The petition (amended during the February 13, 2006, local public hearing) filed by Eh/Transeastern, LLC, requests the Commission establish a community development district located within St. Johns County, Florida. A Notice of Receipt of Petition for the Twin Creeks Community Development District was published in the January 27, 2006, edition of the Florida Administrative Weekly. The land area proposed to be served by the District comprises approximately 3,050 acres. A general location map is contained as Exhibit 1 to the petition, as amended, to establish the District. The site is generally located south of Durbin Creek, west of U.S. 1, east of Interstate 95, and on both sides of County Road 210 in St. Johns County, Florida. There are no parcels within the external boundaries of the proposed District which are to be excluded from the District. The Petitioner has obtained written consent to establish the District from the landowners of one hundred percent (100%) of the non-governmental real property located within the proposed District. The development plan for the proposed lands within the District includes the construction of approximately 5,000 units of single family detached units, single family attached units, multi-family housing along with 900,000 square feet of commercial mixed and 2,000,000 square feet of flexible industrial use space. Additional development plans include a 175 room hotel and a multiplex movie center. The District, if established, plans to finance certain master infrastructure improvements within the District boundaries. The improvements include complete construction of the basic infrastructure connecting and serving neighborhoods, including but not limited to: clearing, earthwork, water, sewer, and reclaimed utilities, internal roadways, and sodding/grassing. Master infrastructure also includes a community recreation center. Also included will be stormwater management facilities consisting of treatment ponds, outfalls, land to construct the retention and compensating storage areas, and wetland mitigation to serve the District in accordance with permitting agencies. Other District improvements include school facilities and substantial off-site improvements related to County Road 210 and US 1.
