Executed G. Harvey development agreement — recorded March 2021

What the record says#

• The agreement identifies the G. Harvey PD Project, approximately 531 acres, RZ18-04 and Ordinance 2020-3, with the February 11, 2020 rezoning approval and April/May hearings.

  PDF page 1

• The historical program has four phases, a maximum of 482 single-family dwellings and commercial uses, gross residential density of 1.13 units per acre, a 0.18 floor-area ratio, and stated residential/commercial height limits of 35/45 feet.

  PDF page 2

• The agreement describes Phase 1 septic service with collection lines installed for later connection, and public sewer or an on-site treatment system for subsequent phases. These are historical obligations, not a description of today’s operating system.

  PDF pages 3, 7, 8, 9, 10

• It identifies earlier SFWMD permit references and lists further county, utility, environmental and transportation permits required. The list does not dispense with other applicable permitting requirements.

  PDF page 4

• The developer must provide the described road improvements and right of way, including the Phase 1 left-turn lane. Internal roads are to be owned and maintained by the property owners association; county construction/maintenance obligations are excluded under the stated terms.

  PDF pages 5, 6, 7

• The phased infrastructure provisions call for completed required improvements or financial assurance of 125% of their construction cost before final plat approval. They do not establish that an assurance was posted or its dollar amount.

  PDF pages 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

• The master-association provisions address common facilities, roads, utilities, maintenance and mandatory owner participation after platting. They are historical agreement requirements, not the full text of the later recorded HOA declarations.

  PDF pages 14, 15

• The term is thirty years with stated extension conditions; amendment, periodic review, notice and cure provisions follow. These contractual remedies do not report a breach or county enforcement finding.

  PDF pages 15, 16, 17

• Section 20 binds the property and successors and addresses county approval of assignments. Section 21 says effectiveness requires full execution and recording. The signature page is dated May 12, 2020; the county stamp is March 15, 2021.

  PDF page 18

• Exhibit A describes the predecessor tract and excludes a road strip, expressly referencing deed book/page 307/943. The last page carries a March 5, 2021 handwritten notation; it is not substituted for the agreement or recording date.

  PDF pages 19, 20

How to read this record#

This is the executed, recorded version of the earlier agreement, supplementing the previously cited May 2020 agenda packet. Later Lakefront approvals and utility records must be read separately; the 482-home program is not the current approved or built-home count.

The recorded obligations do not prove construction, payment, financial-assurance posting, current enforcement or continuing effect of each historical term after later approvals. The different execution and recording dates are preserved without a legal conclusion about compliance with the recording clause.

The November 1 follow-up leads folder supplied seventeen candidate PDFs with ninety-three pages. The download log marked identity and relevance pending; local checksum, page-stamp and source-page review retained sixteen instruments with eighty-six pages, including predecessor-land records, and excluded a seven-page SFWMD regional test-well bond from the Lakefront register. The original download log is preserved; normalized extraction indexes were generated locally. Selected Harvey, contractor and Lakefront legal-description searches expand the earlier name-search collection; they are not a complete title or court search. The supplied captures retain an October 28 verification cutoff.

Figures supported by this document#

Signed Ordinance 2022-11 renamed and expanded it as Lakefront Estates on January 23, 2023.
• After review of both November 1 additions, the register contains 283 instruments: 282 available PDFs with 1,266 pages and one unavailable judgment represented only by its county index. The later leads folder adds sixteen instruments with eighty-six pages; one seven-page regional test-well bond is excluded from the project register.
