AMNESTY DAY ~ BCC WASTE SOLUTIONS
Mosquito Control Director Horton reported that Amnesty Day will be Saturday, October
29, 2022, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., E.T. in front of the Port St. Joe Courthouse,
discussing what items will be accepted for disposal. County Administrator Hammond
stated that BCC Waste Solutions sent out fiyers, placed a notice in the (customer) bills,
and advertised in The Star. He stated this is the second time this year, noting this is only
required once per year and this is a benefit to the County and free to the public.
STATUS REPORT — CODE ENFORCEMENT
Building Official Bailey provided a status report regarding code enforcement within the
County , stating that the majority of the
violations are being corrected by the property owner. He reported there will be more
blighted properties within the City of Wewahitchka that will be coming up in October 2022.
Building Official Bailey discussed the approximate $10,000.00 of the City’s
(Wewahitchka) portion and stated the City Commissioners will vote at their upcoming
meeting if they will reimburse the County their portion now (before the property owner
pays it on next year's tax bill). County Administrator Hammond stated the positive is the
properties are getting cleaned up, but the negative is, the County is holding $80,000.00
of tax money that takes 12 to 18 months to get paid back (from the property owner). He
reported that the goal is to encourage residents to clean up the blighted property
themselves, with the County being the last resort.
LETTER OF SUPPORT ~ ST. JOE COMPANY
From page 5 of the packet, County Administrator Hammond recommended to the Board
to send a letter to St. Joe Company in support. He discussed the ongoing communications
with St. Joe Company regarding the potential to bring a large LNG (liquified natural gas)
plant to Gulf County, either on the Mill Site or the Gulf County Canal. He provided a
timeline regarding the discussions over the proposed plant. Following discussion
regarding the proposed plant, County Administrator Hammond reported that this is not
the County's project, it is the St. Joe Company's project, recommending the Board
approve the letter of support for this project. He stated that once the company is chosen,
then the company needs to have public meetings to explain their process. After further
discussion by County Administrator Hammond, Chairman Quinn discussed the agency
holding a town hall meeting in order to get the information out to the public regarding the
plant, Commissioner McCroan discussed the proposed company and its process to
transport the natural gas, stating he has seen no indication that this is a dirty plant.
7Commissioner McDaniel encouraged those who can to go look at the plant in Louisiana,
discussing the use of natural gas within the County and the tax money from the proposed
plant. Upon inquiry by Commissioner McDaniel, County Administrator Hammond
reporting at the County's current rate, it will bring in $2.6 million to the County and a little
more than that to School Board and at the City of Port St. Joe’s rate, it would bring in a
little more than $1 million (tax revenue). Upon inquiry by Chairman Quinn regarding the
proposed site, County Administrator Hammond stated that if the City of Port St. Joe
opposes the Mill Site, then the plant could be moved inland along the Canal. Discussion
followed regarding fossil fuels and the number of new jobs this plant would bring to the
County. Chairman Quinn discussed the Board being in support of this plant, as long as it
is positive and has no health issues. After discussion by Commissioner McCroan
regarding natural gas, Chairman Quinn called for the motion. Commissioner McDaniel so
moved on the motion. Commissioner Farrell seconded the motion. Chairman Quinn called
for public comment. There being no public comment, the motion passed unanimously.

letter to Senator (Doug) Broxson. He reported that Senator Broxson is going to try and

basically all the BP Pot | money and is doing an audit of the Region. The Board had no

