B. Project description and analysis
This is an application for a revised commercial, major development final site plan for an outdoor
shooting range. The project site is a sub-portion of a parent parcel of approximately 630 acres located at
500 SW Long Drive, approximately 2.3 miles north of SW Martin Highway. The entire parcel has a
designated future land use of Agricultural. The original development site of approximately 41.44 acres
received approval of a zoning change from A-2 to AG-20A in 2006. The remainder of the parent parcel
received approval of a zoning change from A-2 to AG-20A in 2007. The South Florida Shooting
Grounds project received a final site plan approval on February 25, 2009.
This application is a request to revise the approved plan to accommodate the addition of four cart barns,
an observation tower, bunker and shade structures. The site is not located within an urban service district
and is therefore currently serviced by a potable water well and septic systems. Included in this
application is a request for a Certificate of Public Facilities Reservation.

F. Determination of compliance with Comprehensive Growth Management Plan requirements -
Growth Management Department
Unresolved Issues:
Item #1:
Maximum Height
No land uses or development shall be more than 40 feet high. Building height shall be measured from
the average finished grade at the perimeter of the building, except in flood hazard areas. In flood hazard
areas building height shall be measured from the base flood elevation requirement for the lowest floor as
shown on the flood insurance rate map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). Building height shall be the difference between the finished grade or the base flood elevation
described above and either the highest point of the coping of a flat roof, the deck line of a mansard roof,
or the mean height level between eaves and ridge of gable, hip, and gambrel roofs. The mean height
level between the ridge and the eaves shall be determined on the highest section of roof. Limited
exceptions shall be allowed for structures such as church steeples, roof structures, utility poles, park
lighting, emergency structures, agricultural and industrial structures, and communications facilities as
detailed in Article 3, Section 3.14., Land Development Regulations, Martin County Code on August 13,
2013. MARTIN COUNTY, FLA., CGMP POLICY 2.1A.1(3) (2016)
Pursuant to Section 3.12, LDR, Martin County, Fla. (2013), the maximum allowable height in the AG-
20A zoning district is thirty (30) feet.
Remedy/Suggestion/Clarification:

1 for an excerpt of the current requirements. All existing structures that were developed in conformance
with the Final Site Plan approved in 2009 will not be required to utilize the new methodology. All
structures that are proposed, other than those shown on the 2009 approved site plan, must be identified
as proposed and may not exceed thirty (30) feet in height as measured using the current methodology.
1. Please revise the data tables for clarity:
a. Utilize names/labels for each building, or building type, consistent with the labeling
shown on the revised site plan.
b. All structures constructed in conformance with the 2009 approved site plan shall be
identified as 'existing'.
c. All structures not authorized by the 2009 development order and site plan shall be
identified as 'proposed' whether or not they have already been installed.
d. All observation towers must be included.
2. Please submit elevation drawings for all proposed permanent structures:
a. Depict NAVD ground elevations for the measurement starting point pursuant to Policy
2.1A.1(3), CGMP, Martin County, Fla. (2016) as provided in the attached Exhibit 1.
b. Any portions of any structures proposed to exceed the maximum allowable height must
be demonstrated to meet the exemption criteria pursuant to Section 3.14.B.5., LDR,
Martin County, Fla. (2005).
c. Please provide elevations for all other structures, installed and proposed to remain or
proposed to be installed, on the property in association with the commercial use.

