DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney <br />Kate Pingolt Cotner, Assistant County Attorney <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />William K. DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney <br />January 14, 2015 <br />Public Hearing for Approval of a Resolution Electing to Use the Uniform <br />Method for the Levy, Collection and Enforcement of Non Ad Valorem <br />Assessments for the Oceanside Subdivision Street Paving and Maintenance <br />Municipal Service Benefit Unit <br />The residents of Oceanside Subdivision located east of Highway A -1-A, south of Porpoise Point and <br />north of Floralton Beach Subdivisions have approached staff concerning the future care and <br />maintenance of the streets within their subdivision. The Oceanside Subdivision was developed in the <br />late 1970s and the streets are narrower than the now required 60 foot rights-of-way for subdivision <br />streets. In the next few years, the streets within the subdivision will need to be repaved, so the <br />residents of Oceanside have asked the County to take over ownership and maintenance of the <br />streets. Staff has agreed to take over the streets but has requested that the streets be repaved with <br />private funds prior to take over. <br />In order to generate funds for repaving these streets, County staff is proposing the creation of a new <br />Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) to recover the costs of road repaving in the Oceanside <br />Subdivision. The area is made up of a residential subdivision platted in 1979, prior to current land <br />development regulations. There are 36 Oceanside Subdivision landowners who will be affected by <br />the MSBU. Staff estimates that repaving the streets will cost approximately $70,000. The affected <br />residents have agreed to have the proposed MSBU raise those funds over a five year period. After <br />two or three years of collecting funds, Oceanside would dedicate the streets to the County and the <br />county would in turn repave the subdivision streets. It is contemplated that after the County has been <br />paid back from the MSBU for repaving the streets, the MSBU would be repealed and the County <br />would continue to maintain the streets. Indian River County Code provides for the establishment of <br />street paving and maintenance districts by ordinance and for collection of non ad valorem <br />assessments pursuant to the uniform method found in Florida Statute §197.3632. <br />Y AT TORNEY <br />130 <br />
