ARTICLE ll


DESCRIPTION OF BELLA COLLINA

Section1. GENERAL PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT. Bella Collina comprises the Committed Property encompassing, or which will encompass, Lots, Association Property, Club Property, publicly dedicated property, and property conveyed to the CDD, as more particularly defined by these CC&Rs and, in addition, lands whicJ1 Declarant may add, but shall in no way be obligated to add, by one or more Supplemental Declaration(s). The property initially declared in the Initial Declaration together with the Additional Property being added and subjected to these CC&Rs as set forth in this First Supplemental Declaration as the Committed Property is described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto (more particularly described as all of the lands subject to the Plats of Bella Collina East and Be11a Co1lina West). The Committed Property is planned to contain eight hundred one (801) Lots to contain Homes in accordance with these CC&Rs. However, Declarant has reserved the right to modify its plan of development of Bella Collina and to add ]and to Bella Collina, and, therefore, the number of Lots within Bella Collina may change. Dec1arant's general plan of development further contemplates that Homes to be built on the Lots shall be whatever types of structures Declarant may designate which are in conformance with these CC&Rs. Declarant's general plan of development of Bella Collina may also include

Page 18

whatever facilities and amenities Declarant considers in its sole judgment to be appropriate to Bella Collina.

Additional Property will become a part of Bdla Collina if, and only if, Declarant in its sole discretion adds Addi6onal Property to Bella Collina by recording a Supplemental Declaration to such effect. Declarant hereby reserves an easement for ingress and egress and for utilities and drainage over the Committed Property for the benefit of any Additional Property; provided, however, no such easement may be granted upon any portion of the Committed Property upon which a Home exists.

Declarant expressly reserves the right as to the Committed Property to (i) commence construction and development of the Committed Property if and when Declarant desires; (ii) develop the Committed Property upon such timetable as Declarant, in its sole discretion, chooses; and (iii) modify the plan of development of the Committed Property in such manner as it, in its sole discretion, chooses. Declarant reserves the right to replat such portions of the Committed Property necessary to accomplish the modification of the plan of development. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as obligating Declarant to construct Bella Collina according to the present plan of development nor as obligating Declarant to declare any Additional Property to be Committed Property.

Declarant intends that certain Homes constructed on the Committed Property may by action of Declarant (joined by the Owners thereof, if other than Declarant at the time of such action) be grouped together in Neighborhoods which will generally be administered by the Association, but in some instances may be administered by Neighborhood Associations. For example, and by way of illustration and not limitation, each condominium, townhome development, patio home development, and detached housing development may constitute a separate Neighborhood. Neighborhood Associations, if created, shall assess their members for their Neighborhood Expenses and shall also be responsible for collecting their share of Operating Expenses under these CC&Rs, unless the Association determines otherwise. When Neighborhoods are administered by the Association, the cost of managing a Neighborhood shall be home by the Owners in such Neighborhood as part of the Neighborhood Expenses.

When the context permits or requires. the term Neighborhood shall also refer to the "Neighborhood Committee" (a group of up to five people elected by the Owners in a Neighborhood without a formal association in such Neighborhood and established in accordance with the Bylaws) or Neighborhood Association having jurisdiction over the Committed Property v.rithin the applicable Neighborhood. It shall not be necessary for any Neighborhood to be governed by an additional owners association except in the case of a condominium or as otherwise required by law.

The Association is not a condominium association and therefore shall not be governed by the provisions of Chapter 718, Florida Statutes. These CC&Rs are not a declaration of condominium. No portion of the Committed Property is submitted by these CC&Rs to the condominium form of ownership. DecJarant does not currently intend that any portion of the Committed Property be submitted to the condominium form of ownership except property which may at some future time be legally described in a declaration of condominium specifically prepared in accordance with Chapter 718, Florida Statutes, executed by or with the consent of

Page 19

Declarant. Further, the expressed intent of these CC&Rs is that neither the substantive rights nor the procedural rights hereunder shall retroactively be affected by legislation subsequent to the date of the execution of these CC&Rs.

Section 2. ASSOCIATION PROPERTY. The Association Property shall consist of the property indicated on the Plat and Additional Plat, if any, as Association Property or as property reserved for or dedicated to the Association. The Association Property shall be used for all proper pu1poses by the Association and the Owners and their family members, guests, invitees and lessees in accordance with the Bella Collina Documents. Association Property may not be altered, modified, removed or replaced by Owners or their family members, guests, invitees or lessees.

The Lakes shall be maintained and administered by the Association and owned by the Association, as Declarant in its sole discretion determines.

(2) Drainage System. The Drainage System within Bella Collina, including all tracts and easements included therein as shown on the Plat. or Additional Plat, if any, shall be ov·med by the Association. The Association shall be responsible for all maintenance, operation, repair and replacement of any portion of the Drainage System in accordance with SJRWMD permits. Maintenance of the Drainage System shall mean the exercise of practices which allow the Drainage System to provide drainage, water storage, conveyance and other surface water or stormwater management capabilities as permitted by the SJRWMD. Any repair or reconstruction of the Drainage System shall be as permitted or, if modified, as approved in writing by the SJRWMD. The SJRWMD shall have the right to enforce, by a proceeding at law or in equity, the provisions contained in these CC&Rs which relate to the maintenance, operation and repair of the Drainage System.

Declarant hereby reserves and grants an easement in favor of the Association throughout all portions of Bella Collina as may be necessary for the purpose of accessing, maintaining and administering the Drainage System, including but not limited to the Lakes, and no Owner shall do any act which may interfere with the performance by the Association of its obligations hereunder. The Association reserves the right to transfer the Drainage System and the Lakes and/or its responsibility to maintain and administer the Drainage System and the Lakes, together with any easements relating to the maintenance of the Drainage System and the Lakes, to another entity, in whole or in part, subject to obtaining prior written approva] of the SJRWMD and the Club Property Owner.

Page 20

Section 12. RESERVATION OF EXCLUSIVE EASEMENTS FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND RELATED SERVICES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9 of Article TV or elsewhere in the CC&Rs, Declarant hereby reserves to itself, its successors or assigns, the following perpetual exclusive easements in, under, along and across the properties described in the plats of Bella Collina East and Bella Collina West, more particularly described in Exhibit "A", as covenants running with such Additional Property described on Exhibit "A'', for the benefit of the Declarant to provide for (a) installation, service, repair and maintenance of equipment and lines to provide telecommunication and other high tech services, including but not limited to, telephone, cable television, internet, monitored alarm system and other data transmission services; and (b) reasonable rights of ingress and egress on, along and across the Lots, for such persons, contractors or other designees of Declarant, its successors and assigns. It is Declarant's intent that the Committed Property and any Additional Property to be added by Declarant wm be fully wired for fiber optics to each Home in order to create a technologically advanced and integrated ("SMART") subdivision and Declarant intends to market the Committed Property as such to prospective purchasers. As such, Declarant hereby reserves and retains for the benefit of Declarant, its successors or assigns, the exclusive right to enter into long term contracts with providers of such telecommunication and other high tech services, including without limitation hereby, telephone, cable television, internet, monitored alarm system, fiber optic related communications, and data transmission services as Declarant, its successors or assigns may elect and upon such terms and conditions as Declarant, its successors or assigns deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these CC&Rs, to the extent the same shall not conflict with or violate any applicable law or any existing contract or agreement, any provider of such telecommunications and other high tech services that Declarant, its successors or assigns enters into such an agreement with shall be the exclusive and only third party provider of the telecommunications services within the Committed Property that are the subject of such agreement. This exclusivity to the third party provider shall be of no force and effect and inapplicable to the particular service, if there is a default by such provider under the agreement which allows Declarant, its successors or assigns to terminate such agreement or if such agreement has been terminated due to a default. The Declarant, its successors or assigns shall be entitled to compensation for allowing the third party provider use and access of its reserved easements hereunder and any benefits or services resulting therefrom.

Section 13. CLUB OPERATIONS. Neither Declarant, Association, nor any Owner may exercise their respective rights under any easement reserved in this Article or elsewhere in these CC&Rs in a manner that would materially and adversely impact the operation of the Club Property.

Section 14. TERMINATION OF EASEMENT RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything in these CC&Rs to the contrary, all easement rights reserved or granted to Declarant over and across a Lot, other than those exclusive easement rights granted in Section 12 of the Article N herein, unless previously assigned by Declarant, shall terminate on the date on which "Completion of Construction", as defined in Article X, Section 19 of these CC&Rs. has occurred on all Lots. In addition, the easement rights granted or reserved by Declarant hereunder are not to be construed as creating an affinna6ve obligation to act on the part of Declarant. Provided, however, notwithstanding the possibility that the Declarant and the Club Property Owner may be the same

Page 45

entity from time to time, nothing in this paragraph shall act to terminate easement rights reserved or granted to the Club Property Owner as such easement rights are perpetual.

Owners of Homes and/or Lots in certain Neighborhoods that may now or in the future, be submitted to these CC&Rs by Supplemental Declaration, may be obligated to pay Neighborhood Expenses depending upon the level of services provided to the Homes and Lots in the Neighborhood by the Association. For example, the Association may provide lawn and landscape maintenance or exterior building maintenance in certain Neighborhoods, in which case the Association shall assess and collect. and which the Owners are obligated to pay, Neighborhood Assessments as provided herein or as may be otherwise provided in the Bella Collina Documents or in any Supplemental Declaration. It shall be the duty of the Board to prepare a separate budget covering the estimated Neighborhood Expenses to be incurred by the Association for each Neighborhood on whose behalf

Page 47

Neighborhood Expenses are expected to be incurred during the coming year. The Board shall be entitled to set such budget only to the extent that these CC&Rs, Supplemental Declaration or Bylaws specifical1y authorizes the Board to assess certain costs as a Neighborhood Assessment. Any Neighborhood may request that additional services or a higher level of services be provided by the Association, and in such case, any additional costs shall be added to such budget. Such budget may include a capital contribution establishing a reserve fund for repair and replacement of capital items within the Neighborhood, as appropriate.

The Board shall cause a copy of such budget and notice of the amount of the Neighborhood Assessment to be levied on each Home and/or Lot in the Neighborhood for the coming year to be delivered to each Owner in the Neighborhood at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.

If the Board fails for any reason to determine the budget for any year, then and until such time as a budget shall have been determined as provided herein, the budget in effect for the immediately preceding year, with a ten (10%) percent increase, shall be the budget for the current year.

