Item 5

Request for Relief From Section 9.04.05.B of the Land Development Code,
entitled Re-Application After Denial of Rezoning. On May 1, 2018, the Winding
Oaks PUD (PUD 2016-16) was denied by the Board of County Commissioners, in an
advertised public hearing. Section 9.04.05.B of the Land Development Code, entitled
Re-Application After Denial of Rezoning, provides for a one-year waiting period, when
a rezoning application is denied. The applicant has requested, the Board consider
waiving the one-year wait time and allow a revised PUD to be submitted, reviewed and
heard in public hearings.

Item 6

Public Hearing * PLNAPPL 2018-06 Boman Zoning Variance Appeal. Request to
appeal the decision made by the Planning and Zoning Agency on August 16, 2018,
denying a request for a Zoning Variance (ZVAR 2018-02) to Table 6.01 and subsequent
Section 6.01.03.A of the Land Development Code to allow for a property zoned Open
Rural (OR) to have a reduced Lot width at the street line from one hundred (100) feet
to approximately twenty (20) feet, specifically located at 1860 Orange Cove Road.

Items 3 & 4

3. Public Hearing * Proposed Settlement Agreement of King's Grant Litigation. In
October 2015, KG Development, LLC and Cumberland Street, LLC (collectively,
"plaintiffs") filed suit against St. Johns County, challenging a final order issued by the
Board of County Commissioners that denied the plaintiffs' application for PUD
rezoning of 772.1 acres of property located at the northwest corner of the I-95 and SR
206 interchange. The County denies that plaintiffs are entitled to any relief. However,
the Board has authorized the County Attorney to discuss possible settlement, while
continuing to defend the litigation. The plaintiffs have proposed certain enhancements
to their PUD application as a full and complete settlement of the litigation. A summary
of the proposed enhancements is attached; the complete language can be found in the
attached Settlement Agreement. Additionally, the revised PUD application will be
presented for the Board's consideration with this item. The relevant County
departments have been consulted and reviewed the proposed settlement. The County
Attorney is prepared to continue defending the litigation, but if the Board directs
approval, the Settlement Agreement would serve the public interest.

4. Public Hearing * PUD 2014-06 Kings Grant. Request to rezone approximately 772
acres from Open Rural (OR) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow 999 dwelling
units, of which 74 may be age-restricted; 130,000 square feet of commercial retail and
service uses; 200 hotel rooms; 80,000 square feet of professional and medical office'
120 bed rehabilitation hospital; and 260 bed assisted living/skilled nursing /memory
care facility. The Planning and Zoning Department recommended denial of the project
at it's June 4, 2015 meeting with a 4-3 vote. The Board of County Commissioners
heard this request on September 15, 2015 and denied the PUD application. The
applicant appealed the Board decision in Circuit Court and a Settlement Agreement
is proposed for the Board's consideration. This PUD proposal addresses the changes
proposed by the Settlement Agreement. A revised memorandum as well as the
September 15, 2015 Staff report are attached.

Item 7

St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Training Facility: Presentation on Needs &
Consideration to Execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement for additional property
required for the Sheriff's Office Training Facility. On June 17, 2014, Sheriff David
B. Shoar (Sheriff) appeared before the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), seeking
approval of a proposed purchase of land, which would serve as the future site of a law
enforcement training facility (Property). Development of the facility would be
completed in phases, and among other things, would ultimately include an emergency
communication center, driving track, firing range, and instructional classrooms
(Project). The BCC subsequently approved the purchase of approximately 49.2 acres
located on Agricultural Center Drive at a purchase price of $941,981.77, which was
principally funded from Law Enforcement Impact Fees. Here, the Sheriff’s Office
requests the BCC’s consideration and approval of funding from Law Enforcement
Impact Fee Reserves to purchase an additional 17.65 acres, directly adjacent to the
Property. In accordance with the Master Development Plan, the additional property
will generally allow for fleet management, equipment storage, and a fuel farm. If
approved, owners Charles R. Usina, Jr. and Gabye Lee Usina have agreed to sell the
property below the appraised value at a purchase price of $529,500. The total amount
required to purchase the property, including the purchase price, closing costs and
second appraisal (required by Florida Statutes) is $550,000. The Sheriff’s Office
further seeks the BCC’s consideration and approval of funding to complete Phase I of
the Project, which includes constructing the training facilities and emergency
communications center. The total cost to complete Phase 1 is estimated at $15
million; therefore if approved, the Sheriff requests that the BCC issue debt services to
cover the cost, and utilize future proceeds from Law Enforcement Impact Fees to pay
the debt.
