Item 12 - Pre-Entry Deck at St. Augustine Amphitheatre. The St. Johns County Cultural
Events Division continues to look for ways to improve the patron experience and for
opportunities to generate additional revenue. As such, an opportunity to obtain a
$60,000 sponsorship with Canan Law will provide funding to construct an outdoor
pre-entry gathering space between the St. Augustine Amphitheatre's east and center
entry corridors. Revenue generated through food and beverage concessions generates
additional revenue to cover both the deck's associated operating expenses and
additional revenue for the overall operation (A fifteen year asset life pro forma is
attached outlining two scenarios which reflect positive net position). The deck is
anticipated to cost $62,750 net donated materials. Additionally, the pre-entry deck
will provide future monetary sponsorship opportunities for business seeking visibility
to patrons entering the facility. An additional benefit provided from the deck’s
location is an improved ingress. This ingress will send patrons to a lesser-used entry
way, alleviating a “bottle necking” issue common at busier gate entrances. The
location already has sufficient power, plenty of shade from oak trees, and is large
enough to fit a 4300 square foot deck.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend the Future Land Use Map from
Rural/Silviculture (R/S) to Residential – B with a text amendment limiting the
number of residential units to a maximum of 305 single family dwelling units. The
subject property fronts along Greenbriar Road, east of Longleaf Pine Parkway in the
vicinity of 601 Greenbriar Road. The Planning and Zoning Agency first heard this
request on July 21, 2016 and recommended the amendment be transmitted with a 6-
1 vote. Subsequent to the Agency meeting, the applicant requested a delay in this
application going to the Board of County Commissioners, due to changes being
proposed. These changes included the addition of 25 units, resulting in the number
of units being increased from 280 to 305 and design changes to the layout of the
PUD. On November 17, 2016, the Planning and Zoning Agency heard this request for
transmittal a second time, recommending transmittal with a 4-3 vote. The Agency

Item 11 - Hurricane Matthew Disaster Recovery: Debris Removal. In October 2016,
Hurricane Matthew inflicted severe impacts to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina resulting in a presidential declaration for federal assistance in
categories A & B [Debris Removal and Emergency Protective Measures respectively].
St. Johns County activated contracts in accordance with the Contract for Disaster
Debris Removal, Reduction, and Disposal and Infrastructure Restoration pursuant to
RFP 04-79. The County estimates the cost for debris removal, based upon 487,000
cubic yards for vegetative debris and 60,000 cubic yards for Class III debris, to total
$18.5 million related to Hurricane Matthew. For many disaster recovery costs, FEMA
will reimburse up to 75% of eligible expenditures and the State will reimburse up to
12.5% of eligible expenditures, leaving St. Johns County to fund the remaining
12.5%; however, both FEMA and the State do not utilize those same reimbursement
rates for debris removal and monitoring on private roads. The attached October 21,
2016 State of Florida Division of Emergency Management letter suspends their
responsibility to pay 12.5% of costs of debris removal on private roads. The attached
December 21, 2016 FEMA letter deems some-but-not-all private road zones eligible
for reimbursement. Current estimates for eligible reimbursement for debris removal
expenditures are as follows: FEMA = $12,487,500, State $1,734,375, and the County
at $2,428,125. Current estimates for Ineligible expenditures total $1,850,000 for the
County. Total eligible and ineligible County costs for debris removal total $4,278,125.
Because the Commission approved an initial $1,000,000 for debris removal from
Solid Waste Reserves at the October 18 BCC meeting, the Solid Waste Reserve
requirement is $3,278,125.
