This petition to establish the Cordova Palms Community Development District should be granted because it meets the six (6) factors set forth in Section 190.00S(l)(e), Florida Statutes, as follows:
The statements contained within this Petition have been found to be true and

correct.

Establishment of the District and all land uses and services planned within the proposed District are not inconsistent with applicable elements or portions of the effective State Comprehensive Plan or the St. Johns County Comprehensive Plan.
The area of land within the proposed District is part of a planned community. It is of a sufficient size and is sufficiently compact and contiguous to be developed as one functional

and interrelated community.

"\..

The establishment of the District will prevent the general body of taxpayers in St.

Johns County from bearing the burden for installation of the infrastructure and the maintenance of certain facilities within the development encompassed by the District. The District is the best alternative for delivering community development services and facilities to the proposed community w;ithout imposing an additional burden on the general population of the local

general-purpo·se  government.	Establishment	of    the   District   in	conjunction	with	a comprehensively planned cornmJuty, as proposed, allows for a more efficient use of resources.
The community development services and faciliti s of the District will not be· incompatible with the capacity and use of existing local and regional community development services and facilities. In addition, the establishment of the District will provide  a perpetual entity capable of making reasonable provisions for the operation and maintenance of  the District's services and facilities.
_'.fhe area to be served  by the proposed  District is amenaele  to separate special-
'
district government.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests the County Commission of St. Johns County, Florida to:
hold a public hearing rn accordance with the requirements of Section 190.005(2)(b), Florida Statutes;
grant the peµtion and adopt an ordinance establishing the District pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes;
consent to the District's exercise of certain additional power to finance, fund, plan, establish, acquire, construct, reconstruct, enlarge or extend, equip, operate, and maintain systems and facilities parks and facilities for indoor and outdoor recreational, cultural, and educational uses and security, including, but not limited to, guardhouses, fences and gates, electronic intrusion-detection systems, and patrol cars, when authorized by proper governmental
agencies, as authorized and described by Section 190.012(2), Florida Statutes; and
grant su' ch other relief as app opriate.

The Petitioner preserttly intends for the Proposed District to participate in the acquisition· or construction ·of certai.n' a stormwater management· system,·roadway ·improvements, water and.sewer systems, and amenity, entry features and landscaping·improvements.

Are tile constr ction cp t esthpaJes for the proposed facilities, as identified in

Yes, I have reviewed the construction cost estimates and,·to the b st'of my.k.1i'owledge,

Frrst, the·Jands to be included within the Proposed District have: sufficient significant mfrastructi.ire needs to be developaqle as a functionally interrelated community .. Second., this necessary: infrastructure can bc\provided :by the Proposed. District in: - cost effective manner b sed upon tlie specific design :of the com_munity. _Furthermore, the u,se of one

There is no 'duplicatfon or overlap of fadlities or :services because no other entity or unit of government:·is presently funding or providing _the.· improvements proposed by the Proposed District. . Therefore, the Proposed District will be an · effident entity to

Yes. The ·Proposed District encompasses approximately 292.89 :acres. First, land. covering of this. size is large enough to support its :own comm.unity with individual facility and .service needs. Second, although maintenance of improvements is also a .
:concern, the Proposed District can be utilized as an efficient long.;term· mechanism to ensure that the residents of the J>roposed,District pay for·and i:eceive proper and require.d maintenance. Therefore, tny op_inion is tli11t the area ·within .the Proposed Distdct is 'am.enable_to ·separate pecial district government. ·	: • . : .

·  The  Proposed  Qistrict  is . a -long-terin;  stable,  perpetual . entity.  capable  of funding,
constructing· and, in some cij.ses, maintaining the facilities over the _lifetime· of the facilities because the Proposed District has the advantage of being a· unit. of local. government; which has aqcess to the tax exempt bond market. 'Neither. a· property
. owners' nor horneown,ers' association (POA/HOA) has the ability · to. finance infrastructure .of the nature and- scope contemplated here, or manage the construction, acquisition or main{ep.ance of tije public infrastru,c:ture. Neither is a_uthorized foplace a:
· first lien on property if the owner does not pay its:maintep.ance assessments. Overall, the · Proposed District would be a more timely; reliable. and cost-efficient mechanism to., deliver and maintain the·needed coriununity improvements.

