689OVERVIEW

6901. Petitioner is seeking the adoption of a rule by the

701Commission to establish the District, which is proposed to

710consist of approximately 4,086.6 acres. The proposed District

719is located entirely within the unincorporated limits of St.

728Johns County, Florida. There are n o out - parcels within the area

741to be included in the District.

7472. The estimated cost of the infrastructure facilities and

756services, which are presently expected to be provided to the

766lands within the proposed District, was included in the

775Petition.

7763 . The sole purpose of this proceeding was to consider the

788establishment of the District as proposed by Petitioner.

796Matters relating to land use approvals, land use changes, the

806highest and best use of the property proposed to be included in

818the District, and environmental permitting matters, are not

826within the scope of this proceeding. See § 190.002, Fla. Stat.

837SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY

842A. Whether all statements contained within the Petition

850have been found to be true and correct.

8584. Petition er's Composite Exhibit A was identified for the

868record as a copy of the Petition and its attachments as filed

880with the Commission.

8835. Mr. Cassala testified that he had reviewed the contents

893of the Petition, and to the best of his knowledge, there were n o

907necessary changes to it. Mr. Cassala also testified that he

917approved the Petition’s findings. Mr. Cassala generally

924described the attachments to the Petition. Finally, Mr. Cassala

933testified that the contents of the Petition and its attachments,

943admitt ed into evidence as Petitioner's Composite Exhibit A, are

953true and correct to the best of his knowledge.

9626. Mr. Alford, a witness qualified as an expert in the

973filed of civil engineering, testified that he had assisted with

983the preparation of Petition E xhibits 1, and 4 - 8. Mr. Alford

996generally described the services and facilities the District is

1005expected to provide. Mr. Alford testified that the attachments

1014to the Petition contained reasonable estimated construction

1021costs based on his experience.

10267. Mr. Fishkind, a witness qualified as an expert in

1036economic and financial analysis, testified that his firm had

1045prepared Exhibit 9 to the Petition, the Statement of Estimated

1055Regulatory Costs. Mr. Fishkind also testified that the

1063Statement of Estimated Re gulatory Costs, as corrected and

1072submitted as Attachment 9 to Petitioner's Composite Exhibit A,

1081complied with the requirements of Section 120.541(2)(f), Florida

1089Statutes.

10908. Mr. Cassala testified that the Petition included true

1099and correct written cons ents to establish the proposed District

1109from 100 percent of the owners of the real property located

1120within the lands to be included in the proposed District.

11309. Mr. Cassala testified the Petition included the names

1139of the Board of Supervisors of the pr oposed District. The five

1151persons designated to serve as the initial Board of Supervisors

1161are William Petkoski, Scott Parr, Michael Veazy, Harry Waldron,

1170and Michael Davis. Mr. Cassala testified that he does not know

1181Harold Waldron personally. However, Mr. Perry testified that he

1190personally knows Mr. Waldron and that Mr. Waldron is a Florida

1201resident and U.S. citizen. All of the individuals identified

1210for the Board of Supervisors are citizens of the United States

1221and reside in Florida.

122510. The Petit ion and its applicable exhibits, as corrected

1235at the hearing, are true and correct.

1242B. Whether the establishment of the District is

1250inconsistent with any applicable element or portion of the State

1260Comprehensive Plan or of the effective local government

1268c omprehensive plan.

127111. Mr. Smith, a witness qualified as an expert in the

1282field of local and regional comprehensive planning, reviewed the

1291proposed District in light of the requirements of the State

1301Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 187, Florida Statutes.

130712. Mr. Smith testified that he reviewed the Petition and

1317that the establishment of the proposed District is not

1326inconsistent with the State Comprehensive Plan found in Chapter

1335187, Florida Statutes.

133813. According to Mr. Smith, two subjects of the Sta te

1349Comprehensive Plan apply directly to the establishment of the

1358proposed District, as do the policies supporting those subjects.

136714. Mr. Smith testified that Subject 16 [sic] 1 , Land Use,

1378recognizes the importance of enhancing the quality of life in

1388Flo rida by ensuring that future development is located in areas

1399that have the fiscal ability and service capacity to accommodate

1409growth. The proposed District will have the fiscal ability to

1419provide services and facilities to the population in the

1428designated growth area and help provide infrastructure in an

1437area which can accommodate development in a fiscally responsible

1446manner.

144715. Mr. Smith testified that Subject 26 [sic] 2 , Plan

1457Implementation, requires that systematic planning shall be

1464incorporated int o all levels of government throughout the state.

