BACKGROUND:
Background
The applicant, Osteen Acquisitions Group, LLC, is requesting approval to establish the Hickory Lakes Community Development District (CDD) pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, for approximately 194.06 acres located south of Enterprise Osteen Road and west of SR 415. The CDD would serve as a self-financing entity to fund, construct, operate, and maintain infrastructure and amenities necessary to support the development, including roads, stormwater systems, utilities, landscaping, parks, and recreational facilities, with an estimated cost of $15,895,000. The City will not be responsible for any CDD debt, and infrastructure may be dedicated to the City subject to review and acceptance.
This request is limited to the establishment of the CDD as a financing and governance mechanism and does not constitute approval of the development itself. Establishment of the CDD is a legislative action, and staff has determined the criteria of Section 190.005, Florida Statues, have been met. Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 08-2026 at first reading.