Neighborhood Assessments are in addition to any assessments for Operating Expenses levied by a Neighborhood Association for those Neighborhoods which are administered by a Neighborhood Association. The Association reserves the right to review and approve or disapprove the budgets promulgated by Neighborhood Associations.

Section 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF LIENS. Each Assessment (including Neighborhood Assessments, if applicable) against a Lot, together with Interest thereon and costs of collection, including, but not limited to, Legal Fees, shall be the personal obligation of the Owner of such Lot. Any and all Assessments made by the Association in accordance with the provisions of the Bella Collina Documents with Interest thereon and costs of collection, including, but not limited to, Legal Fees, are hereby declared to be a charge and continuing lien upon each Lot against which each such Assessment is made. Said lien shall be effective only from and after the time of the recordation in the Public Records of the County of a written, acknowledged statement by the Association setting forth the amount due to the Association as of the date the statement is signed. Upon full payment of all sums secured by that lien, the party making payment shall be entitled to a satisfaction of the statement of lien in recordable form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event an Institutional Mortgagee of record obtains title to a Lot as a result of foreclosure of its first mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure, such acquirer of title, its successors or assigns, shall not be liable for the share of Assessments pertaining to such Lot or chargeable to the former Owner thereof which became due prior to the acquisition of title as a result of the foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, unless the Assessment against the Lot in question is secured by a claim of lien for Assessments that is recorded prior to the recordation of the mortgage which was foreclosed or with respect to which a deed in lieu of foreclosure was given.

Section 4. COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS. In the event any Owner shall fail to pay any Assessment, or installment thereof, charged to such Owner within fifteen (15) days after the same becomes due, then the Association, through its Board, shall have any and al1 of the following remedies to the extent permitted by law, which remedies are cumulative and which remedies are not in lieu of, but are in addition to, all other remedies available to the Association:

2. To advance on behalf of the Owner(s) in default funds to accomplish the needs of the Association up to and including the full amount for which such Owner(s) is liable to the Association and the amount or amounts of monies so advanced, together with Interest and all costs of collection thereof, including, but not limited to, Legal Fees, may thereupon be collected by the Association from the Owner(s) and such advance by the Association shall not waive the default.

3. To file an action in equity to foreclose its lien at any time after the effective date thereof as provided in Section 3 hereinabove. The lien may be foreclosed by an action in the name of the Association in like manner as a foreclosure of a mortgage on real property.

4. To file an action at Jaw to collect said Assessment plus Interest and all costs of collection thereof, including, but not limited to, Legal Fees, without waiving any lien rights or rights of foreclosure in the Association.

5. To charge Interest on such Assessment from the date it becomes due, as well as a late charge of One Hundred Dollars ($100) by the Association to defray additional collection costs.

All payments shall be first applied to Interest, administrative late fees, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in collection including any incurred in all bankruptcy and probate proceedings, and then to the Assessment payment first due.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, the Board shall have the right to waive any late fees or Interest that accrue as a result of delinquent payment of Assessments.

Section 5. COLLECTION BY DECLARANT. ln the event for any reason the Association shall fail to collect the Assessments, Declarant shall at all times have the right (but not the obligation): (i) to advance such sums as the Association could have advanced as set forth above; and (ii) to collect such Assessments and, if applicable, any such sums advanced by Declarant, together with Interest and costs of collection, including, but not limited to, Legal Fees.

Page 49

Section 6. RIGHTS OF DECLARANT AND INSTITUTIONAL MORTGAGEES TO PAY ASSESSMENTS AND RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT. Declarant and any Institutional Mortgagee(s) shall have the right, but not the obligation, jointly or individually, and at their sole option, to pay any of the Assessments which are in default and which may or have become a charge against any Lot(s). Further, Declarant and any Institutional Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, jointly or individually, and, at their sole option, to pay insurance premiums or fidelity bond premiums or other required items of Operating Expenses on behalf of the Association in the event the same are overdue and when lapses in policies or services may occur. Declarant and any Institutional Mortgagee overdue Operating Expenses on behalf of the Association will be entitled to immediate reimbursement from the Association plus Interest and any costs of collection including, but not limited to, Legal Fees, and the Association shall execute an instrument in recordable form to this effect and deliver the original of such instrument to each Institutional Mortgagee who is so entitled to reimbursement and to Declarant if Declarant is entitled to reimbursement.

Section 7. COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM. The Association shall have the right to enter into an agreement or agreements ("Communications Agreement") for telecommunication and other high tech services, including without limitation hereby, telephone, cable television, internet, monitored alarm system, fiber optic related communications, and data transmission services ("Communications Services") for Homes with the provider of telecommunications that enters into an agreement with the Declarant as set forth in Section 12 of Article IV herein.

It is contemplated that the monitored alarm service portion of the Communications Services may include features in addition to perimeter monitored alarm services such as, but not limited to, a smoke/heat detection system, push button panels for emergency calls or other features. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these CC&Rs, the costs and expenses charged to the Association under the Communications Agreement shall be apportioned equally, but only in those Hornes with respect to which the Association is being charged under or pursuant to the Communications Agreement except to the extent, if any, that any Owner elects to receive an "Optional Service" (being a service not automatically received by all Owners entitled to receive Communications Service pursuant to the Communications Agreement). Each Owner who receives an Optional Service, if any, shall be responsible for paying for the costs thereof. The foregoing shall in no way obligate Declarant, the Association, their successors or assigns to enter into a Communications Agreement or otherwise provide the Communications Services described in this Section 7.

Section 8. RELATIONSHIP OF ASSOCIATION AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.

A. Collection of Assessments. Neighborhood Associations, if any, shall initially collect all Assessments and other sums including the Neighborhood Assessment due the Neighborhood Association from the members thereof. The Neighborhood Association will remit the Assessments so collected pursuant to such procedures as may be adopted by the Association. The sums so collected shall be applied first to the Assessments of the Association and then to those of the collecting Neighborhood Association. No sums collected by a Neighborhood

Page 50

Association on behalf of the Association shall be deemed a common expense of the collecting Neighborhood Association.

Neighborhood Associations shall be required to enforce liens or take any other actions with regard to delinquencies in Assessments payable to the Association unless the Association gives them written notice of its election not to have them do so. All of the Association's rights of enforcement provided in these CC&Rs shall be deemed to have automatically vested in the applicable Neighborhood Association, but all costs and expenses of exercising such rights shalt nevertheless be paid by the Neighborhood Association (which shall be entitled to receive payment of any such costs and expenses which are ultimately recovered). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Association retains the power to exercise the enforcement rights on a concurrent basis with the Neighborhood Association.

All Fidelity bonds and insurance maintained by a Neighborhood Association shall reflect any duties performed by it pursuant hereto and the amounts to be received and disbursed by it and shall name the Association as an obligee/insured party for so long as its Assessments are being collected and remitted by the Neighborhood Association.

To the extent lawful, a Neighborhood Association may delegate, or contract for the performance of, any duties performed by it pursuant hereto with a management company approved by the Association, provided that: (i) the Neighborhood Association shall remain ultimately liable hereunder; (ii) the management company, as well as the Neighborhood Association, shall comply with the requirements of the foregoing paragraph; and (iii) the approval of the management company by the Association may be withdrawn by the Association, with or without cause, at any time upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice. Any management agreement or similar contract entered into by the Neighborhood Association shall be subject to the provisions of this Paragraph A.

In the event of a failure of a Neighborhood Association to assess its members for Operating Expenses allocated, the Association shall be entitled to pursue all available legal and equitable remedies against the Neighborhood Association or in addition specially assess the members of the Neighborhood Association for sums due and lien all the Lots in such Neighborhood.

B. Delegation of Other Duties. The Association shall have the right to delegate to a Neighborhood Association, on an exclusive or basis, such additional duties not specifically described in this Section with respect to its Neighborhood as the Association shall deem appropriate. Such delegation shall be made by written notice to the Neighborhood Association, which shall be effective no earlier than thirty (30) days from the date it is given. Any delegation made pursuant hereto may be modified or revoked by the Association at any time.

C. Acceptance of Delegated Duties. Whenever the Association delegates any duty to a Neighborhood Association pursuant to this Article, the Neighborhood Association shall be deemed to have automatically accepted same and to have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Association for all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses (including Legal

Page 51

Fees) arising from or connected with the Neighborhood Association's performance, non-performance or negligent performance thereof.

D. Non-Performance of Neighborhood Association Duties. In the event a Neighborhood Association fails to perform any duties delegated to or required of lt, under these CC&Rs or to otherwise be performed by it pursuant to a Supplemental Declaration, which failure continues for a period in excess of thirty (30) days after the Association's giving notice thereof, then the Association may, but shall not be required to, assume such duties. In such event, the Neighborhood Association shall not perform such duties unless and until such time as the Association directs it to once again do so.

ARTICLE VII

METHOD OF DETERMINING ASSESSMENTS AND ALLOCATION OF ASSESSMENTS

Section 1. DETERMINING AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS. The total anticipated Operating Expenses for each calendar year shall be set forth in the budget ("Budget") prepared by the Board as required under the Bella Collina Documents. If a Neighborhood is administered by a Neighborhood Association, the total anticipated Neighborhood Expense for the Neighborhood each calendar year shall be set forth in a budget prepared by the Board of the Neighborhood Association. If a Neighborhood is not administered by a Neighborhood Association, the total anticipated Neighborhood Expenses for the Neighborhood each calendar year shall be set forth in a budget prepared by the Board of the Association. Each Improved Lot and Unimproved Lot shall be assessed its pro rata portion of the total anticipated Operating Expenses, exclusive of the Lot Type Maintenance Assessment (as defined below) and Neighborhood Expenses, if applicable, which shall be the "Base Lot Assessment" and "Neighborbood Assessment", if applicable as to each Lot.

With respect to that portion of the Committed Property more particularly described on the Bella Collina Plat recorded in Plat Book 51, Pages 31 through 49, inclusive, of the Public Records of the County, the Base Lot Assessment and Neighborhood Assessment shall be based upon the level of service to each Lot and upon the state of the Lot's development, with the Owners of Improved Lots paying the Operating Expenses on a four to one ratio (4:1) compared to the Owners of Unimproved Lots as set forth below. Therefore, the Improved Lot Owners and Unimproved Lot Owners shall share the payment of the Operating Expenses on a ratio of four to one (4:1). Therefore, the total anticipated Operating Expenses (other than those expenses which are properly the subject of Special Assessment) shall be divided by the total number of lmproved Lots multiplied by four (4) plus the number of Unimproved Lots, with the quotient thus arrived

Page 52

at being the "Base Lot Assessment" for an Unimproved Lot. Said quotient multiplied by four (4) shall be the Base Lot Assessment for an Improved Lot. The number of Improved Lots and Unimproved Lots shall be adjusted quarterly, as needed, as hereinafter set forth_ At such time as Declarant has completed all of the Homes on all of the Lots, each Lot shall be an improved Lot and the Base Lot Assessment shall be equal for each Lot.

