End of Consent Agenda

Item A1

Economic development announcement

Item 1

Solid Waste Transfer Operations and Solid Waste Removal Contract. Since 1999, St.
Johns County has outsourced its solid waste transfer operations and disposal of its waste
services to a private Contractor. In 2005 (RFP #05-84), the County contracted these
services with Waste Management Inc. of Florida (WMIF), for a term ending July 31, 2015,
with a 7-year renewal option. Following the provisions in the agreement, WMIF has
requested to renew their contract for 7 years beyond their current expiration on July 31,
2015. The proposed contract will amend and restate the current terms and extend the
contract to July 31, 2022. The proposed negotiated contract provides the following
benefits to the County: 1) Reduces the current waste disposal rate from $42.02/ton to
$36.95/ton. The $5.07/ton rate reduction will provide an upfront (from Jan 1, 2014 to
July 31, 2015) savings of approximately $1.07 million; 2) Provides clarity in contract
terms in several areas of the existing contract that allows better co-ordination between the
County and WM; 3) Should other landfill disposal options be available to the County that
provide for competitive pricing, the proposed contract terms allow the County to further renegotiate
the waste disposal price. This option is available to the County until December
31, 2016; 4) Allows the County to share savings toward any future use of alternative fuels
(by WM or its contracted haulers) that can reduce transportation costs; 5) Caps future CPI
increases to a maximum of 4%.

Item 2

Public Hearing – CPA (SS) 2013-02 Ponte Vedra Croquet Court. This is a request for
approval of a small scale amendment from Public (P) to Residential – B. The applicant
seeks to construct a croquet court park located on approximately 3.5 acres of land at 100
Mosquito Control Road. The applicant is leasing the subject property from the Anastasia
Mosquito Control Board. Residential-B allows for outdoor passive activities, which the
croquet park provides. The Residential-B Future Land Use designation is compatible with
the surrounding area. The Planning and Zoning Agency recommended approval at its
February 20, 2014 meeting with a 7-0 vote.

Item 3

Public Hearing – NZVAR 2013-08 Ponte Vedra Croquet Club. This is a request for a
Non-Zoning Variance to Section 6.04.07.M.1, which states, “Existing non-paved and
stabilized base (e.g. soil cement, fast track, open graded emulsion mix, etc.) or other nonpaved
County-maintained Roadways used for Project access shall be required to be
improved to meet the requirements of this Code from the Development’s point of access on
the non-paved Roadway to the terminus with the closest paved Roadway for approval of…..
non-residential Development.” The proposed Ponte Vedra Croquet Club is proposed at the
western terminus of Mosquito Control Road, an unpaved County roadway. The Variance
also requests relief from Section 6.05.02.H.1, which states “…every off-street Parking Area
and Vehicular Use Area shall be surfaced with asphaltic or portland cement binder
pavement or an equivalent Improvement, so as to provide a durable and dustless surface
with adequate drainage and Stormwater management provisions… unless a Special Use
Permit has been approved…” The applicant requests permission to provide no asphalt
paving for the croquet club.

Item 7

Public Hearing – DRI 2012-01 Twin Creeks – Application for Development of Regional
Impact (DRI) Substantial Deviation Request. This item was continued from the March 4,
2014 meeting. The Twin Creeks Development of Regional Impact (DRI) was approved in
2005 and has not developed. This Substantial Deviation request reduces the overall
number of dwelling units, increases the non-residential uses, revises the development
schedule and revises the proposed mitigation provisions, especially in the categories of
transportation and schools. There are two property owners within the DRI; South
Jacksonville Properties, LLC (Falcon) which is designated as the Master Developer, and
Heartwood 23, LLC (Heartwood). Both of these entities have obligations under the
proposed amended DRI. These entities are in disagreement as to entitlements, obligations
and timing of such obligations. The Planning and Zoning Agency (PZA) continued this
item three times and on February 20, 2014 recommended approval with a vote of 6-1. On
March 6, 2014 the applicant submitted a revised Development Order (DO), attached. Staff
will provide a summary of this draft DO at the meeting. Florida Statute requires DRIs to
be scheduled and heard by the Board of County Commissioners within 90 days after the
notice of the Regional Council that a public hearing may be set, unless an extension is
requested by the applicant. The Regional Council notified the County May 9, 2013, and
the applicant requested three extensions since the notification.

