REQUEST:
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Agenda Item is to request the City Commission validate the
staff recommendation finding Orange A venue to be built in substantial accordance
with the Final Engineering plans, to accept the public infrastructure, and to
authorize reimbursement to Levitt & Sons in the amount of$835,572 for the
design and construction of Orange A venue per the Developer's Agreement.
CONSIDERATIONS:
y At the March 27, 2006 City Commission meeting, the Commission appropriated funding
in the amount of $821,382, plus a 10% contingency for a total of $903,520, to reimburse
Levitt & Sons for the design and construction of Orange A venue from Tuskawilla Road
to the proposed Jesup's Landing subdivision. The project is now complete and the total
amount eligible for reimbursement is $835,572.
y At the February 28, 2005 City Commission meeting, the Commission approved a
Developer's Agreement with Barclay Woods II, LLC (Barclay Woods) for the
development of the Jesup's Landing project, located on the south side of Orange Avenue,
immediately east of Central Winds Park. Jesup's Landing is a 185-unit townhome
development that is currently under construction.
y After the Developer's Agreement between the City and Barclay Woods was approved,
Barclay Woods sold the Jesup's Landing property to Levitt & Sons. The Developer's
Agreement is bound to the property and therefore Levitt has assumed responsibility for
Barclay Woods' obligations under the Developer's Agreement.
