COUNTRYSIDE PHASE IV REPORT Chairman Bird requested that Administrator Chandler give the Board his report before this is opened to the public for discus- sion. The Chairman complimented the job done by the Administra- tor along with staff in preparing the voluminous report supplied to the Board. He then requested that everyone who wished to speak be as brief as possible and act like ladies and gentlemen. Administrator Chandler went over the summation of his report to the Board in considerable detail, as follows: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: May 3, 1991 FILE: SUBJECT: FRO • James E. Chandler REFERENCES: County Administrator As requested by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), at the March 19, 1991 meeting, I have conducted a thorough review and analysis of the Countryside Phase IV -water and sewer franchise from 1980 to date. In the process I reviewed a considerable number of documents, met with staff on numerous occasions, and met with Countryside representatives twice.

Franchise Administration: 1980 - 1985 The Village Green Phase IV Water and Sewer System Franchise was adopted by Resolution 80-88 (32 - 50) on September 10, 1980. Referenced in the franchise are ordinances 80-21 (18 - 26) -and 80-22 (27 - 31) which delineate the fee structures in affect at the time. Section XV of the franchise prescribed various fees that were to. be paid by the developer, Florida -Atlantic Associates. Although the language in this section is somewhat vague and refers to water, both ordinances and correspondence relate to water and sewer. Florida Atlantic was required to pay $227 per unit for main extension ($70) and plant capacity ($157), as each unit was a Numbers in parenthesis in report refer to page numbers of attachments 9 , 1 BOOK FH;t • �U L' MAY 14 1991 J
