(Agenda Item #4 - New Business) Consider the Development Proposals 

for Fisher.man's Wharf from Smyth Builders Inc. and from 

DCGG/Culpepper & Terpening. RFP #6108 

Mr. Jon Ward, FPRA Director, said this special meeting of the FPRA 

is called for one purpose only. They are going to consider RFP 

#6108, which was issued for proposals for development of the 

Fisherman's Wharf project, that is owned by this Agency. Today 

they have two proposals. He has scheduled two 30-minute proposals 

by each of the proposers; and at the end of that, the Board will 

consider their proposals. He has given them 20 minutes each to 

make a presentation and the Board will have 10 minutes to do Q&A 

after each presentation. Then it will be back to the Board for 

consideration and comments. 

Mr. Harold H. Smyth, Smyth Builders Inc., said he has been a 

General Contractor in the Fort Pierce area for nearly 30 years. He 

has built restaurants, hotels, airplane hangers, and some of the 

largest distribution centers in the county. He has also renovated 

historic and significant buildings here in Fort Pierce, probably 

more than anyone here in the City of Fort Pierce. One of the 

projects he has done includes 2nd Street Station in an area of 

downtown Fort Pierce that was blighted. They transformed that 

area. Also renovated the home of Mr. Jon Ward, which was featured 

in Better Homes & Gardens Magazine. He wants them to understand he 

has been doing this a long time. The list of proj ects such as 

homes built on the beach in Fort Pierce and around the County goes 

on and on - 30 years of doing contracting work and building dreams 

right here in Fort Pierce. He is proud and honored to be working 

with Mr. David Thornton of Southeast Development and Mr. Chris King 

of CK Marine. Unfortunately, because of the date and time of this 

meeting, a lot of people are out of town right now. Some o f their 

team are in other areas and cannot make it today. He also has 

2

Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency July 2, 2012 

Collette Rhodes, the Contract Specialist for CK Marine and 

Southeast Development. These men have completed millions of 

dollars of waterfront construction, including the Manatee Pocket 

dredging and cleanup, Sebastian waterfront, Okeechobee, and the 

Ci ty of Fort Pierce. Combined they have experience and the 

wherewithal to make this project happen. From the waterside to the 

horizontal to the vertical, they cover it all. In their Agenda 

packet is their vision, the vision they purchased the property for 

in the very first place. This is their vision also, they simply 

put it on paper for them to be able to see it. When they purchased 

this property, the intention was to assemble the properties and 

allow a developer to come in and develop that area. What they see 

is the dream they all share, the big picture. They have never 

faltered from this vision. It is a good idea, they should simply 

just make it happen. The RFP may well be the catalyst to ignite 

the process. It is not the final destination, it is just a way to 

get the process started. They have already begun and have been 

doing what the Board is asking for. He was one of the first people 

to help open a business. Larry Lee, Joey Miller, Debbie Denning, 

and himself were the first to hold an event. They have been 

pioneers and dreamers, dreaming about how this area can be, not how 

it is right now. He is currently working with Mr. Dean King, 

cleaning up Fisherman's Wharf, preparing to plant trees, all in 

anticipation of being a good neighbor. Mr. Chris King and Mr. 

Thornton currently hold the lease on the end property and the 

berth. They have been moving towards a working waterfront, j ust 

exactly what has been requested. They are already doing it. They 

have the cooperation and support of surrounding property owners. 

The plan they developed is a good plan, a lot of thought goes into 

it. They have the means and the ability to make ita reality. 

This plan was put together by businesspeople, architects, land 

planners, and residents. Another person who helped to put this 

together is Mr. John Foster. All they need to make this a reality 

is the cooperation of the City. He knows the County will 

cooperate. Their team can and will do the work, and initiate the 

permitting required to make this successful. The project has to be 

a public/private partnership, it's the only way it can work. That 

is why they left a 25-foot sidewalk for public access. The 

sidewalk can accommodate vendors and events, and allow the City 

permanent access to the waterfront. If they want to just 

concentrate on the RFP, they are already working in that direction 

and will simply continue by working with existing tenants, but 

planning for surrounding property development, continuing the 

existing commercial fishing, and embracing their maritime heritage 

by putting up murals, a maritime museum and school. They have 

3


property acquisition intentions in place. They have continued 

public access with the 25-foot sidewalk, floating docks, and an 

open air theater. Waterfront businesses such as water taxi 

services will operate here, connecting all of the Fort Pierce 

waterfront venues. They will have two restaurant - one 4,000 and 

one 6,000 square feet. They will continue using the boat ramp. 

That boat ramp generates excessive amounts of traffic. There are 

people that come from allover the state and use that little boat 

ramp right there. Most importantly, hospitality. The hotel and 

theater express and show off their unique lifestyle, a lifestyle 

they need to share with the world. Permanent jobs and interns, 

educating their citizens in hotel and motel careers that are one of 

the best career choices a person can make. A degree in hotel and 

motel management can take one around the world. Ecologically 

friendly, they accomplish that by using creative design along with 

lots of grass and landscaping. Tourist destination, bringing 

people by water and land, having vendors and events, can make this 

a true tourist destination. Anybody that has ever been to the 

Sailfish Marina in West Palm Beach or The Landing in Jacksonville, 

in their packet is a picture of The Landing in Jacksonville and it 

is a tourist destination that people come from allover to visit. 

Outright purchase, this has to begin as a public/private joint 

venture. This will be a lease with an option to purchase. The 

purchase price will be set by an appraisal done by an independent 

appraiser and the lease will be promulgated by the permitting 

process. Economic sufficiency, the only way for this project to be 

a success and have sustainability is to build it large enough to 

absorb the overhead and pay the note. Building a motel, marina, 

and theater is the key to making this vision a reality. It is not 

easy, but with the cooperation of the City they can make this 

happen. They want the City to work with them. They are open to 

work with everyone. They envision this as a communitywide effort 

and they want to work with the people. All of them are licensed 

and residents and have grown up right here in Fort Pierce. It is 

all about making Fort Pierce a destination they can be proud of. 

