13486   December 1, 2017, communication from Berry Leonard requesting full lien release for 25 East Devane Street and 120 West Johnson Avenue.

Recommendation: That the Board review and consider the lien relief requests made by Berry Leonard, owner of both properties, against properties 25 East Devane Street and 120 West Johnson Avenue.

On August 21, 2014, the Board amended the "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" Policy, Section III, H2. Staff was instructed to review all requests for forgiveness of Environmental (Code) Enforcement Liens to determine if the request met the criteria for forgiveness and allowing the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf if set criteria are met.

After reviewing the request for forgiveness of liens, staff made the determination that the request does not fall within any of the criteria that would allow the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf and grant relief, in accordance with the Board's Policy, "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" Policy, Section III, H2.

Mr. Leonard made a written request for lien relief in December 2017. His request is for a full release of liens on both properties located at 25 East Devane Street and 120 West Johnson Avenue. Current Board's Policy does not allow the County Administrator to provide this type of relief.

10. 13467   5:32 p.m. Public Hearing for consideration of adopting an Ordinance creating the Saverna Park Subdivision Street Lighting MSBU.

Recommendation: That the Board take the following action concerning the Saverna Park Subdivision Street Lighting Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU):

A. Ratify the scheduling of a Public Hearing on January 18, 2018, at 5:32 p.m., to consider adoption of an Ordinance creating the Saverna Park Street Lighting MSBU. Per Board action on 9/7/2017, staff was directed to bring the Saverna Park MSBU request back to the Board. The assessments have been revised from an estimated $250 to $120 per year. The first year's total assessment will cover roughly 21 months or an estimated $222 per property, due to the timing of establishing the MSBU; and

B. Adopt, and authorize the Chairman to sign, the Ordinance and all related documents creating the Saverna Park Subdivision Street Lighting MSBU, with an estimated on-going assessment of $120 after a first-year estimated assessment of $222, covering approximately 21 months, and make the following findings of fact:

(1) Lots in the District are specially benefited since street lighting not only increases the market value of an individual Lot, but also increases safety in the District surrounding individual Lots and the ability of Lot owners to use their individual Lots after dark;

(2) The benefit from improved street lighting varies according to the relative size of the affected Lots. Residential Lots benefit from improved street lighting uniformly because of the small variation in size throughout the District;

(3) The non-ad valorem special assessments levied represent a fair and reasonable apportionment of the cost of the special benefit received by each lot and do not represent a fair share of the cost of general governmental service provided to residents in the unincorporated areas of Escambia County; and

(4) Lots which do not receive a special benefit have been and shall be excluded from the non-ad valorem special assessment for street lighting.
