ITEM NO. (ID # 4826)
DATE: 11/21/2017
AGENDA REQUEST *CONSENT AGENDA\COUNTY
ATTORNEY
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Chapter 2003-365, Laws of Florida, property owners may petition the Board to expand the
Mosquito Control District boundaries to add their property. The developer, Minto Townpark, LLC, and
property owners in Lakepark at Tradition, Plats 1 and 2, have submitted petitions seeking to expand the
boundaries of the District to add the subdivision. The subdivision is composed of three hundred sixty-nine
(369) lots, including the common areas. The developer still owns the majority of the lots and its petitions
covers two hundred eight (208) lots. In addition, fifty-eight (58) petitions were received from individual
property owners. Accordingly, the petitions represent two hundred sixty-six (266) lots, or approximately
80% of the total property within the subdivision. In addition, the developer has also submitted a petition
to add an adjacent unplatted parcel containing 107.989 acres, more or less.
The special act requires the Board to hold a public hearing on the requested expansion following
verification of that the property subject to the petition are adjacent to the existing boundaries of the
District. Staff has verified that Lake Park at Tradition Plats 1 and 2 and the unplatted parcel are adjacent
to the existing District boundaries.
The special act provides that if the Board approves the petitions following a public hearing, the property
will be added only if approved by a majority of the qualified electors in the affected area voting in a
referendum called for such purposes. In the past the Board has waived the referendum requirement
when all of the affected property owners submitted petitions for the expansion. As there is only one
owner of the unplatted parcel, staff recommends the Board hold the public hearing but waive the
referendum requirement for the parcel. As that is not the case with Lake Park, it will be necessary to
proceed with the referendum if the petitions are approved by the Board following the public hearing.
Given the relatively small number of ballots required, the Supervisor of Elections will use the mail in ballot
process to conduct the referendum.