It starts right now with them today. He will be glad to answer 

questions. He didn't give a lot of details, he thinks they can see 

the details in between. I f they want details, he knows this 

property better than anyone in the area, he has worked with this 

property for years. 

Commissioner Sessions said in their packet was a memorandum from 

the Financial Administrator (dated June 19, 2012). He wanted to 

point out some things and give Mr. Smyth an opportunity to respond. 

It contrasts the two teams their strengths and 

4


obstacles/weakness. A few of the things pointed out as far as 

weaknesses are concerned is a weak business plan, focus too broad 

with no phases, a much higher budget, proposal includes 

participation with the County and the County's land, no timeline, 

no financial plan, no letter of credit, and no indication of the 

permitting and licensing issues to be overcome. Does he want to 

address those? 

Mr. Smyth said yes. One of the reasons he partnered with the 

people he did is because they have the wherewithal and the 

financing to do pretty much whatever the project needs. Plus when 

they own a company the size of what they are ... In fact, he would 

disagree with everything he just said. Because part of what they 

are trying to do is show the big picture, then concentrate on the 

RFP. Concentrating strictly on the RFP, they have addressed every 

single issue. The wherewithal to be able to carry out the 

functions and the work lies in the fact that they submitted letters 

of recommendation from some of the largest companies in the 

country. Plus, this company he has partnered with has done some of 

the biggest work in the City of Fort Pierce, worth millions of 

dollars. So ee would kind of question seriously what this is all 

about. When they look at the big picture of this proj ect and 

understand the complexities of it ... For example, the two pieces 

of property that are currently owned by the County were purchased 

wi th Florida Inland Navigation District funds. They can't even 

hold an event on those two properties. Because of that FIND 

restriction, the County will not let them have an event. But if 

they negotiated with the County and traded those two pieces of 

property for another piece of property, opening the door to be able 

to hold events and park cars and do other things on those 

properties ... Those three properties are holding back this entire 

area because they were purchased with FIND funds, it doesn't give 

them the leeway. But from talking with the County, he knows they 

are willing and open to do something with those properties. He 

also knows, if they do not stay a participant in this project, that 

the permitting process will take the private sector years upon 

years to get the permitting done. He is talking about submerged 

land lease, dredging, cleaning, docks, everything it takes. The 

company that he has partnered with has an outstanding reputation 

for being able to complete those proj ects. They have in-house 

engineers and representatives at the DEP that can make the project 

work. No one else in this whole region has the ability to do what 

they c a n do vertically, horizontally, and on the waterfront.

Commissioner Sessions said when they talk about property owned by 

the City in Fort Pierce, that is one thing. But property that is 

waterfront, that is very important to him, it's a priority, it is 

one of their jewels and they don't have many of those. At any 

rate, money talks. One of the things that was pointed out in this 

memorandum was no financial plan and no letter of credit, unlike 

what the other team has. Can he address that? 

Mr. Smyth said the financial plan is in what they decide to do. 

For example, if they go in there with a business plan to just 

utilize the existing building that is there and try to bring a few 

businesses in that maybe will come up to about $30,000 a year, they 

can't even pay the interest on $5.5 million. But if they build a 

hotel, if they build this project big enough, they can generate 

$350,000 per month. He thinks it is about $1.65 million a year 

they can generate, which will not only pay the staff and the 

overhead, it will also pay some of the principal. If they want to 

get down to the real figures of everything, he would be delighted 

to sit down with them. As far as a letter of credit, he is a 

little bit taken aback because the fact is that they have already 

bonded this company a few times. The dredging of the Manatee 

Pocket was a multi-million dollar operation. There is absolutely 

no question that these two companies have the wherewithal, the 

equipment, and the financial ability to do whatever they want to 

do. Just one dredging project has been worth millions of dollars. 

He did not feel that he had to put up a financial line of credit 

when the company has already shown what they are capable of doing. 

He does not know how much the contract for the City Marina was, but 

he knows it was in the millions of dollars. What happens with 

these companies is, they have to put that money up, they don't get 

paid up front, they get paid on the backside. So this company 

consistently has to put up $4 million to $7 million to get a 

project done. He is sure he could come up with a line of credit 

that would probably be pretty substantial if that is what they 

really needed to have. But he assumed they would understand that 

a company of this size that has already done work for the City 

would not have to go through those steps. 

Mr. James P. "Butch" Terpening, Culpepper & Terpening, Inc., said 

he is proud to be here today to represent a group of local business 

people. He has almost 100 years of working with these individuals. 

This is something close to his heart. At the end of the day, they 

intend to put the fish back into Fisherman's Wharf. This 

presentation is very specific on a business plan, a business goal, 

to conserve the community and maintain their heritage. He would 

6


like to introduce the team - Glenda Macon (Inlet Fisheries Inc.), 

Brian Paul (Pel ican Seafoo d Company), and Michael Abinanti (DCGG 

LLC). His team from the professional side consists of himself and 

his firm, Tom Lucido & Associates, the landscape architect, 

Realtime Property Development is their contractor, Yates & 

Associates is public relations, and Speedy Fee is the proj ect 

attorney. Their team has well over 200 years of working together 

and over the course of time have had many successful projects on 

the Treasure Coast. First he wants to start with a little history. 

The fishing indust ry started in the early 1900's. As they can see 

from the old postcard, there was actually observers then watching 

the Spanish mackerel being unloaded, this was in 1908. In the 

1920's they saw an expansion of the fleet, an expansion of the 

port. Continued development in the 1930's - shrimping facilities. 

