PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R16-049 Approve and authorize signing of an Agreement for Water Service outside the City Limits with Lennar Homes, LLC (Flavor Pict Townhomes) for the properties  5300 Flavor Pict Road, 5450 Flavor Pict Road, and another unnamed parcel on Flavor Pict Road.  The parcels are in the process of platting for a proposed development of 218 townhomes.

The property covered by this Agreement is located in the unincorporated Palm Beach County outside of the City limits in our SW water service area, west of Military Trail on Flavor Pict Road.

The property historically is vacant land with agricultural related structures that receive water from wells.

The City is able to provide water to the area.  The owner agrees to be responsible for all costs to provide service to the individual townhomes.  No additional construction is required by the City to service this property.

Customers outside the City limits pay an additional 25% surcharge above the water rates charged to customers within the City.

Deny request to provide service.  If service is denied the Consumptive Use Permit could be subject to modification.  The Utility Department is granted water allocation under the South Florida Water Management District Consumptive Use Permit.  The current permit has limited restriction #19 that states "The Permittee shall notify the District within 30 days of any change in the service area boundary.  If the Permittee will not serve a new demand within the service area for which the annual allocation was calculated, the annual allocation may then be subject to modification and reduction." Although it is highly unlikely that refusal to serve one property would trigger modification or reduction of the annual allocation, this provision should be noted.
