§ 19-51. Findings.

It is hereby ascertained, determined and declared that:

(a)

Numerous residential lots as identified in Appendix A, attached to the ordinance from which this section derives, are located on a common canal or seawall system.

(b)

In order to maintain water access and property values, maintenance in the common canal or seawall system will be necessary.

(c)

The Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners finds that the most equitable method of providing such funding is through the creation of a Grand Navarre Canal Maintenance Municipal Service Benefit Unit (Unit) to include the properties described in the Appendix A attached to the ordinance from which this section derives.

The unit will utilize assessments to insure that all property owners benefiting from the canal and seawall maintenance shall fund the complete cost of such maintenance.

Santa Rosa County is authorized by F.S. chs. 125 and 197, to implement the provisions of this article.