With respect to Lots located in Bella Collina East and Bella Co11ina West, as more particularly described in Exhibit "A'' attached hereto, each Improved Lot and Unimproved Lot shall be assessed the same pro rata portion of the total anticipated Operating Expenses, exclusive of the Lot Type Maintenance Assessment and Neighborhood Expenses, if applicable. In addition to the Base Lot Assessment and Neighborhood Expenses, each Lot shall be assessed a portion of the total Operating Expenses associated with the Association's provision of landscape care and maintenance of Lots, which shall be the "Lot Type Maintenance Assessment." The Lot Type Maintenance Assessment shall be based upon the type of Lot, as such Lot type is established in this paragraph: Lots 399-483, as shown on the Plat, are hereby designated Type "A" Lots; and Lots 1-318, as shown on the Plat, are hereby designated Type "B" Lots. The Declarant reserves the right to re-designate Lots as either Type "A" or Type "B" Lots based on the Declarant's modification of its plan of development for any re-designated Lot. The total anticipated Operating Expenses for each calendar year associated with the Association's provision of landscape care and maintenance of Lots shall be set forth in the Budget and shall be separated into Type A Lot Maintenance Assessments and Type B Lot Maintenance Assessments. Each Lot shall be assessed its pro rata portion of either the Type A Lot Maintenance Assessments or the Type B Lot Maintenance Assessments, as applicable. The Base Lot Assessment and the Lot Type Maintenance Assessment applicable to each Lot shall be collectively referred to as the "Individual Lot Assessment."

Notwithstanding anything in the Bella Collina Documents to the contrary, any Assessment for legal expenses incurred by the Association for lawsuits shall be deemed an Operating Expense which is properly the subject of Special Assessment and not the subject of an Base Lot Assessment, except the legal fees incurred by the Association in connection with the collection of assessments or other charges which Owners are obligated to pay pursuant to the Bella Collina Documents or the enforcement of the use and occupancy restrictions contained in the Bella Collina Documents.

In addition to the general notice of Board meetings required to be given to all Owners in accordance with Section 720.303, Florida Statutes, written notice of the meeting at which the Board shall consider any Special Assessment, Base Lot Assessment, Lot Type Maintenance Assessment, or Neighborhood Assessment, if any shall be provided to all Owners at ]east fourteen (14) days before the meeting, which notice shall include a statement that assessments will be considered at the meeting and the nature of the assessments. Such written notice must be mailed, delivered, or electronically transmitted to the Owners and posted conspicuously on the Committed Property or broadcast on closed·circuit cable television not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the meeting.

Section 2. ASSESSMENT PAYMENTS. Base Lot Assessments, Lot Type Maintenance Assessments, and Neighborhood Assessments, if any, shall be payable quarterly, in advance, on the first day of January, April, July and October of each year, provided, however, at the

Page 53

Association's option, Base Lot Assessments, Lot Type Maintenance Assessments, and Neighborhood Assessments, if any, may be payable monthly. Base Lot Assessments, Lot Type Maintenance Assessments, and Neighborhood Assessments, if any, and the quarterly or monthly installments thereof, may be adjusted from time to time by the Board to reflect changes in the number and status of Improved Lots and Unimproved Lots (thus apportioning all such Assessments and installments thereof among all Lots at the time such installment is due) or changes in the Budget or in the event the Board determines that an Assessment or any installment thereof is either less than or more than the amount actually required. When an Unimproved Lot becomes an Improved Lot during a period with respect to which an Assessment or installment thereof has already been assessed, such Improved Lot shall be deemed assessed the amount of such Assessment or installment thereof which was assessed against Improved Lots in existence at the time of such Assessment, prorated from the date the Lot became an Improved Lot through the end of the period in question. If the payment of such Assessment or installment thereof was due at the time the Lot became an Improved Lot or prior thereto, said prorated amount thereof shall be immediately due and payable. Likewise, the amount paid with respect to · such Improved Lot based upon the Lot's status as an Unimproved Lot, prorated from the date the Unimproved Lot became an Improved Lot to the end of the period in question, shall be credited against the amount owed as an Improved Lot.

Section 3. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. The Board subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 1 above, may levy at any time a Special Assessment for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction or reconstruction, unexpected repair or replacement of a capital improvement upon the Association Property, including the necessary fixtures and personal property related thereto, for acquiring Improvements for, or on, the Association Property, for the purpose of covering any insufficiency of assessments to fund the actual monetary needs of the Association over and above the budgeted Assessments, or for any other use or purpose deemed desirable or appropriate by the Board. "Special Assessments" shall also include any other Assessments designated as Special Assessments in the Bella Collina Documents and whether or not for a cost or expense which is included within the definition of "Operating Expenses." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is recognized and declared that Special Assessments shall be in addition to, and are not part of, any Base Lot Assessment or Lot Type Maintenance Assessment. Any Special Assessments assessed against Lots and the Owners thereof shall be paid by such Owners in addition to any other Assessments and shall be assessed in the same manner as the Base Lot Assessment. Special Assessments shall be paid in such installments or in a lump sum as the Board shall, from time to time, determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the levying of any Special Assessment after the Turnover Date shall require the affirmative assent of at least two-thirds (2/3) of all Owners represented in person or by proxy at a meeting called and held in accordance with the Bylaws. Prior to the Turnover Date, a DecJarant controlled Board may make a Special Assessment without such vote of the Owners.

Section 4. LIABILITY OF OWNERS FOR INDIVIDUAL LOT ASSESSMENTS AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSESSMENTS. IF ANY. By the acceptance of a deed or other instrument of conveyance of a Lot, each Owner thereof acknowledges that each Lot and the Owners thereof are jointly and severally liable for their own Base Lot Assessments, Lot Type Maintenance Assessment, Neighborhood Assessments and their applicable portion of any Special Assessments, as well as for any and all other Assessments for which they are liable, as provided

Page 54

for herein. Such Owners further recognize and covenant that they are jointly and severally liable with the Owners of all Lots for the Operating Expenses (subject to any specific limitations provided for herein such as, but not limited to, the limitation with respect to matters of Special Assessment and the limitations on the liability of Institutional Mortgagees and their successors and assigns). Accordingly, subject to such specific limitations, it is recognized and agreed by each Owner, for himself and his heirs, executors, successors and assigns, that in the event any Owner fails or refuses to pay his Base Lot Assessment, Lot Type Maintenance Assessment, or any portion thereof, or his respective portion of any Special Assessment or any other Assessment, then the other Owners may be responsible for increased Base Lot Assessments, Lot Type Maintenance Assessments, or Special Assessments or other Assessments due to the nonpayment by such other Owner, and such increased Base Lot Assessment, Lot Type Maintenance Assessment, or Special Assessment or other Assessment can and may be enforced by the Association and Declarant in the same manner as all other Assessments hereunder as provided in the Bella Collina Documents.

Section 5. WORKING FUND CONTRIBUTION.

A. Each Owner who purchases a Lot from Declarant shall pay to the Association at the time legal title is conveyed to such Owner, a "Working Fund Contribution." The Working Fund Contribution shall be an amount equal to a two months' share of the initial estimated Base Lot Assessment applicable to the Lot at the date of conveyance of the Lot from Declarant to the initial Owner of the Lot. The purpose of the Working Fund Contribution is to assure that the Association will have cash available for initial start-up expenses, to meet unforeseen expenditures and to acquire additional equipment and services deemed necessary or desirable by the Board. Working Fund Contributions may also be used to offset Operating Expenses. Working Fund Contributions are not advance payments of Base Lot Assessments and shall have no effect on future Base Lot Assessments, nor will they be held in reserve. To further ensure that the Association will have sufficient cash available to pay for start-up expenses, Operating Expenses, Neighborhood Expenses and other expenses, Declarant may from time to time advance to the Association the Working Fund Contribution applicable to any Lot(s) prior to the time legal title to such Lot(s) is conveyed to the Owner(s) thereof In the event Declarant advances the Working Fund Contribution applicable to any Lot, then, at the time legal title to such Lot is conveyed lo the Owner thereof, the Working Fund Contribution to be paid by such Owner to the Association pursuant to this Section 5 shall be paid directly to Declarant in reimbursement of the advance, instead of to the Association.

B. Upon the resale of a Lot from an Owner to a new Owner ("Subsequent Owner"), each Subsequent Owner who purchases such a Lot shall pay to the Association at the time legal title is conveyed to such Subsequent Owner, an "Additional Reserve Fund Contribution." The Additional Reserve Fund Contribution shall be an amount equal to a two months' share of the annual Operating Expenses and the annual Neighborhood Expenses applicable to such Lot pursuant to the Budget in effect at the time of closing. All Additional Reserve Fund Contributions shall be deposited upon receipt by the Association in the Association reserve accounts designated by the Board from time to time for acceptance of Additional Reserve Fund Contributions. The purpose of the Additional Reserve Fund Contribution is to assure that the Association reserve accounts will have cash available to meet unforeseen reserve fund expenditures deemed necessary or desirable by the Board. Additional

Page 55

Reserve Fund Contributions may not be used to offset Operating Expenses. Additional Reserve Fund Contributions are not advance payments of Base Lot Assessments and shall have no effect on future Base Lot Assessments. lf the Subsequent Owner fails to pay the Additional Reserve Fund Contribution on acceptance of title to a Lot as required, the Association shall have the right to demand immediate payment of the unpaid Additional Reserve Fund Contribution. The Additional Reserve Fund Contribution due shall constitute a lien upon the applicable Lot and Home with the same force and effect as liens for Operating Expenses.

Section 6. WAIVER OF USE. No Owner, other than Declarant, may exempt himself from personal liability for Assessments duly levied by the Association.

The time periods established in this paragraph shall not be tolled by the further conveyance of the Lot from the initial Owner to a subsequent Owner.