· However, homeowners' associations ate generally required by typical water maiiagemenf · district rules .to:provide significantly-more information· and documentation before they are authorized   to   operate   and  ·maintain   a   stormwater  . management ·system..	Such documentation generally must (i) indicate that the association has the required .financial capabilities·, (ii)mandate tllat the association will operate and maintain suc)1 system,s i'\Ild
(iii) provide that th.e association cannot .be· dissolved· until another. entity is found to
.maintain the system..

A   CDD,   which: is   generally   considered   to·  be   a  more   secure   financial,   legal .and
adininistr!l,tiye entity, generally. must s.irnply provide a letter to the water man gement · district committing that the·district will :accept operation and maintenance responsibility.
All  things  beirig. equal,  a  CDD  is  preferred. over  a  homeowners'   or  property owners'
association for operation and maintenance.ofa stormwater niariagement system.

In the.early stages, particularly when a CDD is fo1med in

!

funds may be funded by a "funding agreement" between the CDD .and the landowner/developer· in lieu of assessments that the_ CDD might have imposed ori · property within the CDD;	·
.	.
In order to.provide long term.financing of capital projects, CDDs often 1ssue bonds. An·..· bonds_ issued by CDDs must be secured by a trust agreement, and any bond maturing over

a

a  period  of  rriore  than  five  years must  be  validated  and  confirmed  by  court decree
· pursuant to Chapter 75, Florida·Statutes:.•-The-GDD.also inay borrow funds on	long or. short-te1m basis.

Debt ay be 1:etired by· the. di trict thro gh non-:ad  ·valoreni  or  special  assessments imposed on benefited· properties, or rates; fees, and cbarges_.imposed _on users·of CDD" facilities and services.· By law, d bt of the CDD cannot becqme debt of any other
government (city, county or state), without that government's consent.

'	'
What alternativ_es, other than CDDs, re you familiar with that might be_ vailable

.	.

to provide community infrastructure for the·lands w thin the J.l1;oposed District?
.	'	.    .	.	.	.	'	.	.	)

In my opinion there ru:e two. alternatives that might provide community infrastructure such .as the roads, utilities, drainage, and other imprqvements contemplated for the Proposed District.

I:n evaluating these alternatives, it is important to consider whether the alternative can provide focused seryices, can· effectiv iy and efficiently manage ;md maintain the facilities, and whether the .alternative can secure low.cost, long-term public financing. The County clearly provk;les the long-term perspective and is a stable and relatively low cost sourc.e: of financing and.:provider of services at sustained levels: However, the County has substantial demands over a broad. geographical area ·that places a heavy · management delivery load on its staff. In addition, if·depende:n.t district ·financing were used,  the County  would  be responsible for·	administrative aspects	the dependent district. By using a·dependent district mechanism;·the County would be increasing its
responsibility, and hence. liability, for the .variety of actions that v,,ili take place .in the Cordova  Palms: development.    By  contrast,  a ·CDD  can· be created  to  provide focused
attention to a·specific area in.a ·cost effectjve manner. It also allows the County  to focus staff time; finances, and other resources elsewhere-and does not burden the general body oftaxP.ayers int e County with the debt associated with this growth. ·

