Witness~ ~ ~,m¥..hand and the seal of said Board this .~9 ~ day of -// , 1976. / 'Roger~tras, Clerk' Circuit Court .-~.UCIE COUNTY FLA. Deputy Clerk · ~-,,~,~ ~ ~/' · C~. ~ ...... ~ 846587 -7- BOOK~O PA~E 81~ Bra'; of Co. Comm. 9/28/76 Petition of Board of County Commissioners for proposed Amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Resolution for S't. Lucie County, Florida, as attached. Mr. Gary Ament~ County Coordinator, explained the reasons for the amendments. Mr. Ebner stated the definition of a recreational vehicle should be changed to conform with the specific length of the recreational vehicle, i.e. motor homes which run about 35 ft. in length. Mr. Thomas~ Director of Building & Zoning~ stated up to now, a travel trailer park was in A-1 zoning and the Board of County Commissioners felt it would be best to have a specific zoning for travel trailers and it should go through Site Development Plan for approval by the Board. The prime reason ±s to eliminate travel trailer parks being approved by special excep- tion by the Board of Adjustment in A-t zonmng, because a large amount of this county is zoned A-1. Now it will have to be brought before the Plan- ning 8 Zoning Commission for change in zoning classification to R-SRV and then go before the Board of County Commission to approve the zoning to permit only a travel trailer vehicular park. He stated this would not affect condominium campsites. Mr. Ebner asked if under Section J there was some reason for require- ing a 6 ft. fence~ to which Jack Scott stated this can be a plant or a fence ~ and only in the parking area. Mr. Tkomas stated this has only to do with vehicle areas. In the landscaping ordinance all of the vehicle use area has to be screened. In a recreational vehicle park it is all vehicles, and hence, all the recreational park is a vehicular area and must be screened. Mr. Ebner stated he thought it was unfair for a mobile home park, to which Jack Scott stated that the landscaping ordinance requires that all vehicles must be screened. Mr. Dick Davis stated he did not under stand "c" on fees~ to which Mr. Thomas stated this means an office or recreational building. Mr. McCabe of Holiday Out stated in connection with the comments on the 6 ft. opague screen~ he would suggest the screening be more proper for storage areas. Mr. Thomas stated a 6 ft. high screen does not create a problem for a park. To landscape th~ entrance from the road would enhance the appearance of the park instead of hurting it. This ordinance does not require it to be a fence. Mr. McCabe stated the other comment he had was regarding any structure being 10 ft. away. Mr. Thomas stated the State law requires all structures to be 10 ft. apart~ not anything that comes as a manufactures part of the vehicle, but any other structure must be 10 ft. from another structure. Mrs. Dora Hilson stated she would like to go back to the definition of a recreational vehicle. Blue Bird buses are used as recreational vehicles and they are 39' to 40' long. A general discussion was had regarding the length of various recreational vehicles. The~ Mrs. Hilson asked why 30'x~' 60; is used as the minimum space size for recreational vehicle parks. She stated they have a recreational vehicle and have traveled a lot using recre- ational parks, and have not found any in all their travels that are that large~ to which Mr. Thomas stated they were set up for 35'x85' but were cut down. Mrs. Hilson asked why they had to be that smze~ you can't get the utilization of the property at that size. In most parks they have a differ- en~ size lot for different size vehicles and we are talking about recrea- tional vehicles of all types. Some people use tents, and most of these rec- reational parks have a tenting area. Most parks have spaces for over-nighters and these lots are 20'x50' between roads at an angle, pull through type~ in one side and out the other. Mr. Dick Davis moved to recommend Paragraph "F" on page 2 be changed to a lot size of 20'x50'~ seconded by Jack Scott. Vote was polled and carried unanimous ly. Mr. Thomas asked if Mrs. Hilson recommended the lots to be paved~ as this is one of the regulations for St. Lueie County, to which she replied no~ paved lots are hotter than dirt lots. Mr. Trent Ebner moved to recommend changing under Section 2~ Defini- tions of recreational vehicle regarding the size~ instead of reading 8' in width and 32' in length~ to read to meet State regulations, which motion was seconded by Jack Scott. Vote was polled and carried unanimously. Dick Davis move~ to accept the proposed amendments, to the Corn- Zoning Resotuti'~ns with the recommended changes as noted above on was seconded by Jack Scott. Vote was polled and carried NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of County Commissioners. for St. Lucie County~ Florida, will at 9:00 A.M.-on Tuesday~ Sept~er 28 ~ 1976~ in Room 203~ Courthouse, at Fort Pierce~ Florida, hold a public hearing on: Proposed Amendments to Comprehensive Zoning Resolutions of St. Lucie County~ Florida, by the Board of County Commissioners as Follows: Amend Section 2, Definitions, to read: Mobile Home Space: A plot of ground within a mobile home park designated for the acco,q~odation of one (1) mobile homa.

LUCIE COUNTY~ FLORIDA Publish: July 30~ 1976 By Sidney Taylor Sidney TaylOr ~ Chairman -7- COUNTY COORDINATOR'S COMMENTS PLBNNING $ ZONING BOARD AUGUST 26, 1976 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO COMPREHENSIVE ZONING RESOLUTION (MOBILE HOME PARKS/SUBDIVISIONS AND TRAVEL TRAILER PARKS) The following is a summary of the important points of the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Resolution. 1. It is recognized that travel trailers specifically and recreational ve- hicles in general are not permanent residential units and therefore, should not be placed in residential zoning. Travel trailer/recreational vehicle parks are primarily commercial ventures. Consequently, campground/travel trailer parks have been eliminated as Permitted Uses by Special Exception in the A-1 District. 2. A new zoning district, R-5RV, has been created to allow for development of recreational vehicle parks. Recreational vehicle parks will only be permitted in this new R-5RV Zoning District and only upon Site Development Plan Approval. 3. The R-5MH District remains essentially unchanged with the exception that mobile home park development will now require Site Development Plan Approval. Plans for mobile home subdivisions still must be approved by the County Engineer. ME MORAN DU~ TO: F ROM: DATE: RE: Zoning Director County Attorney August 31, 1976 Recreational Vehicles Pursuant to our conference of August 30, I would suggest the following definition for recreational vehicle: Recreational Vehicle: A vehicle, self propelled or otherwise, designed and utilized for temporary lodging by the user when touring, camping, etc.,of a size or weight as not to require a special highway movement permit when operated on the highway.
