PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Petitioner seeks to establish the Big Island Community Development District consisting of 5,701 acres.

SUMMARY: The Petition filed with the Commission proposes the establishment of the Big Island Community Development District consisting of 5,701 acres within St. Johns County, Florida.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has been prepared by the Agency.

A statement of estimated regulatory costs (SERC) was prepared at the request of the Petitioner. The complete text of the SERC is contained as Exhibit 7 to the petition. Generally, the SERC indicates the rule:

• Is not expected to have any direct or indirect impact on economic growth, private sector job creation or employment, or private sector investment in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule;

• Is not likely to have any adverse impact on business competitiveness;

• Is not likely to increase regulatory costs of the State or the County. The proposed District will pay a one-time filing fee to the County to offset any County expenses; and will pay the annually required Special District Filing Fee, which is meant to offset any State costs related to oversight of all special districts in the State. The District will incur overall operational costs related to services for infrastructure maintenance, landscaping and similar items. In the initial stages of development, the costs will likely be minimized. These operating costs will be funded by landowners through direct funding agreements or special assessments levied by the District;

• Will require compliance by the State of Florida, St. Johns County, and current and future property owners;

• Will not directly or indirectly result in any additional costs to the agency or any other state and local government entities other than those noted above and will have no anticipated effect on state or local revenues;

• Will result in transactional costs to future landowners in the development to pay for facilities and services the District may provide. Financing for these facilities and services is projected to be provided by the District; and,

• Will have no adverse impact on small businesses, counties or cities.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