the funds to purchase the culverts and drainage
PERMIT — SELMA STREET DITCH
County Administrator Hammond discussed an email concerning the County not
maintaining the Selma Street Ditch that drains St. Joe Beach out to the Bay. He reported
that by law, the County is not allowed to maintain, the same as Money Bayou, stating that
in the past the County has been threatened to be fined and also arrested. County
‘Administrator Hammond discussed trying again, with a new administration, to see if the
County can obtain a continuing permit like the one at Indian Pass Boat Ramp that will
allow the County to dig the fallout ditches under emergency circumstances
Commissioner Farrell discussed the City of Mexico Beach maintaining their ditches,
inquiring whether they hold a permit. County Administrator Hammond nodded, discussingthe City of Mexico Beach's permits. He requested Board approval to apply for that permit
(FL Department of Environmental Protection and Army Corps of Engineers)
Commissioner Farrell made the motion (to apply for the permit). Commissioner MeCroan
seconded it. Chairman Quinn called for public comment. There being no public comment,
the motion passed unanimously.
PUBLIC WORKS UPDATE - DISTRICT!
Commissioner Rich requested a status report from Public Works regarding projects in
District I. Public Works Director Cothran discussed receiving work orders regarding a
ditch in the Five Acre Farms area, reporting there are collapsed culverts causing dams
and backing up over driveways. He stated that several culvert pipes that failed were
removed, and they cleaned the ditches in the subdivision. Public Works Director Cothran
reported that the County is working with St. Joe Company to obtain a maintenance
agreement with the property adjacent to this subdivision to replace failed pipes (culverts)
that are connected to the ditches in Five Acre Farms. Commissioner Rich thanked Public
Works for rectifying the situation and continuing to work on it
PUBLIC WORKS UPDATE - DISTRICT V
Upon discussion by Commissioner McCroan regarding work in District V, Public Works
Director Cothran discussed ditch work in the Jones Homestead area through Ponderosa
Pines Road all the way over to the Costin property, stating the County is working with the
Buffer Preserve to obtain a private easement to be able to have access to clean the ditch
at the golf course (Gulf County Country Club). Discussion followed regarding cleaning
ditches at Indian Pass and moving on to the Cape Road. Commissioner McCroan thanked
the Public Works crew for their hard work. County Administrator Hammond discussed his
concems regarding the development on Jones Homestead Road, reporting the City of
Port St. Joe has annexed on both sides (of the road) and is now building up on all those
lots. He stated that he thought the City of Port St. Joe and the County had it worked out,
whoever sold the building permits, sold the culvert permits. County Administrator
Hammond reported that in a couple of hours of rain, the water was sheeting across the
road (Jones Homestead) which was a dangerous situation and Public Works dug up some
illegal driveways. He discussed his concems regarding the size of the culvert pipe
installed in the driveways of this new development area. Discussion followed regarding
some driveways without any pipes and the drainage issues. County Administrator
Hammond stated that Jones Homestead Road is a County road and both sides of the
road are County right-of-way, the City of Port St. Joe annexed on both sides, one side
being a high-density development with paved driveways and on the other side are bigger
lots that are built-up which cause the water to flow into the road. He discussed his
concerns regarding no ditches, improper culverts, or solid culverts causing water to flow
to the road. County Administrator Hammond stated that it is a mess, and the County does
not need to allow any more annexation on either end. Commissioner McDaniel inquired
if culvert permits were purchased through the County, discussing his concerns regarding
this being County ditches and the City of Port St. Joe allowing this to take place. He stated
that if the culvert is illegal, then tear them out and make them right.10

local communities of North, Central and South Florida. He reported that staff has been
preparing for this storm and with the most recent forecast, with it projected to hit Central
Florida around the Tampa area, GCI will not be evaluated and workcrews are still going
out. County Administrator Hammond stated that staff has a conference call on Monday
with the Secretary of Corrections office to discuss the workcrew situation (lack of inmates
for workcrews for Gulf County) and a request for permission to inspect the Gulf Forestry
Camp (in Howard Creek) to see if the County has a desire to acquire this facility from the
State if there are no plans to reopen it. He asked if Warden Payne could be on this call,
stating it would be helpful. Warden Payne stated that the Secretary of Corrections staff

are here to help.

