support the proposal Staff recommended approval
of the petition. ·
Mr. Russakis asked Staff if there is any Country_owned property
north of the nuclear plant that is large enough to facilitate a
waste treatment plant. Mr. Murphy replied no.
Mrs. Fawsett expressed sympathy with'the residents in opposition
to the location of the proposed treatment plant. She stated her
reasons as being the complaints she has received regarding the
sewage treatment plant on North Hutchinson Island. That plant is
located no more than 100 ft. from A-1-A and it is smelly. She
said that Mr. borta-Duque had been connected with that facility,
but it was not his f~ultl, and that Mr. Dorta-Duque had done
everythin~ possible to r~solve the problem. She felt that until
the issue of who owns the property, the petition should be with-
drawn or tabled. She felt that a location for sewage treatment
plantslook down should on them. not be where high rise condominiums would have to
Mr. Carman clarified with Ms. Storey that the County can rezone
the subject P~operty regardless of ownership dispute. Ms. Storey
said that the-Board of County C6~mmissioners has the. authority to
initiate a rezonin~ on any parcel.
Mr. Sciturro said that he understood t ~
~_'S~te, ~hey own 9~miles of be=~ ~between the County and
~u his understand' _ ~.~zun~a~e. He said i '
ln~ that the County will be developinutp~_
tions of the ocean side of A-l-A, and there will be some property
west of A-1-A that would be more suitable fo~-a facility. He
further stated that he would not like to own a condominium unit
adjacent to a treatment facility.
mr. Murphy clarified Jr Mr. Sciturro said that ./_e 9 miles he
referred to would be inclusive of b6th North and South Hutchinson
Islands. In South Hutchinson Island, extending from Ft. Pierce
to the southern county line, the County has several 60 ft. wide
beach accesses and a redently improved park site at Waveland
Mr. Murphy said that .
the Coqnty has no major land holdings-in
that area. However, the CoUnty is attempting to procure some
land from. the State at the north end, near Ft. Pierce. The Staff
had reviewed other possible alternative sites for a treatment
facility, and did not find any.
Mr. Terpening asked if there is any large, upland parcels avail-
able north of the nuclear plant. Mr. Murphy replied that there
is one area that could possibly be considered. That area is
immediately north of the FP&L property line, and was at one time
considered for acquisition by the State. The State spent two
years trying to negotiate and contac~ the owners of that prop-
erty. The owners ~ndicated no interest whatsoever in selling
their property. Additionally, there are other problems with
locating a facility in the area north of the power plant. By
federal law, a governmental agency is prohibited from estab-
lishing a central sewer system on that part of the island.
private developer The
could conceivably do it; however, the County
could never be in the position of resuming control of the faci-
lity. Mr. Murphy r~ferred to an act by Congress in 1982 which
cut off federal funding for any kind of develoDment project on a
'barrier island or an area designated as a coastal resource unit.
The area north of the power plant is so designated.
Mrs. Fawsett questioned if this could be a bOnd issue for th
residents of South ~each to procure anoth e
er3 private contractor
for a sewage treatment facility. Ms. Storey said the County
Commission has not had any discussion regarding financing. In
specific reference ~o the lease, the final leasee of ~the property
has not been determined; therefore, the County Commission has to
go through legal procedures regarding advertising and accepting
bids before it is determined who will be entitled to lease that
piece of property. She said it will be a couple of Weeks before
it is known how many wish to bid on the lease.
After considerti~g the. testimony presented during the public
heating'including Staff comments and the standards of review set
out in Section 5.3.300 of the St. Lucie County Zoning Ordinance,
Mrs. Fawsett made a ~otion that the Planning and Zoning Co i -
