Keating, AICP; Co pment Director THROUGH: Stan BolincZcP; Planning Director FROM: Brian Freeman~ .ticP; Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: July 31, 2007 SUBJECT: Royal Professional Builders, Inc. 's Request for Preliminary Plat Approval for a Subdivision to be known as St. Augustine at Vero Beach [SD-06-04-11 / 2005070188-52410] -It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its regular meeting of August 9, 2007. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Schulke, Bittle, and Stoddard, LLC, on behalf of Royal Professional Builders, Inc., is requesting preliminary plat approval for a conventional single-family subdivision to be known as St. Augustine at Vero Beach. The site is located on the south side of33rd Street, west of66th Avenue. The subject site is zoned RS-3, Residential Single-Family (up to 3 units/acre), and has an L-1, Low Density Residential (up to 3 units/acre), land use designation. The subject site contains two residential structures and several agricultural buildings that will be removed during development. St. Augustine at Vero Beach Subdivision Data: • Project Area: 29.63 acres • Number of Lots: 57 lots • Density: RS-3: 3.00 units/acre Proposed: 1.92 units/acre • Minimum Lot Size: Required: 12,000 sq. ft. Proposed: 12,000 sq. ft. • Minimum Lot Width: Required: 80 feet Proposed: 80 feet F:\Community Developmen'tUsers\Brian F\subdivisionS.St Augustine"lpzc staff report.rtf 1 ANALYSIS 1. Phasing: The project will be constructed in a single phase. 2. Utilities: The project will have public water and sewer service provided by county utilities. The County Department of Utilities and the Department of Health have approved these project utility provisions. 3. Traffic Circulation: Access to the proposed development will be provided by a single, gated connection to 33 rd Street. The proposed street (St. Augustine Square) will be privately maintained by and dedicated to a property owners association. No connections to adjacent properties are required, as those properties currently have access to a public road. The project's traffic circulation plan, roadway design, and traffic study have been approved by the County's Traffic Engineering Division. Because 33 rd Street is currently unpaved, the applicant is required to pave 33 rd Street from 66th Avenue to the proposed subdivision entrance. Additionally, the applicant will escrow its fair share of the paving cost for the site's remaining frontage on 33 rd Street west of the proposed project entrance. 4. Stormwater Management: The preliminary plat proposes a modified miami curb street design and a wet stormwater management tract to manage runoff generated from the project. Through the final plat process, the stormwater tract will be dedicated to a property owners' association. The Public Works Department has approved the preliminary drainage design. The final design will be approved by the Public Works Department via the land development permit review process. 5. Environmental Issues: a. Wetlands: County Environmental Planning staff has determined that no jurisdictional wetlands exist on the subject site. Therefore, no wetlands criteria apply to the proposed development. b. Uplands: Since the site is over five acres, the county's native upland set-aside requirement potentially applies. Because the site was previously cleared for agricultural use, there are no existing native uplands. Therefore, no upland set-aside requirement applies to the proposed development. c. Tree Preservation: As proposed, the project complies with all current tree preservation requirements. While the site is mostly grove, there are native and exotic trees scattered about the east third of the site. The native trees include oaks and cabbage palms. The oaks and palms located in the northeast comer of the site will be preserved in an open space tract. Mitigation is required for the removal of any native hardwood tree over 12" dbh. All invasive exotic trees will be removed during development. Prior to issuance of tree removal and land clearing permits, the applicant will need to obtain Environmental Planning staff approval of the project's tree protection plan and a tree mitigation replacement plan. F:\Community Devebpment\Users\Brian l;-\subdivisionS.St Augustimipzc staff report.rtf 2 6. Required Dedications and Improvements: a. 33rd Street Right-of Way Acquisition and Improvement: 33 rd Street is a thoroughfare plan road. In this area, 33 rd Street is an unpaved road located within 30 feet ofright-of-way. The applicant is required to improve 33rd Street from 66th Avenue to the project entrance and to escrow its fair share of the paving cost for the site's remaining frontage on 33 rd Street west of the entrance. To facilitate the required improvement of33rd Street, the applicant will need to design the improvement and obtain all right-of-way needed for the road improvement. Because a sublateral canal exists along the south side of33rd Street, any additional right-of way needed will need to be obtained from the north side of the road. Prior to issuance of a land development permit for this project, the applicant will need to obtain approval of the final design for the 33 rd Street improvement from the county's Public Works Department. In addition, all additional right-of-way needed for the improvement of 33 rd Street must be obtained by the applicant and dedicated to the county prior to issuance of a land development permit. Prior to issuance of a certificate of completion for this project, the improvement of33rd Street from 66th Avenue to the project entrance must be completed, and all escrow funds must be paid to the county for the future improvement of the site's remaining frontage on 33 rd Street west of the entrance. b. 33rd Street Buffer: A 50-foot Type "A" buffer with a 6-foot opaque feature is required and proposed along the project's 33 rd Street frontage, where the site abuts the urban service area boundary. The opaque feature will consist of a combination berm/hedge that will be located within a separate tract and will not be part of any lot. The buffer and opaque feature will need to comply with all the design requirements of the new landscape ordinance. Prior to issuance of a land development permit, the applicant will need to obtain planning staff's approval of the final design ofthe buffer. The applicant will be required to install the buffer improvement prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion for the project. c. East Perimeter Buffer: A 25-foot Type "B" buffer is required and proposed along the project's east perimeter, which adjoins property zoned for single-family residential use. The buffer will be located within a separate tract and will not be part of any lot. The buffer will need to comply with all the design requirements of the new landscape ordinance. Prior to issuance of a land development permit, the applicant will need to obtain planning staff's approval of the final design of the buffer. The applicant will be required to install the buffer improvement prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion for the project. d: West Perimeter Buffer: A 25-foot Type "B" buffer is required and proposed along the project's west perimeter, which adjoins property zoned for agricultural use but designated for low-density residential use. The buffer will be located within a separate tract and will not be part of any lot. The buffer will need to comply with all the design requirements of the new landscape ordinance. Prior to issuance of a land development permit, the applicant will need to obtain planning staff's approval of the final design of the buffer. The applicant will be required to install the buffer improvement prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion for the project. F:\Community DevebpmentUsers\Brian F\subdivisionsSt Augustinapzc staff report.rt[ 3 e. South Perimeter Buffer Not Required: Because the site's south perimeter adjoins land zoned for multi-family residential use, no buffer is required along this perimeter. f 33rd Street Sidewalk Not Required: Because the subject site is separated from 33rd Street by a sublateral canal, no sidewalk is required along the site's 33rd Street frontage. g. Internal Sidewalks: Five-foot wide sidewalks are proposed along both sides of the project's internal street (St. Augustine Square). A minimum 6-foot strip of sodded and irrigated landscape area is provided between the adjacent curb and sidewalk. All sidewalks will be included in the land development permit and built or bonded-out prior to final plat approval. h. Streetlighting: Streetlights are required and will be maintained by a property owners' association. The streetlights must be incorporated into the project land development permit. i. Green Space and/or Recreation Area: At least 7 .5% of the total site area must be set-aside as dedicated common recreation area and/or green space. For this project, the applicant proposes to provide 2.48 acres, which is 8.3 7% ofthe site. The 2.48 acres will be provided in the two open space tracts in the site's northeast comer as well as the littoral zones required in the project's stormwater tract. The open space tracts are designed to accommodate passive recreation amenities. Staff has verified that these common green space and recreation facilities are located and designed as conveniently accessible amenities. Therefore, the project will satisfy the county's recreation area/green space requirement for single-family subdivisions. 7. Landscape Plan: This project is subjectto the new landscape ordinance adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on March 20, 2007. A preliminary landscape plan has been included with the project's preliminary plat. This preliminary landscape plan shows the location ofthe project's perimeter buffers, open space areas, and littoral zones. A final landscape plan will be required with the project's land development permit application. The final landscape plan will need to show the design of all buffers and opaque features, open space landscape areas, and required landscaping in stormwater tracts ( shoreline plantings and littoral zones). Forresidential projects with 20 or more units, such as this project, the landscape plan must be prepared by either a Florida registered landscape architect or a Florida certified landscape designer. 8. Concurrency: As required under the county's concurrency regulations, the applicant has applied for and obtained a conditional concurrency certificate for the project. The concurrency certificate was issued based upon a concurrency analysis and a determination that adequate capacity was available to serve this project at the time of the determination. The developer will be required to obtain final concurrency certificates prior to issuance of building permits, in accordance with county concurrency regulations.

