Item 1

Emergency Management Update and discussion on extension of Local State of
Emergency. St. Johns County Emergency Proclamation No. 2017-4 declared a state of
local emergency due to the severe threat and the potential of Hurricane Irma to create
excessive rainfall, high tides, tropical storm and/or hurricane-force winds, which posed a
serious threat to public health and safety and caused flooding, beach erosion, and
property damage. Hurricane Irma caused extensive damage to private and public
property in St. Johns County. The Board of County Commissioners issued Emergency
Proclamation Nos. 2017-5, 2017-6, 2017-7, 2017-8, 2017-9, 2017-10, 2017-11, 2017-12,
2017-13, and 2017-14 which each extended Emergency Proclamation No. 2017-4 in one
week increments. St. Johns County continues to exert efforts to address emergency
conditions and assist affected citizens. Extending the declaration of state of local
emergency facilitates St. Johns County’s ability to effectively respond to emergency
conditions and mitigate disaster effects.

Item 2

Public Hearing * REZ 2017-11 2391 US Highway 1 South. Request to rezone 3.91
acres from Commercial, Intensive (CI) to Commercial, Warehouse (CW) to provide greater
flexibility in maximum Floor Area Ratio, specifically located at 2391 US 1 South. On

MAJMOD 2017-15 Sawmill Landing PUD. Request for a Major Modification to the

fifteen (15) feet for the non-garage portion of homes; to update the twenty-five (25) foot
building setback requirement adjacent to the upland buffer consistent with Land
Development Code allowances; and, to increase the maximum lot coverage by buildings
from 35% to 50% on individual lots. On August 15, 2017 the Board made a motion and
voted 4-1 to deny the Major Modification based on concerns that the increase in lot
coverage presents unacceptable concerns with respect to compatibility with surrounding
properties. At the request of the applicant, the Board voted to reconsider that vote to
allow revisions to be made to the Master Development Plan map and text to remove those
changes associated with increasing building coverage standards and to continue the item
to the September 5 hearing. On September 5, this item was continued to the October 3,
2017 hearing. The revised and original modification MDP documents are included in

Agency recommended approval of PUD 2017-04 Blind Ventures with a vote of 6-0 at the

revise the requested waivers regarding signage based on concerns expressed during the
hearing. The applicant provided revisions to the Unified Sign Plan and associated waivers
on October 18, 2017 which were presented to the Planning and Zoning Agency on

Item 9

Recognition and Appropriation of Hurricane Irma Disaster Recovery Grant of
Reimbursement Funds. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma inflicted severe impacts to
the entire State of Florida resulting in a presidential declaration for federal assistance in
categories A through G of FEMA’s Public Assistance Program. As part of the initial
recovery process, the County took the necessary actions to save lives, protect public
health and safety, and prevent damage to improved public health and safety, and prevent
damage to improved public property. It is estimated that 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% (with some exceptions). To date,
the County has estimated $14,052,947 in costs related to Hurricane Irma; specifically,
$10,596,469 for debris removal, $2,057,454 for emergency activation, and $1,399,024 for
inundated roads. Based on this estimate, it is anticipated that FEMA and the State will
reimburse $10,539,711 and $1,756,618 respectively, requiring the County to fund the
remaining $1,756,618. The County’s 12.5% portion is requested herein to be transferred
from the following fund reserves: $1,324,558 from Solid Waste Reserves for debris
removal, $257,182 from appropriate funds for emergency activation (largely the General
Fund), and $174,878 from the Transportation Trust Fund for inundated roads.
