Yesterday ITID residents received a notification of a new bond debt for their taxes. This is for the R-3 Road Plan which has taken 5 years to get to finalizing. This plan includes the roads serving all ITID residents to get to schools, parks, ITID facilities and Fire rescue.
Roads included are
1. 180th Avenue from 60th to 94th,
2. Tangerine from Mandarin to 60th St N,
3. 60th St N from Mandarin to 180th,
3. Hamlin west of 180th,
4. 140th Avenue from Orange to 60th,
5. Tangerine from 140th to Avocado,
6. 61st from 140th to Avocado,
7. 162nd in front of Loxahatchee Groves Elementary,
8. Hamlin and 89th from Hall East serving the Hamlin House and Nicole Hornstein Park,
9. 180th from W. Alan Black to Sycamore Blvd.
The Plan also includes traffic calming for both the R-3 Roads and R-2 Roads set out in the mobility plan.
For residents paying the R-2 Road debt on your taxes, that debt will end this year and be replaced with the R-3 Road debt which is less.
There have been many public notices for input from residents through the past 5 years of it’s development. The development of the plan was from direct input from the residents and problem areas due to school traffic, park traffic, fire rescue and ITID. It is significant to point out that each of these roads could not be properly addressed without this road plan. We could have done 5 separate amendments to units but that was not equitable for the units the roads were in to carry the burden of cost and maintenance while all residents were either directly or indirectly benefiting from these roads serving parks, schools, ITID facilities and fire rescue. Please note that during the planning there were many roads residents asked to be addressed that did not meet the criteria and were not included in this plan at this time. All past meetings are available on our website under videos of meetings and minutes. All statutory requirements for this plan have been met.
The notice you received is the last notification to add the R3 Plan to the tax assessment roll for 2023.
The link below is the Engineer’s report which includes the plan. The actual cost of the plan is significantly less than the Engineer estimated. The benefits to the plan far exceeds the cost.
Please don’t confuse this plan with the proposed 2023 budget that was presented on Wednesday or with millings projects which fall under maintenance. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
