The Petitioner hereby affirms that all of the statements contained herein are true and correct, in compliance with Sections 190.005(2)(a) and 190.005(1)(e), Florida Statutes. B. As according to the Future Land Use element of the Plan, the future land use designation for the land area proposed to be included in the District is "Urban Mixed Use District, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict."

Ih STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS Artesia Naples Community Development District 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Purpose This statement of estimated regulatory costs ("SERC") supports the petition to establish the Artesia Naples Community Development District ("District" or "CDD"). The proposed District comprises approximately 261.6 acres all of which are in the County of Collier. The proposed District will provide community infrastructure and services to the Artesia Naples residential community ("Development") as described below. The new District will provide community Infrastructure that will serve all, or a substantial portion of, the land in the proposed District. The District plans to provide localized infrastructure improvements and services ("District Infrastructure") to serve the land in the District. The District may finance community Infrastructure by issuing bonds from time to time ("Bonds") secured by, among other things, proceeds of non-ad valorem special assessments (the "Assessments") levied on land within the District. 1.2 Scope of the Analysis The limitations on the scope of this SERC are explicitly set out in Section 190.002(2) (d), F.S. (governing Districtformation or alteration) as follows: "That the process of establishing such a district pursuant to uniform general law shall be fair and based onlv on factors material to manaaina and financina the service delivery function of the district, so that any matter concernina permittina or plannina of the development is not material or relevant (emphasis added)." 1.3 Overview of the Development Plan for the Artesia Naples District As noted above, the Artesia Naples District will provide community infrastructure and district infrastructure, services, and facilities along with their operations and maintenance, to the Artesia Naples Development. The land contained in the District is currently planned for the land uses shown in Table 1. These are preliminary plans and are subject to change. j 3 EXHIBIT 7 Artesia Naples is a master planned residential community in unincorporated Collier County being developed by WCI Communities, Inc. ("Developer"). The Artesia Naples Community Development District, if approved, will encompass a total of approximately 261.6 acres. Current plans envision approximately 385 single family detached homes, 196 villa homes and 144 multi family condominium residences for a total of 725 residential units along with recreational facilities.

(2002), defines the elements a statement of estimated regulatory costs must contain: "(a) A good faith estimate of the number of individuals and entities likely to be required to comply with the rule, together with a general description of the types of individuals likely to be affected by the rule. (b) A good faith estimate of the cost to the agency, and to any other state and local government entities, of implementing and enforcing the proposed rule, and any anticipated effect on state and local revenues. (c) A good faith estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by individuals and entities, including local governmental entities, required to comply with the requirements of the rule. As used in this paragraph, "transactional costs" are direct costs that are readily ascertainable based upon standard business practices, and include filing fees, the cost of obtaining a license, the cost of equipment required to be installed or used or procedures required to be employed in complying with the rule, additional operating costs incurred, and the cost of monitoring and reporting. 2 (d) An analysis of the impact on small businesses as defined by Section 288.703, F.S., and an analysis of the impact on small counties and small cities as defined by Section 120.52, F.S. Collier County is not defined as a small County for purposes of this requirement. (e) Any additional information that the agency determines may be useful. (f) In the statement or revised statement, whichever applies, a description of any good faith written proposal submitted under paragraph (1) (a) and either a statement adopting the alternative or a statement of the reasons for rejecting the alternative in favor of the proposed rule." 2.0 A good faith estimate of the number of individuals and entities likely to be required to comply with the ordinance, together with a general description of the types of individuals likely to be affected by the ordinance If this petition to establish the District is approved, the District will encompass approximately 261.6 acres. All of the ultimate property owners in the District will be required to comply with District rules and their properties will be encumbered with District obligations to pay for infrastructure and operations and maintenance expenses incurred by the District. Of course prior to the sell out of the real estate, all of the undeveloped land owned by the Developer and any other landowner will also be under the jurisdiction of the District. 3.0 Good faith estimate of the cost to state and local government entities, of implementing and enforcing the proposed ordinance, and any anticipated effect on state and local revenues 3.1 Costs to Governmental Agencies of Implementing and Enforcing Ordinance State Governmental Entities The cost to State entities to review or enforce the proposed ordinance will be very modest. The District comprises less than 1,000 acres. Therefore, the County will review and act upon the petition to establish the District. 