NOTICE OF REGULAR MEETING OF THE GROVE RESORT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
The Grove Resort Community Development District Board of Supervisors (“Board”) will hold public hearings on July 20, 2021, at 10:00 A.M., in the Duval Conference Room at 14501 Grove Resort Avenue, Winter Garden, FL, 34787, to consider the adoption of an assessment roll, the imposition of special assessments to secure proposed bonds on benefited lands within the Grove Resort Community Development District (“District”), such lands referred to as “Phase 2 (Building 4),” a depiction of which lands to be assessed is shown below, and to provide for the levy, collection, and enforcement of the special assessments. The streets and areas to be improved are depicted below and in the District's First Amendment to Engineer's Report, dated June 8, 2021 (“Capital Improvement Plan”). The public hearing is being conducted pursuant to Chapters 170, 190, and 197, Florida Statutes. A description of the property to be assessed and the amount to be assessed to each piece or parcel of property may be ascertained at the District's Records Office located at 12051 Corporate Boulevard, Orlando, Florida 32817, (407) 382-3256.
The District is a unit of special-purpose local government responsible for providing infrastructure improvements for lands within the District. The infrastructure improvements (“Improvements”) are currently expected to include, but are not limited to, entry features and signage, stormwater facilities, water and sewer facilities, landscaping, recreational facilities, parking facilities, and roadways, all as more specifically described in the Capital Improvement Plan, on file and available during normal business hours at the addresses provided above.
The District intends to impose assessments on benefited lands within the Phase 2 (Building 4) in the manner set forth in the District's First Amendment to the Master Assessment Methodology Report dated June 8, 2021 (“Assessment Report”), which is on file and available during normal business hours at the addresses provided above. The Assessment Report contains a listing of each tax parcel identification number located within Phase 2 (Building 4), the total assessment to be levied against each parcel, and the method of allocation of the Assessments. The unit of measurement for allocation of the assessments is the Equivalent Residential Unit (“ERU”). Each multifamily unit planned for Phase 2 (Building 4) has been assigned an ERU value of 0.99 per unit. The assessments will initially be determined on an equal assessment per acre basis for undeveloped lands; provided, however, that at the time parcels receive a certificate of occupancy from Orange County, the assessments on undeveloped land will be assigned to those parcels on an ERU basis.
The annual principal assessment levied against each parcel will be based on repayment over a maximum of thirty (30) years for the total debt allocated to each parcel. The District expects to collect sufficient revenues to retire no more than $4,900,000.00 in debt to be assessed by the District, exclusive of fees and costs of collection or enforcement, discounts for early payment and interest. The proposed schedule of assessments is as follows:
Undeveloped Acre $76,275 Per Year / $909,091 Principal Amount*
[Phase 2 (Building 4) multi-family unit.] $1,343.28 Per Year / $17,405.54 Principal Amount*
*Principal amount as stated does not include fees and costs of collection or enforcement, early payment discounts, or interest.
The assessments may be prepaid in whole at any time, or in some instances in part, or may be paid in not more than thirty (30) annual installments subsequent to the issuance of debt to finance the improvements. The assessments may appear on your regular tax bill issued by the Orange County Tax Collector. However, the District may in its discretion at any time choose instead to directly collect and enforce these assessments. All affected property owners have the right to appear at the public hearing and the right to file written objections with the District within twenty (20) days of the publication of this notice.
Also on July 20, 2021, at 10:00 A.M., at _______________________________, Winter Garden, Florida 34787, the Board will hold a public meeting to consider business that may lawfully be considered by the District.