The marina and docking and warehousing carne in the 1940' s. The 

1950's had a reemerging of the shrimping industry. In the 1960's, 

it took on more of a recreational and entertainment that maintained 

through the 1970's and 1980's. The real question is, where are 

they going to be? The Commission wisely a few years ago obtained 

the property with the hope of redevelopment. His team's mission is 

sustainability, economy, and heritage - they want to preserve the 

fishing heritage that has been a part of Fort Pierce for well over 

100 years and they want to share this legacy with their future 

generations. Their vision is to develop Fisherman's Wharf as a 

blend of commercial, retail, hospitality, entertainment, 

ecotourism, public use, and both business retention and expansion. 

How are they going to achieve that? Their concept plan is a micropart 

of the overall development plans that the City has envisioned. 

They have mUltiple uses the waterfront, the public access, 

renovations to the existing buildings, fishing unloading areas, and 

future development. They have developed a conceptual floor plan 

based on multiple uses - a retail area for Pelican Seafood, a fish 

processing facility that will be open to the public with Inlet 

Fisheries, and Moby's Place for indoor/outdoor dining. Going to 

the site plan, a heritage monument here and public art in the 

square, an elevated deck and viewing platform to oversee the 

fishing, and an area to allow pedestrians to watch the activities 

as they unload the boats. What is really unique, there is not a 

Fisherman's Wharf on the east coast of the United States. They 

have actually registered the domain. They think this can be very 

interacti ve and hospitable. And in the future, anywhere from a 

restaurant to a hotel to a bed and breakfast - that is going to be 

more as the economy starts to rebound. They have already had 

several contacts from potential businesses in what they call Pha se 

4. The immediate needs are for the relocation of Inlet Fisheri es. 

7


That will be a key to the project in providing activities for the 

public to witness. They will have a fresh seafood market, about 

3,000 square feet of outdoor dining, 2,000 square feet of indoor 

dining, public waterfront, boat slips, and historical markers. 

What is happening right now in their fishing industry? There is 

one working fisherman right now in the City and the County - Inlet 

Fisheries - which was actually one of the top ten fisheries in the 

State. If they don't provide an opportunity to retain these jobs 

and expand these jobs, the community is going to lose this, 100 

years of their heritage. 

(Commissioner Alexander arrived at the meeting at 5:30 p.m.) 

Mr. Terpening said full time employment right now, Inlet Fisheries 

has about 16 employees. Included with that is the boats that 

service the industry. There is in total about 105 boats and about 

170 employees. Pelican Seafood is estimated at 8, Moby's 

Restaurant at 20, for a total of about 215 FTE's. These are real 

FTE's, they exist today. The economic impact today, the direct 

payroll of the businesses he just outlined, is about $6.8 million 

and derive an annual revenue of $9.5 million, with a total direct 

financial impact to Fort Pierce of about $16.5 million. Using the 

industry standard and ratios of direct impact to indirect impact 

and how that money goes around with bait, tackle, repairs, and all 

the supporting industries, that has an economic impact to Fort 

Pierce of about $115 million. They will lose these businesses if 

they don't provide a place. The phasing of the project, first is 

to relocate Inlet Fisheries. They have broken it up into the 

timing and into the permitting. Hopefully within 45 days of lease 

execution and execution of the agreements, they will have Inlet 

Fisheries relocated, over the next three months they will do the 

interior improvements, and within six months, have the restaurant 

open. Phase 2, their team has an extreme amount of experience in 

permitting in the marine industry. They feel it will take about 9 

to 12 months with about 3 months of construction that is 

dredging. Currently the City does not have a maintenance dredging 

permit from the State in this area. It needs dredging no matter 

who locates there, even for the uses it is being used for now. It 

needs a rebuilding of the boardwalks and the dockage. They have 

provided a tentative construction schedule, which includes a site 

plan development phase and also the a cquisition phase. The key to 

the project in their proposal is a property switch. That is, the 

properties on the south side of Cit rus Avenue along Indian River 

Drive, roughly about 2 acres in size, they are proposing to swap t o 

the City for the property along Fisherman's Wharf, which is about 

8


1.9 acres. This property is abutting some existing City property 

and in total would give the City about 2.4 acres on the waterfront. 

Several questions came up about the value of the swap and he would 

like to address that. They are all aware of the real estate boom 

that hit and then fell. But if they go back historically, the 

Fisherman's Wharf property was probably worth about 20 % more than 

this parcel they are proposing to trade. They can go back through 

the tax records. 

Commissioner Sessions asked do they hold a warranty deed for that 

property? 

Mr. Terpening said yes, they do. He doesn't, he just represents 

them. Historically, in 2007 the FPRA acquired the property and it 

goes on the tax rolls at a large differential. For everybody that 

purchased property in that period of time, that value isn't there 

today. But even taking the value in 2003 and 2004, it was about 

20 % or 25% greater than the swap property. Today if they use what 

they feel is in inflated value - but later hopefully will get the 

opportuni ty to be appraised - the cost/benefi t to the City is 

almost 30 to 1. That is, the City is going to get a direct 

financial benefit of $115 million for that differential of $3.5 

million. In anybody's book, that is a good rate of return. They 

want to provide Fort Pierce with the Fisherman's Wharf Project that 

it deserves - they want to put the fish back into Fisherman's 

Wharf. They really appreciate the opportunity today to present 

their credentials and are here to answer any specific questions the 

Commissioners may have. 

Commissioner Sessions said in the proposal, for the most part Inlet 

Fisheries dictates the concept in light of the business that they 

are doing. One of the things that stands out in his mind with this 

proposal versus the other team is the public access to the property 

itself. It appears, based on this concept, to be somewhat limited. 

He knows they proposed restaurants and certain things. Could he 

address that? 

Mr. Terpening said this is all public access around here. (Mr. 