3. Such time periods for Commencement of Construction and Completion of Construction may be extended by Declarant in its sole discretion with respect to any Unimproved Lot by recorded instrument or contract. In the event that Declarant exercises its right to Repurchase an Unimproved Lot due to failure to timely (i) Commence Construction or (ii) attain Completion of Construction in accordance with this section, the repurchase price (''Repurchase Price") shall equal eighty percent (80%) of the purchase price paid by the then current Owner plus the actual cost of improvements made to such Lot by or on behalf of such Owner and its successors-in-title, if any.

A. If insurance proceeds are sufficient to effect total restoration of damaged or destroyed Association Property, then the Association shall cause such Association Property to be repaired and reconstructed substantially as it previously existed.

B. lf insurance proceeds are insufficient to effect total restoration, and the cost of restoration exceeds such proceeds by Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) or Jess, then the Association shall cause the Association Property to be repaired and reconstructed substan1ially as it previously existed and the difference between the insurance proceeds and the actual cost shall be levied as a Special Assessment proportionately against each of the Lots in accordance with the provisions of Articles VI and Vll herein.

C.

E. In the event that the repairs and replacements were paid for by any Special Assessments as well as insurance proceeds and regular Assessments, then, if after the completion of and payment for the repair, replacement, construction or reconstruction there shall remain any excess in the hands of the Association, it shall be presumed that the monies disbursed in payment of any repair, replacement, construction and reconstruction were first disbursed from insurance proceeds and regular Assessments and any remaining funds shall be deemed to be the remaining Special Assessments which shall be returned to the Owners by means of a pro rata distribution in accordance with the collection of such Special Assessments.

2. This permit or a copy thereof, complete with all conditions, attachments, exhibits, and modifications, shall be kept at the work site of the permitted activity. The complete permit shall be available for review at the work site upon request by District staff. The permittee shall require the contractor to review the complete permit prior to commencement of the activity authorized by this permit.

3. Activities approved by this permit shall be conducted in a manner which do not cause violations of state water quality standards.

4. Prior to and during construction, the permittee shall implement and maintain all erosion and sediment control measures (best management practices) required to retain sediment on-site and to prevent violations of state water quality standards. All practices must be in accordance with the guidelines and specifications in chapter 6 of the Florida Land Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management (Florida Department of Environmental Regulation 1988), which are incorporated by reference, unless a project specific erosion and sediment control plan is approved as part of the permit, in which case the practices must be in accordance with the plan. If site specific conditions require additional measures during any phase of construction or operation to prevent erosion or control sediment, beyond those specified in the erosion and sediment control plan, the permittee shall implement additional best management practices as necessary, in accordance with the specifications in chapter 6 of the Florida Land Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management (Florida Department of Environmental 1988). The permittee shall correct any erosion or shoaling that causes adverse impacts to the water resources.

5. Stabilization measures shall be initiated for erosion and sediment control on disturbed areas as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased, but in no case more than 7 days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased.

6. At least 48 hours prior to commencement of activity authorized by this permit, the

Page 156

permittee shall submit to the District a Construction Commencement Notice Form No. 40C-4.900(3) indicating the actual start date and the expected completion date.

7. When the duration of construction will exceed one year, the permittee shall submit construction status reports to the District on an annual basis utilizing an Annual Status Report Form No. 40C- 4.900(4). These forms shall be submitted during June of each year.

8. For those systems which will be operated or maintained by an entity which will require an easement or deed restriction in order to provide that entity with the authority necessary to operate or maintain the system, such easement or deed restriction, together with any other final operation or maintenance documents as are required by subsections 7.1.1 through 7.1.4 of the Applicant's Handbook: Management and Storage of Surface Waters, must be submitted to the District for approval. Documents meeting the requirements set forth in these subsections of the Applicant's Handbook will be approved. Deed restrictions, easements and other operation and maintenance documents which require recordation either with the Secretary of State or the Clerk of the Circuit Court must be so recorded prior to lot or unit sales within the project served by the system, or upon completion of construction of the system, whichever occurs first. For those systems which are proposed to be maintained by county or municipal entities, final operation and maintenance documents must be received by the District when maintenance and operation of the system is accepted by the local governmental entity. Failure to submit the appropriate final documents referenced in this paragraph will result in the permittee remaining liable for carrying out maintenance and operation of the permitted system.

9. Each phase or independent portion of the permitted system must be completed in accordance with the permitted plans and permit conditions prior to the initiation of the permitted use of site infrastructure located within the area served by the portion or phase of the system. Each phase or independent portion of the system must be completed in accordance with the permitted plans and permit conditions prior to transfer of responsibility for operation and maintenance of that phase or portion of the system to local government or other responsible entity.

10. Within 30 days after completion of construction of the permitted system, or independent portion of the system, the permittee shall submit a written statement of completion and certification by a registered professional engineer or other appropriate individual as authorized by law, utilizing As Built Certification Form 40C-1.181(13) or 40C-1.181(14) supplied with this permit. When the completed system differs substantially from the permitted plans, any substantial deviations shall be noted and explained and two copies of as-built drawings submitted to the District. Submittal of the completed from shall

Page 157

serve to notify the District that the system is ready for inspection. The statement of completion and certification shall be based on on-site observation of construction (conducted by the registered professional engineer, or other appropriate individual as authorized by law, or under his or her direct supervision) or review of as-built drawings for the purpose of determining if the work was completed in compliance with approved plans and specifications. As-built drawings shall be the permitted drawings revised to reflect any changes made during construction. Both the original and any revised specifications must be clearly shown. The plans must be clearly labeled as "as-built" or "record" drawing. All surveyed dimensions and elevations shall be certified by a registered surveyor. The following information, at a minimum, shall be verified on the as-built drawings:

1. Dimensions and elevations of all discharge structures including all weirs, slots, gates, pumps, pipes, and oil and grease skimmers;

2. Locations, dimensions, and elevations of all filter, exfiltration, or underdrain systems including cleanouts, pipes, connections to control structures, and points of discharge to the receiving waters;

3. Dimensions, elevations, contours, or cross-sections of all treatment storage areas sufficient to determine state-storage relationships of the storage area and the permanent pool depth and volume below the control elevation for normally wet systems, when appropriate;

LOCATION AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM:

The Pine Island project is located north of Florida's Turnpike, east of County Road 455 on the southwest side of Lake Apopka, in Lake County (See Attachment A). The site is located within the Southern Ocklawaha River


Page 170

Hydrologic Basin (Basin 12).

The project consists of mass grading and the construction of all streets, stormwater conveyance systems, 19 dry retention ponds, rear-lot swales along Pine Lake and Lake Apopka, and an emergency outfall structure for discharge from Pine Lake to Lake Apopka. A letter of objection to the project was received by the District. A copy of this letter and the District response is attached.

STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant proposes to mass grade the project area for future construction of a 496-unit single-family residential subdivision, to be constructed in phases.

The applicant also proposes construction of all streets and associated stormwater conveyance systems, 19 dry retention ponds, rear-lot swales for all lots adjacent to Pine Lake and Lake Apopka, and an emergency outfall structure for discharge from Pine Lake to Lake Apopka.

Stormwater runoff from the streets, and from lots where runoff is directed to the streets, will be diverted to roadway inlets. Stormwater runoff from the undeveloped areas will be intercepted by swales to be diverted to yard drains. The inlets and yard drains discharge into the dry retention ponds. Stormwater runoff from lots adjacent to Pine Lake and Lake Apopka will be diverted to rearlot swales.

Pine Lake is considered land-locked, therefore, the applicant has submitted plans and calculations demonstrating that the proposed surface water management system will provide storage and recovery of the difference between the pre-development and the post-development runoff volume from the 25- year/96-hour storm event, pursuant to Chapter 40C-4, F.A.C. and Section 10.4 of the Applicant's Handbook: Management and Storage of Surface Waters.

Additionally, 18 of the 19 dry retention ponds, most of which are outside of the Pine Lake drainage basin, will retain and recover, within 14 days, the entire volume of stormwater runoff from both the 1 OO-year/24-hour and the 25-year/96- hour storm events. Only one of the ponds is expected to have a minor discharge to Pine Lake in the 100-year/24-hour storm event.

Furthermore, the applicant has also provided calculations demonstrating that the post-development water surface elevation in Pine Lake will not exceed the predevelopment elevation in the 100-year/24-hour storm event.

The rear-lot swales are to be located along the shoreline of both Pine Lake and Lake Apopka. They have been designed to provide for treatment, recovery, and peak discharge rate attenuation of stormwater runoff from the lots. In addition, all of the swales are designed to retain the entire volume of runoff from the 3- year/1-hour storm event, but most of the swales will retain even greater volumes, even up to the 1 OO-year/24-hour storm event.


Page 171

Hydrologically, the site is separated into two drainage basins in both the pre-and post-development conditions. The northwest portion of the site drains to Pine Lake where the lake accounts for at least half of the basin area. The remainder of the site drains to Lake Apopka.

During peat mining operations, Pine Lake was controlled by a pumped discharge to Lake Apopka. The pump discharged to a roadway culvert to the north of the site. The culvert directed the flow into a canal connected to Lake Apopka. However, during times of drought, the canal would be severed from the lake.

Shortly after the pump failed in the late 1990's, a combination of factors contributed to the collapse of the roadway; with the primary cause being the failure of the roadway culvert. A high head differential between the water surface elevations of Pine Lake and the canal to Lake Apopka, and erosion of material surrounding the culvert, dislodged and collapsed the culvert. The roadway has since been repaired, but the pump and culvert were not replaced.

The applicant has chosen to provide an emergency outfall for Pine Lake to help prevent the off-site flooding and damage to property and infrastructure that has occurred in the past.

The emergency outfall structure for Pine Lake will consist of two, 29" X 45", elliptical reinforced concrete pipes (ERCP) connected to twin Type H ditch bottom inlets. The inlets are to be located in Lake Apopka, with sand-cement riprap surrounding the inlets to provide protection from erosion and to act as a sediment sump. The top of grate is to be set at elevation 69. Elevation 69 is the estimated 100-year flood elevation of Lake Apopka, whereas the estimated 100- year flood elevation of Pine Lake is elevation 67.2. Therefore, Pine Lake is not expected to discharge to Lake Apopka during a 100 year storm event.

Although portions of the project area discharge directly into Lake Apopka, the applicant has demonstrated that the proposed surface water management system will not discharge to Lake Apopka during the 1 OO-year/24-hour storm event.

