Item 4

Presenter – Damon Douglas, Special Projects Coordinator, Land Management

Public Hearing – Ordinance creating a Treasure Beach Canal MSBU and levying assessments. St. Johns County Ordinance 91-47 created the Treasure Beach Canals Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU) to dredge the canals. The assessments have expired and the canals are again filling in. Representatives of the property owners have presented County staff with an engineer’s plan and estimate, and petitions from a majority of property owners asking for an MSBU to finance a dredging project that would be repaid, with interest, with non-ad valorem assessments. Resolution 2013-46 provided notice, required by Florida Statute 197.3632, of intent to use the Uniform Method of Collection to have the Tax Collector collect non-ad valorem MSBU assessments for the Treasure Beach Canals. County staff presented information regarding the canal dredging and MSBU financing to the community at two public meetings and County originated petitions mailed to the property owners indicate majority support for new assessments. Notice has been published and mailed to each property owner informing them of the public hearing. If enacted, the Purchasing Department will coordinate with Construction Services to select an engineering firm to provide design and bid documents and then select a contractor by standard purchasing procedures.

Item 5

Consider a Resolution approving the terms and conditions of an Agreement with the St. Johns County Tax Collector for the collection of the non-ad valorem assessments and the reimbursement of related administrative costs for the Treasure Beach Canals MSBU. If the Board of County Commissioners enacts the Treasure Beach Canals MSBU Ordinance to create the MSBU and levy assessments, this agreement with the Tax Collector will be necessary for the non-ad valorem assessments to be collected by the Tax Collector on the property tax bills in accordance with Florida Statute 197.3632. The Statute requires a written agreement with the Tax Collector for the reimbursement of the administrative costs of collecting the assessments. Said reimbursement is defined in the Statute and the agreement as 2% of payments received by the Tax Collector. This 2% fee was factored into the assessment calculations.

Public Hearing – PUD 2013-01 500 State Road 16.

Based on the information available to staff, the Planning & Zoning Section finds the request for a rezoning substantially meets the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code. This finding is based upon the following information: the application materials as submitted by the applicant, consistency with the Land Use Designation of Residential-C, consistency with the Land Development Code (upon approval of the waivers), and other relevant information. This finding may be subject to other competent substantial evidence received, including that material received at the quasi-judicial public hearing.