Terpening displayed a drawing.) There is public access here in 

what they call the ecotourism or heritage area. Obviously the 

restaurants and those facilities will be public. This area here, 

because of the commercial operation, would not have public access. 

They would have public access this way with safety measures when 

the boats are being unloaded, to guide the pedestrians in a safe 

area. 

9


Commissioner Perona asked could he talk about the commercial access 

to Inlet Fisheries? He is talking about trucks, not boats. 

Mr. Terpening said they load in this direction. 

Commissioner Perona said so public access would probably depend on 

the parking lot and/or the parking lot that already exists for t he 

boat ramp. And there would be an access from there all the way 

around? 

Mr. Terpening said yes. They would also have a viewing area here. 

This is the fish house, it is an open structure. But according to 

health codes, when they unload the fish, it has to be in a covered 

structure. This area of parking and that area will be an overview 

to that, a little closer to the activities. In their presentation 

to Staff, the Planning Director had an interesting comment about 

all the parking on the waterfront, that it was not a good use. He 

agreed and asked would they let them push it somewhere and get a 

better use of the public waterfront? That was kind of their plan. 

Chairman Benton said for the record, he spoke to Inlet Fisheries 

several times in the last few months about their ideas here, also 

Pelican Seafood. He thinks this is a good opportunity for the 

City. In the early 1970's, he worked on commercial mackerel boats 

behind the old Simonsen's for Hutchinson, unloading boats until the 

wee hours of the mornings, sometimes all night long. They sold 

fish on the side to the public that was there watching, they were 

intrigued by that. He just got back from Seat tIe. One of the 

biggest draws in Seattle is their fresh fish market, Pike's Place 

Fish Market, and they don't even have the fresh fish coming in by 

boat, it is just there on ice and they put on an act by throwing 

the fish. It literally draws hundreds of people on the weekends 

and people start spending lots of money. He thinks they have a 

great opportunity here for a piece of property that has been 

sitting there since the early 1980' s, literally looking for a 

future. This is a great opportunity for the City. 

Mr. Terpening said one of the things in their business plan is 

their website. When the boats are coming in, they can send out an 

immediate alert to their patrons and let them know there will be 

fresh mackerel or swordfish coming in. Also, the menus and the 

networking within the community. That is their vision. Someone 

will know when the fish are coming in and they can go have a good 

lunc h or dinner, what's out there, what's special. 

10


Commissioner Alexander asked are they going to encompass all the 

boat ramps that the City Marina has presently now? Is that going 

to be included in Fisherman's Wharf - the Black Pearl? 

Chairman Benton said no, that's not Fisherman's Wharf. 

Commissioner Alexander asked those boat docks? 

Chairman Benton said that belongs to the Fort Pierce Redevelopment 

Agency. 

Commissioner Alexander asked what did they pay for this? 

Mr. Ward said they paid close to $5 million for that. 

Commissioner Alexander asked where are they getting these different 

numbers from? Did he see $3.5 million? 

Mr. Terpening said that is the difference. If they went on the 

Property Appraiser's website today, they would see a $3.5 million 

difference between the two properties. The value of $115 million 

would give the City about a 30 to 1 return. 

Commissioner Alexander asked going back to the swap property, what 

is the value of that right now? 

Mr. Terpening said right now it is about $1.9 million. 

Mr. Ward said that is what they are estimating their property is 

worth versus... Mr. Terpening is saying there is a $3 million 

spread and then what he is trying to illustrate is there is a 

benefit that exceeds the $3 million spread. 

Commissioner Alexander said that's not replacing the public's 

money. 

Mr. Ward said no, it is not hard dollars, it is a public benefit. 

Commissioner Becht said they have come up with some really c reative 

ideas for developing Fisherman's Wharf. Going back to the slide 

showing the swap property, in his conversation with this particular 

property owner has been - why would they swap this property on 

Citrus Avenue for Fisherman's Wharf? The assumption is, 

Fisherman's Wharf will develop first. This team has taken some 

ideas t hat were already there - because they had talked to Inlet 

11


Fisheries about leasing them the property but taken that 

obviously much further along the road and with a better idea. What 

idea do they have for this swap property? Because it looks like 

the FPRA would get stuck with property that is years out from 

development because Fisherman's Wharf is going to get developed 

first. Somewhere in the presentation package he saw $125,000 worth 

of soft costs, which he assumes is attorneys and design folks. He 

would like to pick their brain on what ideas do they have for the 

FPRA to develop this property, if in fact it is the will of the 

FPRA Board to enter into a swap? What can the FPRA do with it to 

accelerate the development potential so it is not 20 years down the 

road? 

Mr. Terpening said there is a venue of uses. Look at the State's 

Attorney's office, the Supervisor of Elections - there is a lot of 

demand for office space. Certainly public buildings on the west 

side has benefit along with some marine activities and docking on 

the waterfront. Sailing has always been part of their heritage. 

In Martin County, there are environmental education programs in the 

schools. People have to camp out. They have a good waterfront 

activity that can be used for educational programs. One thought he 

had is, the City needs a recipient site for historical structures. 

Most of their historical structures are on the waterfront. This 

could be a good area - take these homes, re-do them. Give homes 

that are in harm's way a place to have a berth. It is a gateway to 

the City along Indian River Drive. They can control that gateway 

into the City. He thinks that has an intrinsic value there. 

Commissioner Becht said he doesn't think this is all the property 

Mr. Terpening's client owns down here on Indian River Drive. 

Doesn't he own parcels further south? 

Mr. Terpening said yes, he does. 

Commissioner Becht asked why have those not been thrown into the 

package? They are talking about the values now at roughly 1 to 4, 

why would he have not included the other properties to equalize the 

difference in value? 