The  other  alternative. is the. use of  private  means. -  either through a  property owner's
.	association  or through. the developer; or  both in. combination.. ·This combination  can
clearly  satisfy  the  high demand  for:t'ocused  service and facilities.and managed delivery.	. ,I·
However, oniy a public entity can assure a long-tefrn perspective, act as a stable provider·.
.  of services  and facilities,  qualify  as a  lower  cost source  of financil).g arid pay  for services at sustained leveis.  Property  owners'  associations  lackthe  ability  to  effectively  finance these types of improvements .. Thefr ability _to assure adequate funds for sustained high . levels of maintenance: is less than with a:CDD.	·	·
.	.	.	.      .	.
Furthermore,. neither e developer nor a POA would be required· to conduct all actions . relating to the provision of these improvements in.:the "Sunshine" as. a CDD must,  or. abide by other public:access requirements that are incumbent upon a CDD and its'Board. Also, provision ·and long :term Operation and maintertance of these improvements, particularly the recreation and drainage activities, by a CDD ensures thafresidents have guaranteed access to the body_ or :entity. i:nalcing decisions about these facilities, arid in fact ... will cme day sit as the five member Board inaking·:the decisions that impact their community directly.
A CDD is an independent, special-purpose unit of focal government designed to focus its attention on _pmviding the best lonw,term service to its specific bel)._efited properties and

Local   governments   provide . developments   with. the. criteria· for   the ' elements of

. infrastructure to provide for the facilities' and services, including stormwater  drainage, water; sewer, and other facilities and services. Functio1_1aI unification means that each provided  facility  and  service has      mutual  reinforcing  relationship  to  one another,  with
· each facility ·and service designed to contribute to the development..and maintenance of
·    the  community   as:   a  whole:    Each  facility   and  service  must  meet  the  growth  and development  of the  coinniunity, ·so a management  capability  and a funding source are

the

Two criteria are,.needed to. evaluate a land area,as amen.able to separate special distdct government. One·, does	·1and area have need for the facilities and services and will its
owners and'residents benefit fr9m faciliti s that·the: pecial district colil_d provide? Two,

.

is·the land :area of sufficient size, sufficiently compact and sufficiently  contiguous  to  be the basis for a functional inten·elated commuJJity?	.	.	.	.

ECONOMICS AND FINANCING

Are you . familiar. ,vith the· Petition filed by Dream Finders Hoines LLC·
(''Petitioner"), to establish the Proposed District?

Yes, I have reviewed the petitio11 a d all _o,f the attached· exhi its. Spe(}ifically, I prepared Petition Exhibit 8 ;which is_ the SERC, a requirement of Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. .
Based on your review of _Petition Exhibit' 8 (Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs), are tbere,ariy updatesJhat needJo be made at this time? .
... ,..... ··.
No updates are·necessa_ry at this time,

What exactly is a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs ("SERC")?

It is ·a requirement under Section 120.54l(f), Florida Statutes, which_ has been inc·orporated into the law on.establishment ofCDDs:·
In general ter1ns; please summarize· the economic analyses presented m the SERC.

for

An u:riderstandiri.g of the . SERC requires the recognition· of the scope of review nd evaluatibn .the establishment of-a CDD as set out in: Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, Section 190.002(2)(d), Florida Statutes, states "that the process.of establishing such a district pui·suant to uniform geiieral law'[must] be fair and based only·on factors _material to managing and financing-the service-delivery function of the district, so that any matter concerning p rmitting 01; planning of the deveiopment is not·material or reievant." Thus, the '"scope.  . of   the .  economic   analysis : included  in   the ..SERC   addresses   only   the. establishment o.f .the Proposed District,• and not the planning or development of the property itself. ··

. The economic analysis sets out the assumptions about .the development within the Proposed District and the anticipated infrastructure to e provided by it.. The analysis
addresses each of the potentially affected parties defined in the statute and evaluates the impact of the Proposed District.on each such group.	.

The Pi:oposed District is aJimited and highly'specialized unit of.lo.cal govelJltrlent.. IUs a speciai-purpose unit·of local government vrith a single objective: the provision and maintenance of infrastructure and services for a planned new community. Its economic benefits_ exceed:.its ecoriomic cost · to Petitioner, the_. County, ·and to all subseqµent purchasers and landowners of the community - in shori,·to all affected parties.
Once'the Proposed IYistrict is established, there ate no direct' costs_ to the C01.inty'. While the Proposed District wiff provide certain reports. and·budgets: to the County for. its