The applicant has provided calculations demonstrating that the proposed ponds and swales will recover the required treatment volume within 72 hours. The project site is an abandoned citrus grove and contains a 313.71-acre lake (known as Pine Lake), a 31.11-acre portion of Lake Apopka, and a 5.89-acre isolated wetland:

Pine Lake is a 313.71-acre reclaimed peat mine. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection issued a permit for the mine in 1990. This waterbody can be characterized as a deep water feature with vegetated literal shelves. The recolonizing shoreline vegetation consists of desireable herbaceous species.

• The onsite portion of Lake Apopka consists of an herbaceous/shrubby

Page 172

shoreline with pockets of mixed forested wetlands scattered throughout the shoreline area.

The 5.89-acre isolated wetland is a willow and elderberry system located between Pine Lake and Lake Apopka.

The habitat functions being provided by the wetlands and surface waters to fish and wildlife are good.

In order to construct portions of the project, the applicant has proposed the following wetland and surface water impacts:

Pine Lake: 0.15 acres of impact for a drainage feature and 2.58 acres of impacts for boat docks on Lots 323 through 398.

Lake Apopka: 0.09 acres of impact for a roadway widening and drainage feature and 2.48 acres of impacts for boat docks on 72 lots.

No impacts are proposed to the isolated wetland.

REDUCTION AND ELIMINATION OF IMPACTS

Pursuant to Section 12.2.1 .1 AH/ERP, the applicant has implemented all practicable design modifications to reduce wetland impacts. The applicant designed the wetland road crossing over an existing dirt road, attempted to limit other wetland encroachments to pipe outfalls, and minimized the impact to wetland and surface waters by designing the boat docks to have the least amount of environmental impact; boat docks can adversely affect wildlife by shading and otherwise displacing vegetation and their use (human activities) can cause increased noise, night lighting and visual disturbances.

SECONDARY IMPACTS

The proposed plan includes a (50) fifty foot upland buffer along the wetland edge associated with Lake Apopka; a (25) twenty-five foot upland buffer around the isolated wetland and a 15-foot minimum, 25-foot average buffer around Pine Lake. Pursuant to Subsection 12.2.7 (a), AH/ERP, the applicant has demonstrated that the proposed project will not have adverse secondary impacts to the water resource.

The applicant has also addressed potential secondary impacts to Lake Apopka and Pine Lake as a result of the boat docks by providing the following information:

Lake Apopka:

• The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions clearly state that all boats are stored within garages or off-site.

• No on-site boat storage facilities will be provided for homeowners.

• No overnight mooring to the docks will be allowed.

• The project site is limited to a 2.48-acre portion of the 31,000-acre Lake Apopka.

• Standard dock construction standards are proposed to ensure that impacts to lakefront vegetation, as well as potential adverse impacts to shoreline

Page 173

vegetation from shading and propeller dredging, are limited.

Pine Lake:

• The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions clearly state that all boats are stored within garages or off-site.

• No on-site boat storage facilities will be provided for homeowners.

• No overnight mooring to the docks will be allowed.

• The project site is limited to a 2.58-acre portion of the 313.70-acre Pine Lake.

• Standard dock construction standards are proposed to ensure that impacts to lakefront vegetation, as well as potential adverse impacts to shoreline vegetation from shading and propeller dredging, are limited.

MITIGATION

As mitigation for the direct impacts to wetlands and surface waters, the applicant will preserve 37.91 acres of wetlands and 15.59 acres of uplands on the site. The wetland and upland areas will be placed into a conservation easement. The additional protection afforded these acres by the proposed conservation easement offsets the project's adverse impacts.

CUMULATIVE IMPACTS

The project site and the mitigation sites are located onsite and within the same hydrologic basin. The project will not have unacceptable adverse cumulative impacts because the proposed system, considered in conjunction with the past, present, and future activities as described in 12.2.8, A.H., ERP, will not result in a violation of state water quality standards as set forth in subsection 12.1.1(c), A.H., ERP, or cause significant adverse impacts to functions of wetlands or other surface waters identified in subsection 12.2.2, within the same drainage basin when considering the basin as a whole.

With mitigation, the proposed project will have no unacceptable adverse secondary and cumulative impacts to wetlands, water quality, and upland habitat for aquatic and wetland dependent fish or wildlife "listed" as endangered, threatened, or of special concern. With mitigation, the proposed project is consistent with the wetland review criteria in sections 12.2 - 12.3.8, A.H./MSSW, ERP.

PINE ISLAND

SHORELINE MANAGEMENT PLAN

I. INTRODUCTION

The Pine Island development is a 1,486-acre, single-family, primary residence community located on Lake Apopka's southwestern shoreline. The Pine Island developmen4 also known as Bella Collina, consists of a 496-unit family residence subdivision that will include equestrian facilities, boating, tennis, and spa/fitness facilities. The project is approved under St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD) permit number4-069-82832-l issued September 10, 2002.

The project is located north of the Florida Turnpike, east of County Road 455 in Sections 11, 12, 13, and 14, Township 22 South, Range 26 East, and Section 7, Township 22 South, Range 27 East, Lake County, Florida. The Shoreline Management Area is located along Lake Apopka, adjacent to the Pine Island project within the southern Ocklawaha River hydrologic basin (Basin 12).

II. PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Pine Island shoreline and adjacent wetlands and uplands serve as a natural environmental benefit for future property owners within the Bella Collina development.

A. LAND USE HISTORY The majority of land within the development adjacent to the management area consists of planted slash and spruce pine. An abandoned citrus grove, a 313.71- acre internal lake (Pine Lake), a 31.11-acre portion of Lake Apopka, and a 5.89- acre isolated wetland make up the remainder of the project area.

B. LAKE APOPKA Lake Apopka is located in northwest Orange and southeast Lake Counties and is the headwaters to the Ocklawaha Chain of Lakes. Years of abuse have given Lake Apopka the distinction of being the most polluted large lake in Florida. Legislation in 1985 and 1987 designated Lake Apopka as a priority water body in need of restoration and mandated that the SJRWMD develop and implement plans to restore the lake to Class III water quality, making the lake fit for recreation. Continuing restoration efforts on Lake Apopka have successfully reduced phosphorus levels and increased water quality improving conditions to allow native submersed plant to begin re-establishing themselves in many locations around the lake. One of the primary goals set forth within the Lake Apopka

Page 191

Restoration Act of 1985 and Florida's Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Act of 1987 is to restore habitat through restoration of the shoreline, known as the littoral zone.

III. HABITAT DESCRIPTIONS

The management area consists of a herbaceous/shrubby shoreline with adjacent pockets of uplands and mixed forested wetlands. The habitats within the management area are described below.

A. UPLANDS

The uplands within the management area consist of approximately 36.7 acres of hardwood hammock. This community is dominated by a live oak (Quercus virginiana), slash pine (Pinus elliottii), and cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto) canopy with groundcover consisting of saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) and a variety of other grasses. forbs, vines, and broad-leaf weedy species. Other species observed include elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), blackberry (Rubus sp.). laurel greenbriar (Smilax laurifolia), muscadine ( Vitis rotundifolia), and momingglory (Ipomoea sp.).

B. WETLANDS

The forested wetlands within the management area consist of approximately 130.8 acres. This forested system runs in a continuous line around the perimeter of the lake from the northeast to the southwest. This linear band of wetland varies greatly in width from more than 1000 feet to less than 50 feet and serves as a stormwater treatment area for Lake Apopka. This wetland is dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum) in all areas along with scattered dahoon holly (Ilex cassine), red bay (Persea borbonia), sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), sugar berry (Celtis laevigata), pop ash (Fraxinus americana), and cabbage palm. Shrub species consist of Virginia willow (/tea virginica), southern willow (Salix caroliniana), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), and buttonbush (Ceplwlanfhus occidentalis). The groundcover consists of lizard's tail (Saururus cernuous), pennywort (Hydrocotyle umbellata), Virginia chain fem, (Woodwardia areolata), and swamp fern (Blechum serrulatum).

C. LAKESHORE LITTORAL ZONE

The herbaceous or littoral zone of the management area occurs as a linear narrow band between the forested wetland and open water of the lake. The dominant species observed in this habitat include cattail (Typha sp.), primrose willow (Ludwigia penwiana), bull-tongue arrowhead (Sagitteria lancifolia), lizard's tail, swamp and Virginia chain fern. Other species observed in lesser amounts

Page 192

include water hyacinth (Eichhomia crassipes), softstem bulrush (Sirpus tabemaemontam), and pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata).

IV. LAKESHORE MANAGEMENT PLAN

Lakeshore vegetation and adjacent habitats are critical to maintaining a healthy, diverse, and stable lakeshore environment. The major functions of this area are to help reduce shoreline erosion, provide wildlife habitat, improve water quality, and provide aesthetic benefits.

Several protected species listed in Florida's Endangered Species, Threatened Species, and Species of Special Concern official lists (1997) utilize Lake Apopka's shoreline and adjacent wetlands and uplands within the Pine Island area. These species include, but are not limited to, the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), wood stork (Mycteria americana), brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), white ibis (Eudocimus albus), little blue heron (Egretta caerulea), snowy egret (Egretta thula), and osprey (Pandion haliaetus). Management techniques to protect listed species of plants and animals include removal of exotic species, thereby improving habitat and food sources to support wildlife species.

A. PROJECT PURPOSE

The purpose of the Pine Island Lakeshore Management Plan is to furnish guidance, protection, and preservation of the lake's environment while allowing a balanced use of the lakeshore. The plan also considers means of restoration to the shoreline and adjacent buffer where excessive use, misuse, or degradation may have occurred. By preserving the uplands and wetlands adjacent to the shoreline, a natural buffer will be maintained for the preservation and enhancement of water quality. By preserving the adjacent wetlands, a natural filter for the runoff from upland areas will be maintained.

B. OBJECTIVES

The primary objectives of this Management Plan are:

• removal of invasive and exotic vegetation;

• replanting of native vegetation within the lakeshore and adjacent uplands; and

• management of the Pine Island shoreline to properly establish, enhance, and maintain acceptable fish and wildlife habitat, and sustain natural environmental conditions.


This Shoreline Management Plan will address implementation of these objectives. All improvements and major land alterations will comply with applicable local,

Page 193

state, regional and federal laws and regulations. All improvements will be sited to minimize environmental impacts.