Er.tllflln-.oom JIil S 1 2007 ADMINISTRA TlVE PERMIT USE (QUASI-JUDICIAL) INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission ./ opment Director THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP; Planning Director FROM: Steven Deardeuff; Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: July 27, 2007 SUBJECT: Dr. Valerie Biehl's Request for Administrative Permit Use Approval for a Veterinary Clinic and Accessory Kennel to be Known as East Coast Animal Medical Center. [SP-MA-07-04-22 2002120119-57610] It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its regular meeting of August 9, 2007. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Knight, McGuire and Associates, Inc. has submitted an application on behalf of Dr. Valerie Biehl for administrative permit use approval for a veterinary clinic and an accessory kennel on an 11.46 acre site. The proposed use constitutes a "veterinary clinic" under county land development regulations. Located at 6580 69th Street, the subject site is zoned A-1 (Agricultural up to one 1 unit per 5 acres), a zoning district in which administrative permit use approval is required for a veterinary clinic. Currently, there are horse stables and paddocks owned and operated by the applicant on the site. Prior to development of the stables a few years ago, the site was a former grove. The applicant now proposes to construct a veterinary clinic and accessory kennel building and retain the existing stables. The applicant also proposes to construct an outdoor animal exercise yard (to be enclosed by a 6-foot chain link fence) next to the proposed kennel building. The Planning and Zoning Commission is now to consider granting approval of the administrative permit use request for the veterinary clinic and accessory kennel. A use that requires an administrative permit is one that normally would not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties when carefully regulated in scale, duration, or nature. Administrative permit use approval requires submittal of a site plan that meets all of the specific use criteria set forth in Chapter 971.13(2) of the county's land development regulations. F:\Community Development\Users\Steven Deardeuft\SPMA (Major)\East Coast Animal Medical Center\East Coast Vet P&Z StaffReportrtf 1 ANALYSIS 1. Zoning Classification: A-1 (up to 1 unit per 5 acres) 2. Land Use Designation: AG-1 (up to 1 unit per 5 acres) 3. Minimum Lot Size: Required: 200,000 sq. ft. Existing: 499,285 sq. ft. or 11.46 acres 4. Development Area: Proposed 36,615 sq. ft. or 0.84 acres 5. Building Area: Proposed 4,116 sq. ft. Enclosed Veterinary Clinic 2,646 sq. ft. Enclosed Accessory Kennel Building 6,762 sq. ft. Total Building Area Note: The veterinary building is set back two hundred and seventy (270) feet from the closest property line (to the south). The kennel building is set back one hundred seventy six (176) feet from the closet property line (to the east). As proposed, there will be three (3) outdoor exercise areas adjacent to the proposed kennel building. These exercise areas, totaling 4,000 square feet, are proposed to be secured with a six ( 6) foot chain link fence with slats, and screened from the east and south by a ten (10) foot wide landscape buffer. 6. Phasing: The project will be constructed in a single phase. 7. Off-Street Parking: Required: 23 Parking Spaces Provided: 25 Parking Spaces Note: 1 space for every 300 square feet of gross building area is required. Of the twenty-three required parking spaces, one must be designated as handicapped accessible. The applicant has proposed twenty-five parking spaces. One space will be designated as handicapped accessible, while the twenty-four remaining spaces will be standard parking spaces. 8. Traffic: Currently, the site accesses 69th Street through an existing stabilized, unpaved driveway located on the north side of 69th Street. The subject site plan proposes paving this existing driveway to the standard two-way, twenty-two (22) foot width requirement for a commercial driveway. As proposed, the internal driveway will provide paved access to the proposed parking lot that will serve the veterinary clinic and kennel buildings. The internal traffic circulation plan and driveway design have been approved by the County's Traffic Engineering Division and Fire Prevention Division. 9. Utilities: The site will be served by well water and a septic system. These provisions have been approved by Utility Services Department and the Department of Health. Prior to release of the site plan, the applicant must obtain applicable Department of Health permits and/or approvals for the septic system. 10. Concurrency: As required under the county's concurrency regulations, the applicant has applied for and obtained a conditional concurrency certificate for the project.

Center\East Coast Vet P&Z Staff Report.rtf 2 with county concurrency regulations, the developer will be required to obtain final concurrency certificates prior to issuance of building permits. 11. Dedications and Required Improvements: Currently, 60 feet of road right-of-way exists for 69th Street adjacent to the subject site. The ultimate right-of-way for this segment is 100 feet. -The applicant has agreed to dedicate without compensation an additional forty feet of right-of way. In addition, the applicant has also agreed to dedicate without compensation a comer clip right-of-way parcel at the intersection of 69th Street and 66th Avenue. These dedications need to be granted prior to site plan release. 12. Environmental Issues: Environmental planning staff has inspected the site and verified that the site was former grove and that no wetlands or native upland plant communities exist on site. Therefore, no special upland or wetland requirements apply. 13. Landscape: Although this site plan application was submitted prior to the effective date of the new landscape ordinance (March 31, 2007), the site plan was not approved by June 29, 2007. Consequently, this application is subject to the new landscape ordinance requirements. The applicant has revised the landscape plan to meet the requirements of the new landscape ordinance. The applicant proposes a fifteen (15) foot right-of-way landscape buffer along the site's 66th Avenue and 69th Streets frontages. In addition, non vehicular open space landscaping, parking lot landscaping and a ten (10) foot wide exclusive driveway landscape buffer are provided. · 14. Specific Land Use Criteria for Veterinary Clinic: Pursuant to LDR section 971.13(2), the following criteria apply to the proposed use: 1. All facilities shall be located in an enclosed structure; Note: The proposed site plan satisfies this requirement. The veterinary clinic and kennel facilities are fully enclosed within a CBS block building. No unenclosed dog runs are proposed. 2. Commercial boarding ofanimals may be allowed only as an accessory use and only within a totally enclosed structure; Note: The proposed accessory kennel is sixty four (64) percent the size of the veterinary clinic building and is, therefore, subordinate to the veterinary clinic use. Animals will be boarded within an entirely enclosed CBS block building. Outdoor exercise areas are proposed for day time use only (7 A.M. to 6 P.M.), will be secured by a slated 6-foot chain-link fence, and will be located no closer that 175 feet from the nearest adjacent property. 3. All buildings shall be soundproofed in such a manner that adequately mitigates and/or attenuates noise impacts on adjacent properties. Note: To minimize potential noise impacts on surrounding properties, the proposed veterinary clinic and kennel buildings will be constructed of CBS block walls with a metal roof and sound absorption materials. In addition, the outdoor exercise areas will be restricted to daylight use only (7 AM. to 6 P.M.). This daylight use restriction is recommended as a condition of approval. F:\Community Development\Users\Steven DeardeuffiSPMA (Major)\East Coast Animal Medical Center\East Coast Vet P&Z StaffReport.rtf 3 15. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: A-1 / Groves; unplatted acreage. . th West: A-1 / 66 Avenue; groves; unplatted acreage. South: A-1 / 69th Street; groves; unplatted acreage. East: A-1 / Residential acreage. 16. Comparison to Top Hat and Tails Application: On February 22, 2007, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-2 to deny administrative permit use approval for the Top Hat and Tails commercial kennel application. That denial was appealed by the applicant, but subsequently upheld by the Board of County. Commissioners. In staffs opinion, the subject · application is substantially different from the Top Hat and Tails application. The Top Hat and Tails site plan was proposed to be located on a site located east of 66th Avenue just north of 77th Street, approximately one (1) mile north of the proposed East Coast Animal Medical Center. Below is a comparison of the two sites and proposed kennel uses. Top Hat & Tails East Coast Over all site size 7.74 acres 11.46 acres . Area of development 2.70 acres 0.84 acres Building square footage 13,790 sq ft 2,646 sq ft (kennel building) Primary use Commercial Kennel Veterinary Clinic Size of surrounding properties 1/2 acre to 10 acres 5 to 10 acres Building design Block building with under . Block building; no dog runs roof unenclosed dog runs Frontage Behind residential properties Lateral A/ 66th Ave and 69th fronting 66th Ave Street In summary, the subject application differs significantly from the denied Top Hat and Tails application. Compared to Top Hat and Tails, the subject application proposes a significantly smaller kennel operation that is accessory to a veterinary clinic, is located in an area of larger, conforming parcels rather than smaller non-conforming parcels, and abuts a major thoroughfare rather than adjacent private properties. No unenclosed dog runs are proposed as part of the subject application,· and the kennel building and exercise yards are set back twice as far as the building and exercise yards in the Top Hat and Tails proposal. 