Pursuant to advertisement to hold a Public Hearing to consider a proposed ordinance,
County Attorney Novak discussed the provided proposed no wake zone ordinance . He stated that this Ordinance has been introduced
1011
and accepted by the Board in a couple of different versions and revisions over the last
two years and the Fish and Wildlife Commission has noticed the County of additional
revisions needed to the Ordinance (#2022-03) before (no wake) signs can be posted.

stated this is the first reading of this proposed ordinance and the second reading and
consideration for adoption at the regular meeting scheduled of October 25, 2022
Commissioner Farrell asked if the hang-up was the distance at the Highland View site.
Assistant County Administrator Smallwood stated that the distance is in the Florida
Statute, therefore the County does not have much say-so, but this was more so of the
wording of the Ordinance (#2022-03). Following discussion, Commissioner McDaniel
stated for the record that he has worked on this project for two years or more, discussing
his concerns regarding yachts making waves at Overstreet (boat ramp). After further
discussion regarding the approved no wake zone distance, County Administrator
Hammond suggested the County get with Deseret Ranches that own property on either
side and post signs on a tree, no wake zone or slow down, stating this will work for
Intracoastal Waterways for Overstreet and White City but will not work in Highland View
due to there being nowhere to attach the signs. Chairman Quinn called for public
comment regarding the proposed ordinance. There being no public comment, Chairman
Quinn closed the Public Hearing to the public.

comment. Coastal Community Association President Pat Hardman appeared before the
Board to thank the Board for putting bids out for Salinas Park, but the pickleball court was
the highest thing that anyone in South Gulf County wanted back in that area. She stated
that the pickleball players had some amendments to make the court playable, inquiring if
those changes were included in the bid specifications. Assistant County Administrator
‘Smallwood reported that the alternate bid was for a taller fence and the shelter will be

STREET & HELMET STREET

the Board asked staff to restructure and then there is a petition before the Board for
Cowries Street and Helmet Street. He suggested that the Board review the policy
amendment, consider it, and if the Board adopts this policy, then go into Cowries Street

PUBLIC HEARING — RIGHT OF WAY/ALLEY ABANDONMENT PETITION COWRIES

saw at a previous Public Hearing and presentation that the County noticed it, and the
pictures and petition provided to the Board showed several property owners have built
into the alleyway in the abandonment. He stated that with the adopted policy amendment,
if the Board is inclined to grant these abandonments throughout St. Joe Beach or
anywhere else in the County, now the County will have emergency vehicle access and
the ability to clean drainage ditches. County Attorney Novak recommended to the Board,
if so inclined, that a Public Hearing be advertised with the additional stipulations. County
Administrator Hammond stated that he does not think it was advertised (Alleyway
‘Abandonment Public Hearing), but the County has put this off for three months and if itis
the will of the Board to go ahead and move through the process and abandoned this,
stating this is his recommendation, then he would ask the Board to vote up or down on
that recommendation and then at the next meeting will be a formal Public Hearing and
the actual abandonment. Commissioner McDaniel made a motion to follow the procedure

public comment. County Administrator Hammond stated for clarification his
recommendation was to move forward and abandon it, inquiring if this is Commissioner

Chairman Quinn called for a motion to waive. Commissioner Farrell so moved.
Commissioner McCroan seconded the motion. Chairman Quinn called for any public
comment against waiving Quasi-Judicial. There being no public comment, the motion
passed unanimously. Mr. Watson discussed the five-lot subdivision project up for
consideration, reporting all lots are supposed to have road frontage, therefore, there is no
permitting requirements for water-main, sewer-main extensions or stormwater. He stated
that the deed excluded the right-of-way of what was called at that time Secluded Dunes
Drive, reporting that an affidavit has been obtained, by Tom Gibson, stating it is intended
to be included as part of the parcel and the easement running not less and except the
roadway . Upon inquiry by Chairman Quinn,
Planner Collinsworth reported that the P.D.R.B. recommended to the Board, by 3-0, to
approve, contingent upon receiving the corrected deed, which has been provided at
today's meeting. Chairman Quinn inquired again of the P.D.R.B. recommendation.
Planner Collinsworth stated they voted 3-0 to approve. Chairman Quinn called for a
motion to waive the formal reading. Commissioner McCroan so moved. Commissioner