Mr. Terpening said they feel the values are almost equal. He 

thinks the appraisals are going to come back. The $5 million the 

FPRA paid a few years ago, nobody right now can get what they paid 

for rea l estat e in 2006 and 2007. 

12


Commissioner Alexander said don't say that, because they are 

talking about waterfront properties and development of ports. Have 

they spoken to the residents on Indian River Drive to find out how 

they feel about the City doing anything there, especially a 

gateway? Have they have that conversation with those individuals? 

Mr. Terpening said no. They felt it would be inappropriate for 

them to solicit on the City's behalf of what the public wanted to 

do. 

Commissioner Alexander asked what they wouldn't allow the owner to 

do? 

Mr. Terpening said not in recent years, no. 

Commissioner Alexander asked so the owner has tried nothing to 

develop that property on Indian River Drive? 

Mr. Terpening said prior to the crash, there was contracts for sale 

with a development. Obviously with the economic turn, that didn't 

go through. 

Commissioner Perona said he has spoken to Inlet Fisheries and to 

Mr. Abinanti several times, differently. Now he is looking at 

three entities out there - one has something to swap, two have 

businesses they want to build out, and one wants to develop the 

whole property. He is trying to figure out - is this one entity 

they are talking to? He knows it is one proposal. But how do they 

tie everybody together in this proposal? 

Mr. Terpening said they have formed a business relationship coming 

in to redevelop this area. This is about $2 million, looking at 

the cost of redevelopment in phases, and that is just the first 

three phases. The fourth phase will probably be even higher than 

that. But they have a business program as an entity that they will 

all share. 

Commissioner Perona said the FPRA is ready to do business with 

someone, he just doesn't know who that someone is. 

Mr. Terpening said the managing partner is DCGG. 

Commissioner Persona asked that managing partner can speak and 

obligate its partners and associates? This is a very important 

piece of property. The FPRA made that purchase a long time ago 

13


with the anticipation that it would lead to great things. They are 

all a little careful about how they are going to develop this. 

They are trying to be real sure that this is exactly what they 

wanted to accomplish and that it meets all the issues they have. 

They need to know who they are dealing with. They need to make 

sure, if they make a move, that it is going to be one that works 

out in the long run, that it just doesn't peter out because of 

misunderstands or other issues that can happen. 

Mr. ~chae1 Abinanti, DCGG LLC, said they did not specifically in 

their proposal address the business structure. They felt the first 

step was consideration by this Board. If they get to the next 

step, sitting down with Staff and developing performance standards. 

Those specific performance standards would be built into any 

agreement, as well as the disclosures of the relationships and the 

assurances. They provided letters of credit. They have 60-some 

years worth of business experience that is committed to this 

project. Those details would be presented if they are fortunate 

enough to proceed forward with the project, so the Board would know 

their business plan, their performance plan, and they can hold the 

property owner accountable. 

Chairman Benton said they will be asking Staff to sit down with one 

party or the other to try to come up with a Developers Agreement so 

they would know in what time frame what improvements would be put 

in. But if it is a concern of this Board that the swap of the 

properties is not as close as it should be, would they be willing 

to throw in another parcel down there? He wants this to happen, he 

thinks it is a win/win for the community and will keep people 

working. His concern is, there was a why there was an amendment on 

the ballot a few years ago about working waterfronts - it was to 

keep the commercial fishing industry alive in parts of Florida and 

also the boating business, because residential development was 

literally chasing that type of industry out of South Florida. Here 

is an opportunity to keep their heritage. Also, it fits into what 

they are doing on the waterfront. From the Farmer's Market, the 

draw will continue all the way to the Port area. He thinks they 

could draw literally hundreds of people every weekend, if not 

thousands. 

Mr. Ward said they will pull this back to the Board. They have 

gi ven both sides 30 minutes. He would like for them to foc us. 

However they would like to move forward is appropriate.

Chairman Benton said he would like to find out if there is a 

consensus from the Board, which proposal they would prefer, in 

order to entertain taking it to the next step. Is there any 

interest from this Board to move forward with either project? He 

is looking for direction. They have been talking about this for 

several months. A lot of effort has been put into it at least by 

one group and he thinks this Board led them to believe they were 

looking in that direction. 

Mr. Ward said the purpose of this Special Meeting today is, Staff 

pulled together an Evaluation Committee a few weeks ago consisting 

of some Department Directors, the City Engineer, the Planning 

Director, several members of Planning Staff, the Marina Manager, 

and himself. They had the same presentations the Board received 

today. He has written the Board a memorandum on this (dated June 

22, 2012) which i l lustrated Staff's position and recommendation. 

Staff is here to discuss their recommendation. 

Chairman Benton said they will start there. 

recommendation? 

What is Staff's 

Mr. Ward said there are a couple of comments he made in the Staff 

recommendation he is happy to review with them. The first 

statement on the Smyth proposal is: "If we thought it could 

actually be produced by the proposer, there is no question that we 

would support the Smyth concept, with some modifications. II If they 

were confident today that the Smyth Builders proposal was fully 

funded, on the ground, ready to go in a defined time frame, and 

they could put ink to paper with all the benefits proposed, if they 

thought Smyth Builders had the ability to bring all the partners 

in, if they thought they had the ability to get the County to 

commit to the use of its public lands - if all of those things were 

to come to fruition, obviously they would rather have a destination 

hotel, a large restaurant, and all of the things described in that. 

It is a visionary proposal. It takes a very holistic view of the 

area; instead of merely Fisherman's Wharf, it really looks at that 

entire part of town. So from a planning standpoint, certainly 

their planners looked at this and thought it was a great proposal. 

