STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE


The issue is whether the establishment of the Tuscany Community Development District meets the applicable criteria set forth in Chapter 190, Florida Statutes.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT


This case began on September 19, 2001, when Petitioner, Beverly Hills Development Corporation, requested the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission to adopt a rule to establish the Tuscany Community Development District. The proposed rule is attached to this Report as Appendix C. The matter was forwarded to the Division of Administrative Hearings on November 26, 2001, with a request that an Administrative Law Judge conduct a public hearing. By Notice of Hearing dated December 10, 2001, a public hearing was scheduled in Lecanto, Florida, on February 6, 2002. At the request of Petitioner, the public hearing was rescheduled to April 11, 2002, at the same location.

Petitioner presented five witnesses and offered into evidence Petitioner's Exhibits 1-14, which were admitted without objection. The names and addresses of the witnesses are listed in Appendix A attached to this Report, and the exhibits are listed in Appendix B. Six members of the public, including two Citrus County employees, presented public comment. Their names and addresses (if given) are also found in Appendix A attached to this Report. In addition, they offered two exhibits, which are listed in Appendix B.

Finally, on June 19, 2002, a letter was filed by a member of the public who resides in Beverly Hills, Florida. Because the

record was closed on April 21, 2002, or ten days after the public hearing, the letter has not been considered in the preparation of this Report.

The Transcript of the local public hearing was filed with the Division of Administrative Hearings on May 29, 2002. The original Transcript and hearing exhibits are transmitted with this Report.

FINDINGS OF FACT


Based upon all of the evidence, the following findings of fact are determined:

  1. Overview


    1. In this proceeding, Petitioner, Beverly Hills Development Corporation, seeks the adoption of a rule by the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission (Commission) to establish a new community development district just northeast of Beverly Hills in Citrus County, Florida. The proposed name for the new District is the Tuscany Community Development District (the District).

    2. The sole purpose of this proceeding was to consider the establishment of the District as proposed by Petitioner.

  2. Summary of Evidence and Testimony


  1. The evidence indicates that all of the statements contained in the Petition, as amended, are true and correct.

  2. Edwin M. Bulleit, a certified public accountant with Prager, McCarthy and Sealy, testified that he and his attorney met individually with the different county commissioners for Citrus County regarding the proposed District, and although the commissioners had questions, they had no objections to the adoption of the proposed District. Mr. Bulleit further testified that he felt he adequately answered the questions of the commissioners.

  3. Mr. Bulleit testified that a community development district is a mechanism to finance, plan, and manage public improvements. Witness Bulleit further testified that such a mechanism allows development to pay for itself.

  4. Mr. Bulleit stated that in his experience, 80 to 90 percent of developments in Florida are pursuing community development-type financing. Mr. Bulleit further testified that community developments provide the opportunity for tax exempt financing, the benefits of which include (i) lower interest rates, which make the development more financially sound and lots within the community development district more affordable, and (ii) access to long-term, 30-year debt financing, which means the financing matches the long-term nature of the assets being financed.

  5. Mr. Bulleit testified that a community development district may exercise certain powers subject to the regulatory

    jurisdiction and permitting authority of all applicable governmental bodies, agencies, and special districts having authority with respect to the community development district.

  6. Mr. Dale R. Miller, Vice-President of Petitioner, testified that Petitioner is a Florida corporation with offices in Beverly Hills, Florida. A certified copy of a Certificate of Active Status for Petitioner issued by the Florida Department of State was received into evidence as Exhibit 1.

  7. Mr. Miller indicated that the land area to be served by the proposed District consists of two parcels of unimproved real property containing approximately 951.14 acres located in the existing Beverly Hills Development of Regional Impact (Beverly Hills Property) and 560 acres located outside the Beverly Hills Development of Regional Impact (King Land Trust Property) for a total acreage of approximately 1,511.14 acres. Mr. Miller also testified that the Beverly Hills Property and King Land Trust Property are contiguous (320 acres are adjacent to the east of the Beverly Hills Property, while 240 acres are adjacent to the south of the Beverly Hills Property). The conceptual development plan's allotted acreage for each land use was received into evidence as a part of Composite Exhibit 4. The proposed District is entirely within the territorial limits of Citrus County, Florida.

  8. Mr. Miller further testified that the metes and bounds legal description of the external boundaries of the proposed District is as described in and attached to the Petition as Exhibit B and Exhibit B-1 and introduced into evidence at the hearing as a part of Composite Exhibit 4. Petitioner filed an amended Exhibit B to its Petition, which contained an amended legal description of the boundaries for the proposed District.

  9. Mr. Miller indicated that the owners of the land to be included within the boundaries of the proposed District are Petitioner and William H. Cauthen, as Trustee of the King Land Trust, Inc. Mr. Miller further testified that the owners of the land to be included within the proposed District have consented to establishing the proposed District. The written consents of the owners of the land to be included in the proposed District were attached to the Petition as Exhibits C and C-1, and introduced into evidence at the hearing as a part of Composite Exhibit 4.

  10. Mr. Miller testified that the five persons designated to serve as the initial members of the Board of Supervisors of the proposed District are: Ronald J. Collins, Dale R. Miller, Taylor Collins, Paul Buchanan, and John O'Kelley. The initial supervisors will serve on the Board of Supervisors until replaced by elected members as provided by

    Section 190.006, Florida Statutes. All of the initial supervisors are residents of the State of Florida and citizens of the United States of America.