17. Noise Control: The applicant has provided planning staff with design information concerning efforts to minimize the effects of possible noise on surrounding properties. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission grant administrative permit use approval for the proposed veterinary clinic, subject to the following conditions: F:\Community Development\Users\Steven Deardeufl\SPMA (Major)\East Coast Animal Medical Center\East Coast Vet P&Z StaffReport.rtf 4 1. Prior to site plan release, the applicant shall: a. Obtain a Department of Health permit for the well and septic system. b. Dedicate without compensation 40 feet of right-of-way for 69th Street, as shown on the site plan. c. Dedicate without compensation the comer clip right-of-way at the intersection of 66th Avenue and 69th Street, as shown on the site plan. 2. Outdoor exercise areas shall be screened as shown on the site plan, and use of the areas by animals shall be limited to the hours of7 AM. to 6 P.M. ATTACHMENTS 1. Application 2. Location Map 3.

NOISE CONTRDL • Cementitious spray-on soundproofing; NRC of .85. The five areas of focus when controlling noise in veterinary facilities are absorption, isolation, dissipation, masking, and design of the HVAC system. A discussion of these areas of interest follows: Absorption _JLJ The first line of defense in controlling noise is to absorb the noise as close to the source as possible. The more surface area of absorbent material you have, the better off you will be. Unfortunately, the typical absorbent material is not very cleanable or durable, so you are faced with a dilemma. How do you absorb sound while providing a clean, aseptic environment? In looking at materials to be used to absorb sound, you are looking for a material with a high Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rating. The NRC rating quantifies the amount of noise a material absorbs. For example, a ceiling tile of .65 NRC means that it absorbs 65 percent of the reverberant noise that hits the tile. An NRC of 1.0 means it absorbs 10b percent. For the most part, you want to aim for materials with an NRC of approximately .75 to 1.0. In contrast, concrete block walls and concrete floors have an NRC of .00 to .l! AN I .

Going a little further with this concept, spreads, The best way to do this is to build your facility you can also see that a window in a wall or a door in a wall without holes for the s.ound to escape and of sufficient with a gap around it can significantly reduce the total density to eliminate the transmission of noise. effectiveness of the wall.

AN I . L ARTS 800.332.4413 www.anin1alarts.biz Dissipation Another way to control noise is to allow it to dissipate. In a larger room, noise can die off before it hits a wall and bounces back. In the outdoors where there are no walls, sound will die off at the inverse square of the distance. This means that theoretically the sound will die off to nothing in a very short distance. Inside, it is virtually impossible to create a space big enough for sound to die off naturally, but HVAC System Considerations by increasing the height of a room and adding as much Ducts penetrating from one sound area to another can be a absorption as possible, you can move toward this goal. possible source of sound or noise leakage. A ceiling penetration with a diffuser or grille will also allow sound to migrate to another room in the same sound area. ..>,--" ~ Eliminating ducts penetrating between sound areas can control sound leakage, but if ducts do penetrate, two things can be done. First, a sound attenuator can be installed in the Masking duct directly at the penetration. Care should be taken to seal Masking is your last resort if you cannot absorb, isolate, or the joint between the wall and the sound attenuator. dissipate the noise.

This is why it is okay to have a dog kennel joints or transitions in the installation of the sound located adjacent next to a nightclub, but not a library. controlling devices. In your facility, Muzak or a sound system can do a lot to mask noise coming from the animal areas. Coincidentally, it has been proven that Muzak in the animal holding areas can actually calm the animals. AN I " L ARTS 800.332.4413 www.animalarts.biz ii • !

Homebuyers are more environmentally and socially savvy. They want homes that are healthier for the occupants, the environment and the pocketbook. In April, a model home in Hidden Springs became the first home in Idaho to receive a national gold rating for its greenness - one of only six homes in the nation to receive the high rating. "This is the way the market is headed. We want to be at the leading edge instead of the trailing edge," said Anthony Collins, who, together with his father Joe Collins, owns Fireside Homes. The company built the home. Unstable energy supplies and prices, environmental and health concerns are driving the green building movement.. "The writing is on the wall. Builders and suppliers need to get on board or get left behind," said Tad Duby with OnPoint Advantage, which certifies LEED homes in Idaho and the region. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. In 2005, the Ada County Courthouse became the first building in Idaho to receive LEED certification. Since then, three more commercial buildings and six homes have been certified and at least a dozen more are under way, Duby said. "A lot of LEED homes are rolling in. In the last nine months, there's been more interest in LEED than Energy Star or anything else we've done," Duby said. "Within the next two years, I predict there will be several hundred LEED homes in Idaho." Energy Star homes are those built to standards shown to use less energy. LEED.a.certified homes are an even higher standard. These green homes are not like those from the 1970s, which were often located ln rural areas and built without electricity or plumbing. Today's green homes are high performance. A LEED-certified home indudes features designed to provide improved heath, safety, comfort and lower operating costs. LEED-certified homes are also more environmentally friendly, more durable, less polluting and make substantially better use of resources. The 2,600-square-foof model home the Collinses built is smart and efficient. Motion sensors in the bathrooms kick on the tankless water heater, meaning no waiting for hot water. Underground moisture sensors control the sprinkler system, activating it only when nee·ded. The ventilation system maintains hospital grade air. Water-saving features reduce water usage outside the home by nearly 60 percent and inside the home by about 50 percent. Extra insulation makes the home quieter and leak free. Other features include Energy Star appliances, sustainably harvested woods, low-VOC paint and carpet, cement and polymer flooring made with soy-based stain and native and drought-tolerant plants. More than 25 of the building products came from within 500 miles of Boise, including shingles from North Idaho and doors from Oregon. Constructions costs of a LEED home are 2 to 5 percent higher - $5 to $6 more per square foot - than a conventional home, but the home's energy-efficient features will save money in the long run with a 30 to 60 percent decrease in monthly utility bills. The homeowner's mortgage payment may go up $30 a month, but the utility bills will go down $100 a month, Joe said. The Collins' LEED home is 20 to 40 percent more efficient than an Energy Star home and about 50 percent more efficient than a house built to code, Anthony said. Initially, contractors gave Anthony "a deer in the headlights look" when he outlined the extra features going into the home. Once they learned more and understood the goal, they quickly got on board. Many local builders and suppliers are embracing green building practices, Duby said. More than 100 Idaho builders, architects and contractors have obtained LEED credentials. Not only are the homes more efficient, but they also are making the construction workers·more efficient, Anthony said. A LEED home gets extra points if construction waste is reduced. Constructing a typical home can generate 4.5 pounds of waste per square foot; Anthony's crews got it down to half a pound - that's less material discarded at the landfill, saving the builder money. Anthony said that's just common sense and all builders should be doing it. "The most difficult part of building a LEED home is the paperwork," Anthony said. "You have to document everything, get letters from each manufacturer verifying the product." Such high standards guarantee the homeowner an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly home, Duby said. Collins and his dad were so impressed with how well their first LEED home performed, they decided to build seven more LEED homes on lots they purchased in Hidden Springs.