However, the question is whether or not it is a proposal or a 

conceptual design? Unfortunately, the Evaluation Committee agreed 

that the Smyth proposal was no t in fact a proposal, but in fact a 

concept. It is a wonderful dream. But there was no evidence shown 

to them, they didn't see anything in writing that said where the 

money is coming from, who the partners are, how they are going to 

do it, and the t i me they wou l d get s t arted. There was nothing 

15


there except a concept for the project. It is a wonderful dream, 

but there was no evidence whatsoever contained in the response to 

the RFP that indicated the financial wherewithal to accomplish any 

portion of the development. Further, the FPRA does not own or 

control 90% of the property that the Smyth proposal discusses. 

That alone would render it non-responsive. If they had six 

responses to this RFP that all came in which were responsive and 

deal t specifically with the property described in the RFP, the 

Smyth proposal would have been non-responsive because it goes far 

afield, it deals with a lot of stuff the FPRA does not control. 

The FPRA Board cannot sit there and say that is what the County 

wants to do with its property because they don't control that. But 

they do control Fisherman's Wharf and that is what they came to 

talk about today. Fabulous dream, but more of a concept. In 

response to a Committee question, Mr. Smyth responded that his 

proposal to the FPRA is to take out a lease on the property with an 

option to purchase it at some undefined point in the future and to 

pay the debt service on the bonds in the interim period. That is 

Mr. Smyth's proposal in a nutshell - the FPRA owns this piece of 

property and they are willing to pay the note on it while they 

develop their dream. The FPRA would retain a 25-foot strip of the 

waterfront for public access. He is assuming that the 25-foot 

strip is probably going to be deducted from the square foot lease 

payment. But no financial information was provided that would 

confirm that group's ability to meet the payments. This proposal 

was verbal and not contained in the RFP response. So there was a 

good conversation and staff liked the proposal; but at the end of 

the day, he doesn't have anything he could hang his hat on. 

Mr. Ward said the Evaluation Committee, on the DCGG proposal, 

agreed that the plan appears workable with some tweaking, but it 

does not maximize the site in its earliest phases. They think 

there is more to be done on the site. That Phase 4 area they 

understand is nice and it is the future; but they wish something 

were happening quicker there. They would prefer a program that 

constructed all new facilities as opposed to retrofitting existing 

buildings, and one that immediately took advantage of the full 

si te; but they appreciate the current economic conditions and 

understand the phased approach. They like the new restaurant and 

the observation platform and the reduction of the sea of asphalt 

currently at the site. The proposal to the FPRA is that DCGG will 

swap their land free and clear at the Citrus Overpass, 

approximately 2 acres, for the FPRA's lots on Fisherman's Wharf, 

that they wi 11 sign a Development Agreement that implements a 

further $2 mi llion i nvestment at that site, and improvements to the 

1 6


property in fairly rapid order. Although the swap is not viewed by 

the Evaluation Committee as a quid pro quo, an equal swap, the 

substantial and verifiable additional investment in the property, 

the returning of the improved property to the tax rolls, the 

development of attractive additional assets that underpin 

hospitality and tourism, and the maintenance of over 100 existing 

jobs and the creation of a number of new jobs in a fairly short 

time frame, all represent very significant public benefits to the 

residents of the City. That seems to justify the exchange and it 

accomplishes the mission of this Agency, both from a standpoint of 

addressing the formerly blighted marina that was there before and 

their mission for economic development and job creation. 

Commissioner Sessions said it appears, based on the Committee's 

recommendation, the proposal that is b e ing made by Smyth Bu i lders 

is probably what the FPRA expected at least from its perspective in 

terms of the vision; however, they d on't feel they have the 

financial wherewithal. 

Mr. Ward said it is not whether they think that; it is, they didn't 

show it to them. They may have it, but it wasn't illustrated in 

their proposal. 

Commissioner Sessions said one of the things that they have as far 

as assets are concerned are the properties they own that are 

adj acent to the waterway. Also, one of the things that this 

community lacks is a hotel with a flag that overlooks the Atlantic 

Ocean, the Indian River Lagoon. It is incumbent in his mind that 

if the private sector does not step in one day and satisfy what he 

believes the vision of the people for this City is, to have a hotel 

in the downtown area adjacent to the waterfront, that it will never 

happen. With the land swap, can they even accomplish that and 

build a hotel, given the environmental issues, the permitting, the 

zoning, and so on. If he is going to give up something that he 

knows has the potential for something else, can it happen with the 

land swap they are proposing? 

Mr. Ward said if the question is, can they build a hotel at either 

of these sites, the answer is yes, they can. But he would suggest 

that they have better sites than either of these to build a hotel 

and they are currently trying to prepare one - the former King 

Power Plant site. That is their number one site. Hospi tali ty 

people, if they only look at the numbers for Fort Pierce - the 

demographics - if they only look at the hard black and white facts 

on a piece of paper, they will never corne here. It is going to 

17


take somebody that gets what is special about Fort Pierce. It is 

going to take a visionary hotelier that understands that they can 

create a market; not one that wants to corne find a market and the 

low hanging fruit so they can pick it easily. It is going to take 

somebody with a vision that understands the merits of the area. 

That is when they will get a superior property and they will get it 

downtown and it will be fabulous - it will make Fort Pierce a 

destination. But it is not going to happen by the bean counters 

that just look at the numbers. He started his career working for 

Holiday Inns of America, he was an interior designer with them 

starting in the 1960's. He understands the hotel business. It is 

a numbers business. The guys that only do that hard and fast 

numbers thing are not going to be corning here, because they look at 

those numbers and the numbers just don't work. He is saying this 

with some degree of certainty because he had lunch as recently as 

Friday with a hotel developer looking at their property right now 

and this is how they talked to him. He is telling the Board, this 

is the message - they are corning, they will corne, but it is going 

to be someone like the gentleman that built the Renaissance. He 

saw the merit of having housing in downtown Fort Pierce and the 

meri t of creating an 18 hour city, and he built that. That 

customer wasn't there when he built it, but he built it for the 

future. It is going to take someone with that kind of vision to 

build this hotel. 

