An Administrative Law Judge of the Division of Administrative Hearings has entered an

Exhibit A.
BACKGROUND
This is a proceeding to determine whether the St. Lucie County (County) Comprehensive

with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act,
Ch. 163, Part Il, Florida Statutes (the “Act”).
FINAL ORDER NO. DCA 09-GM-122
On August 7, 2006, the Department filed a Petition for Formal Administrative Hearing
challenging County Ordinance No. 06-019. On August 9, 2007, Petitioners Edgar A. Brown, et
al., filed an Amended Petition for Formal Administrative Hearing. On August 13, 2007, the
Administrative Law Judge issued an Order Re-Aligning Parties in accordance with Section
163.3184(16)(f)1., Florida Statutes (2006).
On November 9, 2007, the Administrative Law Judge issued an Order of Consolidation to
consolidate Case No. 07-5061GM with Case Nos. 06-2834GM and 06-2845GM. On February 1,

Hearing in Case No. 07-5061GM to February 19, 2008, and Scheduling Telephonic Prehearing
Conference for February 8, 2008).
Petitioners Edgar A. Brown, et al., Department and the County entered into a Stipulated
Settlement Agreement which required the County to adopt certain remedial amendments. The
County adopted the remedial amendments and the Department published its Cumulative Notice
of Intent to find the Plan Amendment and the remedial amendment to be “in compliance” with
Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, and Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code.
The County subsequently filed a Status Report requesting the Division to close its file.
The Administrative Law Judge issued his Order Closing File (copy attached hereto). No
Exceptions to the Administrative Law Judge’s Order were filed.
