The Oak Forest Wall and Beautification District Advisory Board is proposing additional im-
provement that will result in an increase of the yearly maintenance assessments.
Q: Wby is this project being proposed?
A: These improvements represent an important part of the
Advisory Board's plan to increase property values by
enhancing the image that Oak Forest presents to the
market place. As you probably know, property values
increased dramatically following the completion of the
initial improvements which included construction of
the wall on Tuskawilla Road and landscaping.
Q: What improvement are being proposed?
A: The Board proposes to install new landscaping that
will greatly enhance the beauty of the wall along
Tuskawilla Road. They also propose to install new
irrigation along the wall to preserve both new and
existing plant material.
Q: Will I have the opportunity to provide input
on this proposal?
A: Yes. All property owners are invited to attend
the Public Hearings that have been scheduled by
the City Commission. Property owners are en-
couraged to share their comments at these Public
Hearings.
Q: What is a Benefit Unit?
A: Oak Forest Wall and Beautification District assessments
have three tiers based upon benefits received by the
improvement as follows:
Tier 1=1.00 Benefit Units for Beautification.
Tier 2 =1.10 Benefit Units for Beautification and Road
Noise Reduction.
Tier 3 =1.25 Benefit Units For Beautification, Road Noise
Reduction, and Public Safety.
• Benefit units are factored by your
property s proximity to the wall.

nance assessment increasing 516.82 per year or