V. DISCUSSION OF PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

The majority of the Shoreline Management Area contains disturbed habitats that require improvement. The disturbed habitats targeted by this plan consist of shoreline areas, adjacent wetland, and uplands. These areas contain an abundance of nuisance and exotic species. This management plan proposes to restore these areas to a more undisturbed state by killing or removing invasive species and planting native plants. The following discusses problems encountered within each of the major communities in the Pine Island Shoreline Management Area.

A. UPLANDS

The upland habitat within the management area has been invaded by several invasive species indicative of disturbed areas. Within these areas, elderberry and blackberry are extremely abundant resulting in the absence of any desirable vegetation. Many invasive vines, laurel greenbriar, muscadine, air-potato, and morning glory are also prevalent in many areas within the uplands. It is common to see trees completely engulfed in vines and areas where the vines have formed mats that cover all groundcover vegetation. Other nuisance and exotic plant and vine species found within the upland areas include Caesar's weed (Urena lobata), Chinaberry (Melia azedarach), castor bean (Ricinus communis), and air-potato (Dioscorea bulbifera).

B. WETLANDS

The forested wetlands within the management area are disturbed and considered extremely poor quality. Elderberry, blackberry, laurel greenbriar, and morning glory dominate many areas near the jurisdictional wetland line. These species are indicative of altered hydrology and appear to be encroaching further into the wetlands displacing desirable wetland species that once were abundant in the area. These species have become so dense in some areas that the lake view is nonexistent and the area looks mangled with vines and dead vegetation. Other nuisance and exotic species found in the wetlands include castor bean, muscadine, air-potato, climbing hempvine, wild taro, and primrose willow.

There are several other signs of altered hydrology within the wetlands, including soil oxidation and subsidence. Many of larger trees show obvious signs of soil oxidation that has resulted in the exposure of not only primary roots but the secondary root structure as well. This has lead to destabilization in many of the trees as evident by fallen trees, wind blown trees, leaning trees, and the attempt of many to re-sprout from the original root crown resulting in a multi-tuck

Page 194

formation. The result is an abundance of trees that reach no more than sub-canopy size and are heavily overgrown with vines and blackberry.

Despite the abundant vegetation and the annual leaf litter provided to this area, there is essentially no humus layer over the organic substrate. The decomposed organic material oxidizes before it has the opportunity to form a humus layer, which is another indicator of the reduced hydrology of this area and lack of surface inundation. This also corresponds with the obvious signs of soil oxidation and subsidence.

C. LAKESHORE LITTORAL ZONE

The main species of concern within the lakeshore littoral zone of the management area are cattail and primrose willow. Water hyacinth was also observed in lesser amounts within the lakeshore littoral zone.

VI. KEY MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

The following management activities form the basis of the Pine Island Shoreline Management Plan:

1) mowing and invasive plant removal within uplands;

2) control of invasive exotic wetland vegetation;

3) planting of native emergent, wetland, and transitional plant species; and

4) controlled burning.

The protection of native habitats will ensure protected species are adequately supported in the environment. These management activities will target nuisance and exotic vegetation removal to maintain them at low levels. Regular maintenance events, such as mechanical vegetation removal and chemical treatment will allow native plant species to become dominant. The following describes each management activity in more detail.

Mowing and Invasive Plant Removal within Uplands

The first component of the Pine Island Management Plan involves mechanical (Hydro-Axe) mowing followed by chemical treatment of invasive species. Performing this first step will allow easy access to more problematic areas that currently impede access to the shoreline. In addition, chemical treatment of invasive plant and vine species followed by subsequent plantings will allow for optimal coverage of native upland species.

The next component involves mechanical (Hydro-Axe) mowing followed by chemical treatment of invasive upland species. This consists of the removal of dense areas of species such as elderberry, blackberry, and many vine species that have encroached within the forested wetlands. In some areas, these species have totally restricted access and view to habitats just beyond this area.

Page 195

Control of Invasive Exotic Wetland Vegetation

Invasive exotic vegetation has displaced native vegetation within the Lake Apopka shoreline and adjacent wetlands. In addition, native species such as cattail, which are indicative of seriously disturbed conditions, can overpopulate and crowd out other desirable species. Such monocultures can dramatically impact native fish and wildlife populations. When necessary, native plant management should be conducted similarly to invasive plant management to promote the formation of monocultures. Removing exotics and species such as cattail from the area will be an important element of restoration.

In wetland areas where a mechanical (Hydro-Axe) mower would cause rutting, a hydraulic excavator with a Quadco saw head that works from mats will be used to access and cut vegetation while minimizing wetland impacts. In addition, chemical treatment will be used to treat and prevent the return of invasive species.

Hand removal and chemical treatment of invasive exotic vegetation will be used in areas where invasive vegetation is prevalent and mowing is impractical. This step is critical in restoring the lakeshore to its natural state and improving the overall quality of the management area while returning the management area to a true lakeshore ecosystem.

Planting of Native Vegetation

Another component of the Pine Island Management Plan is to protect and improve water quality by planting desirable vegetation to replace the undesirable vegetation. Planting will provide diversity in areas dominated by monocultures. Native plants and the natural environment provide food and habitat for animals, filter nutrients, sediments, and other pollutants from runoffs, provide shade and cover for fish, and minimize shoreline erosion. Native wetland and transitional plant species will be planted to restore the Pine Island - Lake Apopka shoreline and adjacent upland habitats.

The following provides suggested planting within each habitat located in the Pine Island management area:

Suggested planting within the upland and transitional habitats of the management area will consist of species such a sand cordgrass (Spartina bakerz), beautyberry (Callicarpa Americana), saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), water oak (Quercus nigra), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), and cabbage palm.

Suggested planting within the forested wetland portion of the management area will consist of species such as maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), dotted smartweed (Polygonum punctatum), pickerelweed, saw grass (Cladium jamaicense), yellow canna, popash (Faxinus caroliniana), American elm (Ulmus Americana), red maple, dahoon holly, and swamp bay.

Page 196

Suggested planting within the lakeshore zone of the management area will consist of species such as spadderdock (Nuphar luteum ), softstem bulrush, alligator flag (Thalia geniculata), pickerelweed. and arrowhead spp.

Controlled Burn Plan

An initial controlled burn is proposed to reduce the amount of dead vegetation and debris prepare the site for seeding and planting improve wildlife habitat, manage competing vegetation, improve access, and cycle nutrients within the management area. A controlled bum will also reduce the risk of uncontrolled wildfire that may threaten habitat, human safety, and personal property once the property is developed. The bum will reduce the amount of dead vegetation, such as blackberry and the many vines open the understory, and create habitat favorable for wildlife, while allowing native wetland and transitional species to re-establish. A controlled bum is planned within the larger forested wetland areas of the management area. The bum will be performed by a licensed professional and all approvals and permits will be obtained prior to implementation.

VII. SUMMARY

Lakeshore vegetation and adjacent habitats are critical to maintaining a healthy, diverse, and stable lakeshore environment. The major functions of these habitats are to help reduce shoreline erosion, provide wildlife habitat and to provide water quality functions. 'The proposed management plan is designed to supplement continuing restoration efforts set forth by the SJRWMD, which has designated Lake Apopka as a priority water body in need of restoration to Class ID water quality. It also is aimed towards helping one of the primary goals within the Lake Apopka Restoration Act of 1985 and Florida's Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Act of 1987 to restore habitat through restoration of the shoreline, known as the littoral zone.

The Pine Island Lakeshore Management Plan is a systematic, planned approach for controlling undesirable (noxious) plant species, which have the potential to hinder the growth of beneficial plants. Once the majority of nuisance and exotic species are removed, it will be easier to control these species long term and less likely that desirable vegetation will be adversely affected. Regular maintenance events such as chemical and mechanical vegetation mowing will continue within the Pine Island Shoreline Management Area to ensure a predominance of native vegetative species.

The POA and the Management Company hereby stipulate that, as between them, this provision is important and material, and if breached by the POA, will gravely impact upon the business of the Management Company and shall entitle the Management Company to all remedies available to it in equity and/or at law. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

11. Indemnification of the Management Company. To the extent the Management Company is not fully recompensed by insurance, the POA, its members and employees will, and do hereby indemnify, defend, save and hold the Management Company (and its officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, and affiliates) free and harmless from and against any and all liability for any loss, damages, liabilities, claims, costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and costs at all trial and appellate levels and other professionals' fees and expenses and whether suit be brought or not (collectively, "Claims"), arising out of or in any way related to (i) the Management Company's duties under this Agreement; or (ii) any other matter related to, or in connection with the POA from any cause whatsoever, unless, in each case, such Claims shall be solely attributable or caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud committed by the Management Company, its officers and directors or the senior management of the Management Company for the POA. For purposes of this Section and Section 12, the acts or omissions (including grossly negligent, willful or fraudulent acts or omissions) of the Management Company's employees or agents, other than officers, directors or the senior management of the Management Company, shall not be imputed to the Management Company's officers, directors or senior management, or be deemed to be Management Company's gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, unless such acts or omissions result directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Management Company's officers, directors or senior management in supervising such employees or agents. The POA shall have no liability hereunder to the extent that the Management Company is reimbursed for its loss from the proceeds of insurance, and, with respect to such coverage, the Management Company agrees that it will, in good faith, pursue its available insurance recoveries prior to making demand on the POA for indemnity. The Management Company shall be designated as an additional insured in the comprehensive public liability policy obtained by or for the benefit of the POA, and any additional premium therefore shall be the responsibility of the POA.

12. Indemnification of the POA. To the extent the POA is not fully recompensed by insurance, the Management Company agrees it will indemnify, defend, save and hold the POA harmless from and against any and all Claims arising out of or in any way related to (i) the Management Company's operations or business other than in connection with the administration or performance of its duties under this Agreement; or (ii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud committed by the

Page 267

Management Company, its officers or directors. The Management Company shall have no liability hereunder to the extent the POA is reimbursed for its loss from the proceeds of insurance, and, with respect to such coverage, the POA agrees that it will, in good faith, pursue its available insurance recoveries prior to making demand on the Management Company for indemnity.

13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Schedule and Exhibit attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and neither party has been induced by the other by representations, promises or understandings not expressed herein, and there are no collateral agreements, stipulations, promises or understandings whatsoever, in any way touching the subject matter of this instrument, or the instruments referred to herein that are not expressly contained herein or in the CC&Rs.

14. Independent Contractor. The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the Management Company is an independent contractor of the POA.