For many, this green streak is viewed as a sort of environmental hair-shirt. Portlanders deprive themselves of prosperity in the name of saving the environment. Skeptics view biking, transit, density and urban growth boundaries as a kind of virtuous set/ denial, well meaning, but silly and uneconomic. Critics see the seeds of economic ruin. They claim planning, policies and regulations that restrict use or access to resources impede growth and lower household income. Both the skeptics and the critics are wrong. Being green means Portlanders save a bundle on cars and gas, and local residents have more money to spend on other things they value, which in turn stimulates the local economy. For example, consider transportation, just one of the areas Median commute miles per day for , 33 most populous US metro areas where important policy choices have contributed to creating 11 3 \ a distinctive Portland region. Compared to other large Average daily miles for metropolitan areas in the U.S., Portland area residents travel Portland area commute about 20 percent fewer miles every day. According to the U.S. . 20 . . 3 Department of Transportation the average resident of the 2 9 8 Miles s~ved compared metropolitan area traveled 20.3 miles per day in 2005.

The metropolitan area's vehicle miles traveled per ;r~~:!~i;:rh;:;: ~:::s $1 ,5 B person per day peaked in 1996.1 [Vehicle miles traveled is a very aggregated measure of travel, expressed as total miles divided by population. Consequently, it reflects the combined Total savings $ 2 ~ 6- B per year • effects of shorter trips and the use of alternative modes of transportation.] Four miles per day may not seem like much, but do the math Four miles per day may not seem like much, but do the math. The Portland metro area has roughly 2 million residents. If Portlanders traveled as much as the typical U.S. metro resident, that would produce 8 million more vehicle miles per day or about 2.9 billion more miles per year. A conservative estimate of the cost of David Horowitz, VMT UPDATE: 2005 Daily Vehicle Miles of Travel [DVMT) Data, Planning Dept., Metro Regional Government, December 6, 2006 driving is about 40 cents per mile. [At $3 a gallon, 15 cents of this is just the cost of fuel, figured at a fleet average of 20 miles per gallon, which is a generous number for city driving.) All told, the out-of-pocket savings work out to $1.1 billion dollars per year. This works out to about 1.5 percent of all personal income earned in the region in 2005. This is a good minimum estimate of the aggregate economic benefits-the green dividend-that Portland area residents enjoy as a result of land use planning and related environmental policies. But the benefits don't stop there. Since Portlanders don't spend that money on transportation, they have more money to spend on other things. Because so much of what is spent on transportation immediately leaves the state-Oregon makes neither cars nor gasoline-money not spent on transportation gets spent on sectors of the economy that have a much larger local multiplier effect. [Think locally-brewed beer.I According to IRS data, about 73 percent of the retail price of gas [back when it was under $2 a gallon, by the way] and 86 percent of the retail price of cars is the ··cost of goods sold," which immediately leaves the local economy. The $1.1 billion Portlanders don"t spend on car travel translates into $800 million that is not leaving the local region. Because this money gets re-spent in other sectors of the economy, it stimulates local businesses rather than rewarding Exxon or Toyota. Households that spend more on transportation spend less on housing, and vice versa So where does the money saved on traveling fewer miles get spent? We don"t know exactly, but we have some clues. National data show that there is an inverse relationship between household spending on transportation and housing: households that spend more on transportation spend less on housing, and vice versa. Shorter distances traveled means Portland residents have more money to s·pend on their homes. We also know that Portlanders spend more on some things - outdoor recreation and alcoholic beverages, for example. And, not incidentally, Portland has more restaurants per capita than any other large metropolitan area, save Seattle and San Francisco. Not traveling has another important economic benefit - saving time. And time, as the saying goes, is money. The Oregon Department of Transportation estimates that consumers value time spent traveling at about $15 per hour. 2 So every hour saved is the equivalent of $15 in additional income. Based on an average travel speed of 27 miles per hour, Portland residents traveling 2.88 billion fewer miles per year spend 100 million fewer hours traveling. The economic value of the time saved is $1.5 billion per year. A counter argument might be made that Portland residents· greener behavior is the product of policies that impinge on their choices, and that less money spent commuting and less travel time reflects their being worse off, or. that shorter travel is a product of frustration with congestion. But there is no evidence for that. In fact, more than 60 percent of metro Portland's residents rated their transportation system good or excellent, compared to only 35 percent of Americans.' There"s strong evidence that time spent commuting - particularly commuting alone - has a large negative effect on self-reported levels of happiness. 2 Oregon Department of Transportation, The Value of Travel-Time: Estimates of the Hourly Value of Time for Ve- hicles in Oregon 2003, http:ljwww.oregon.gov/ODOT/CS/EA/reportsNalue of Travl-Time 2003.pdf 3 Bob Moore, Kelly Middendorf!, and Jill Dehlin, Transportation System Ratings, !Moore Information, Portland, ORI. June12,2007, page 1. One study found a 23-minute commute had the same effect on happiness as a 19 percent reduction in income !Stutzer and Frey 20041. A second concluded that public policies like congestion taxes or carpool subsidies that reduce time spent commuting alone could actually make people happier IKahneman and Krueger 20061. So shorter commutes make people happier, as well as better off financially. There are also, of course, huge environmental benefits. To gauge·their magnitude, we use ·the assumption that vehicle emissions are proportional to total miles traveled. This is a reasonable assumption for greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and a bit fuzzier for hydrocarbons, where emissions are also accentuated by starting and stopping an engine. !Avoiding a single short trip will reduce much more pollution than shaving that same distance off a longer one.I Again, with a metropolitan population of roughly 2 million driving four miles per day less than the average American, it means the people of Portland travel 8 million miles less per day. At a fleet average of 20 miles per gallon, that means Portlanders burn 400,000 fewer gallons per day. At 19.4 pounds of carbon emitted per gallon burned,.their lower level of emissions saves about 1.4 million tons of greenhouse gases per year. 4 The long term price of carbon is estimated at about $20 to $50 per ton,5 making the value of annual carbon savings from Portland"s greater efficiency worth between $28 and $70 million annually. Portland residents are twice as likely to use transit. .. seven times more likely to commute by bicycle A variety of other data points make it clear that Portland is greener than other places. Portland residents are twice as likely to use transit to commute to work and seven times more likely to commute by bicycle than the average metropolitan resident of the U.S., according to the latest census bureau estimates !Mayer 20071. We know that Oregonians buy fewer new cars than other Americans !even though the total number of cars in operation, per capita, is roughly the same as the national average). Oregonians buy about 46 new vehicles per 1,000 persons each year, compared to about 55 new vehicles per 1,000 persons nationally.' Oregon also consumes about 10 percent less motor fuel per capita than does the rest of the United States.' The Department of Labor's Consumer Expenditure Survey shows that Portland has the second lowest rate of spending on transportation costs of the 28 largest metro areas. Residents spend about 4 percentage points less of their total household budgets on transportation than other Americans, about 15.1 percent compared to 19.1 percent nationally !Center for Neighborhood Technology and Surface Transportation Policy Project 2005). 4 19.4 pounds of carbon per gallon of gas is the EPA estimate; see httpJ/www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/420f05004.htm 5 International Panel on Climate Change, quoted in, ""A Special Report on Business and Climate Change, The Economist, June 2, 2007, page 30. 6 Computed from total new-vehicle registrations by state, reported in AutoExec magazine, May 2007, [autoexec- mag.coml divided by population data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis [bea.govJ. 7 Energy Information Agency, Motor Gasoline Prices and Expenditures Ranked by State, 2004. http://www.eia.doe. gov/emeu/states/sep sum/plain html/. Oregon·s average consumption was 53.5 million btu per capita for motor.fuel, compared to a national average of 59.6 million btu per capita. Consumption calculated from data on prices and expendi tures. We also know that people in Portland buy greener cars than in other places. The Portland market ranks No. 1 in the nation for per capita sales of hybrid vehicles. Portlanders purchased 11.2 hybrids per 1,000 households in 2006, double the rate of purchase in Los Angeles [No. 5) and triple the rate of purchase in Denver [No. 15). 