3 There are minimal additional ongoing costs to various State entities to implement and enforce the proposed ordinance. The District is a special purpose unit of local government, and it is required to file various reports to the State of Florida, the Department of Community Affairs and other agencies of the State. The filing requirements are outlined in Appendix A. However, the additional costs to the State and its various departments to process the additional filings from the District are very low, since the State routinely processes filings from over 100 similar districts. Finally, the filing fees paid by the District are designed to offset any additional costs to the State. Collier County This petition to establish the District will require the County to review the petition and its supporting exhibits. In addition, the County will hold public hearings to discuss the petition and to take public input. These activities will absorb staff time and time of the County Commission. However, these costs are very modest at most for the following reasons. First, the review of this petition to form the District does not include an analysis of the Development itself. In fact, such a review of the Project is prohibited by statute. Second, the petition contains all of the information necessary for its review. Third, the County already has all of the staff necessary to review the petition. Fourth, no capital costs are involved in the review. Fifth, the County routinely processes similar petitions for land use and zoning changes that are far more complicated than this petition to form the District. Finally, the $15,000 filing fee is designed to offset these costs. The County will incur only a small additional annual cost if this petition is approved. The proposed District is an independent unit of local government, so the District is responsible for its own budget, reporting, and the full conduct of its powers within its boundaries. The District will provide the County with its budget each year, but no County action is required. 3.2 Impact on State and Local Revenues Adoption of the proposed ordinance will have no negative impact on State or local revenues. The District is an independent unit of local government. It is designed to provide community facilities and services to serve the development. It has its own sources of revenue. No State or local subsidies are required or expected. 4 In this regard it is important to note that any debt obligations incurred by the District to construct its infrastructure, or for any other reason, are not debts of the State of Florida or any unit of local government. By State law debts of the District are strictly its own responsibility. In this regard it is important to note that any debt obligations incurred by the District to construct its infrastructure, or for any other reason, are not debts of the State of Florida or any unit of local government. By State law debts of the District are strictly its own responsibility. 4.0 A good faith estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by individuals and entities required to comply with the requirements of the ordinance The District plans to provide various community facilities and services to the property in the District, as outlined in Table 2. The District plans to fund, construct, own and manage the internal roadways, the water management & drainage system, landscaping & streetscaping, street lights, access control, irrigation supply & distribution and the conservation and preserve areas. In conjunction with the Developer, the District will fund and construct the offsite road and utility improvements and solely fund and construct the water distribution and sanitary sewer systems and convey them to the County for operations and maintenance. The District's costs may include acquisition of land on which the infrastructure will be constructed. Table 2.

In addition to the levy of non-ad valorem assessments for debt service, the District may also impose a non-ad valorem assessment to fund the operations and maintenance of the District and its facilities and services. It is important to note that the various costs outlined in Table 3 are typical for developments of the type contemplated here. In other words, there is nothing peculiar about the District's financing that requires additional infrastructure over and above what would normally be needed. Therefore, these costs are not in addition to normal development costs. Instead, the facilities and services provided by the District are substituting in part for developer-provided infrastructure and facilities. Along these same lines, District-imposed assessments for operations and maintenance costs are similar to what would be charged in any event by a property owners' association common to most master planned developments. Real estate markets are quite efficient, because buyers and renters evaluate all of the costs and benefits associated with various alternative locations. Therefore, market forces preclude developers from marking up the prices of their products beyond what the competition allows. To remain competitive the operations and maintenance charges must also be in line with the competition. 6 Furthermore, locating in the District by new residents is completely voluntary. So, ultimately, all owners and users of the affected property choose to accept the District's costs in tradeoff for the benefits that the District provides. The District is an alternative means to finance necessary community services. District financing is no more expensive, and often less expensive, than the alternatives of a municipal service taxing unit (MSTU), a neighborhood association, County provision (directly or via a dependent special district), or through developer-bank loans. 