PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this proposed rule is to establish a community development district (“CDD”), the Six Mile Creek Community Development District (“District”), pursuant to Chapter 190, F.S. The petition filed by Six Mile Creek Venture, LLC, requests the Commission establish a community development district located entirely within the unincorporated limits of St. Johns County, Florida. A Notice of Receipt of Petition for the Six Mile Creek Community Development District was published in the June 30, 2006, edition of the Florida Administrative Weekly. The land area proposed to be served by the District comprises approximately 1,282.15 acres. A general location map is contained as Exhibit 1 to the petition to establish the District. The proposed land area is east of Joe Ashton Road, north of County Road 208, west of Pacetti Road and south of the intersection of Pacetti Road and State Road 16. There is one excluded parcel within the boundary of the proposed District at 5405 S.R. 16, St. Augustine, Florida. No adverse impacts on the excluded parcel are anticipated. The Petitioner either owns or has written consent to establish the District from the owners of 100% of the real property located within the proposed District. The development plan for the District includes construction of approximately 2,278 units of single family detached, single family attached units and multi-family housing. The District contemplates providing certain master infrastructure improvements within the boundaries to include roadway improvements to Pacetti Road and Loop Road, utility infrastructure improvements including water main and force main on Pacetti Road and a water main interconnection, recreation and security improvements including entry feature, landscaping and a guard house, and neighborhood infrastructure including lift stations and force mains, drainage, neighborhood roadways, street lighting and neighborhood parks.
SUMMARY: The purpose of this proposed rule is to establish a community development district (“CDD”), the Six Mile Creek Community Development District (“District”), pursuant to Chapter 190, F.S. The petition filed by Six Mile Creek Venture, LLC, requests the Commission establish a community development district located entirely within the unincorporated limits of St. Johns County, Florida. A Notice of Receipt of Petition for the Six Mile Creek Community Development District was published in the June 30, 2006, edition of the Florida Administrative Weekly. The land area proposed to be served by the District comprises approximately 1,282.15 acres. A general location map is contained as Exhibit 1 to the petition to establish the District.

SUMMARY OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The statement of estimated regulatory costs (SERC) supports the petition to establish the District. The complete text of the SERC is contained as Exhibit 9 to the petition. The scope of the SERC is limited to evaluating the regulatory costs consequences of approving the proposal to establish the District. The requirements for a SERC are found in Section 120.541(2), F.S. A SERC must contain (a) a good faith estimate of the number of individuals and entities likely to be required to comply with the rule, together with a description of the types of individuals likely to be affected by the rule; (b) a good faith estimate of the costs to the agency, and to any other state and local government entities, of implementing and enforcing the proposed rule, and any anticipated effect on state or local revenues; (c) a good faith estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by individuals and entities, including local governmental entities, required to comply with the requirements of the rule; (d) an analysis of the impact on small businesses, small counties, and small cities; (e) any additional information that the agency determines may be useful; and (f) any good faith written proposal submitted under section (a) and either a statement adopting the alternative or a statement rejecting the alternative in favor of the proposed rule. Addressing section (a), the principal entities that are likely to be required to comply with the rule include the District, the State of Florida, and St. Johns County. In addition, current and future property owners will be affected by the establishment of the proposed District. Under section (b), FLWAC and the State of Florida will incur modest administrative costs. St. Johns County will incur modest costs resulting from the initial review and on-going costs resulting from the on-going administration of the District. There is a $15,000 filing fee paid to St. Johns County to offset any costs it may incur. Adoption of the proposed rule to approve the formation of the District will not have an adverse impact on State and local revenues. Addressing section (c), the District may levy non-ad valorem special assessments on properties within its boundaries to finance infrastructure that the District funds and to defray the costs of operating and maintaining the infrastructure and associated community facilities. The District may issue notes, bonds, or other indebtedness to fund its improvement program. Prospective future land owners would be required to pay off such indebtedness over time in the form of non-ad valorem special assessments or other rates, fees or charges. The District may also impose an annual levy for the operation and maintenance of the District. Under section (d), approval of the petition to establish the District will have no impact or a positive impact on all small businesses. The petition to establish the District will not have an impact on small counties as defined by Section 120.52, F.S., as St. Johns County is not defined as a small county. Under section (e), the analysis provided in the SERC was based on a straightforward application of economic theory. Input was received from the developer’s engineer and other professionals associated with the developer.
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.