  11. Mr. Miller also stated that the proposed timetables and related estimates of cost to construct the proposed District's services and facilities, based upon available data, were attached to the Petition as Exhibit D and received into evidence as a part of Composite Exhibit 4.

  12. Mr. Miller testified that the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) to establish the proposed District were attached to the Petition as Exhibit E and received into evidence as a part of Composite Exhibit 4.

  13. The future general description, location, and extent of public and private uses of land proposed for the area within the proposed District will be incorporated into the adopted and approved Citrus County Comprehensive Plan. Also, the requested land use and zoning classifications permit the planned residential and commercial development to be located within the proposed District. Finally, for those portions of the proposed District situated within the Beverly Hills DRI, the proposed public and private uses of land are compatible with all development orders issued pursuant to the DRI process.

  14. Mr. Miller testified that the proposed public and private uses of the land at issue were compatible with all of the development orders that have been issued pursuant to the development of regional impact process.

  15. Gail Easley, a professional land planner with The Gail Easley Company, testified that she reviewed the Petition and its exhibits in conjunction with the State Comprehensive Plan and found that the proposed District will not be inconsistent with any applicable element or portion of the State Comprehensive Plan.

  16. Ms. Easley also testified that she reviewed the Citrus County Comprehensive Plan, including the goals, objectives, and policies, as well as other materials, and found that the proposed District will not be inconsistent with any applicable element or portion of the Citrus County Comprehensive Plan.

  17. Ms. Easley further stated that the area of land within the proposed District is of sufficient size, is sufficiently compact, and is sufficiently contiguous to be developed as one functional interrelated community.

  18. Witnesses Bulleit, Miller, and Easley each testified that the proposed District is the best alternative available for delivering community development services and facilities to the area that will be served by the proposed District.

  19. Witnesses Bulleit and Miller testified that establishing the District will promote development of the land within the District by providing for a more efficient use of its resources.

  20. Mr. Miller testified that the community development services and facilities of the District will be compatible with the capacity and uses of existing and local regional community development services and facilities.

  21. Mr. Miller also stated that the District provides a perpetual entity capable of making reasonable provisions for the operation and maintenance of the District's services and facilities.

  22. Mr. Miller further testified that there is no real property located within the external boundaries of the District that is not going to be included within the District.

  23. Witnesses Bulleit and Easley testified that the area that will be served by the proposed District is amenable to separate special-district government.

  24. Louis G. Badami, Director of Utilities for Citrus County, testified that the District would be compatible with the capacity and uses of the existing local and regional water and sewer facilities, including those of Citrus County and Rolling Oaks Utilities, Inc. (Rolling Oaks). The latter utility is privately owned and provides water and wastewater

    service in an area adjacent to the District. Mr. Badami's testimony focused only on the water and wastewater service territories of Citrus County and Rolling Oaks. More specifically, he went on record as opposing a request to expand the present service territory of Rolling Oaks. He further testified that if the District was merely a funding mechanism to construct and install utilities and there was no expansion of Rolling Oaks' service territory without following applicable rules and regulations, he would recommend to Citrus County that it not oppose the District.

  25. Robert A. Knight, Director of Utility Regulation for Citrus County, testified that he was not testifying for or against the proposed District, but rather only about a legal matter regarding the ability of Rolling Oaks to serve the proposed District. In this regard, Mr. Knight did not object to approval of the proposed District in light of the stipulation by Petitioner's representative at the public hearing that Rolling Oaks would follow applicable rules and regulations with respect to expanding its service territory.

  26. Four members of the general public provided comment and asked questions concerning the consumption of water and the nature of the expected development within the proposed District. They are concerned that given the present supply of water in Citrus County, there may not be sufficient water from

    existing wells to serve the hundreds of new homes that will be built in the District.

    CONCLUSIONS OF LAW


  27. The Division of Administrative Hearings has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Chapters 120 and 190, Florida Statutes.

  28. The proceeding and local public hearing were properly noticed pursuant to Section 190.005, Florida Statutes, by publication of an advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in Citrus County once each week for the four consecutive weeks immediately prior to the local public hearing.

  29. Petitioner has met the requirements of Section 190.005, Florida Statutes, with respect to submitting the Petition and satisfying the filing fee requirements.

  30. Petitioner bears the burden of establishing that the Petition meets the relevant statutory criteria set forth in Section 190.005(1)(e), Florida Statutes. Petitioner has met that burden.

  31. All portions of the Petition and other submittals have been completed and filed as required by law.

  32. All statements contained within the Petition, as amended or supplemented at the local public hearing, are true and correct.

  33. The proposed District will not be inconsistent with any applicable element or portion of the State Comprehensive Plan.

  34. The proposed District will not be inconsistent with any applicable element or portion of the Citrus County Comprehensive Plan.

  35. The area of land within the proposed District is of sufficient size, is sufficiently compact, and is sufficiently contiguous to be developed as one functional interrelated community.

  36. The proposed District is the best alternative available for delivering community development services and facilities to the area that will be served by the proposed District.

  37. The community development services and facilities of the proposed District will be compatible with the capacity and uses of existing local and regional community development services and facilities, including water and wastewater facilities.

  38. The area that will be served by the proposed District is amenable to separate special-district government.

  39. The Commission is not the forum to consider or modify the existing service territory of Rolling Oaks; therefore, that issue is not germane to this proceeding.

RECOMMENDATION


Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is

RECOMMENDED that the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission, pursuant to Chapters 120 and 190, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 42-1, Florida Administrative Code, establish the Tuscany Community Development District, as requested by Petitioner, by formal adoption of the proposed rule attached to this Report as Appendix C.