8 Land use patterns and transit obviously contribute to lower vehicle miles of travel per capita. With its urban growth boundary, Portland has a particularly compact development pattern, which facilitates shorter trips to work, for shopping and other purposes. Comparative national research shows that in metro Portland 30 percent of all jobs are within three miles of the central business district. Fewer than 20 percent are more than 10 miles from the CBD. Of the nation's 50 largest metropolitan areas, only two, New York and San Francisco, have a higher proportion of regional employment within three miles of the CBD [Glaeser, Kahn et al. 2001). While in most places there is a strong negative relationship between income and transit use, Portland ranks eighth among the nation's 50 largest metropolitan areas in the percentage of the non-poor population that reports regular transit use. About 19 percent of non-poor Portlanders used transit, compared to 45 percent in New York, 10.5 percent in Atlanta, 8.7 percent in Houston and 6.7 percent in Dallas [Cortright 2006). Denser neighborhoods and greater accessibility to jobs and shopping activity are strongly correlated with less driving by individual households. A careful study of the travel patterns of people living in Portland showed people living in the most urbanized neighborhoods tend to travel only a third as many miles as those in the least urbanized neighborhoods [Lawton 1999). Commitment to green policies and the prevalence of green lifestyles has attracted people and business to the region And far from driving people and businesses away from the region, the commitment to green policies and the prevalence of green lifestyles has attracted people and business to the region. Over the decade of the 1990s, the number of college-educated 25 to 34 year-olds increased 50 percent in the Portland metropolitan area five times faster than in the nation as a whole, with the fastest increase in this age group being recorded in the city's close-in neighborhoods [Cortright and Coletta 2004). There's strong evidence that this group chooses Portland, in part, because it is green. Not only do they disproportionately choose close-in neighborhoods, but unlike 25 to 34 year-olds in most metropolitan areas, those with college degrees in Portland are actually somewhat more likely to use the transit system than their less well-educated counterparts. 8 U.S. Regional Market-February 2007, www.hybridcars.com. Data are from R.L. Polk and Co. The time and money saved by less driving produces more demand for other local goods and services Portland's greenscape is the combined result of individual and collective decisions about how Portlanders want to live. Collectively, the community has planned for density, arranged land uses more compactly and provided transit alternatives to a wide range of neighborhoods. Individually, citizens have responded, and compared to other urban Americans, drive less, take shorter trips, use transit more often, and purchase more green vehicles. And far from individual or social self-denial, these choices have produced a tangible green dividend for the region - more than a billion dollars in savings on out-of-pocket spending for transportation, as well as another $1.5 billion savings in time. The time and money saved by less driving produces more demand for other local goods and services, and so, in fact, stimulates the local economy. It's time to replace the cliche of green policy as sacrifice and instead recognize that for progressive regions and their residents, being green pays handsome economic dividends.

By CRAIG PITTMAN and RON BRACKETT Published July 23, 2007 In his recent speeches about global warming, Florida Gov.

Only Texas and California consume more. Where Florida's green house gases come from Steps to change CO2 emissions by source • Over the next decade, Crist wants to cut the state's production of greenhouse gases to 250-million metric tons, then cut it again to 209-million metric tons - the level it was at in 1990 - by 2025. His ultimate goal is to cut it to 20 percent of the 1990 level, which would be just 41-million metric tons, by 2050. • Crist plans to set new rules for the state's utilities - including Progress Energy and Tampa Electric Co., which serve the Tampa Bay area - that require them to cut their emissions to match the state's goals. He's also ordered a rewrite of the state building code to require more energy-efficient homes. What it means to you Don't worry, you won't have to sit in line at an auto inspection station. Instead, Crist has told automakers that beginning with the 2009 model year, they cannot sell any vehicles in Florida that. do not reduce greenhouse gas pollutants by 25 percent for cars and 18 percent for sport utility vehicles. To make that requirement stick, though, Crist needs permission from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which so far has spent two years studying an identical plan from California. This push for cleaner cars and power sources may increase some costs for consumers, but there could be savings from more energy-efficient homes and appliances. Making a green buck There's money to be made from battling global warming. One of the sponsors of Grist's summit was the investment banking firm Goldman Sachs, which has committed itself to investing $1-billion in projects that generate energy from sources other than oil and gas. Earlier this year the state handed out $15-million in grants for projects researching the use of citrus waste and sugarcane for producing fuel. Among the recipients: the agriculture giant Alica and the University of Florida. httn://www.sntimes.com/2007/07/23/news p£'State/How Florida could go .shtrnl 7/23/2007 Page 3 of3 And if nothing changes?

Florida biofuels on fast track At the Farm to Fuel summit, a firm says it will make ethanol from citrus peels. By David Adams and Asjylyn Loder, Times Staff Writers Published July 20, 2007 ST. PETERSBURG -At the state's first biofuels summit last year, the concept of renewable energy was so novel it almost seemed like science fiction. The meeting, organized by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, attracted a decent crowd, and a lot of curiosity, but a good deal of skepticism, too. Fast forward a year to this week, and things are beginning to look a lot more here and now. Last year, State Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson led the summit. Jeb Bush and other state leaders, save a handful of state legislators, were not visible. But state leaders lined up Thursday at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort hotel to address the packed Farm to Fuel meeting, including Gov. Charlie Crist fresh from his own Climate Change summit in Miami last week, and state Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink. "This has become a movement," Crist told the opening session. "We've got to do more,'' he said later, talking to reporters. "People understand it's important to wean us off dependence on foreign oil, that we have an opportunity as well as a responsibility to develop fuel right here in Florida." A week after Crist signed three executive orders meant to sharply reduce the state's dependence on foreign oil while also cutting emissions of greenhouse gases, the hallways of the Vinoy were packed and rife with new deals being struck for biofuels. A sample of the day's news: - FPL Energy announced the signing of a letter of intent with Citrus Energy LLC of Boca Raton to build a 4-million gallon plant that will use citrus peels to make ethanol; - Progress Energy Florida, based in St. Petersburg, put out a request for renewables, asking any and all energy and fuel producers to come to them with their plans; - A Dade City biodiesel plant set to begin production next week reported being "bombarded" with interest from energy producers looking to tap its power. The increased interest and excitement in Farm to Fuel stems in large part from state energy and fuel companies scrambling to meet Grist's new mandate that all utilities get 20 percent of their energy from renewable sources. httn·//www sntimes.com/2007/07/20/news ofi'Business/Florida biofuels on .shtml 7/20/2007 Page 2 of2 "There's been an exponential evolution in this market, both from the government side and the private side, since last year," said Jerry Paul, a Tallahassee-based energy consultant with Capitol Energy. FPL Energy says its plant in Hendry County will be the world's first commercial plant to convert citrus peels into ethanol. Florida could produce 60-million to 90-million gallons of ethanol per year from citrus peels, replacing about 1 percent of Florida's annual consumption of gasoline, said David Stewart, president of Citrus Energy. The plant will be owned and operated by FPL Energy, and is expected to be producing ethanol within two years, Stewart said. Similarly, Progress Energy said its statewide call to producers of renewable energy and fuel was designed to find "newer, cleaner ways to produce energy," stated CEO Jeff Lyash. Progress Energy already gets 5 percent of its power from renewable sources, including energy efficiency, biomass, and landfill gas and waste, said spokeswoman Cherie Jacobs. The utility also plans to partner with a biomass plant built by Biomass Investment Group. Construction has not yet begun, but Progress Energy expects to have the 130-megawatt plant online by 2010. Other innovative Florida companies are simply hoping to capitalize on the large new market opening up for renewable fuels. Agri-Source Fuels LLC says its 120-million gallon biodiesel plant in Dade City will be the largest in the country when it is fully operalional. The company is leasing a former Lykes juice processing plant, which closed three years ago. The company is using Alabama chicken waste as its primary fuel. Crist also used the summit to announce that he will lead a state trade mission to Brazil in November in part to explore collaboration with that country's huge ethanol industry. Crist told reporters that Brazil was interested in building ethanol gas stations in Florida as well as supplying the fuel. Although imports of Brazilian ethanol are currently limited by a tariff to protect domestic producers, Bronson said the state would need to import large amounts of fuel to meet its targets. He predicted that in the next five to 10 years 60 percent of the state's transportation. fuel would be renewable, with half of that coming from abroad. "I think you are going to see a major influx of biofuels in the state of Florida," he said.

