local self-government to perform municipal functions and to render municipal services

legislation in the form of City ordinances.
(B) The City Commission may exercise any goverrunental, corporate, or
proprietary power for a municipal purpose except when expressly prohibited by law, and
the City Commission may legislate on any subject matter on which the Legislature may
act, except those subjects described in (a), (b), (c),. and (d) of Section 166.021(3), Florida
Statutes. The subject matter of paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (d) of Section 166.021(3),

Improvements within the City.
(C) The City Conninission has enacted the Ordinance to provide for the creation
of Assessment Areas (as defined in the Ordinance) and authorize the imposition of
Assessments to find (1) the construction of Local Improvements to benefit the real
property located therein, and (2) the cost of operating and maintaining Local
]improvements.
(D) The City Commission desires to create the Barrington Capital and
Maintenance Assess,inent Area as an Assessment luea under the Ordinance to fund the
Capital Cost and Maintenance Cost of the Barrington Local Improvements. The
Barrington Local Improvements constitute a Local Improvement as defined in the
Ordinance and the Maintenance Cost constitutes the Operating Cost of Related Services,

(E) The Assessment Area includes only Platted Lots zoned for single-family
residential use. None of the real property located within the Assessment Area is used for
multi -family residential, commercial or other uses.
(F) Construction and Maintenance of the Barrington Local Improvements will
provide a special benefit to all Platted Lots located within the Assessment Area by
improving and enhancing the exterior subdivision boundaries, the interior subdivision
areas, the subdivision identity and the subdivision aesthetics and safety, thus einlnan.cing
the value, use and enjoyment of such real property. Due to their use, Public Use Parcels
8
will not derive a special benefit from construction and Maintenance of the Barrington
Local Improvements.
(G) Each Platted Lot within the Assessment Area will derive the same special
benefit from construction and Maintenance of the Barrington Local Improvements.
Accordingly, it is fair and reasonable to apportion the Project Cost and the Maintenance
Cost of the Barrington Local Improvements equally among each Platted Lot within
Assessment Area.
(H) In order to reduce the financial .unpact the Capital Assessments will have
on the real property owners in the Assessment Area, the City has decided to provide a 10-
year internal loan to the real property owners for their share of the Project Cost for all.
parcels. Interest will. be charged each year based on. the City Investment Rate. The City
has decided that the maximum interest rate that will be charged is six percent (6%) per
year.
(I) The City Commission hereby finds and determines that the Assessments, to
be imposed in accordance with this Resolution, provide an equitable method of funding
the construction and. Maintenance of the Barrington Local Improvements by fairly and
reasonably allocating the cost based on the special benefit derived by the real property, in
the manner hereinafter described.

Barrington Capital and Maintenance Assessment Area
Dear Property Owner:
The City of Longwood is considering creation of the Barrington Capital and
Maintenance Assessment Area to impose special assessments to fund the construction of
the planting bed, landscaping and maintenance costs of the Barrington Subdivision Wall,
irrigation, lighting, signage and other related improvements within the Assessment Area.
The assessment for each parcel of real property will be based on the number of platted
lots attributable to each parcel of real property within the proposed Barrington Capital
and Maintenance Assessment Area. A more specific description of the improvements
and the method of computing the assessment for each parcel of real property are set forth
in the Initial Assessment Resolution adopted by the City Commission on April 16, 2007.
Copies of the Initial Assessment Resolution and the preliminary Assessment Roll are
available for inspection at City Hall, located at 175 West Warren Avenue, Longwood,
Florida. Information regarding the assessment for your specific real property is attached
to this letter.
The City intends to include annual assessments on your ad valorem tax bill with
the first payment on the bill to be mailed in October or November 2007. The capital
portion of the assessments will be collected over a period of 10 years. Failure to pay your
assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the real property which may
result in a loss of title. The City Commission will hold a public hearing at 7:00 P.M., or
as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard, on May 7, 2007, at City Hall located at 175
