As such, I would like to request that the Board adopt the following proclamation.

Ultimately, mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunity.

School Board Attorney - Consent Subject 1. Request for Approval and Recording of the Amended Access Easement Agreement Pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Twin Creeks DRI School Concurrency Proportionate Share Payment and School Siting Agreement Meeting Jan 10, 2023 - REGULAR SCHOOL BOARD MEETING Category K. School Board Attorney - Consent Type Action (Consent) Background Information: On August 9, 2005, the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners approved the Twin Creeks Development of Regional Impact (DRI) Resolution 2005-208. The DRI included approvals for 3,000 multi-family residential units, 2,000 single family residential units, 600,000 SF of retail uses, 300,000 SF of office uses, 175 hotel rooms and 2,000,000 SF of light industrial. In 2014, due to market changes and a separation in ownership, the DRI was divided into two pieces. The total development in the portion owned by South Jacksonville Properties, LLC and Twin Creek Ventures, LLC was revised to include 1,030 multi-family residential units, 1,250 single family residential units, 989,000 SF of retail uses, 700,000 SF of office uses, 120 hotel rooms and 1,950,000 SF of flex industrial uses. In 2015, based on the estimated student generation of 896 students, the developer agreed to contribute total mitigation in the amount of $22,270,627. This mitigation was comprised of the donation of land and the payment of proportionate share mitigation ($3,572 per unit) at the time of construction plan approval. The land donation included three sites for schools and ancillary uses. These sites are as follows: one K-8 school site of 43 acres, one high school site of 74 acres and one ancillary transportation facility site of 10 acres. The detail of the mitigation process is set forth in the Twin Creeks School Proportionate Share and School Siting Agreement. On September 12, 2018, the agreement was further amended to change the residential units to include age-restricted units, which reduced the number of traditional student-generating dwelling units. The maximum number of units that were not age-restricted, consistent with the standard of a 30-year irrevocable covenants, is 1,736 units (1,106 single family and 630 multi-family). Based on this maximum unit count, the traditional dwelling units were expected to generate 739.1 students. The resulting mitigation for these students was $20,910,736. The development received credits for future taxes and land donations, which brought the total mitigation due to $3,469,324. To date, the developer has paid $4,022,072. Therefore, no additional mitigation payments were due based on the revised development scenario. These changes were memorialized in the First Amendment to the Twin Creeks DRI School Concurrency Proportionate Share Payment and School Siting Agreement. The developer then requested to increase the traditional student-generating residential units by 388 multi-family units. The estimated students generated by these units would be 85.4. The total mitigation for these units equals $1,627,093. However, the developer had a credit of $552,749 from previous mitigation payments. Therefore, the required mitigation would be $1,074,345 or $2,769 per unit. These changes are memorialized in the Second Amendment to the Twin Creeks DRI School Concurrency Proportionate Share Payment and School Siting Agreement. District staff and the developer of Twin Creeks negotiated for years to better configure and locate the ancillary transportation site. The Board approved the Third Amendment to the Twin Creeks DRI Proportionate Share and School Siting Agreement which calls for the District to convey back to the developer a portion of the existing ancillary transportation site in exchange for a 2.59 acre larger parcel. The exchange would expand the parcel from 10.19 to 12.78 acres. The reconfigured and expanded parcel will substantially improve access to Alternate CR 210, and allow more efficient use of the parcel. The District staff and developer propose to use the previously established proportionate share formula for Twin Creeks, in giving a $111,239 per acre credit for each acre conveyed to the District. At 2.59 acres, this equals a credit of $288,109. The District has sufficient unapplied Proportionate Share Payment funds from the Twin Creeks developer to return $288,109 in exchange for the substantially better site. This is essentially revenue neutral, because it exchanges one form of mitigation for another. At its regular School Board meeting of December 14, 2021, the Board authorized the exchange of parcels and funds contemplated in the Third Amendment, provided that staff and the School Board Attorney are satisfied after final due diligence that the exchange may take place. These attached Agreements and Easements facilitate the already approved exchange of parcels. The July 19, 2022, School Board Workshop addressed the agreements. On August 9, 2022, the School Board approved the agreements and deed, and authorized recording of the deed and agreements substantially in the forms presented. The deed and agreements were recorded, and the transaction occurred consistently with the Third Amendment. The Amended Access Easement Agreement must be recorded to reflect access to the ancillary transportation facility as reconfigured by the property exchange. This agreement was drafted and reviewed by School Board Attorney Sidney F. Ansbacher. Educational Impact: Approval and recording of the Amended Access Easement Agreement pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Twin Creeks DRI School Concurrency Proportionate Share and School Siting Agreement is part of the school mitigation provided by the Twin Creeks DRI (South Jacksonville Properties, LLC). It will also allow the District to continue to provide appropriate educational facilities with reduced overcrowding and thus, a better educational experience for students throughout the District. Strategic Plan Impact: Supports the District's Mission Statement by providing appropriate educational facilities and resources to help inspire good character and a passion for lifelong learning in all students, creating educated and caring contributors to the world. Fiscal Impact: The Amended Access Easement Agreement pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Twin Creeks DRI School Concurrency Proportionate Share Payment and School Siting Agreement will require ultimate payment yet to be determined as a result of the location of the access easement allowing the District to expand, reconfigure and improve the usefulness of its ancillary transportation site to Twin Creeks. Recommendation: Approval and recording of the Amended Access Easement Agreement, substantially in the form presented, pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Twin Creeks DRI School Concurrency Proportionate Share Payment and School Siting Agreement.