VARIANCE REQUEST - BRIAN MILLER
Planner Collinsworth reported that the variance for Brian Miller has been requested to be
withdrawn, stating that the P.D.R.B. voted 3-0 to deny. Upon inquiry by Chairman Quinn
to County Attorney Novak on whether a motion to withdraw was needed, Commissioner
McDaniel so moved. Planner Collinsworth stated staff does not need any action from the
Board. Commissioner McDaniel then withdrew his motion.
VARIANCE REQUEST — JOSEPH WHITFIELD
Planner Collinsworth presented a variance request from Joseph Whitfield, Parcel ID
#03783-100R for the Board to consider. Chairman Quinn called for anyone wishing to
speak to step forward. A gentleman appeared before the Board. Chairman Quinn inquired
if he had any objection to waiving the Quasi-Judicial Hearing. He had no objection.
Chairman Quinn then called for a motion to waive Quasi-Judicial. Commissioner Farrell
so moved. Commissioner McCroan seconded the motion. Chairman Quinn called for
public comment. There being none, the motion passed unanimously. The gentleman then
introduced himself as Ben Blitch, from Dewberry Engineers of Panama City, representing
the applicant, Joseph Whitfield. He reported that Dewberry is the engineer of record for
1314
Rebuild Florida and Mr. Whitfield qualified for this program, having his home rebuilt due
to Hurricane Michael. Mr. Blitch reported that the program does not do custom-built
homes to site and Mr. Whitfield has requested a one-story home, if possible, He stated
that there is an encroachment and requested approval to this variance request. Planner
Collinsworth reported the P.D.R.B. voted, by 3-0, to deny the variance on these numbers,
stating according to the size of the lot the homeowner will be allowed to cover, even if
they were able to meet all the setbacks currently, 2,981 square feet and the proposed
residence that was presented to the P.D.R.B. was only 1,398 (square feet). He stated
that the P.D.R.B. took that into consideration and tried to get the agency that is building
this home to go back and see if they could make it narrower and longer, keeping the same
square footage. Planner Collinsworth reported that the P.D.R.B. voted that the applicant
did not have a hardship because the home proposed, square footage wise, will it in the
30% and within all the setbacks as they are required, as it sits today, noting the vote was
3-0 to deny. Discussion followed regarding the size of the lot, location, and square footage
of the single and two-story houses. Upon inquiry by Chairman Quinn on whether the
applicant would need a 4’ variance on each side, Planner Collinsworth stated, depending
‘on the width, Mr. Whitfield would need about 7.5’ if it was 30’, reporting that the P.O.R.B.
recommended they make it narrower and longer and still keep the same square footage
because even inside the required setbacks that the County has, that house still falls well
under the square footage of what the homeowners can have. Chairman Quinn asked Mr.
Blitch if that can happen. Mr. Blitch stated that the program only has certain plan sets and
the only plan set that will fit within the lot is a two-story version and what is being presented
is the narrow single-story version. Commissioner McCroan discussed his concerns
regarding this variance, reminding the Board that he had lots in his district (District V)
after the storm (Hurricane Michael) and these homeowners were denied. County
Administrator Hammond stated that when you give beach property, Beacon Hill, Highway
98, side variances everyone behind gets their view of the beach blocked. He stated that
this request is for a 10’ variance and will affect others, reporting that the Board will have
to figure out, under their rule, how to do a hardship and it is certainly not a hardship to the
land as it has been proven. County Administrator Hammond discussed a possible
handicap hardship, but then there would be the opportunity to have an elevator or
something of that nature, or they could have a 22.5’ wide house. He discussed the depth
of this lot, stating there are alternatives to building and he does not believe that the County
has ever given a 10 variance in this situation on a beach property. Discussion followed
regarding the select house plans provided in the program. County Administrator
Hammond stated that it would set a bad precedent to grant this variance, although he is.
sympathetic, the Board would have a hard time ‘hanging their hat’ on one of the hardship
versions that is required. After discussion by County Administrator Hammond, Chairman
Quinn inquired of the details of the two-story house. Mr. Blitch stated that the master
bedroom is downstairs, with two bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. Commissioner
Farrell inquired if the property owner contacted the neighbors regarding this variance.
Planner Collinsworth reported that only the abutting neighbors must be notified, and this
property abuts Highway 98, Nutmeg Street, and the alley behind, noting there is only one
property owner notified. He stated that if the homeowners from behind had to be notified,
then the County would probably have some opposition to this variance request. Following
discussion, Chairman Quinn called for a vote to waive the formal reading. Commissioner
1415
Farrell so moved. Commissioner McDaniel seconded. Chairman Quinn called for public
comment against the formal reading. There being no public comment, the motion passed
unanimously. Commissioner Farrell made the motion to deny and asked if they can go
back to the drawing board to figure it out. Commissioner Rich seconded the motion.
Chairman Quinn called for public comment. There being no public comment, the motion
passed unanimously.
‘SMALL-SCALE MAP AMENDMENT
Planner Collinsworth presented to the Board a small-scale land use map amendment
from Scott Lantz, Parcel ID #00883-000R, requesting a 4.049 acre from an agriculture to
residential. Chairman Quinn called for anyone wishing to speak on this issue. No one
came forward. Planner Collinsworth reported the vote from the P.D.R.B., by 3-0, to
approve this small-scale land use change, stating that the property owner falls in all the
rights to have this change. Chairman Quinn called for a motion to waive Quasi-Judicial
Hearing. Commissioner McCroan so moved. Commissioner Farrell seconded the motion
Chairman Quinn called for public comment. There being none, the motion passed
unanimously. Upon inquiry by Chairman Quinn, Planner Collinsworth stated that the
P.D.R.B. voted 3-0 to approve the land use change. Chairman Quinn called for a vote to

