148set forth in Chapter 190, Florida Statutes .
156PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
158This case began on September 19, 2001, when Petitioner,
167Beverly Hills Development Corporation, requested the Florida
174Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission to adopt a rule to
184establish the Tuscany Community Development District. Th e
192proposed rule is attached to this Report as Appendix C. The
203matter was forwarded to the Division of Administrative
211Hearings on November 26, 2001, with a request that an
221Administrative Law Judge conduct a public hearing. By Notice
230of Hearing dated Decem ber 10, 2001, a public hearing was
241scheduled in Lecanto, Florida, on February 6, 2002. At the
251request of Petitioner, the public hearing was rescheduled to
260April 11, 2002, at the same location.
267Petitioner presented five witnesses and offered into
274evidenc e Petitioner's Exhibits 1 - 14, which were admitted
284without objection. The names and addresses of the witnesses

431FINDINGS OF FACT
434Based upon all of the evidence, the following findings of
444fact are determine d:
448A. Overview
4501. In this proceeding, Petitioner, Beverly Hills
457Development Corporation, seeks the adoption of a rule by the
467Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission (Commission) to
475establish a new community development district just northeast
483of Beverly Hills in Citrus County, Florida. The proposed name
493for the new District is the Tuscany Community Development
502District (the District).
5052. The sole purpose of this proceeding was to consider
515the establishment of the District as proposed by Petitio ner.
525B. Summary of Evidence and Testimony
5313. The evidence indicates that all of the statements
540contained in the Petition, as amended, are true and correct.
5504. Edwin M. Bulleit, a certified public accountant with
559Prager, McCarthy and Sealy, testified t hat he and his attorney
570met individually with the different county commissioners for
578Citrus County regarding the proposed District, and although
586the commissioners had questions, they had no objections to the
596adoption of the proposed District. Mr. Bulleit further
604testified that he felt he adequately answered the questions of
614the commissioners.
6165. Mr. Bulleit testified that a community development
624district is a mechanism to finance, plan, and manage public
634improvements. Witness Bulleit further testified that such a
642mechanism allows development to pay for itself.
6496. Mr. Bulleit stated that in his experience, 80 to 90
660percent of developments in Florida are pursuing community
668development - type financing. Mr. Bulleit further testified
676that community develo pments provide the opportunity for tax
685exempt financing, the benefits of which include (i) lower
694interest rates, which make the development more financially
702sound and lots within the community development district more
711affordable, and (ii) access to long - t erm, 30 - year debt
724financing, which means the financing matches the long - term
734nature of the assets being financed.
7407. Mr. Bulleit testified that a community development
748district may exercise certain powers subject to the regulatory
757jurisdiction and permi tting authority of all applicable
765governmental bodies, agencies, and special districts having
772authority with respect to the community development district.
7808. Mr. Dale R. Miller, Vice - President of Petitioner,
790testified that Petitioner is a Florida corpo ration with
799offices in Beverly Hills, Florida. A certified copy of a
809Certificate of Active Status for Petitioner issued by the
818Florida Department of State was received into evidence as
827Exhibit 1.
8299. Mr. Miller indicated that the land area to be served
840by the proposed District consists of two parcels of unimproved
850real property containing approximately 951.14 acres located in
858the existing Beverly Hills Development of Regional Impact
866(Beverly Hills Property) and 560 acres located outside the
875Beverly Hills D evelopment of Regional Impact (King Land Trust
885Property) for a total acreage of approximately 1,511.14 acres.
895Mr. Miller also testified that the Beverly Hills Property and
905King Land Trust Property are contiguous (320 acres are
914adjacent to the east of the Beverly Hills Property, while 240
925acres are adjacent to the south of the Beverly Hills
935Property). The conceptual development plan's allotted acreage
942for each land use was received into evidence as a part of
954Composite Exhibit 4. The proposed District is e ntirely within
964the territorial limits of Citrus County, Florida.
97110. Mr. Miller further testified that the metes and
980bounds legal description of the external boundaries of the
989proposed District is as described in and attached to the
999Petition as Exhibit B and Exhibit B - 1 and introduced into
1011evidence at the hearing as a part of Composite Exhibit 4.
1022Petitioner filed an amended Exhibit B to its Petition, which
1032contained an amended legal description of the boundaries for
1041the proposed District.
104411. Mr. Mil ler indicated that the owners of the land to
1056be included within the boundaries of the proposed District are
1066Petitioner and William H. Cauthen, as Trustee of the King Land
1077Trust, Inc. Mr. Miller further testified that the owners of
1087the land to be included within the proposed District have
1097consented to establishing the proposed District. The written
1105consents of the owners of the land to be included in the
1117proposed District were attached to the Petition as Exhibits C
1127and C - 1, and introduced into evidence at the hearing as a part
1141of Composite Exhibit 4.