Running on a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, the truck is one of about 400,00'0 "E85," or "FlexFuel," vehicles that General Motors will produce this year as part of its "Live Green, Go Yellow" initiative highlighting the high-octane, cleaner-burning fuel. The presence of ethanol-fueled vehicles at a NASCAR race is just one of the more visible indicators of how the corn-based fuel, which debuted as a gasoline extender during the gas shortages of the 1970s, is moving front and center on Florida's economic stage as the nation attempts to trim its consumption of foreign oil, Another: Gov. Jeb Bush's 2006 legislative proposals, which include funding for research and demonstration projects and tax incentives associated with alternative fuels, including ethanol. But while awareness of ethanol may be growing in Florida, there's hardly any of the stuff itself here yet. Most cars sold in Florida aren't set up to burn the EBS blend. There are only two E85 pumping stations in Florida -- one at Hurlburt Field near Fort Walton Beach and the other at Kennedy Space Center -- and both are closed to the public. The closest EBS public retailer is at the Dixie Road Shoppette Jn Fort Benning, Ga. The story's the same for the weaker ethanol mixture that most cars can use -- a 10% blend of ethanol known as ElO. There are no publicly operated ElO pumps in Florida. For both economic and logistical reasons, ethanol must be manufactured near where it's used in order for it to be viable. It can't be piped in like petroleum products because of its tendency to absorb water. Instead, it must be shipped in by rail or truck and "splash-blended," or mixed, at terminal stations, as it is loaded into tanker trucks. With the nearest ethanol manufacturing facilities in Kentucky, ethanol is simply too expensive an option for Florida gas retailers. How soon ethanol is manufactured in Florida involves the fortunes of Bradley Krohn, a forll1er scientist with Missouri-based Monsaqto Co. who worked on creating hybrid types of corn that produce greater yields of ethanol. In 2004, Krohn and a fellow Monsanto veteran named Mike Kinley launched Tampa-based U.S. EnviroFuels LLC. The company has just received a state construction permit for an $BO-million ethanol-production plant at the Port of Tampa. It is planning anoth·er facility at Port Manatee near Bradenton. Krohn has already negotiated a feedstock contract -- the price it will pay for corn -- and completed its marketing agreements. It is now lining up financing. "We're well-positioned to supply the entire Florida market because we are a flexible transportation facility," says Krohn. "We can move ethanol to the Port of Tampa, the Port of Jacksonville and Port Everglades by ocean vessel, truck or rail." Groups in North Carolina and Georgia are working on ethanol manufacturing facilities as well, but Krohn and his partners are alone in working on creating a supply of ethanol in Florida. Krohn's position at the cutting edge of ethanol production may well make him a business success story in coming years. But even if he can break ground on his two plants this summer, it will likely be at least a year later before he's making any ElO ethanol for sale in Florida. And even if U.S. EnviroFuels reaches its targeted production of 40 million gallons of ElO by the fall of 2007, all that ethanol would only cut gas consumption in the state less than one-half of 1 % at most. Krohn's broadest impact in the short term may be on Florida's agricultural sector. In a move that holds enormous potential for Florida growers, he's looking beyond corn to crops that could be grown locally on a year-round basis for ethanol production. Last fall, Krohn teamed up with an Ohio doctor, Anthony Senagore, who runs an ethanol distillery in Bartow, to experiment with turning sweet sorghum, sweet potatoes and citrus waste into ethanol. · Calling themselves the Tampa Bay Ethanol Consortium, Krohn, Senagore and two co-applicants landed a $1.92-million grant from the USDA and Department of Energy's Biomass Research and Development Initiative to design and construct a 2- million-gallon-per-year flex feed ethanol pilot plant. "We're very confident about the data we will prove within the state of Florida because the feedstocks are all high-quality" and require very little manipulation before going into fermentation, says Sena gore. Turning to citrus httn· //flnrirlstr~nrl r.nm/nrint article.asn?aTD=44780 7/20/2007 floridatrend.com - Printer Friendly Version Page 2 of3. USDA researcher Wilbur Widmer says it's becoming more economical to convert other crops -- including the 5 million tons of citrus waste produced each year in Florida -- into ethanol. A research chemist at the USDA Citrus and Subtropical Products Laboratory in Winter Haven, Widmer has been carrying on the work of Karel Groh-mann, a now-retired scientist, who made strides in converting citrus peel to ethanol fuel using a special enzyme cocktail. Grohmann's lab work, carried out a decade ago when gas prices were cheap and enzyme prices were steep, sat dormant until economic factors realigned favorably. Gas prices have soared, enzyme costs have fallen, and Flprida citrus farmers have experienced a precipitous drop in the price of citrus waste they sell for cattle feed. Today, via a partnership with a private sector company, Renewable Spirits LLC, Widmer is setting up a 10,000-gallon waste to-ethanol plant at the facility of a loCal juice processor. Converting "absolutely every bit" of the state's citrus waste each year to ethanol would produce between 60 million and 70 million gallons annually, Widmer estimates. "That would be enough to supply fuel additive demands for one section of Florida,'' he says. Another potential Florida source of ethanol -- sugar cane -- holds less promise for the moment. Brazil, the world leader in ethanol production, produces about 4 billion gallons of ethanol every year from sugar cane. But Brazil has more land for sugar and has a longer growing season than Florida's. "To be cost-effective, you would have to have a feedstock you would use on a year-round basis," explains Barbara Miedema, vice president of public affairs for the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida. Meanwhile, state agencies and elected officials continue smoothing the way for ethanol. The Agriculture Department's Division of Standards, which regulates the sale of gasoline, is promulgating new rules to enable greater use of ethanol by amending the definition of petroleum fuels. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson acknowledges that the move toward El0 will take time. "As far as ethanol at the pump, we're looking at more than likely two years before we get enough plants and get some mixture facilities," he estimates. As for EBS, the 85% ethanol blend that would more sharply reduce gasoline consumption, Widmer, for one, isn't holding his breath. "As a replacement for gasoline, that's a very, very long way off." How Efficient Is Ethanol? Is ethanol worth the effort? Cornell University professor David Pimentel and UniverSity of California Berkeley professor Tad Patzek have argued consistently that the energy outputs from ethanol are less than the fossil energy inputs it takes to make the ethanol -- approximately 1.3 gallons of oil, they_argue, go into producing one gallon of ethanol. Included in their equations are everything from the energy inputs in the labor and machinery used to harvest the corn to the energy expended on removing wastewater from the ethanol during the distillation process. The duo frequently rails against the $3 billion in annual federal and state subsidies steered toward the ethanol industry. Pimentel doesn't buy the argument that ethanol can lead to an indepen_dence from foreign oil. "I wish it were so because we need a liquid fuel source, but when yeu're having to import oil and natural