On December 23, 2005, the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission (the “Commission”) received a Petition (supplemented January 17, 2006) to adopt an amendment to Rule Chapter 42QQ-1, F.A.C., to amend the boundary of the Villages of Westport Community Development District (the “District”) pursuant to Chapter 190, F.S.

SUMMARY OF THE STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: In association with the Petition, as supplemented, the Petitioner has caused a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (“SERC”) to be prepared in compliance with Section 120.541, F.S.

By way of summary, the SERC estimates the principal individuals and entities likely to be required to comply with the amended rule are the state, the City of Jacksonville, Florida, the current property owners within the existing District and the landowners within the District’s proposed amended boundary. The SERC estimates the households and businesses that locate within the proposed expansion area and within the current District boundaries would be under the jurisdiction of the District. The SERC estimates that rule amendment implementation and enforcement costs to the above-described entities will be minimal and/or are offset by the payment of requisite filing and annual fees; and, estimates there will be no negative impact on state and local revenues from the proposed amendment of the rule. With respect to an estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by individuals and entities required to comply with the requirements of the rule, the SERC indicates that to fund the cost of maintaining infrastructure, operation and maintenance assessments will be imposed on the District property owners. The SERC notes, prospective landowners in the District will be required to pay non-ad valorem assessments levied by the District to secure the debt incurred through bonds. Finally, the SERC concludes that the amendment of the District’s boundary will have no impact on small businesses and should not have negative impact on small cities. The City of
