BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
The developer, Firelight Community Development District (CDD), whose address is 5800 Lakewood Ranch Blvd., Sarasota, FL, 34240 is currently developing property located within Charlotte County and Charlotte County Utilities’ service area. The developed property includes a residential subdivision (Firelight) “PROJECT”, which will require certain off-site improvements to the County’s water and sewer transmission systems to connect the project to the County’s water and sewer system.
CDD has agreed to construct off-site water and sewer transmission system improvements needed to connect Developer’s property to County’s water and sewer system.
The County has requested CDD increase the size of the sewer and potable water transmission lines, beyond the size required to service the project, to accommodate future County needs. The County desires to reimburse CDD for the cost of oversizing the sewer and potable water transmission lines.
The Board discussed the cost share project at 06.11.2024 BCC meeting and approved Utilities to move forward with Off-Site Utilities Agreement.