Commissioner Sessions asked when they compare the King Power Plant 

property versus this property that is being offered for a swap, 

there is no comparison in the beauty where those properties are 

located in terms of the waterfront? He travels up and down that 

lagoon all the time. Maybe they see something he doesn't see. And 

the time frame of a lifetime, trying t o dig up all those chemicals 

in the King Power Plant area, it sounds like they are selling him 

a dream that maybe his daughter will see one day but he will never 

see. These are all the thing that corne to mind in terms of an even 

swap. They have talked about the assessed value . But unless Staff 

can tell him something different that this property may offer in 

terms of being able to use that for a hotel ... 

Chairman Benton said they are talking about what he considers a 

small parcel on the water. A lot of the discussion he has had with 

people that have showed interest for a hotel in Fort Pierc e, this 

has really brought discussion about what they are trying t o do 

there. If they bring in these businesses and it is successful on 

this small parcel, across the street there is literally a lot more 

property from Seaway Drive north where they could build . Most 

18


hotels go several stories high, six stories or more, with parking 

underneath. So basically they are still going to have the view of 

the waterfront, but they are going to have a view of a working 

waterfront. But first they have to have that draw to the 

waterfront. They are finally getting that attention with all the 

events that are taking place down there. But to him, they should 

keep the waterfront a little more open to the public and then put 

the hotel the next block back. The King Power Plant property is 

across the street, that way the public still has access to the 

waterfront and the hotel still has the view. At Fisherman's Wharf, 

the County owns three parcels there. A lot of that property there 

is just waiting for redevelopment, even through the eastern side of 

Edgartown. There are several parcels next to the King Power Plant 

property all the way up to the corner almost. That could be a 

hotel overseeing the waterfront. Fisherman's Wharf is a small 

piece of the pie. But getting somebody in there working now, they 

want it to be successful, and it will really draw more attention to 

the waterfront. They are not changing the picture that Mr. Smyth 

and the Charrette has shown there, they are just taking a part of 

it and getting started is the way he sees it. 

Commissioner Perona said he too is a visionary, but this economy 

has made him a realist. He would like to see something happen 

there. He talked to Mr. Abinanti, Inlet Fisheries, Mr. Ward. But 

in the back of his mind is that responsibility as stewards of the 

public funds, to make sure they have done everything. He looks at 

this as a used car trade, trading one for another, and he is not 

feeling real good about it to tell the truth. He would like for it 

to work, he thinks it can work. But there are issues there he is 

uncomfortable with. First of all, he would like to know who he is 

dealing with, he would like to know that the business entity exists 

and they can deal directly with them. That is probably a function 

of the RFP, once they have confirmed that. And even after Mr. 

Abinanti spends $2 million in developing this, it really hasn't 

even hit the value of what the swap real ly is. He thinks they have 

a responsibility. He has to defend this decision regardless of 

what happens. He wasn't around when the FPRA purchased the 

property, but he is glad they have it. But his responsibility is 

to make sure that the public gets every bit of benefit out of that. 

If it is not in dollars, they are going to have to be able to put 

real numbers on how this is going to reflect back to this Board. 

So he is feeling very uncomfortable right now even supporti ng 

anything. I f he had to support one, it would be the second 

presentation with Mr. Abinanti's swap; but it needs a lot more wo rk 

19


and needs a lot of details filled in before he would feel 

comfortable passing that forward. 

Commissioner Becht said he will reveal that he has a conflict here 

and won't be able to vote. Mr. Schwerer has advised him that he 

can speak to the issue. His conflict is, he represents one of the 

participants in the second presentation, Pelican Seafood. He is a 

little bit more familiar with how the pieces come together; and if 

they are chosen, that will reveal itself through the discussions 

that would be on-going after that. The devil is in the details 

wi th this. There is a little more detail in the Terpening 

presentation. He thinks there is a unique opportunity here to 

jumpstart the development of that site with either of the 

presenters tonight. However they choose - he cannot vote - but if 

they choose the Terpening group, what he would ask them to do is 

advise Mr. Smyth and his group that if they can't work out the 

details with the Terpening group, then Mr. Smyth needs to be on 

stage ready to go at a moment's notice. And if they feel like he 

does that there is not as much detail in Mr. Smyth's presentation, 

that would give him a month or two to get more detail into his plan 

so that, if it doesn't work out with the Terpening group, Mr. Smyth 

can be there with the details staff was apparently looking for. 

But there really is a unique opportunity here. But for this RFP 

process, his expectations for something happening on this property 

was years in the future. It is this opportunity that allows them 

to jumpstart it. That is not going to be without a cost. So at 

some point they have to figure out what they are willing to do, 

what are they willing to pay, to jumpstart it. That needs to be 

worked out. In his opinion, it is worth having the conversation. 

In his opinion, it is worth paying something to jumpstart 

development at that location. 

Chairman Benton said today what they are looking for is to ask 

Staff to sit down with one party or the other to start with, then 

come back with more defined details. If this Board felt that maybe 

there needed to be more land added to the swap, maybe that could be 

the case. What he is trying to do is see that one of these 

happens, because they really need to get something started down 

there, plus there is a lot of jobs leaving the area right now. 

Ever since they had to move out of their home over there on North 

Beach Causeway, a lot of the commercial fishermen have already left 

the area. He would hate to lose that business, because that has 

been something that has been around l onger than citrus. 

20


Commissioner Sessions said he knows he posed that question, but he 

never heard a response to adding some more land to make it a more 

even swap. He would like to hear a response while he has all the 

key players in front of him. Would the representative feel 

comfortable with addressing that? 