1474This goal encourages intergovernmental coordination. The

1480proposed District is consistent with this element of the State

1490Comprehensive Plan because the proposed District will

1497systematically plan for the con struction, operation and

1505maintenance of the public improvements and the community

1513facilities authorized under Chapter 190, Florida Statutes,

1520subject to and not inconsistent with the local government

1529comprehensive plan and land development regulations.

1535Add itionally, the District meetings are publicly advertised and

1544open to the public so that all District property owners and

1555residents can be involved in planning for improvements.

156316. Mr. Smith testified he reviewed the relevant portions

1572of the effective local comprehensive plan in light of the

1582establishment of the proposed District. Specifically, he

1589testified that he reviewed the St. Johns County local

1598comprehensive plan. Mr. Smith opined that the establishment of

1607the proposed District is not inconsiste nt with the St. Johns

1618County local comprehensive plan. Mr. Smith testified that the

1627County has already found the development of Kendall Creek to be

1638consistent, or at least not inconsistent, with the local

1647comprehensive plan.

164917. Mr. Smith identified ce rtain aspects of the St. Johns

1660County local comprehensive plan that would be furthered upon the

1670establishment of the proposed District. First, Goal H.1

1678requires the orderly and efficient provision of infrastructure

1686facilities and services such as sanitary sewer, potable water,

1695drainage, roads, utilities, recreation and open space. The

1703proposed District furthers this provision because it will

1711provide these types of improvements in an efficient and cost -

1722effective manner to the lands within the boundaries of the

1732proposed District.

173418. Second, Policy F.1.3.10 requires that DRIs, PUDs, and

1743other large developments shall provide for the dedication of

1752parks and open space. Goal H.1 requires that the County ensure

1763the orderly and efficient provision of the inf rastructure

1772facilities and services such as roads, utilities, recreation,

1780and drainage. The community development district (CDD) will

1788serve as an alternative provider of these infrastructure systems

1797and services to meet the needs of the lands within its

1808b oundaries.

181019. Third Objective H.1.7 requires the County to manage

1819fiscal resources in a manner sufficient to ensure the provision

1829of needed infrastructure. Once established, the proposed

1836District would provide the required infrastructure within its

1844bo undaries without reducing the fiscal resources of the County

1854or decreasing the County’s bonding limits.

186020. Fourth. Objective G.1.5 directs the County to work

1869cooperatively with other units of government to address issues

1878and concerns. Mechanisms, such as interlocal agreements, can

1886ensure that the proposed District and the County work together

1896and coordinate the construction, maintenance and management of

1904the required improvements.

190721. Based on the evidence in the record, the proposed

1917District will n ot be inconsistent with any applicable element or

1928portion of the state or local comprehensive plans.

1936C. Whether the area of land within the proposed District

1946is of sufficient size, is sufficiently compact, and is

1955sufficiently contiguous to be developab le as one functional

1964interrelated community .

196722. Testimony on this factor was provided by Messrs.

1976Alford, Fishkind, Smith, and Perry. The lands that comprise the

1986proposed District will consist of approximately 4,086.6 acres,

1995located entirely within the unincorporated limits of St. Johns

2004County, Florida.

200623. All of the land in the proposed District is part of an

2019approved DRI and Planned Unit Development (the “PUD”).

202724. Mr. Alford testified that the proposed District is of

2037sufficient size, compac tness and contiguity to be developed as a

2048functionally interrelated community. He also testified that the

2056necessary infrastructure can be provided by the proposed

2064District in a cost effective manner based on the specific design

2075of the community. Finally, he testified that the use of one

2086overall development plan will ensure proposed improvements are

2094provided in an efficient, functional and integrated manner.

210225. The size of the District as proposed is approximately

21124,086.6 acres. Mr. Perry testified t hat this is a sufficient

2124size to constitute a functionally interrelated community. He

2132also testified that the quality of compactness, contiguity, and

2141size relate directly to whether an area can be one functionally

2152interrelated community, and from the stan dpoint of this

2161provision, the proposed District will be able to successfully

2170maximize the delivery of the infrastructure improvements to the

2179land.