gas to produce this resource, that's not going in the right direction. It's making us more vulnerable and less secure internationally," says Pimentel. Brad Krohn of U.S. Envirofuels says the Pimentel/Patzek studies are "myth," not science, and questions Patzek's prior connections to the oil industry. Pimentel's own colleagues dealt his research perhaps the biggest blow when they refuted his ethanol research in the January issue of Science magazine. In that issue, Daniel Kammen, professor in the Energy and Resources Group and director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory at UC Berkeley, and other researchers reported that negative net energy studies "incorrectly ignored co-products and used obsolete data." The report concluded that ethanol significantly reduces petroleum use but cuts greenhouse gas emissions "only moderately," by about 13%. "We think it's settled," says Kammen. Ethanol Q & A Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol, is a 200-proof grain alcohol. Chemically speaking, it's the same alcohol found in vodka or other distilled spirits. A clear, colorless and flammable liquid, it is produced by the fermentation of sugars. Q. How is it made? A. Most ethanol produced in the U.S. comes from corn, but only 70% of the kernel, the starch or sugar portion, is actually converted into ethanol. The fermented starch is then distilled and the excess water is removed to make ethanol. With today's technology, one bushel of corn yields 2.8 gallons of ethanol, although the yield is constantly increasing. Leftover portions of the corn containing fats, oils and proteins become distillers grain, a highly nutritious animal feed. Q. Will it replace gasoline? A. No. Ethanol is an additive, not a replacement for gasoline. While virtually all cars today can run on El0, a 10% httn ·//fl nri cl stri,ncl. c,om /nrint arti c le.aso ?aID=447 80 7/20/2007 floridatrend.com - Printer Friendly Version Page 3 of3 ethanol/90% gasoline blend, the majority of vehicles aren't set up to burn the higher concentration of ethanol fuel, known as E85. Flexible Fuel Vehicles, which can run on anything from straight gasoline up to 85% ethanol, are usually identified as such in the vehicle's owners manual and inside the gas door. Q. Will it lower gas prices? A. It depends. According to the Consumer Federation of America, cons_umers who purchase ElO could be saving as much as 8 cents per gallon compared to straight gas. But a June 2005 study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that using ethanol as an additive to gasoline is associated with higher wholesale gasoline prices. The GAO study found that the average price for conventional gasoline with ethanol was about 4 cents per gallon higher than conventional without ethanol over the time period analyzed. According to the USDA, ethanol tends to track gasoline closely, meaning it doesn't raise or lower the cost of gasoline, but it does extend the overall supply of motor fuel in the country, thereby reducing the need for foreign oil. Florida Fuel Usage Floridians consume 8.6 billion gallons of gasoline a year, or nearly 24 million gallons each day, not including aviation fuels. Consumption is growing by about 300 million gallons per year, according to the Florida Department of Revenue. In 10 years, consumption will increase to 32.3 million gallons per day, assuming a 15% population growth. By 2010, ethanol could potentially replace 490 million gallons of gasoline a year. On the face of it, providing enough of an ElO blend for every driver in the state should save 10% of the gas used by Floridians, or 980 million gallons per year. In reality, octane boosters are typically added to about only half of the fuel used, reducing·the impact to 490 million gallons. The real benefit initially would come from ethanol's replacement of water-polluting MTBEs, the most common octane booster in Florida. New mandates contained in the federal energy bill passed last year, however, could boost the amount of ethanol used nationwide, including in Florida. The new Renewable Fuels Standard calls for a steady increase in the amount of ethanol used annually, up from 4 billion gallons in 2006 to 7.5 billion gallons by 2012. © Copyright 2007 Florida Trend All Rights Reserved. httn://floridatrend.com/orint article.aso?aID=44780 7/20/2007 TCPalm: Columnists Page 1 of2 TCPalm To print this page, select File then Print from your browser URL: http://www.tcpalm.com/tcp/business_columnists/article/0,2541,TCP_1143_5633371,00.html Jim Turner: Can you bear alternative energy's inconveniences? By JIM TURNER assistant business editor July 18, 2007 You'd think Gov. Charlie Crist's push for the Sunshine State to get greener would be a no-brainer. Floridians, especially those along the Treasure Coast, are eco-savvy. We even have people willing to spend nearly $1 million to buy an island with a limted chance it will be developed. Of course, some people will pay for an island or neighboring land because they don't want the intrusion of new people, new construction or just something new changing the landscape around their homes or along the river. Wait until Florida Power & Light tries buying 20 acres or 200 acres outside the urban service area to lay out a solar farm or plants massive propellers along a scenic beachfront to generate wind power. I'd expect most people would say they wouldn't have a problem with the green efforts. Recently residents from throughout South Florida rose up to join the protest of the coal-fired power plant in Glades County, just as they did against the one planned for western St. Lucie County two years earlier. They questioned the amount of pollutants, including mercury, that would be emitted by the plant, along with effects of groundwater pollution and the impact of coal-loaded trains rumbling through t~e area. I'm not saying a coal plant would be good for a fragile ecosystem, but the thing that struck me is that the population of South Florida demands more power. And if we're going to rely upon solar and wind to replace just the twin 980-megawatt units that will not be built on 5,000 acres on the west side of Lake Okeechobee, than we must accept alternative sources. And those power sources need lots of land. A solar farm needs about 4 acres just to generate 1 megawatt, if you look at FPL's efforts to create 250,000 kilowatts on a half-acre in Sarasota. And to produce the energy of the coal-fired plant that won't be built, FPL spokesman Nick Blount says you'd have to line the beaches of Florida from Jacksonville to Pensacola with wind-generating propellers. Rules require each propeller to be separated by 1,000 feet. With the right wind, you can get 2 megawatts out of one wind generator: enough to power about 200 homes. But besides the visible distraction, and growing concerns of the potentially fatal impact wind turbines can have on bird populations, the wind machines are propellers. They are essentially a modification of what's on an airplane. And propellers create noise. The New York Times recently reported that a man in Beach Haven Terrace, N.J., was being challenged by his neighbors over a 35-foot windmill he erected in his backyard. The windmill shaved $114 a year off his electric bill, but as one neighbor stated in a lawsuit, "during a 14-mile-per- hour-wind, the three fiberglass blades produce noise greater than 50 decibels, the rough equivalent of light traffic or a noisy refrigerator." In recent years, the residents living around St. Lucie County International Airport have voiced-concerns about small propeller aircraft. I was told the planes were like living with landscapers cutting the grass around your home all day. FPL will test a pair of wind generators some time soon near its nuclear power plant on Hutchinson Island. Hopefully the machines will be seen for what they may provide rather than as an intrusion upon the landscape.