5.0 An analysis of the impact on small businesses as defined by Section 288.703, F .5., and an analysis of the impact on small counties and small cities as defined by Section 120.52, F.S. There will be no impact on small businesses because of the formation of the proposed District. If anything, the impact may be positive. This is because the District must competitively bid certain of its contracts. This affords small businesses the opportunity to bid on District work. The development is located in the County of Collier. As of the latest Census date, the 2000 Census, the County has a population of 251,377. Therefore, the proposed District is not located in a County defined as a "small" (75,000) according to Section 120.52, F.S. 6.0 Any additional useful information. The analysis provided above is based on a straightforward application of economic theory, especially as it relates to tracking the incidence of regulatory costs and benefits. Inputs were received from the Developer's Engineer and other professionals associated with the Developer. Finally, it is useful to reflect upon the question of whether the proposed formation of the District is the best alternative to provide community facilities and services to the Development. As an alternative to the District, the County could approve a dependent special district for the area, such as an MSBU or a special taxing district under Chapter 170, F.S. Either of these alternatives could finance the improvements contemplated in Table 2 in a fashion similar to the proposed District. However, each of these alternatives is inferior to the District. Unlike the District, the alternatives would require the County to continue to administer the project and its facilities and services. As a result, the costs for these services and facilities would not be sequestered to the land directly benefiting from them, as the case would be with the District. 7 A District also is preferable from a government accountability perspective. With a District as proposed, residents and renters in the District would have a focused unit of government under their direct control. The District can then be more responsive to resident needs without disrupting other County responsibilities. Another alternative to the District would be for the developer to provide the infrastructure and to use a property owners association (POA) for operations and maintenance of community facilities and services. A District is superior to a POA for a variety of reasons. First, unlike a POA a District can impose and collect its assessments along with other property taxes. Therefore, the District is far more assured of obtaining its needed funds than is a POA. Second, the proposed District is a unit of local government. Therefore, unlike the POA the District must abide by all governmental rules and regulations.

I am a professional urban planner. I am a Principal with the firm a. Grady Minor & Associates and have over 18 years of experience in planning and permitting related to land development activities. I have previously been employed as a professional planner by local and State governments, including Palm Beach County, Collier County and South Florida Water Management District. I have been actively involved in Developments of Regional Impact, growth management plan amendments, property rezonings, land development code amendments, site development plans, and land feasibility studies. I hold dual degrees in urban planning: a Bachelor of Science Degree in Urban-Regional Planning from Missouri State University, and a Master of Urban Planning from the University of Kansas. I have served as an expert in urban planning in a variety of local, regional and state growth management planning issues and have testified in numerous hearings including Florida Administrative Hearings, and local government public hearings. Below is a summary of the planning consequences of establishing the proposed Artesia Naples Community Development District in Collier County. My assessment of the six statutory factors that must be met in order to establish a Community Development District is discussed below. Project Description Artesia comprises approximately 262:t acres within southern Collier County, Florida, bounded on the west by Wentworth Estates DRI and Rookery Bay Preserve, bounded on the east by KOA Campground and Eagle Creek C.C. PUD and on the south Rookery Bay Preserve and bounded on the north by Wentworth Estates DRI and LESNAP unrecorded subdivision. The property is located within the Urban Mixed-Use Residential District Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict of the Collier County Future Land Use Map. The Urban Residential District permits a variety of residential and mixed-use projects, and are encouraged to be in the form of a master planned community: The property is currently planned for a residential master planned community with 725 residential units and typical accessory community amenities. The master planned community will include both single family and multi-family dwelling unit types, a clubhouse and other residential amenities. coo - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page I of 13 The Six Statutory Factors: Section 190.005 (1)(e)1-6, F.S. Section 190.005(2)(c), Florida Statues, provides that the County Commission shall consider the record of the public hearing and the following factors section 190.005 (2)(e), in making its determination to grant or deny a petition for the establishment of a community development district. 1. Whether all statements contained 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 comprehensive plan or of the effective local government comprehensive plan. 3. Whether the area of land 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 community development services and facilities to the area that will be served by the district. 5. Whether the community development services and facilities of the district will be incompatible with the capacity and uses of existing local and regional community development services and facilities. 