Purpose


The purpose of this proposed rule is to establish a community development district (“CDD”), the Sarasota National Community Development District (“District”), pursuant to Chapter 190, F.S. The petition, as amended, filed by Tuscano, LLC, requests the Commission to establish a community development district located within Sarasota County, Florida. A Notice of Receipt of Petition for the Sarasota National Community Development District (originally filed under the name of Tuscano Community Development District) was published in the March 17, 2006, edition of the Florida Administrative Weekly. The land area proposed to be served by the District comprises approximately 2,353.80 acres (The original petition described the proposed District as approximately 2,375.12 acres in size. However, the District’s legal description was amended to approximately 2,353.80 in size.). A general location map is contained as Exhibit 1 to the amended petition to establish the District. The proposed District is bounded on the north by U.S. 41, the east by the City of North Port, the south by Manasota Beach Road, and on the west by a single-family subdivision. There is no developable real property located within the external boundaries of the proposed District which is to be excluded from the District. The Petitioner either owns or has written consent to establish the District from the landowners of one hundred percent (100%) of the real property located within the proposed District. All of the land in the proposed District will be part of a golf course residential community comprising 1,584 residential units. It is presently anticipated that the proposed District will construct or provide for certain infrastructures, which include public roads, provisions for water and sewer facilities and water management facilities.
