A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SETTLEMENT OF A LAWSUIT
AND CLAIMS RELATING TO WATERWAY VILLAGE, A
DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, CLAIMS UNDER THE BERT J. HARRIS, JR., PRIVATE
PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION ACT; MAKING CERTAIN
FINDINGS; APPROVING SETTLEMENT DOCUMENTS; AND PRO-
VIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE UPON COURT APPROVAL.
WHEREAS, on November 9, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners adopted
Resolution 2004-137 constituting a Development Order ("Development Order") pertaining to
Waterway Village, a Development of Regional Impact ("Waterway Village"); and on December
13, 2005, the Board entered into a Developer's Agreement with DiVosta Homes L.P.
("DiVosta") relating to Waterway Village ("Developer's Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, a dispute subsequently arose between Indian River County and DiVosta
relating to concurrency for Waterway Village. Specifically, Indian River County took the
position that all "development orders" and "development permits" as defined in §163.3164(7)
and (8), Florida Statutes, were subject to the concurrency testing requirements of §163.3180,
Florida Statutes, and therefore each new phase of Waterway Village was required to be tested for
concurrency prior to approval of such phase. DiVosta disagreed and took the position that
Waterway Village was vested for concurrency in its entirety, pursuant to § 163.3167(8), Florida
Statutes, and §910.03(5) of the IRC Land Development Regulations (Concurrency Management
System); and
WHEREAS, as a result of the aforesaid dispute, DiVosta (1) filed a complaint in the
Circuit Court, Indian River County, Florida, styled DiVosta Homes, L.P., et al. v. Indian River
County, Florida, case #20070109 CA 19, seeking, among other things, a declaration that
Waterway Village is vested for concurrency in its entirety ("Lawsuit"), and (2) presented a claim
to Indian River County under the Bert J. Harris, Jr., Private Property Rights Protection Act,
§70.001, Florida Statutes ("Bert Harris Claim") (collectively "Claims"); and
WHEREAS, the parties have reached a settlement of the Claims, as set forth in the
Settlement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "A", in amendments to the Development Order,
as set forth in the Amended and Restated Development Order, Resolution 2010- 037 , and in
amendments to the Developer's Agreement as set forth in the Amended Developer's Agreement,
which amended order and agreement are attached as Exhibits A and B to the Settlement
Agreement (collectively "Settlement" or "Settlement Documents"); and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the Settlement is in the best interests of the
citizens of Indian River County, Florida, and protects the public interest served by the statutes
and regulations at issue, and should therefore be approved.
1
RESOLUTION NO. 2010- 038
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, THAT
1. Recitals.
2. Findings.
the following findings:
The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein.
The Board of County Commissioners hereby determines and makes
a. The Settlement, as set forth in the Settlement Documents, is in the best
interests of the citizens of Indian River County, Florida;
b. The amendments to the Development Order and Developer's Agreement
pertaining to Waterway Village, as reflected in the Settlement Documents, do not
constitute a "substantial deviation" to the previously approved development within the
meaning of §380.06(19), Florida Statutes. Specifically, the changes relate primarily to
timing and local issues. With the changes, there will be no increase in the total number
of units proposed, no additional adverse environmental impacts, no increases in project
intensity and no decreases in compatibility. Because the changes do not constitute a
substantial deviation and will not create a regional impact, the changes may be approved
locally;
c. The Board does not believe that the Settlement would have the effect of a
modification, variance, or a special exception to the application of a rule, regulation, or
ordinance, as it would otherwise apply to the Waterway Village real property (other than
possibly the timing of payment of certain impact fees and capacity charges), or would
have the effect of contravening the application of a statute as it would otherwise apply to
the Waterway Village real property. However, in an abundance of caution, and to
facilitate settlement of the Bert Harris Claim, the Board finds that the relief set forth in
the Settlement and Settlement Documents protects the public interest served by the
regulations and statutes at issue, including, without limitation, Chapter 910 (Concurrency
Management System) of the IRC Land Development Regulations, Chapter 1000 of the
IRC Code, and Chapters 163 and 380, Florida Statutes, and is the appropriate relief
necessary to prevent the governmental regulatory effort from inordinately burdening the
Waterway Village real property. Specifically,
(i) the primary elements of the relief granted to Waterway Village are
(a) traffic capacity (but not other components of capacity, as set forth in Chapter
910 of the IRC Land Development Regulations and Chapter 1000 of the IRC
Code), including traffic capacity created by DiVosta's improvements to 53rd
Street and 58th Avenue (discussed below), is and will be available for Waterway
Village through an agreed schedule for buildout of the development, and (b) the
agreed schedule for buildout of the development is extended based in part upon
§380.06 (19)(c), Florida Statutes, and judicial tolling resulting from the Lawsuit;
2
RESOLUTION NO. 2010- 038
(ii) another element of the relief is that DiVosta will advance
construction of a portion of 53rd Street. This street is a major roadway in the
Traffic Element of the County's Comprehensive Plan. Advancement of its
construction will increase traffic capacity within Indian River County;
(iii) another element of the relief is that DiVosta will advance
improvement of 58th Avenue from a two-lane to a four -lane roadway between 49th
Street and 53rd Street. Fifty -Eighth Avenue is a major roadway in the Traffic
Element of the County's Comprehensive Plan. Advancement of this
improvement will increase traffic capacity within Indian River County;
(iv) another element of the relief is that DiVosta will pay certain traffic
impact fees on or before December 31, 2015, which is an earlier date in time
compared to the payment schedule if DiVosta were to win the lawsuit. The
earlier paid fees will be paid into the County's Traffic Impact Fee Fund, which is
used to pay the cost of improvements which increase the capacity of the roadway
system within Indian River County;
(v) each of the capacities and increased capacities described above
will protect the public interest served by the regulations and statutes at issue.
Without limitation, such capacities will help achieve the Transportation Element
Goal as set forth in the County's Comprehensive Plan; and
(vi) the relief granted is the appropriate relief necessary to prevent the
County's position from inordinately burdening the Waterway Village real
property, because traffic capacity will be available through the extended buildout
of the development.
3. Approval of Settlement. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Board approves
the Settlement, as set forth in the Settlement Documents. Specifically, the Board (a) approves
the Settlement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "A", (b) acknowledges approval of the
amendments set forth in the Amended and Restated Development Order, Resolution 2010- ,
attached to the Settlement Agreement as Exhibit "A", and (c) approves the amendments set forth
in the Amended Developer's Agreement, attached to the Settlement Agreement as Exhibit "B".
4. County Approval/Effective Date of Settlement. The Board acknowledges that
the Settlement includes settlement of the Bert Harris Claim. As set forth above, the Board does
not believe that the Settlement would have the effect of a modification, variance, or a special
exception to the application of a rule, regulation, or ordinance, as it would otherwise apply to the
Waterway Village real property (other than possibly the timing of payment of certain impact fees
and capacity charges), or would have the effect of contravening the application of a statute as it
would otherwise apply to the Waterway Village real property. However, in an abundance of
caution, the Board has determined that the Settlement and Settlement Documents should be
approved by the Circuit Court, as set forth in §70.001(4)(d), Florida Statutes. The effective date
of the Settlement and Settlement Documents shall be the date of such court approval, and
3
RESOLUTION NO. 2010- 038
conclusion of all appeals, if any. If, for any reason, a final Circuit Court approval of the
Settlement and Settlement Documents is not obtained, then the approval set forth in this
resolution, together with the Settlement and the Settlement Documents, shall be null and void.

EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the
day of , 2010 by and between INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, a political
subdivision of the State of Florida ("IRC"), and DIVOSTA HOMES, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("DiVosta").
RECITALS:
A. On November 9, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners of IRC approved by
Resolution 2004-137 a Development Order for a 1596 unit Development of Regional Impact known
as Waterway Village (as amended to date, the "Development Order"). On December 13, 2005, the
Board of County Commissioners approved a Developer's Agreement with DiVosta for Waterway
Village (the "Developer's Agreement"), which Developer's Agreement provided for
implementation of various terms in the Development Order.
B. Concurrency Certificates were issued in March of 2006 for 733 units within
Waterway Village Phases 1A, 1B, 1C and Phase IIA. A controversy arose with IRC when it took the
position that all "development orders" and "development permits," as defined in Chapter 163.3164
(7) and (8), were subject to the concurrency requirements of Chapter 163.3180 of the Florida
Statutes, and therefore each new phase of Waterway Village must be tested for concurrency prior to
approval of such phase.
C. DiVosta takes the position that the entire Development of Regional Impact for
Waterway Village (the "DRI") was vested for purposes of concurrency, among other reasons, by
virtue of language in Florida Statutes Section 163.3167(8) and in Indian River County Land
Development Code Section 910.03(5), which are substantially similar.
D. On January 31, 2007, DiVosta filed a Complaint in the Circuit Court of Indian River
County, Florida under Case No. 20070109 CA19 (the "Lawsuit"), seeking, among other things, a
declaration of its rights that the DRI was vested in its entirety for traffic concurrency, and DiVosta
has made a claim under the Bert J. Harris Private Property Rights Protection Act (the "Bert Harris
Claim").
E. IRC and DiVosta have worked in good faith to resolve these disputes and have agreed
to do so pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in this Settlement Agreement.
RM:663 7905:1 1
1
F. This Agreement is being entered into pursuant to authority under the County's Home
Rule Powers, County Codes, and State Statutes, specifically including Florida Statutes Chapter 70
(The Bert J. Harris, Jr., Private Property Rights Protection Act).
G. The parties do not believe that the Settlement (as defined below) will have the effect
of a modification, variance, or a special exception to the application of a rule, regulation, or
ordinance, as it would otherwise apply to the Waterway Village real property (other than possibly
the timing of payment of certain impact fees and capacity charges), or would have the effect of
contravening the application of a statute as it would otherwise apply to the Waterway Village real
property. However, in an abundance of caution and to facilitate settlement of the Bert Harris Claim,
IRC and DiVosta acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement (i) shall protect the public
interest served by the regulations at issue and is the appropriate relief necessary to prevent the
regulatory effort from inordinately burdening the Waterway Village property, and (ii) shall protect
and benefit the public interest.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing mutual covenants and agreements
contained in this Settlement Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, DiVosta and IRC, intending to be legally bound,
agree as follows:

by reference.

arising from the matters alleged in the Lawsuit and the Bert Harris Claim, as applicable. In the event

and ineffective and the parties hereto shall be returned to their respective legal positions prior to
entering into this Settlement Agreement.