6. Whether the area that will be served by the district is amenable to separate special-district government. Factor One 1. Whether all statements contained within the petition have been found to be true and correct. In my professional planning opinion, the Petition and its exhibits satisfy the requirements of the statute and contain information that is both true and correct. Therefore, factor one in my opinion is satisfied from a planning perspective. Local Specialized Problem: None. Factor Two 2. Whether the establishment of the district is inconsistent with any applicable element or portion of the state comprehensive plan or of the effective local government comprehensive plan. Regarding Factor Number Two, I have analyzed both the State Comprehensive Plan and the Collier County Comprehensive Plan because this factor questions whether creation and establishment of the District is consistent with any applicable element or portion of the State Comprehensive Plan or the Collier County Comprehensive Plan. A discussion of consistency with the State Plan is provided below. In my professional CDD - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page 2 of 13 opinion, the creation of the CDD is consistent with the State Plan and the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Discussion: The State Plan. The State Comprehensive Plan is set forth in Chapter 187, Florida Statutes. I have reviewed all twenty-five goals and several related policies under each goal in the State Plan from this perspective. I have identified and evaluated those subjects, goals and policies that do relate to the creation and establishment of a Community Development District. As a professional planner, I have provided an opinion as to the consistency of proposed District with each related goal, objective and policy of the plan. I have analyzed from a planning perspective each subject and goal and then identified various specific policies under each of them which related to the proposed District. Subiect and Goal 15 LAND USE (a) Goal - In recognition of the importance of preserving the natural resources and enhancing the quality of life of the state, development shall be directed to those areas which have in place, or have agreements to provide, the land and water resources, fiscal abilities, and service capacity to accommodate growth in an environmentally acceptable manner. Subject Number 15 and its related goal are applicable because it being directed to areas having, or programmed to have funded land and water resources, and necessary infrastructure capacity to serve growth in an environmentally responsible manner. The Artesia Naples Community Development is in an area of Collier County that has available access to regional water and sewer services, and roadway networks to serve a project of this scale. The District is located in the Urban Mixed-Use Residential District, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict of Collier County's Future Land Use Plan and will meet all applicable natural resources regulations. The creation of the District is consistent with this goal. The Artesia Naples CDD is within the Collier County Water and Sewer District, and has met provisions of the Collier County Concurrency Management System. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 15(b)1. Promote state programs, investments, and development and redevelopment activities, which encourage efficient development and occur in areas which will have the capacity to service new population and commerce. Establishment of the District is consistent with this Policy. Chapter 190, F.S., establishes that a District purpose is to provide necessary capital infrastructure to service projected growth without overburdening other governments and taxpayers. All necessary infrastructure on-site will be provided by the Developer or Community Development District, which will be coordinated with Collier County Government. All development will be consistent with the Collier County Capital Improvement Element of the Growth Management Plan. Local Specialized Problem: None eDD - ARTESJA NAPLES,doc Page 3 of ) 3 Policy 15(b)2. Develop a system of incentives and disincentives, which encourage separation of urban and rural land uses while protecting water supplies, resource development, and fish and wildlife habitats. A District is a form of local government which, is required by law to provide service capacity in areas designated for urban services, and to provide such services in an environmentally sensitive manner. The Establishment of the proposed District is consistent with policy 15(b)2 of the State Plan. The Artesia Naples Community is located within an area designated for urban levels of development on the Collier County Future Land Use Map. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 15(b)3. Enhance the livability and character of urban areas through the encouragement of an attractive and functional mix of living, working, shopping, and recreational activities. Establishment of the District is consistent with this Policy. Through the creation of the District, Artesia Naples will be developed as a master planned residential community with on-site recreational and personal services amenities designed to serve the residents of the District within a designated recreational component of the project. On- site open spaces are linked to nearby preservation areas providing for contiguous passive recreational opportunities. Subiect and Goal 17 PUBLIC FACILITIES (a) Goal - Florida shall protect the substantial investments in public facilities that already exist and shall plan and provide for and finance new facilities to serve residents in a timely, orderly, and efficient manner. Subject 17 and its related Goal and policies would be directly implemented through the establishment of the proposed District through the responsible provision of services and facilities when needed to those property owners within the District. The establishment of the District will be consistent with this subject and goal. Collier County implements and funds its adopted Capital Improvement Element, and Artesia Naples has coordinated community improvements with Collier County government. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 17(b)3.-Allocate the costs of new public facilities on the basis of the benefits received by the existing and future residents. Facilities and services provided by the District are paid for through assessments and user fees by those property owners who benefit from those facilities and services. In my planning opinion, the proposed District is consistent with, and will implement, policy 17(b)3. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 17(b)4.- Create a partnership among state government, local governments, and the private sector which would identify and build needed public facilities and COD - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page 4 of 13 allocated the costs of such facilities among the partners in proportion to the benefits accruing to each of them. The state legislature determined that a District is a legitimate alternative method of paying for and managing community development. A District must be consistent with the plans of the State and local governments. Establishment of the District, consistent with this legislative intent, is consistent with Policy 17(b )4. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 17(b)5. Encourage local government financial self-sufficiency in providing public facilities. The proposed District, if established, would be a special-purpose local government, and would be self-sufficient in the provision of infrastructure, services and facilities in that it would not draw upon other County resources. The establishment of the proposed District would not be inconsistent with this policy. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 17(b)6. Identify and implement innovative but fiscally sound and cost- effective techniques for financing public facilities. The special-purpose District will have limited powers to design, fund and construct services and facilities necessary to accommodate the project's service demands. The proposed District is consistent with this policy. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 17(b)7. Encourage the development, use, and coordination of capital improvement plans by all levels of government. The District is subject to the reporting provisions of Section 189.415, Florida Statutes, which in paragraph (6) states, "For purposes of the preparation or revision of local government comprehensive plans required pursuant to s. 163.3161, a district public facilities report may be used and relied upon by the local general purpose government or governments within which the special district is located. This statutory provision is directed at fostering coordination between special districts and general-purpose governments. The proposed District, if established, will implement this policy, and is therefore consistent with the policy. Local Specialized Problem: None Subiect and Goal 20 GOVERNMENTAL EFFICIENCY (a) Goal - Florida governments shall economically and efficiently provide the amount and quality of services required by the public. Chapter 190.002 finds that an independent district can be a solution to the state's planning, management, and financing needs by providing timely, efficient, effective and economic means of service delivery. The proposed District will provide services in an CDD - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page 5 of 13 economical and efficient manner to residents of the District and is consistent with Goal 20. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 20(b)1. Encourage greater cooperation between, among, and within all levels of Florida government through the use of appropriate interlocal agreements and mutual participation for mutual benefit. Once the Community Development District is formed, it will function as a form of local government and the Statute permits the District to enter into interlocal agreements with other local governments. The Collier County Growth Management Plan, Intergovernmental Coordination Element and Public Facilities Element provide for the coordination and cooperation of all governmental entities, including Community Development Districts. Because the Statute requires consistency with the local government growth management plan, and the District must cooperate with local governments, it is my opinion that the proposed Artesia Naples Community Development District will be consistent with Policy 20 (b) 1 of the State Comprehensive Plan. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 20(b)2. Allow the creation of independent special taxing districts, which have uniform general law standards and procedures and do not overburden other governments and their taxpayers while preventing the proliferation of independent special taxing districts, which do not meet these standards. This policy directly addresses why a Community Development District is a beneficial method of funding community development services. A Community Development District provides the infrastructure and community services through the sale of various types of bonds, for which the obligation to repay the bonds is borne by only those who directly receive the benefits provided by the Community Development District. The general taxpayer has no obligation to pay for services within the District. The Community Development District must be established according to the standards specified in Florida Statutes and must be consistent with local government plans. The proliferation of independent districts is restricted by the various factors required to establish a Community Development District. The proposed Community Development District in my professional planning opinion is consistent with Policy 20(b)2. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 20(b)5. Eliminate needless duplication of, and promote cooperation in, governmental activities between, among, and within state, regional, county, city, and other governmental units. As stated previously, a District is required under Florida Statutes to prepare reports and public records with respect to its facilities and operations which are made available to owners within the Community Development District, as well as prospective purchasers. These records are also filed with the County as public records and may be utilized by the local government. This cooperative requirement of sharing information as well as eDD - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page 6 of 13 the requirement to be consistent with the State and local government plans furthers the proposed Community Development District's consistency with Policy 20(b)5. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 20(b)9. Encourage greater efficiency and economy at all levels of government through adoption and implementation of effective records management, information management, and evaluation procedures. Florida Statutes, Chapter 190, requires that Community Development Districts perform extensive record keeping and management, and they are subject to the Florida Sunshine Law. In my professional planning opinion, these requirements of the Community Development District fulfill the requirements of Policy 20(b)9, and the establishment of the District is consistent with this policy. Local Specialized Problem: None. Subiect and Goal 25 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION (a) Goal - Systematic planning capabilities shall be integrated into all levels of government in Florida with particular emphasis on improving intergovernmental coordination and maximizing citizen involvement. As discussed previously, a Community Development District has a statutory requirement to report information concerning District operations. Further, because a District is a special purpose government, it must advertise its regularly scheduled meetings, ensuring the opportunity for public comment. The proposed District, if established, in my opinion, is consistent with and would further this goal. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 25(b)2. Ensure that every level of government has the appropriate operational authority to implement the policy directives established in the plan. The fact that a District established pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, must not be inconsistent with any applicable portion of the State Comprehensive Plan, a District is granted the operational authority to implement policies of the Plan. The establishment of the proposed District is consistent with Policy 25(b)2. Local Specialized Problem: None Policy 25(b)3. Establish effective monitoring, incentive, and enforcement capabilities to see that the requirements established by regulatory programs are met. A District is not exempted from any applicable local, regional or state growth management regulatory programs, thus the establishment of the proposed Artesia Naples Community Development District is not inconsistent with this policy. Local Specialized Problem: None CDD - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page 7 of 13 Policy 25(b)8. Encourage the continual cooperation among communities, which have a unique natural area, irrespective of political boundaries, to bring the private and public sectors together for establishing an orderly, environmentally, and economically sound plan for future needs and growth. The District is required to operate openly (in the sunshine) and with public notice, encouraging public participation, and as stated previously, reporting of the District's facilities and services status to the County government provides a mechanism for cooperation between the general purpose and special purpose governmental entities. The establishment of the proposed District is consistent with this policy. Local Specialized Problem: None COLLIER COUNTY lOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The adopted Collier County Local Government Growth Management Plan is set forth in the following Collier County Ordinances, as amended. This Plan is currently in force and effective in Collier County. Capital Improvement Element Transportation Element Public Facilities Element B Ord. 97-58 Housing Element Recreation and Open Space Element Conservation and Coastal Management Element Future Land Use Element Intergovernmental Coordination Element Ord. 2005-25 Ord.2004-71 Ord. 2005-25 Ord. 2000-27 Ord. 2003-67 Ord. 2004-71 Ord. 2005-25 Ord.2003-67 Under the Florida Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, as amended, the Plan consists of various elements, sub-elements and appendices. I reviewed each Plan element with respect to the powers granted to a Community Development District under Section 190, Florida Statutes. As a professional planner, I have reviewed the Plan in order to determine whether there is any specific inconsistency between the proposed Community Development District Plan and the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Those goals, objectives and policies that are relevant to the creation of the proposed Community Development District have been evaluated. The establishment of the Community Development District to provide the governmental services for Artesia Naples complies fully with the goals, objectives and policies of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. COD - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page 8 of 13 PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT - POTABLE WATER SUBELEMENT Policy 1.2.6: Where Community Development Districts, or other similar special districts are established to provide a tool for developers to finance infrastructure or other purposes, wholly or partially within the Collier County Water-Sewer District, water service shall be connected to the regional system, and internal facilities shall be conveyed when acceptable to the Collier County Water-Sewer District for operation and ownership in accordance with Collier County Ordinance 01-57 adopted October 23, 2001 or its latest revision, and District construction and operating policies. Artesia Naples will