LUCIE COUNTY -A lease is almost ready for a project that has put St. Lucie County trash on the map - and if things go according to plan, groundbreaking on the nation's first garbage vaporizing plant at the county landfill could happen next summer. Publicity surrounding Geoplasma Inc. and St. Lucie County about the planned plasma arc gasification facility, which would be the largest in the world, has sparked national and international interest, Geoplasma President Hilburn Hillestad said. "We've had enormous interest, lots of visitors to our Atlanta home offices," said Hillestad, who also said the company is in "serious negotiations" with the private and public sector for other facilities. He would not name potential clients. St. Lucie County has had more than 1,000 calls from across the country about the project from private companies and government officials and calls from Australia, the United Kingdom and several from a government official in Dubai, according to Ron Roberts, the county's assistant solid waste director. "They just talk to us how we got where we are (with the project) and ... they want to know what they can do to get these people (Geoplasma) to come there," he said. Geoplasma officials will be in town Tuesday for meetings with the county about the lease. Terms will include: o Defining the exact area Geoplasma will use at the landfill, including where trucks can access the building D Insurance for the facility o Environmental concerns, including vaporizing rubber tires, and emissions. Hillestad said Wednesday he expects the lease to be finalized in the next few weeks. After it's finalized and approved by the St. Lucie County Commission, the plan is for Geoplasma officials to get the permits needed to build and run the facility. That process could take until spring 2008, Hillestad said. Then the company would finish httn· / /wv,mv tr.na lm r.nm/rnews/'.W07/i111/27 /nlans-for-the-facilitv-are-tumin2:-heads/?orinter... 7/30/2007 -----,I •.,, trash vaporization facility in St. Lucie are turning heads worldwide : TCPaL. Page 2 of2 ,ecuring its financing. The $450 million project will be completely paid for by Geoplasma. The company plans to sell industrial bonds to pay for its construction. St. Lucie County will have no liability in regard to paying off the bonds regardless of what happens with Geoplasma. The company will have to put up a performance bond in the neighborhood of $5 million, in the event the facility does not perform as anticipated, and that money would be used by the county to convert the facility to another use or to demolish it. The facility will vaporize 1,000 tons of household garbage per day and convert the gas generated into electricity the company would sell. Within five years, the company would increase the capacity of the plant to 3,000 tons of garbage a day and generate enough electricity to serve about 40,000 homes. The facility is expected to generate $150 million in county tax revenue during its first 20 years and the county will have the opportunity to renegotiate the contract to obtain .direct revenue from the plant's operation. Although there were initial environmental concerns about the project because the process will release emissions, Geoplasma officials said it will be a minor source of emissions, and they agreed to install and operate a continuous emissions monitor allowing real-time data on emissions from the plant • The plasma arc gasification facility will be built on the St. Lucie County landfill property, a 331-acre site on Glades Cut-Off Road that would use a process called plasma arc gasification to heat garbage with electrically generated plasma torches, converting the material to gas and a slag byproduct. D The gas created from the process can be used to generate energy and the slag or silicate can be made into paver bricks or road materials. • Plans include vaporizing incoming waste and mined waste from the landfill. ~ © 2007 Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers httw / /www tr.na lm. r.om/news/2007 /iul/27/olans-for-the-facilitv-are-turning-heads/?printer:.. 7/30/2007 Page 1 of3 tampabav.to1m Know it now .. Businesses cringe at entrusting land to voters A ballot initiative would involve the public in land-use changes. By JENNIFER LIBERTO Published July 17, 2007 TALLAHASSEE - It's not often that a ballot initiative gets compared to "Armageddon" or a "nuclear bomb." But that's the kind of rhetoric that business groups are using to describe a little-known group called Hometown Democracy that wants to give voters direct control over new development. You may not have heard of Hometown Democracy, but you will. Opponents are predicting it will be the costliest ballot initiative fight to date: maybe as much as $65-million. The group officially has 262,000 of the 611,000 verified signatures needed by Feb. 1 to get its initiative on the November 2008 ballot, according to state records. The way it works now is if a developer wants to build anything from a Wal-Mart Supercenter to a new high school in a spot that's designated for, say, agriculture, the developer goes to a county commission or a city council and asks to change the land-use designation. Then the state must sign off, too. Under the Hometown Democracy ballot measure, any land-use changes that conflict with the local government's plan for growth, called a comprehensive plan, would have to be approved by a majority of its voters. In November, St. Pete Beach became the first Florida city lo give voters control over changes to its comprehensive plan. Supporters say Hometown Democracy will.stop willy-nilly land-use changes and force a slowdown in Florida growth. · Opponents say such an initiative will bring all growth, and thus Florida's economy, to a screeching halt. That prospect is more frightening to business groups than anything to do with property tax or insurance, which is why in just three months, the Florida Chamber, the national parent of the florida Home Builders Association and the sugar behemoth U.S. Sugar already have raised close to $1-million to bankroll an anti-Hometown Democracy group called Floridians for Smarter Growth. That's more than Hometown Democracy has raised in its entire four-year battle. "From where we sit, it's going to be a very expensive campaign," said Michael Caputo, a Republican consultant who just moved to Orlando to open headquarters for Floridians for Smarter Growth. Hometown Democracy has raised $484,000 in cash so far, $94,300 from co-founder Lesley Blackner, an environmental lawyer. Blackner, who was out of town last week, also has contributed services to the effort worth an additional $341,000. httn·//www.sntimes.com/2007/07/17/news o£'State/Businesses crmge at .shtml 7/17/2007 Page 2 of3 The other co-founder, Ross Burnaman, says he's not intimidated by his opponents' efforts or their deep pockets. "We're not a special interest group, we're not profiting on this, and we're not doing this for personal gain," said Burnaman, who is also an environmental lawyer. "We're just Floridians who think we should educate citizens on what the long-term vision for development should be." After a lengthy court fight just to get the ballot measure's language approved by the Florida Supreme Court, Hometown Democracy's battle is now largely one of signatures and money. In addition to the 262,000 signatures, the group has collected another 188,000 that need to be verified, Burnaman said. And for the first lime, the group is attracting bigger dollar contributions, such as a $25,000 check from Joe Redner, a Democratic activist and owner of the Mons Venus strip club in Tampa. "I just believe that developers have way too much say-so in how our wetlands and all our lands are being paved over," Redner said. The group also got $80,000 from Dr. Steve R,osen, a South Florida skin care mogul, former dentist and animal rights activist. Rosen famously saved 320 black-tailed jackrabbits from death at Miami International Airport. Meanwhile, Floridians for Smarter Growth also has gained momentum. That group's organizer, Caputo, is a veteran of the last big environment vs. industry fight: He helped the sugar industry defeat the 1996 ballot measure that would have taxed it for Everglades restoration efforts. Hometown Democracy's measure would cripple Florida's economy and clog up election cycles with some 200 to 300 local referendums each year, said Paul Thompson, senior vice president for the Florida Home Builders Association. He compares the measure to Armageddon. "If that sounds over-dramatic, let me assure you it's not," Thompson wrote on the home builders' Web site. "Whatever pain you might be feeling right now with the economic slowdown, it's nothing compared to the utter devastation that Hometown Democracy will bring to the Florida home building and development industry." Beyond fundraising, Floridians for Smarter Growth has started collecting signatures for a competing ballot measure that looks nearly identical to the Hometown Democracy initiative, except for one caveat. Under this other measure, a proposed land-use change could go before voters only if 10 percent of residents sign a petition at the county Supervisor of Election's Office saying they want to hold an election on the proposed land-use change. It's a controversial idea that divides the business community. Associated Industries of Florida opposes Hometown Democracy, but ii doesn't want to support a measure that would acknowledge elections as the way to go for land-use changes. The group also is skeptical of the intentions behind that ballot measure. "We're leery about supporting any new constitutional amendment that would be a poison pill initiative," AIF chief executive Barney Bishop said. Hometown Democracy's Burnaman has a much harsher assessment. httn://www.sotimes.com/2007/07/l 7/news ofi'State/Businesses cringe at .shtml 7/17/2007 Page 3 of3 "It's a Trojan horse, designed to confuse our prospective signers of our amendment into signing theirs," he said.