218026. Mr. Smith testified that the proposed District has

2189sufficient land area, and is sufficiently compact and contiguous

2198to be developed with infrastructure improvements as one

2206functionally interrelated community. Mr. Smith stated that the

2214area to be included within the proposed District can be expected

2225to succeed as a functional, interrelated community from a

2234planning perspective because the characteristics of the land

2242ensures that services and facilities will not be hampered by

2252significant barriers or spatial problems. Mr. Smith opined that

2261from a planning perspective, the relatively small nature of the

2271Dis trict, its planned community character, and the proposed

2280limited services and facilities make for a good match. Overall,

2290Mr. Smith testified that the foregoing represented a CDD of

2300sufficient size, sufficient compactness and sufficient

2306contiguity to serve as one functionally, interrelated community.

231427. From engineering, economic, management and planning

2321perspectives, the area of land to be included in the proposed

2332District is of sufficient size, is sufficiently compact, and is

2342sufficiently contiguous to be developed as a single functionally

2351interrelated community.

2353D. Whether the proposed District is the best alternative

2362available for delivering community development services and

2369facilities to the area that will be served by the proposed

2380District.

238128. It is presently intended that the proposed District

2390will participate in the construction or provision of certain

2399infrastructure improvements as outlined in the Petition.

240629. Installation and maintenance of infrastructure systems

2413and services by the proposed District are expected to be paid

2424through the imposition of special assessments, which will be

2433borne only by property owners within the proposed District that

2443benefit from the infrastructure systems. Use of such

2451assessments will ensure that the r eal property benefiting from

2461proposed District services is the same property which pays for

2471them.

247230. Mr. Perry identified two types of alternatives to the

2482establishment of the proposed District for the purpose of

2491installation and maintenance of infras tructure systems. First,

2499St. Johns County might provide facilities and services from its

2509general fund. Second, facilities and services might be provided

2518by some private means, with maintenance delegated to a property

2528owners' association (POA) or a home o wners' association (HOA).

253831. The proposed District will be governed by and managed

2548by its own board, thereby allowing greater focus on the needs of

2560the District and its facilities and services.

256732. The proposed District will construct certain

2574infr astructure and community facilities which will be needed by

2584the property owners and residents of the project. The revenue

2594that will repay the bonds issued to meet the construction costs

2605will come from special assessments imposed on the benefiting

2614property .

261633. The District has the advantage of being a unit of

2627local government, which has access to the tax exempt bond

2637market. Additionally, the proposed District is a long - term,

2647stable, perpetual entity capable of funding, constructing, and

2655in some cases maintaining facilities over the lifetime of the

2665facilities.

266634. From planning, economic, engineering, and management

2673perspectives, the proposed District is the best alternative

2681available for delivering community development services and

2688facilities to t he area that will be served by the District.

2700E. Whether the community development services and

2707facilities of the proposed district will be incompatible with

2716the capacity and uses of existing local and regional community

2726development services and facilit ies.

273135. The services and facilities proposed to be provided by

2741the District are not incompatible with uses and existing local

2751and regional facilities and services. The District's facilities

2759and services within the proposed boundaries will not duplicat e

2769any existing regional services or facilities which are provided

2778to the lands within the District by another entity. None of the

2790proposed services or facilities are presently being provided by

2799another entity for the lands to be included within the Distri ct.

281136. Therefore, the community development services and

2818facilities of the proposed District will not be incompatible

2827with the capacity and uses of existing local and regional

2837community development services and facilities.

2842F. Whether the area that will be served by the District is

2854amenable to separate special - District government.

286137. As cited previously, from planning, economics,

2868engineering, and special district management perspectives, the

2875area of land to be included in the proposed District is of

2887sufficient size, is sufficiently compact, and is sufficiently

2895contiguous to be developed and become a functionally

2903interrelated community. The community to be included in the

2912District has a need for basic infrastructure systems to be

2922provided.

292338. From planning, engineering, economic and management

2930perspectives, the area that will be served by the proposed

2940District is amenable to separate special - district government.

2949G. Other requirements imposed by statute or rule.

295739. Chapter 190, Florida St atutes, and Rule Chapter 42 - 1,

2969Florida Administrative Code, impose specific requirements

2975regarding the Petition and other information to be submitted to

2985the Commission.

2987Elements of the Petition

299140. The Commission has certified that the Petition meets

3000al l of the requirements of Section 190.005(1)(a), Florida

3009Statutes.

3010Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC)

301641. The SERC contains an estimate of the costs and

3026benefits to all persons directly affected by the proposed rule

3036to establish the proposed District -- the State of Florida and its

3048citizens, the County and its citizens, Petitioner, and

3056consumers.