The Management Company's liability hereunder shall terminate upon such assignment except for those that have accrued before the effective date of the assignment. An assignment by operation of law or otherwise in connection with a merger, consolidation, sale of stock or similar transaction related to or involving the Management Company shall not be deemed to be an assignment for purposes of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Management Company may not assign its rights and duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the POA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, nothing herein shall restrict the right of the Management Company to subcontract for or otherwise procure the services of third parties pursuant to Section 7(d). Upon such assignment and assumption, the party named as the Management Company herein shall be released from any and all obligations hereunder except those that have accrued before the effective date of the assignment.

The agreements, terms, covenants and conditions in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Management Company and the POA and, to the extent permitted herein, their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives.

18. Amendments of Documents. The POA shall not propose, adopt or implement any amendments to the CC&Rs that impair or prejudice the rights of the Management Company without the prior written consent of the Management Company.

19. Default by the POA. If the POA or its members shall interfere with the Management Company in the performance of its duties or exercise of its powers hereunder, or if the POA shall fail to promptly do any of the things required of it hereunder, and such failure or interference continues for fifteen ( 15) days after the Management Company has given written notice of such failure or interference to any officer or director of the POA (a "Default Notice"), the Management Company may thereupon declare this Agreement in default. Upon such default, the Management Company may, in addition to any other remedy given it by agreement or in law or equity, (i) bring an action against the POA for damages or injunctive relief, and (ii) the POA shall be liable for the Management Company's reasonable attorneys' and other professionals' fees and costs incurred thereby. All rights of the Management Company, upon default, shall be cumulative and the exercise of one or more remedies shall not be deemed to exclude or constitute a waiver of any other additional remedy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure of the POA to cure a default within sixty (60) days after delivery of a Default Notice shall be grounds for the Management Company to terminate this Agreement as an additional remedy.

20. Default by the Management Company.

Mediation shall occur within sixty (60) days of notice of the POA's intent to commence mediation. The costs of such mediation will be borne in equal shares by all parties to the mediation. In the event that the parties cannot agree on a resolution of such dispute or claim following such mediation, the POA may terminate this Agreement as its sole remedy; provided, however, that the POA shall not terminate this Agreement

Bella Collina

1170 Celebration Blvd.

Suite 102

Celebration, Florida 34 747


Dear Mr. Burman;

I would like to sincerely thank you for the opportunity to provide this revised proposal for the Bella Collina community. As requested we have submitted a proposal for control program that will provide a once a week Adulticiding of the community from April l through October 31, 2007 to maintain a quality way of life for the residents.

As for any new board members or representatives of the Ginn Company that may not be aware of our company I would like to take this opportunity to introduce them to our organization, Southern Mosquito Control Services, Inc. Our company has been in this business since 1996 and was created to specialize in HOA's, Gated Communities and Country Clubs giving each the individual attention that is needed to promote a higher quality of life. We currently provide mosquito control to well over 30,000 residents in Orange, Seminole and now Osceola County.

Given the heightened awareness of mosquito control and the diseases they transmit, this type of service has become a well-accepted selling point that many communities are adding to their community amenities list. Our program is service motivated as we perform our work with the highest level of integrity. We work with our customers and prospects openly, honestly and sincerely. When we say we will do something, we will do it. We pride ourselves on response time as well as absolutely positive results and we demand only the highest level of customer satisfaction. These principles form the cornerstone of Southem's reputation for integrity, social responsibility, and ethical business practices. This supports our commitment to customer dedication, and with that standard we have developed an unprecedented customer satisfaction history. These can be confirmed through the references that we have provided to you feel free to contact them and inquire into their satisfaction of our services.

Our equipment is state of the art. Our adulticiding units are electrically driven which provides quality chemical output without the noise of the traditional gasoline powered units. This is one of many features that our customers enjoy ... "peace and quiet". The way we see it, just because you are killing mosquitoes does not mean you have to wake the community up to do so. Given the opportunity, I am sure you will agree with our approach and client satisfaction.

Our company currently provides mosquito control to several communities that have been constructed in and/or are being constructed in wooded areas including our most recent addition of Lake Butler Sound in Windermere. These homes are also in wooded areas as yours and are host to a variety of insects, many of which are unbearable if you happen to be outside during the evening hours. Our adulticiding chemicals are effective on a variety of nuisance insects, providing our customers with a pleasant outdoor experience

Page 322

Mosquito control can provide a heightened quality of life for a community and makes a profound statement to potential clients, recognizing that the developer is serious about customer satisfaction and the health concerns of the family who have recently purchased a home in their community. Residents can enjoy nightly activities such as a family walk or bike riding and/or just simple yard work, without the nuisance of bugs and mosquitoes bothering them.

Finally, we have worked with communities that did not realize the significance of such a program, once in place we have been told that the only regret by the community was that they had not implemented the program sooner. If mosquito control is on your agenda for Bella Collina, please grant us this opportunity to prove our ability in the same manner by providing a superior service for your community. I can assure you that you will not find a more professional, concerned company to provide excellence in service to their clients. Southern Mosquito Control sincerely desires the opportunity to provide continued service to your community please afford us this; once again please check our references to verify their satisfaction with our performance.

It is with our sincere gratitude for the opportunity to submit this information to Bella Collina we hope to be of service to you in the near future. If you have any questions or if you need any additional information regarding our program, please feel free to contact me directly at 407-302-8338 or by pager at 888-945-0920.

Scope of Program

Our approach incorporates a four-step program for controlling flying insects for Florida homeowners. If the steps are applied in sequence, control will evolve from a reactive adulticiding (fog truck) program to a proactive program emphasizing flying insect breeding-site reduction and larviciding, to potentially, a minimum pesticide or insecticide-free program designed for your individual community.

Services

Interim Chemical Control of Flying Insects

Without knowing where the flying insects that annoy Florida residents are coming from, it is not possible to control them without ongoing chemical spraying for the adults. Until breeding sources are identified, Southern will adulticide as needed, with the need being determined by requests for service and verified by surveillance. Adulticiding will not be conducted without verifying the nature of the problem and determining the potential success of adulticiding to solve it.

Southern uses a permethrin adulticide applied with quiet, electrically driven machines that produce a fine spray using ultra low volume (ULV) technology, not a heavy fog. Applications will be made while nuisance-flying insects are flying in search of a blood meal, which is during late evening and early morning. This will prevent the elimination of beneficial insects such as butterflies and bees, which fly during the day.

Problem Definition

Adulticiding can provide temporary control but only when applied over a wide area. Since adulticides are not specific for flying insects, and may kill desirable insects, which also fly during late evening and early morning, their use should be limited. To reduce reliance on adulticiding, Southern will survey your community and surrounding areas to identify and map breeding waters that produce flying insects which contribute to the problem in your community.

Larval Control

Larviciding:

Unlike adulticides, larvicides kill only mosquitoes and their application would be limited to aquatic sites proven to produce these insects. The larvicides Southern uses are environmentally friendly and the only larvicides accepted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for use in state parks. Larvicides would be applied only to areas proven to produce flying insect pests, proof being the presence of eggs, larvae or pupae.

In order to further minimize insecticide use, both in adulticides and larvicides. Southern will eliminate as many nuisance insect-breeding sites as possible, otherwise know as Source Reduction.

Source Reduction:

Breeding site elimination, as opposed to spraying with larvicides, is another alternative to adulticiding. It can provide a temporary or permanent solution, depending on the nature of the breeding sites, maintenance protocols and design of the program. Source reduction would include something as simple as eliminating a man made container-holding water to coordinating with a stormwater management department concerning a problem within the community.

Page 324

Bella Collina

Proposed Comprehensive Mosquito Control Program

Implementation of a comprehensive, integrated control program for all of communities. Our program can consist of the following but for the purposes of this contract we will only be implementing the Adulticiding program on a weekly basis, the others items are for informational purposes only of our other services if required for additional control measures:

Surveillance - Mosquito control begins with surveillance or monitoring and measures the numbers of mosquitoes in an area. We are primarily interested in those that cause problems, either as nuisance or health related. Surveillance provides information on species composition, abundance, gauges control efforts, monitors vector populations, and provides historical perspective. Surveillance is conducted with the following:

  • Telephone Service Requests: Residents call to request mosquito control services. Their names and addresses recorded on a log kept daily. Additionally, we look beyond a complaint site to locate possible wetlands or breeding sites that may be impacting the area.

  • Landing rates: Used to monitor adult mosquito activity. Mosquitoes landing on an inspector are counted for 1-3 minutes.

  • Mechanical traps: Primarily used during the summer months, light traps usually operate overnight, collecting mosquitoes that are sorted by species, and their numbers recorded. This information is useful as it provides a historical record of species collected in various areas of the County, and provides valuable information on the effectiveness of spray operations.

  • Dip tests: Our technician will sample aquatic habitats for the presence of mosquito larvae during their developmental stages.

Larvaciding - This part of the program emphasizes the elimination of mosquitoes in the nursery areas. The advantage being that entire "broods" are targeted in the immature stages of development, at the breeding habitat. This prevents the later stage of development, the biting adults. The larvicide's as a group tend to be more mosquito specific in effect. Ground treatments will be performed as larva is detected in wetlands, low-lying areas and retention ponds. Chemical: Aquabac 200g for ground applications.

Page 325

BELLA COLLINA

Proposed Comprehensive Mosquito Control Program

Continued

Adulticiding - While the control of mosquitoes is generally most efficiently accomplished in the immature stages, conditions may necessitate the use of adulticides. Adulticiding is utilized when biting populations reach critical levels, generally when mosquitoes reach public health or nuisance levels. A combination of ground and aerial treatments will be performed after it has been determined by data gathered from our surveillance program (traps, landing counts, and public complaints). This phase of treatment is the most commonly used method of controlling mosquitoes in Florida today and provides the most effective coverage, which dramatically reduces excessive nuisance or vector mosquito populations. Truck spraying to kill adult mosquitoes is an essential part of a mosquito control program, and the part that citizens see most often. Our fog trucks are equipped with quiet, electrically-driven machines using ultra low volume (UL V) technology, spraying a fine mist of concentrated chemical. The treatments will be made during late evening and early morning hours, thus preventing the elimination of beneficial insects such as butterflies and honeybees. Chemical: Perman one 31-66 with a 4% final product. Application rates would be at 9.5 oz. per minute, calibrated @ 10 mph. Minimizing pesticide impact on non-target organisms has always been vital to public acceptance and was incorporated into the goals of the mosquito control community. The present day need to be species specific in the selection and application of pesticides is fundamental to the methodologies we use.

