District Attorney
DA 1 - Status Report/Updates

Mr. Pickle was not aware of any updates from Mr. Harrell.

District Engineer
DE 1 - Consider Work Authorization No. 7B-18-2010-SU between the St.
Lucie West Services District and Little Lots, LLC for Pacific Star Warehouse

Mr. Pickle presented the item, indicating that this was an application for an additional building and associated parking, drainage, sewer and water services for a project that was previously approved with a different building configuration. Mr. Pickle noted that the building being modified is 0.892 acres and is located on the north side of NW Enterprise Drive, south of the existing parking area.

Mr. Pickle went on to explain that this project will contain one 10,200 SF building comprised of 9,000 SF of warehouse space and 1,200 SF of office space. Water and sewer services were previously stubbed out to this property and the plans propose to extend those lines to provide service to the building. Mr. Pickle noted that staff had reviewed the application and recommends approval of the Work Authorization with the following two special conditions:

1.) All water, sewer and reuse improvements past the points of service shown on the plans shall be the responsibility of the Applicant or subsequent owner; and
2.) All drainage facilities shall remain in private ownership and shall be the maintenance responsibility of the Applicant or subsequent owner.

There was no discussion regarding this item.

District Manager Action Items

DM 1 - Consider Amendment to Contract with Infrastructure Solution Services, LLC (155) for Consulting/Professional Services (Continuing Potable Water, Wastewater and Related Engineering Consulting Services)

Mr. Pickle presented the item, indicating that this was an amendment to the contract with ISS for consulting/professional services for the continuing potable water, wastewater and related engineering consulting services due to the anticipated retirement of Bob Lawson. Said amendment will include stormwater. Mr. Pickle noted that they wanted to receive approval on this amendment early enough in the process in order to make the transition run more smoothly.

A brief discussion ensued regarding details of the transition.

OM 2 - Presentation from Developer

Mr. Pickle introduced Hal Dodt of Leonardi Capital Group regarding the potential sale of the property located on the southeast corner of St. Lucie West Boulevard and SW California Boulevard.

Mr. Dodt presented information regarding the company as well as an overview of his qualifications as well as that of Rich Leonardi's and Geno Ray.   Mr. Dodt noted that, if approved, they would like to target the property for a grocer and a small box user up front or possible drive-thru restaurant. Leonardi Capital Group would take on the responsibility of rezoning the property and expect this step would take about a year in order to accomplish.   He also noted that they would work with the community to create buffers for the residential area nearby.

Discussion ensued and the Board posed many questions to Mr. Dodt. Once the Q&A portion of the presentation was completed, Mr. Pickle invited Mr. Dodt to tomorrow's Board Meeting, when the Board could potentially make a decision as to where they stand on the offer.

That concluded Mr. Dodt's presentation.

Supervisor Requests

Supervisor Graci thanked those Cascades residents for their attendance.

District resident, James Abbott expressed his concern over drainage that could be effected by the filling of the lake and asked if the property had been appraised. Mr. Pickle responded that the $3.5 Million offer is much higher than the other offers

received and also includes the purchaser taking on the responsibility for prepping the parcel for development.

That concluded Supervisor Requests.

Several residents made additional comments regarding the potential sale of the property located on the southeast corner of St. Lucie West Boulevard and SW California Boulevard.