305742. Beyond administrative costs related to rule adoption,

3065the State and its citizens will only incur minimal costs from

3076establishing the District. These costs are related to the

3085incremental costs to various agencies of reviewing one

3093additional local government report. The proposed District will

3101require no subsidies from the State.

310743. Administrative costs incurred by St. Johns County

3115related to rule adoption should be minimal and are offset by the

3127required filing fee of $15,000. Benefits to the county will

3138include improved planning and coordination of development,

3145without incurring any administrative or maintenance burden for

3153facilities and serv ices within the proposed District except for

3163those it chooses to accept.

316844. Consumers will pay non - ad valorem or special

3178assessments for the District facilities. Location within the

3186District is voluntary. Generally, District financing will be

3194less e xpensive than maintenance through a property owners'

3203association or capital improvements financed through developer

3210loans. Benefits to consumers in the area within the District

3220will include a higher level of public services and amenities

3230than might otherw ise be available, completion of District -

3240sponsored improvements to the area on a timely basis, and a

3251larger share of direct control over community development

3259services and facilities within the area.

326545. Section 190.005(1)(a), Florida Statutes, requires the

3272Petition to include a SERC, which meets the requirements of

3282Section 120.541, Florida Statutes. The Commission has already

3290certified the sufficiency of the Petition. The Petition

3298contains a SERC which meets all requirements of Section 120.541,

3308Florid a Statutes.

3311Other Requirements

331346. Petitioner has complied with the provisions of Section

3322190.005(1)(b)1., Florida Statutes, in that St. Johns County was

3331paid the requisite filing fee of $15,000.

333947. Section 190.005(1)(d), Florida Statutes, requires

3345Petitioner to publish notice of the local public hearing in a

3356newspaper of general circulation in St. Johns County for four

3366consecutive weeks prior to the hearing. The notice was

3375published in The St. Augustine Record , a newspaper of general

3385paid circulati on in St. Johns County, for four consecutive

3395weeks, on January 25, 2006, February 1, 2006, February 8, 2006,

3406and February 15, 2006.

3410Local Government Support

3413For Establishment of the District

341848. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 190.005(1)(b),

3426Fl orida Statutes, Petitioner filed a copy of the Petition and

3437the $15,000 filing fee with St. Johns County prior to filing the

3450Petition with the Commission.

345449. The St. Johns County Commission did not hold a public

3465hearing on the establishment of the Dis trict as permitted by

3476Section 190.005(1)(c), Florida Statutes.

3480Public Comment Regarding the Establishment of the District

348850. Only one member of the public, Ellen A. Whitmer,

3498commented during the public hearing. Many of Ms. Whitmer’s

3507comments expresse d her personal disagreement with the provisions

3516of Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. The validity of Chapter 190,

3526Florida Statutes, and Ms. Whitmer’s disagreement therewith, are

3534not relevant as to whether or not the Petition meets the

3545applicable factors set forth in Section 190.005, Florida

3553Statutes.

355451. However, several of the issues raised by Ms. Whitmer

3564were addressed at the hearing. For example, it was explained

3574that the decision for the development to have its utilities

3584serviced by Jacksonville Electri c Authority (JEA), as opposed to

3594St. Johns County, was a decision made by St. Johns County and

3606JEA and had nothing to do with Petitioner.

361452. There was also an explanation of the structure under

3624which bond funds are held after bonds are issued. Specifi cally,

3635it was explained that the funds are held in trust and cannot be

3648disbursed without a requisition approved by the District’s

3656engineer. Such a requisition certifies that the disbursement is

3665part of the District’s capital improvement plan.

367253. It i s worth noting that none of Ms. Whitmer’s comments

3684directly addressed any of the factors set forth in Section

3694190.005, Florida Statutes. It is also worth noting that

3703Ms. Whitmer does not live on the property that would make up the

3716proposed District.

3718COM PARISON OF INFORMATION IN RECORD TO APPLICABLE LAW

372754. This proceeding is governed by Chapter 190, Florida

3736Statutes.

373755. The proceeding was properly noticed pursuant to

3745Section 190.005, Florida Statutes, by publication of an

3753advertisement in a newspaper of general paid circulation in

3762St. Johns County and of general interest and readership once

3772each week for the four consecutive weeks immediately prior to

3782the hearing.

378456. Petitioner has met the requirements of Section

3792190.005, Florida Statutes, regarding the submission of the

3800Petition and satisfaction of filing fee requirements.

380757. Petitioner has met the burden of establishing that the

3817Petition meets the relevant statutory factors set forth in

3826Section 190.005(1)(e), Florida Statutes.
