There were no changes suggested to this item. ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE FEBRUARY 21, 2023, BUSINESS MEETING In March 2021, City Council approved a rezoning for this project from a Master Planned Development and Single Family Residential (SFR)-1 to SFR-1 and Preservation. On August 18, 2021, the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) approved a Subdivision Master Plan for this project for 482 single-family residential lots. On May 6, 2022, Staff approved the preliminary plat for the project. In December 2022, the applicant submitted a petition to establish the Colbert Landings Community Development District (CDD) which is primarily a mechanism for funding the significant costs of providing infrastructure for a residential community. Florida Statutes Chapter 190, Community Development Districts, sets forth the standards for a CDD and more specifically Section 190.005 provides the standards for a local government to adopt an ordinance establishing a CDD. The following six factors are to be used by the City in determining if the City Council will grant or deny the CDD petition: 1. Whether all the statements within the petition have been found to be true and correct. 2. Whether the establishment of the district is inconsistent with any applicable element or portion of the State’s comprehensive plan or of the City’s comprehensive plan. 3. Whether the land area within the proposed district is of sufficient size, is sufficiently compact and is sufficiently contiguous to be developable as one functional interrelated community. 4. Whether the district is the best alternative available for delivering CDD services and facilities for the project. 5. Whether the CDD services and facilities of the district will be incompatible with the capacity and uses of existing local and regional community development services and facilities. 15 6. Whether the area that will be served by the district is amenable to separate special district government. A CDD is a special purpose unit of government that is utilized to acquire, finance, operate, and maintain the infrastructure within a planned development. A key advantage for the developer is that low-cost financing can be obtained by issuing tax-exempt bonds to finance the infrastructure improvements. The City or County approving such ordinance establishing the CDD is not a party to the financing and does not incur any obligation for this infrastructure debt. Once the infrastructure is completed, the CDD is managed by a five (5) member Board of Supervisors. Florida law requires the Board of Supervisors to operate under public record laws and provide annual audits. Additionally, Florida laws require that potential property owners within the CDD be notified upfront in writing of the infrastructure costs and annual payments associated with the applicable property. These payments would be made to the Flagler County Tax Collector’s office as an assessment. Public Participation: Newspaper ads are required to be run approximately two weeks prior to each of the two City Council public hearings. The applicant is also required to run four consecutive weekly newspaper ads advising the public of the second City Council public hearing. Recommended Action : PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DETERMINE THE COLBERT LANDINGS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PETITION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH FLORIDA STATUTES CHAPTER 190 AND THE CITY’S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND APPROVE THE ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE COLBERT LANDINGS COMMUNITY DEVELOMENT DISTRICT, APPLICATION #5308 16 City of Palm Coast, Florida Agenda Item Agenda Date : March 7, 2023 Department STORMWATER & Amount AS NEEDED ENGINEERING Division MANAGEMENT UTILITY Account MULTIPLE # Subject RESOLUTION 2023-XX APPROVING A MASTER PRICE AGREEMENT WITH ARGOS USA, LLC FOR 4000 PSI CONCRETE WITH FIBER MESH Presenter : Andy Hyatt, Stormwater Maintenance Manager Background : Council Priority: D.

Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has a roadway construction project scheduled for State Road (SR) 100 (aka Moody Boulevard) from the County Courthouse to the entrance to Popeye’s Chicken on the east side of Old Kings Road. The plans have been assembled with a technical review conducted by City staff. City staff made the request for the following add-on items for the corridor improvements that are outside of FDOT’s normal scope. FDOT is asking for confirmation from the City that the City will pay the add-on costs for the following items: 1. City logo on illuminated street name signs (no cost). 2. Black paint on traffic signal mast arms (six mast arms) ($29,500). 3. Colored and patterned sidewalk (north side) under the I-95 bridge. This is a replacement for the existing patterned sidewalk which is delaminating ($55,935 – estimate). 4. Colored and patterned sidewalk (south side) under the I-95 bridge. This is a new sidewalk ($46,530 – estimate). The estimated price for the sidewalks will be determined when FDOT receives the project bids. The City will be assessed the actual contract pricing, which may be higher or lower than the project bid. FDOT will draft the agreements with the City once FDOT receives affirmation that the City agrees to the proposed add-on amounts. The time frame of when City staff will receive the completed agreements has not been determined. However, FDOT will require remission of the total estimated add-on amount of $131,965 by the first week of May 2023 for FDOT to put the contract out for bid around October 2023. City funds will be stored in an escrow account until they are used on the project. 143 SOURCE OF FUNDS WORKSHEET FY 2023-24 TRAFFIC SIGNALS 21055011-063000/034000-54405 $ 665,000.00 Total Expended/Encumbered to Date………………………………………… $32,139.40 Pending Work Orders/Contracts………………………………………………. 0.00 Current (WO/Contract).………………………………………………………… $150,000.00 Balance………………………………………………………………………….. $ $482,860.60 Recommended Action : ADOPT RESOLUTION 2023-XX APPROVING FUND AGREEMENTS WITH FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (FDOT) FOR STATE ROAD 100 PROJECTS FROM NORTH PALMETTO STREET TO EAST OF OLD KINGS ROAD SOUTH 144