provide potable water infrastructure to support the proposed development within the District boundaries and will connect the system to Collier County consistent with the Collier County Utilities Ordinance. The establishment of the proposed District is consistent with this Policy. Local Specialized Problem: None INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT Goal 1: Provide for the continual exchange of information and the use of any intergovernmental coordination mechanisms with Broward, Dade, Hendry, Lee, and Monroe Counties, Cities of Everglades and Naples, Collier County School Board, Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council, and any other local, state, or federal agency or governmental entity, and utility companies such as but not limited to Florida Power and Light, Lee County Electric Cooperative, Sprint/United Telephone, Immokalee Water and Sewer District, Pelican Bay Service Division (MSTU), Florida Water Services, Florida Cities Water Company, Media One, and Cablevision Industries, that may be impacted by Collier County's land, road, or facility planning to resolve differences and to achieve compatible and coordinated plans. Objective 1.1: By the time mandated for the adoption of land development regulations pursuant to Chapter 163.3202, F.S., including any amendments thereto, establish intergovernmental communication and level of service coordination mechanisms to be used by Collier County, Cities of Everglades and Naples, adjacent counties, the Collier County School Board, the State, and any other entity that provides a service but may not have land use authority. Policy 1.1.1: Collier County will continue to utilize existing coordination mechanisms, e.g., interlocal planning agreements, joint meetings and any other mechanism described in this element which promotes consistent planning activities. Artesia Naples has coordinated with and received necessary approvals from both public and private sector agencies in the delivery of services, such as Collier County Utilities, independent fire control districts, Collier County Department of Transportation, and Florida Power and Light to insure the services are coordinated and non-duplicative. Artesia Naples Community Development District will continue to coordinate plans with the various governmental agencies as it develops. The establishment of the proposed District is consistent with this goal and associated objective. coo - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page 9 of 13 FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Objective 5 and Policy 5.1: In order to provide sound planning, ensure compatibility of land uses and further the implementation of the Future Land Use Element. All rezonings must be consistent with this Growth Management Plan. Artesia Naples is a residential master planned community, which utilizes the Planned Unit Development zoning district alternative to establish the development program, and the establishment of the Community Development District to provide governmental and infrastructure services. The project site is located in an area designated as Urban Mixed-Use, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict on the County's Future Land Use Map. The intent of this District is set forth previously in this Report. This proposed master planned project is consistent with this objective and policy, and has been found consistent with the Growth Management Plan by the Collier County Board of Commissioners. Local Specialized Problem: None The establishment of the proposed Artesia Naples Community Development District, pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, is not inconsistent with the goals objectives and policies of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Based upon the aforementioned findings, the creation and establishment of the proposed District would not be inconsistent with any goals, policies, sections or portions of the Plan, even if it were to exercise any and all of its statutory powers. Further, the creation and establishment of the proposed District would not be inconsistent with those parts of the Plan, which do not relate to the creation and establishment of a District. Factor Three 3. Whether the area of land within the proposed district is of sufficient size, is sufficiently compact, and is sufficiently contiguous to be developable as one functional interrelated community. The proposed Artesia Naples Community Development District is of sufficient size and sufficiently compact to be developed as a functional interrelated community. The project's size is 262:t acres. This land area is large enough in land area to allow for the efficient provision of infrastructure systems, facilities and services. A project of this size and scope is most appropriately master planned to demonstrate how the various components of the overall project relate both internally and externally. Collier County encourages development to utilize the Planned Unit Development Zoning in order to demonstrate a master plan of development for large scale communities. Artesia Naples will be developed in phases concurrent with provision of infrastructure The project is appropriately compact in size in that it will permit residential development and the required infrastructure support to be extended throughout the proposed District boundaries as one functional interrelated community. eDD - ARTESIA NAPLES, doc Page 10 of 13 The properties within the proposed Artesia Naples Community Development District are contiguous. The term "functional interrelated community" is undefined in Chapter 190, F.S. In my professional planning opinion, the term, "functional interrelated community" means that the CDD area has common characteristics in that permitted land uses that can be master planned because of the land use relationships, as well as the contiguity of the community and its overall size. The proposed District will utilize the planned unit development concept to demonstrate