LAND AND WATER ADJUDICATORY COMMISSION

Notice of Receipt of Petition to Contract the Boundary of the River Hall Community Development District

On June 23, 2014, the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission (“Commission”) received a petition to contract the boundary of the River Hall Community Development District. The petition was supplemented on July 22, 2014. The Commission will follow the requirements of Chapter 42-1, F.A.C., and Chapter 190, F.S., as amended, in considering the supplemented petition.

SUMMARY OF CONTENTS OF PETITION: The supplemented petition requests the contraction of the District to remove approximately 338.19 acres of land located within Lee County, Florida. A general location map of the existing District is provided in Exhibit 1 to the supplemented petition and a metes and bounds description for the contraction parcels is provided in Exhibit 3. After contraction, the District will encompass a total of approximately 1,620.24 acres.

SUMMARY OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: A statement of estimated regulatory costs (SERC) was prepared at the request of the District. The complete text of the SERC is contained as Exhibit 7 to the supplemented petition and addresses each statutorily required element as defined in Section 120.541(2), F.S. (2013). Generally, the SERC indicates that after contraction, the remaining District will continue to exercise the powers outlined in Section 190.012, F.S. The existing District has financed infrastructure improvements through special or non-ad valorem assessment revenue bonds. Repayment of these bonds is through special or non-ad valorem assessments levied against all benefited properties. Ongoing operation and maintenance for District-owned facilities is funded through operation and maintenance assessments levied against all benefited properties. Upon approval of the supplemented petition, there will be no District special assessments on the parcels excluded by the boundary contraction.