114512. Mr. Miller testified that the five persons
1153designated to serve as the initial members of the Board of
1164Supervisors of the proposed District are: Ronald J. Collins,
1173Dale R. Miller, Taylor Collins, Paul Bu chanan, and John
1183O'Kelley. The initial supervisors will serve on the Board of
1193Supervisors until replaced by elected members as provided by
1202Section 190.006, Florida Statutes. All of the initial
1210supervisors are residents of the State of Florida and citizen s
1221of the United States of America.
122713. Mr. Miller also stated that the proposed timetables
1236and related estimates of cost to construct the proposed
1245District's services and facilities, based upon available data,
1253were attached to the Petition as Exhibit D an d received into
1265evidence as a part of Composite Exhibit 4.
127314. Mr. Miller testified that the Statement of Estimated
1282Regulatory Costs (SERC) to establish the proposed District
1290were attached to the Petition as Exhibit E and received into
1301evidence as a par t of Composite Exhibit 4.
131015. The future general description, location, and extent
1318of public and private uses of land proposed for the area
1329within the proposed District will be incorporated into the
1338adopted and approved Citrus County Comprehensive Plan. Also,
1346the requested land use and zoning classifications permit the
1355planned residential and commercial development to be located
1363within the proposed District. Finally, for those portions of
1372the proposed District situated within the Beverly Hills DRI,
1381the proposed public and private uses of land are compatible
1391with all development orders issued pursuant to the DRI
1400process.
140116. Mr. Miller testified that the proposed public and
1410private uses of the land at issue were compatible with all of
1422the development or ders that have been issued pursuant to the
1433development of regional impact process.
143817. Gail Easley, a professional land planner with The
1447Gail Easley Company, testified that she reviewed the Petition
1456and its exhibits in conjunction with the State Compreh ensive
1466Plan and found that the proposed District will not be
1476inconsistent with any applicable element or portion of the
1485State Comprehensive Plan.
148818. Ms. Easley also testified that she reviewed the
1497Citrus County Comprehensive Plan, including the goals,
1504ob jectives, and policies, as well as other materials, and
1514found that the proposed District will not be inconsistent with
1524any applicable element or portion of the Citrus County
1533Comprehensive Plan.
153519. Ms. Easley further stated that the area of land
1545within th e proposed District is of sufficient size, is
1555sufficiently compact, and is sufficiently contiguous to be
1563developed as one functional interrelated community.
156920. Witnesses Bulleit, Miller, and Easley each testified
1577that the proposed District is the best alternative available
1586for delivering community development services and facilities
1593to the area that will be served by the proposed District.
160421. Witnesses Bulleit and Miller testified that
1611establishing the District will promote development of the land
1620w ithin the District by providing for a more efficient use of
1632its resources.
163422. Mr. Miller testified that the community development
1642services and facilities of the District will be compatible
1651with the capacity and uses of existing and local regional
1661commu nity development services and facilities.
166723. Mr. Miller also stated that the District provides a
1677perpetual entity capable of making reasonable provisions for
1685the operation and maintenance of the District's services and
1694facilities.
169524. Mr. Miller fur ther testified that there is no real
1706property located within the external boundaries of the
1714District that is not going to be included within the District.
172525. Witnesses Bulleit and Easley testified that the area
1734that will be served by the proposed Distr ict is amenable to
1746separate special - district government.
175126. Louis G. Badami, Director of Utilities for Citrus
1760County, testified that the District would be compatible with
1769the capacity and uses of the existing local and regional water
1780and sewer faciliti es, including those of Citrus County and
1790Rolling Oaks Utilities, Inc. (Rolling Oaks). The latter
1798utility is privately owned and provides water and wastewater
1807service in an area adjacent to the District. Mr. Badami's
1817testimony focused only on the water an d wastewater service
1827territories of Citrus County and Rolling Oaks. More
1835specifically, he went on record as opposing a request to
1845expand the present service territory of Rolling Oaks. He
1854further testified that if the District was merely a funding
1864mechani sm to construct and install utilities and there was no
1875expansion of Rolling Oaks' service territory without following
1883applicable rules and regulations, he would recommend to Citrus
1892County that it not oppose the District.
189927. Robert A. Knight, Director of Utility Regulation for
1908Citrus County, testified that he was not testifying for or
1918against the proposed District, but rather only about a legal
1928matter regarding the ability of Rolling Oaks to serve the
1938proposed District. In this regard, Mr. Knight did not object
1948to approval of the proposed District in light of the
1958stipulation by Petitioner's representative at the public
1965hearing that Rolling Oaks would follow applicable rules and
1974regulations with respect to expanding its service territory.
198228. Four members of the general public provided comment
1991and asked questions concerning the consumption of water and
2000the nature of the expected development within the proposed
2009District. They are concerned that given the present supply of
2019water in Citrus County, there may n ot be sufficient water from
2031existing wells to serve the hundreds of new homes that will be
2043built in the District.