Commissioner Alexander said he feels uncomfortable not hearing both 

sides. But he does recall in the beginning when he spoke to the 

Blacks about Inlet Fisheries... Inlet Fisheries has been part of 

Fort Pierce and he has been part of Inlet Fisheries. If they ask 

him to decide today - decide on what? He didn't even get to hear 

the basic part, he came in on the tail end. 

Chairman Benton said this isn't the final proposal. In their 

packet they have basically the information that Mr. Terpening put 

forward. They are voicing their concerns. They are talking about 

the land swap. 

Mr. Terpening said as Commissioner Becht stated, this process was 

an RFP. They hear the proposals, rank them, start discussions; and 

if they can't work out the little devils in the details, then they 

go to number two. That is the process they work under. They don't 

know what the values of the property are, they are all guessing 

right now. This team wants to make an equitable trade, an 

equitable value to the community, maintain the jobs, grow jobs. He 

doesn't know if it is $1 million or $300,000 or $10 million or 

even. The appraisals will show this, these details. At that point 

with the enhancements, whatever those are, it will give the Board 

all the comfort level that it is worth moving forward and protects 

the public's interest. But right now, he doesn't know what the 

values are. It is premature. As these details get worked out, 

after they get the appraisals, they will be able to address it and 

make them comfortable. If not, they have the opportunity to move 

to the other presenter. But they want to make it equitable. 

Mr. Ward said with an abundance of caution, they are going a little 

far afield of the RFP because they are now discussing additional 

property which affects the net presentation they had. So in the 

interest of fairness, he wants to give three or four minutes to Mr. 

Smyth to indicate his financial wherewithal and make a statement 

about that. Does he want to do that? 

Mr. Smyth said no, not at this time. He thinks they need to have 

a little more insight and maybe even a workshop in this because 

there is so many details about their presentation that could have 

2 1


corne out. 

discussed. 

He thinks there is a lot of things that need to be 

Chairman Benton said so right now they are going to stick to the 

RFP. They will see which group they want Staff to sit down with to 

try to iron out some details. 

Commissioner Sessions said he sees they are caught in a situation. 

For the most part, he feels comfortable with whom he is ready to 

vote for. But out of respect for his colleague, Commissioner 

Alexander, who has not had an opportunity to review the entire 

presentation, and given the fact that they have one Commissioner 

that is going to have to abstain, really it lies upon three of them 

having the weight of this on their shoulders. Do they feel 

comfortable? This is something that is very important to him, as 

he is sure it is to all of them. 

Chairman Benton said if they were finalizing it, he would agree. 

But because they are looking to get the details, he thinks that is 

going to be the real presentation. Once the details corne back from 

Staff, then they can see if it is really going to work or not. To 

him, this is just getting out of the starting block here. They 

have talked about this property for years. They have led people on 

and nothing has happened for literally years. A lot of effort has 

been put forth in this. He met with several of these groups. This 

has been talked about for some time. He is ready for the details. 

Commissioner Alexander asked all they need t onight is just a 

consensus, not a vote? 

Chairman Benton said he doesn't know if t hey need a vote or a 

consensus. It is mainly to get to work with which party they feel 

is the appropriate one and start there. 

Mr. Ward said Staff has given them a written recommendation in 

their packet. The purpose today was to confirm, make absolutely 

clear, that this Board had all the answers to the questions they 

wanted to ask. They can either confirm Staff's recommendation or 

they can take another path. But Staff has a clear recommendation 

before them, it is unambiguous. 

Commissioner Perona said they had all the information given to them 

in advance. He feels bad for his colleague not hearing the first 

presentation. But the information was in the packet. He didn't 

22


hear anything different that was a change to any of the information 

he received. 

Motion was made by Commissioner Perona, seconded by Commissioner 

Sessions, to accept Staff's recommendation on RFP No. 6108. (Note: 

Recommendation in Memorandum to FPRA Board from Jon Ward dated June 

22, 2012: "It is the recommendation of the Evaluation Committee 

that a clear preference exists for the DCGG proposal and the 

Committee recommends that the FPRA Board enter into a Developer's 

Agreement with DCGG for the phased development of the property, 

which includes the property swap, containing a reversion clause if 

the requirements of the Developer's Agreement are not strictly met, 

including the timeframes and the investment of approximately $2 

million worth of specified improvements to the site, as well as the 

continued access of the public to the activities at the site.") 

Chairman Benton said the motion is to go with Staff's 

recommendation, which is sitting down with the Culpepper & 

Terpening group and coming back with a detailed proposal. 

Mr. Ward said they will work it into a Developer's Agreement. 

Commissioner Alexander asked inclusive of an additional land swap, 

they are going to have that discussion? 

Mr. Ward said yes. 

Commissioner Sessions said as far as it relates to Mr. Smyth's 

team, as far as the vision is concerned, he loves what they have, 

he is with them; but he just feels, based on the information that 

has been presented to them, that the other team, the financial 

wherewithal of that group, is a little stronger. He believes this 

can be a reality at least in his lifetime to see something come of 

that property. Don't give up, he hopes to see them again soon, 

because he does share the same vision they do. 

City Attorney Schwerer said a matter of technicality, perhaps it is 

just the way Staff's recommendation is phrased that he needs to 

comment. The recommendation is that the Board enter into a 

Developer's Agreement. Basically what he is taking Staff's 

recommendation and this Board's motion to mean is, they move to the 

second step, which is to sit down and obtain additional 

information, move to the process of negotiating with this group to 

determine if a Developer's Agreement could be prepared and 

presented that is mutually satisfactory to both sides; and then to 

23


move to the next step to bring something back to the Board as such 

later date as necessary. So it is not necessarily to enter into 

the Developer's Agreement, it is to move to the second phase. As 

long as that is clarified for the record, he is fine. 

Those voting in favor of the motion were: Commissioners Perona and 

Sessions, and Chairman Benton. Those opposed: Commissioner 

Alexander. Those abstaining: Commissioner Becht.