the interrelatedness of the entire project, whereby not only the internal and external land use relationships have been shown, but the basic infrastructure to serve the entire community is master planned. Artesia Naples is consistent with and furthers the larger community's goals as outlined in the discussion on the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Local Specialized Problem: None Factor Four 4. Whether the district is the best alternative available for delivering community development services and facilities to the area that will be served by the district. There are several alternative ways to provide basic infrastructure and services to. the lands proposed to be serviced by the proposed Community Development District. Generally, there are three common methods of providing services to a community, which include privately funded and maintained services, publicly provided systems and those that could be operated via a public special purpose Community Development District. Private provision of services and maintenance can be appropriate; however, with limitations, in that long-term funding must be assured to support infrastructure for the life of the community, as is required through the issuance of bonds to support a Community Development District. The provision of services by the public can have limitations, especially where the community is a master planned and interrelated community that may desire services more appropriately directed at its property owners. The responsibility of a local government is to provide the basic infrastructure support for all communities within its Governmental boundary. A master planned community that may wish to achieve a higher than basic standard provided by local government, and will not be well suited to provision of services through common general government funding alternatives. The Community Development District option is a preferred alternative in that the provision of services may be commensurate with the desired level of service of the community, while resulting in no burden to those properties or residents outside the District. The Community Development District cannot overburden the existing facilities because of the required concurrency management requirements found in the Collier County Growth Management Plan, Land Development Code and Chapter 190, F .S. Local Specialized Problem: None coo - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page 11 of 13 Factor Five 5. Whether the community development services and facilities of the district will be incompatible with the capacity and uses of existing local and regional community development services and facilities. Chapter 190, F.S. requires that all actions and implementation of any or all Community Development District powers are governed by and must not be inconsistent with the Collier County Growth Management Plan. One of the fundamental requirements of Chapter 163, F.S. is that local government comprehensive plans must identify capital facilities required to support expected growth and that standards must be adopted to insure that minimum established levels of service for these facilities can be maintained. This requirement insures that the impacts of development are created concurrent with the available capacity of necessary capital infrastructure. Development may not occur unless there are adequate public facilities available to support it. These requirements insure compliance with County land development regulations and adequate public facility requirements. Collier County has not identified any inadequate public facilities that will prohibit development within the proposed District. Local Specialized Problem: None Factor Six 6. Whether the area that will be served by the district is amenable to separate special-district government. Factor six deals with whether the area that will be serviced by the District is amenable to separate special-district government. As discussed in the prior factor analysis, the land area is of sufficient size, and is sufficiently compact and sufficiently contiguous to be a functional community. The project area is also located in an area where other large-scale master planned communities have been developed utilizing the community development district. In my opinion the land area for the District is amenable to special district government because the land area proposed to be established as a District has the need for the services and at a level that may be provided by the District. The District would also benefit from the provision of District services in that the services will be tailored to the specific needs of the District while consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the local growth management plan. Local Specialized Problem: None Summary Long term and sustained adequacy and efficiency of infrastructure are important, and I note that among the three alternatives discussed, the proposed District would more closely and efficiently manage services and facilities given that the District's sole responsibility is the community development's infrastructure needs, both immediate and in the long term. Further, a District can be more responsive to the property owners of CDD - ARTESIA NAPLES,doc Page 12 of 13 the community development and other affected parties, than can be provided by the alternatives, which either have a broader public accountability, or more even move narrowed interests. The proposed Artesia Naples Community Development District is the most appropriate means of providing community development, services and facilities because it will be functionally involved in the overall physical master planning of the development, which equitably distributes the cost and responsibilities to the users of the systems, services and facilities, provides for long term maintenance, and provides a greater assurance that the residents served by the Artesia Naples will have a sustained level of service to meet their desired quality of life.