J. Determination of compliance with environmental and landscaping requirements - Growth
Management Department
Environmental
Unresolved Issues:
Item #1:
General Compliance-Environmental
As a result of new information and a site inspection conducted on November 2, 2016, additional
environmental information may be required and further review may be needed prior to staff giving a
'comply' determination under the environmental review. Please see Section G, Item #1, of this staff
report for further information.
Additional Information:
Information #1:
County environmental staff conducted an inspection on June 29, 2016 and found portions of the wetland
buffer adjacent to the proposed shotgun range had been cleared of native vegetation. In order to resolve
this environmental compliance issue, the county requested a restoration plan and the applicant agreed to
restore the area prior to issuance of this development order. The restoration plan has been approved by
the county and the restoration work will be completed prior to issuance. For record keeping purposes, an
electronic copy of the plan can be found under the correspondence project folder for this DO.
Landscape
Unresolved Issues:
Item #1:
Landscape Tabular Data
Landscape plans shall include a table which lists the gross and net acreage, acreage of development and
preservation areas, number of trees and tree clusters to be protected within the developed area and
within perimeter areas, and square footage of vehicular use areas (Ref. Section 4.662.A.10, LDR).
Interior and perimeter vehicular use areas should be quantified separately in the table. Tabular data shall
also indicate a calculation of the minimum total number of trees and shrubs required to be planted based
upon the proposed developed area and separately based upon quantities required to meet the vehicular
use area planting requirements and any required bufferyard requirements.
Please also include the following:
a. Document compliance with the requirement that twenty (20) percent of the total
developed area shall be landscaped.
b. Document that nonresidential developments provide at least one tree per 2,500 square
feet of site area.
Service function areas including solid waste collection and mechanical equipment requiring screening
shall be summarized in a table to identify equipment and the type of screening proposed.
Remedy/Suggestion/Clarification:
Verify that prior landscaping installed, as documented on the As-built Landscape Plan dated 12/6/10 has
Development Review Staff Report
Page 12 of 20
established successfully and that existing landscaping is in compliance with that plan and meets
requirements of the current landscape code contained in Martin County., LDR [Article 4, Division 15]
[2013].
9.9.16. Certification of existing landscaping has been provided in the response letter stating that
landscaping as detailed on the 12/6/10 as-built plan has been verified and is in compliance with the
Code. However, the Existing Plant List on Sheet 6 is not consistent with the Plant List on the 2010 As-
built, The proposed plant list is also not consistent with quantities labeled on the plan. Please explain the
discrepancies.
In addition there is a note on the landscape plan that states there are no landscape requirements in
Agricultural Land Use. That is only correct if the land use is an agricultural use. While shooting ranges
are permitted on a parcel zoned as agricultural, shooting ranges are considered to be a Commercial and
Business Use. See Section 3.11 Table 3.11.1, Code of Ordinances, Martin County, FL (2013) This
parcel must be developed in accordance with the requirements set forth in Divisions 3 and 4 and all
other applicable requirements of this Article and the LDR.
The Landscape Tabular data indicates that Bahia sod is a native grass: Bahia is not a species native to
Florida or North America, please correct this designation. The existing plant list indicates that Hamelia
patens 'Compacta' is a native species; the variety 'Compacta' is also not a native Florida species but is an
introduced species generally believed to have come from South Africa or southern Mexico. In the
interest of accuracy please correct this designation.
K. Determination of compliance with transportation requirements - Engineering Department
Unresolved Issues:
Item #1:
Traffic Impact
1. Distribution map must show distribution of trips. The study network will be illustrated in both
tabular and map formats, and clearly show the percentage of project traffic of the level of service
capacity up to and including the link where the project traffic falls below the two percent
threshold. The map or maps will illustrate the project location, existing and proposed traffic
control devices, existing and proposed ingress and egress locations for the project, existing and
proposed bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and existing and proposed public transportation
services and facilities on the study network. [Martin County, Fla., LDR Article 5, Division 3,
Section 5.64.C.7 (2009)]
2. Per Section 5.64.C.5, Land Development Regulations, Martin County, Fla. 2009, if no links are
impacted at the two percent or greater level, the analysis will consider the first directly accessed
road on the major road network.
3. Exhibit D should reference PM traffic, not AM.
4. The trips generated by this project are greater than 1% of the generalized service capacity of the
first directly assessed road on the major road network; therefore, the project cannot be deemed
deminimis.
L. Determination of compliance with county surveyor - Engineering Department
Findings of Compliance:
Development Review Staff Report
Page 13 of 20
The Survey Division of the Engineering Department has reviewed the boundary and topographic
surveys submitted with the application. The Survey Division finds that both surveys are in conformance
with the requirements of Article 4 of the LDRs, the standards and practices listed in Chapter 472,
Florida Statutes, and other applicable requirements as identified in Chapter 177, Florida Statutes.
[Martin County, Fla., LDR Article 4; Chs. 472 and 177, Fla. Stat.]
M. Determination of compliance with engineering, storm water and flood management requirements
- Engineering Department
Unresolved Issues:
Item #1:
Stormwater Mgmt Post-Development
1. The amount of water quality provided is not represented accurately on the Post Development
Basin Boundary Map. Referring to the stage storage calculations, the available storage at 29.20
NAVD is 12.07ac-ft. The site provides 12.07 ac-ft in the dry detention areas and the green space
areas prior to discharging. Revise the Basin Summary on the Post Development Basin Boundary
Map to reflect 12.07 ac-ft of water quality provided.
2. Due to the existing 3 inch bleeders at elevation 26.56' NAVD, the dry detention areas will
recover half the water quality treatment volume within 24 hours and 5 days. As previously
stated in the staff report dated 5/17/2016, the narrative in the Drainage Calculations does not
accurately reflect the ICPR modeling results. The stormwater system recovers half the treatment
volume at hour 98.51 (4.10 days from the start of the storm event). Revise your narrative to
reflect the ICPR results.
Item #2:
Stormwater Mgmt Construction Plans
1. As previously requested in the staff report dated 5/17/16, remove references to The City of Stuart
Minimum Design and Construction Standards in the construction notes (sheet 5, note 5)
2. It appears the existing "8 inch Weep Hole" will need to be reconstructed to the previously
permitted 3 inch bleeder. The Engineer shall field verify and provide a detail as necessary.
Remove the note " Field Verify and Reconstruct as Necessary."
N. Determination of compliance with addressing and electronic file submittal requirements – Growth
Management and Information Technology Departments