seconded the motion. Chairman Quinn called for public comment. There being no public
comment, the motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Farrell moved to approve.
Commissioner McCroan seconded the motion. Chairman Quinn called for public
comment. Francine Vellanti, of Cape San Blas appeared before the Board to discuss her
concerns regarding this land use change and the possible clearing of land. County
Attorney Novak noted there are areas in the property that are already cleared. Chairman
Quinn called for additional public comment. There being no further public comment, the
motion passed unanimously.
STATUS UPDATE ~ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
E.D.C. Director McKnight appeared before the Board to provide a status update regarding
economic development within the County, reporting there are discussions with an eye
center interested in locating to Gulf County and he will have a recommendation before
the Board at the next meeting. He discussed Skyborne (Technology) being close to
obtaining building permits and the dialysis (Fresenius) having received the permits to
make their changes.
RETIREMENT PARTY — JOE PAUL
County Administrator Hammond reported that staff is holding a retirement party for Joe
Paul on Thursday, encouraging everyone to attend
EVACUATE RECREATION VEHICLES POLICY
County Administrator Hammond reported staff received numerous calls inquiring about
what would trigger RV (recreational vehicle) removal. He stated that he is not out to harm
anyone of their homestead or grandfathered-in deal with their RVs. County Administrator
Hammond reported that notice will be given, proper notice, stating that just because the
County adopts an emergency order does not trigger the required evacuation of RVs. He
1516
stated that it must be a specific order to evacuate RVs in that RV zone, which would be
the Cape, Indian Pass, St. Joe Beach, and Beacon Hill. County Administrator Hammond
reported that you cannot bring your RVs, boats, vehicles, or anything else to the
Courthouse, encouraging owners to get north of the Intracoastal Waterway or carry it
back to wherever they have property out of State or out of County. He stated again it will
be a specific order, an evacuation order, and if the County does not give people proper
notice, the County will not penalize them for things that are out of the County's control
Commissioner Rich reported that there are businesses offering services to assist in
moving items if the property owner is not able to on their own. County Administrator
Hammond stated that when you have a grandfathered RV, itis your responsibility to make
sure, if you are out of State or out of town, that you have prearranged plans to move it
out.
AWARD BID #2122-28 — LAKE GROVE ROAD BRIDGE REPAIR
Assistant County Administrator Smallwood recommended to award Bid #2122-28 for the
Lake Grove Road Bridge Repair to the low-bidder, Ferrovial Services Infrastructure, Inc.,
contingent upon being able to get the amount within budget. County Administrator
Hammond added a caveat that in the event they can't get within budget, he would be
allowed to use Secondary Road and Bridge money, if necessary, to make up the price
difference. Chairman Quinn had no objection to his request. Following discussion,

Administrator. Commissioner Farrell so moved with the caveat that will give staff the lead-
way. Commissioner Rich seconded the motion. Chairman Quinn called for public
comment. There being none, the motion passed unanimously.