Item 4

Public Hearing – COMPAMD 2013-05 Bartram Park. This is the adoption hearing for a
proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment to amend the Future land Use Map from
Residential-A to Residential-B with a Textual Policy limiting the number of residential
units to 616. The subject property is approximately 583 acres located along the north side
of Race Track Road, west of St. Johns Parkway, within the Bartram Park DRI. The
property is currently approved for 366 dwelling units and this proposed amendment will
add 250 units. The Commission transmitted this amendment on December 3, 2013. The
Florida Department of Education recommends the County and School District continue
work on a plan to address the effects of amendments upon the school system. The
applicant has worked with the School District and has agreed upon mitigation amounts,
however, the timing of payment is not resolved. It is anticipated a payment plan will be
determined prior to April 1. The Planning and Zoning Agency recommended approval at
its March 6, 2014 meeting with a 6-0 vote.

Item 5

Public Hearing – NOPC 2013-01 Bartram Park. This is a Notice of Proposed Change for
the Bartram Park Development of Regional Impact (DRI). The proposed changes increase
the number of dwelling units from 367 to 616 in St. Johns County, modify the phasing to
add Legislative extensions, contribute funding to the Race Track Road four-lane
improvements, and remove a five-acre park site from Race Track Road. The DRI contains
approximately 3,928 acres and is located in both St. Johns and Duval Counties. The
Planning and Zoning Agency recommended approval of at its March 6, 2014 meeting with
a 6-0 vote.

Item 6

Public Hearing – MAJMOD 2013-04 Bartram Park. This is a Major Modification for the
Bartram Park Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposed changes increase the
number of dwelling units from 366 to 616 in St. Johns County, and remove a proposed
five-acre park site located along Race Track Road. The subject property contains
approximately 582 acres within St. Johns County and is part of the Bartram Park
Development of Regional Impact. The additional dwelling units add school impacts, and
school mitigation is not yet determined. The applicant is working with the School District
and has agreed upon the mitigation amount; however, the timing of such payment is not
resolved. It is anticipated a payment plan will be determined prior to April 1, 2014. The
Planning and Zoning Agency recommended approval at its March 6, 2014 meeting with a
6-0 vote.

Item 8

Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for offshore oil and gas
exploration activities that include seismic, high resolution and electromagnetic
surveys. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has prepared the Final
Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (Programmatic EIS) to assess the
environmental impacts of authorizing geological and geophysical survey activities (G&G
activities) in the Mid- and South Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf area (OCS) and adjacent
State waters between 2012 and 2020. The area covered by the Programmatic EIS extends
from the mouth of the Delaware Bay to just south of Cape Canaveral and from the
shoreline (excluding estuaries) to 403 miles from shore. The Programmatic EIS was noticed
on March 7, 2014 with the comment period set to close on April 7, 2014. Administration
recommends the County request that the comment period be extended for at least an
additional 45 days to allow a comprehensive review of the complex and lengthy reports and
data associated with this Final EIS and then allow time to gain feedback from the
community.

Item 10

Public Hearing – First reading of Third Repealer Ordinance. In support of the Board’s
goals and objectives, the Office of the County Attorney is continually working to identify
ordinances that have been superseded by statute or that are outdated, redundant, or no
longer in the public interest. Once identified, these ordinances can be removed from the
County Code, thereby providing the public with more efficient access to the County’s
ordinances that are still in effect. This ordinance is the first step in this process. It
identifies ordinances that have either been repealed or that have been superseded by state
law. It removes the ordinances that have already been repealed from the County Code,
and it repeals the superseded ordinances and directs their removal from the County Code,
as well.

Item 11

TDC 2015 Arts/Culture/Heritage Funding Program Addendum. The 2015 Arts,
Culture and Heritage Funding Program Guidelines were reviewed and approved at the
County Commission meeting on March 4, 2014. One of the objectives in the guidelines is
to attract visitors during Non-Peak Periods. The attached “Tourism Demand” document is
a clarification in support of TDC commentary for guidelines that define specific peak
demand periods by zip codes. If approved, this language will become part of the 2015
Arts/Culture and Heritage Funding Program Guidelines previously approved.

Item 9

Public Hearing - Investment Policy Revisions. After review of the current Investment
Policy by PFM Asset Management, LLC, and to achieve greater investment flexibility while
minimizing risk, the Clerk recommends approval of the attached Ordinance and
Resolution. As interest rates continue to change, the attached amendments will provide
greater overall earnings potential for the surplus funds that are invested by the Clerk’s
Finance Department.