Recreation area equipment inspection - Southern can inspect and eliminate any found wasps nests found in, on or around any playground equipment, and seating areas of the park. This service is free of charge and performed during our daylight hours of our larviciding program.

Proposed Comprehensive Mosquito Control Program

Continued

Frequency

For the purpose of this proposal we will plan to fog the entire community East of CR. 455 once a week. Frequency can also depend on the severity of outbreaks and medical alerts (disease). If required due to any of these conditions additional treatments shall be conducted as authorized.

When we spray:

Peak mosquito activity is at dusk, with mosquito activity continuing into the evening hours. Our spray trucks usually begin spraying at dusk to coincide with this peak activity, and continue spraying until all areas have been serviced. Spray operations are extended in instances of severe mosquito annoyance, or when mosquito transmitted disease occur.

When we will not spray:

Mosquito spraying is not performed those evenings when there are unfavorable climatic conditions; wind conditions exceeding 1 Omph, rain, or temperatures below 57 degrees. Spraying under these conditions kill very few mosquitoes. Spraying is not performed during the day for several reasons; beneficial insects, especially honeybees, are active during the daylight hours, and insecticides sprayed can kill them. Also, citizens are out during the day, and spraying may cause unneeded exposure to the insecticide. Additionally, traffic congestion would make the operation of a spray truck difficult during business hours.

Page 327

The objective of Southern Mosquito Control is to provide high quality service at a reasonable fee thus providing the residents of Bella Collina an enhanced quality of living without the concern of mosquitoes affecting their health and well being. Southern would like to present the following proposal your review. To meet our high standards we will incorporate a program, which includes the following:

There shall be a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with such rules. The arbitration process shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The place of the arbitration shall be the location of the Property, and the arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State of Florida, exclusive of its choice of law rules, in deciding the dispute. The arbitrator shall have authority to award provisional relief. The final award of the arbitrator may include compensatory damages, not including pre-award interest, and specific relief limited to requiring the parties to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

The arbitrator's award may be confirmed and judgment entered thereon in accordance with the governing arbitration law specified above. Any claim of a party hereunder shall be time barred unless arbitration with respect to such claim is commenced within the time frame for the applicable statute of limitations.

g. Expedited Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 10, either Party may seek to resolve a dispute under this Agreement utilizing Expedited Dispute Resolution. Under Expedited Dispute Resolution, "Day One" shall be deemed to be either the day a Party gives written notice of a dispute or objection, or a request for Expedited Dispute Resolution, regarding a matter to which Expedited Dispute Resolution applies under this Agreement ("DR Notice"). For purposes of this Section, the DR Notice must be in writing and provided by means of same-day delivery, such delivery subject to confirmation, including hand delivery of written notice, telecopy, or electronic mail, with a duplicate original sent by overnight delivery. The DR Notice shall specify the issues in dispute and the outcome desired by the Party giving such notice ("Noticing Party"). The Parties, after receipt of the DR Notice, shall negotiate in good faith for five (5) business days in an attempt to resolve the dispute ("Initial Period"). During the Initial Period, and at the same time the negotiations described in the preceding sentence are taking place, (1) the Noticing Party shall file a request ("Request for Arbitration") with AAA to appoint an arbitrator with expertise in communications-related issues ("Arbitrator"), and (2) each Party to the dispute will appoint all expert with knowledge of the subject matter of the dispute ("Party Experts"). The Request for Arbitration shall include a copy of this Section and a statement directing the Arbitrator to conduct the proceedings and render a decision consistent herewith. If the dispute is not resolved within the Initial Period, the Party Experts shall thereafter for a second five (5) business day period commencing immediately upon conclusion of the Initial Period ("Second Period") meet and (1) negotiate in good faith in an attempt to develop a consensual resolution, and (2) develop a position acceptable to each such Party as to the appropriate final resolution of the dispute ("Final Position"). If the dispute is still unresolved after the Second Period, the Parties will, within five (5) business days after the conclusion of the Second Period, submit their Final Positions in writing, with a written statement of reasons, to the Arbitrator and to all other Parties ("Submission"). The Arbitrator will then be required to render a final decision, with reasons stated, within fifteen (15) business days of the date of receipt of all Parties' Submissions (or within fifteen ( 15) business days after appointment of the Arbitrator if such appointment is not in place at the date for submittal of the Submissions

Page 241

despite all Parties' good faith efforts and for reasons outside the Parties' control, in which case the Parties shall diligently and in good faith seek the appointment of the Arbitrator as soon as possible) ("Arbitration Period"). Failure to submit a Submission within the required time shall be deemed a waiver of such Party's right to submit a Submission, unless a late submittal is expressly permitted by all other Parties to the dispute. The Arbitrator will be directed to select one of the Parties' Final Positions without change. The Arbitrator's decision will be final and binding upon the Parties. Any arbitration decision shall include a written statement of the reasons. The Arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, convene one (1) hearing, on no less than five (5) business days written notice, such hearing not to exceed one (1) day in length; provided that the convening of such a hearing shall not extend the time period that the Arbitrator has to render a final decision. Availability of discovery shall be only at the discretion of the Arbitrator. Any request for discovery shall be made at the time of submittal of the Submissions, with reasons stated. The presumption shall be against the allowance of discovery unless the Arbitrator determines that discovery is materially necessary to a just resolution of the dispute. Unless otherwise stated or modified, all other applicable rules of the AAA shall apply. The Arbitrator may award costs, including attorney's fees, incurred in pursuing such Expedited Dispute Resolution in his or her discretion.

11. No Joint Venture. The relationship of Customer and Service Provider is that of independent contractors and neither Customer nor Service Provider, nor their agents or employees, will be deemed to be the employees or agents of the other; nor may Customer or Service Provider bind the other, transact any business in the other's name, or in its behalf, in any manner or form, make any promise or representation, or incur any liability, direct or indirect, contingent or fixed, for or on behalf of the other.

The assigning party shall notify the other party of any assignment, and provide written evidence of the assignment, within thirty (30) days after the assignment.

14. Cooperation on Transfer of Services. For up to ninety (90) days after the expiration or any earlier termination of this Agreement, Service Provider shall cooperate with Customer and its new provider to enable the new provider to commence providing the Services to Residents and Customer with a minimum of interruption and disruption.

SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS

Service Provider shall be obligated to comply with the Service Level Standards set forth below:

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR VOICE AND DATA SERVICES

The following constitute the service and support standards for Service Provider's provision of the Services to Residents and Customer. If any standard below is less stringent than the comparable standard offered by the Local Exchange Carrier or the Franchise Cable Provider, then the standard shall be that of the Local Exchange Carrier or the Franchise Cable Provider, whichever is more applicable.

1. Availability of Services at the Property. Availability of Services is calculated by dividing the average number of seconds that the Services are available at the Property by the total number of seconds in each calendar quarter and multiplying by 100. Specifically excluded from the Services availability calculation are (a) regularly scheduled maintenance windows or ad hoc maintenance windows scheduled and announced by Service Provider at least 24 hours in advance, not to exceed 8 hours per month without Customer's prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (b) outages caused by force majeure that are identified pursuant to the Master Agreement. All maintenance work must be performed during off-peak hours. Off-peak hours will be mutually determined by Customer and Service Provider based upon Residents' usage, i.e., when it is determined that the least amount of Residents will be affected with respect to both Internet and intranet access.

VOICE SERVICES will be available at the Property 99.9% of the time each calendar quarter.
DATA SERVICES will be available at the Property 99.9% of the time each calendar quarter.

2. Resident Service Order Commitment Dates Timely Met. A Service Order is an order from Customer or a Resident to Service Provider requesting Premium Services or to make a change in existing Services. Service Provider shall contact Customer or Resident to schedule a Service Order install or change within 48 hours after receipt of the Service Order (Sundays, and Holidays excepted), and complete all Service Provider work associated with the Service order install or change within 48 hours after receipt of the Service Order (Service Order Commitment Date) unless the affected Resident requests an appointment outside the cure period. Hollidays mean: New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, and Veteran's Day.

The percentage of Service Order Commitment Dates timely met is calculated by dividing the total number of Service Orders timely met within the time requirements by the total number of Service Orders completed in each calendar quarter and multiplying by 100.

Service Provider shall achieve at least 90% Service Order Commitment Dates timely met per calendar quarter.

3. Trouble Reports Cured Timely. The term Trouble Report means any service related report made by Customer or a Resident relating to the Services, Service Provider Facilities, or Circuit, but excludes operator error and problems with Customer owned or Resident owned equipment. The term Minor Service Problem means a service problem (other than an Outage or Building Outage) that affects one or more individual units. An Outage is defined as the loss of Services at the Central Communications Room for the entire Property. A Major Service Problem means a loss of Services that affects one or more entire multi-unit buildings or 10 or more individual single-unit buildings at the Property.

The percentage of Trouble Reports cured timely is related to the number of Trouble Reports resolved within the following windows:

A. Trouble Reports involving a Minor Service Problem received by Service Provider will be responded to by the next business day. Service Provider will cure any Minor Service Problem within 48 hours after responding to the Trouble Report.

B. Service Provider must respond to Trouble Reports involving an Outage within 8 hours of receiving a Trouble Report and any Major Service Problem within 24 hours of receiving a Trouble Report, regardless of the day of week or Holiday. Service Provider will cure any Outage within 24 hours after responding to any Trouble Report of an Outage, and Service Provider will cure any Major Service Problem within 24 hours after responding any Trouble Report of a Major Service Problem.

The percentage of Trouble Reports cured timely is calculated by dividing the total number of Trouble Reports within a calendar quarter that are cured by Service Provider within the time windows set forth above by the total number of Trouble Reports received by Service Provider in the calendar quarter, and multiplying by 100. Specifically excluded from the Trouble Reports cured timely calculation are outages caused by force majeure.

Service Provider shall achieve at least 90% Trouble Reports cured timely per calendar quarter.

4. Resident Hold Time. Resident Hold Time is based upon the number of Resident calls in a calendar quarter in which the Resident is left on hold for less than 5 minutes before the call is answered by a live call center representative. The percentage of Resident Hold Time less than 5 minutes is calculated by dividing the number of Resident calls to Service Provider during a calendar quarter in which the Resident is put on hold for less than 5 minutes by the total number of Resident calls to Service Provider per calendar quarter and multiplying by 100.

Service Provider shall make available to Agent, Residents, and Customer the telephone number to Service Provider's call center and shall notify Agent, Residents, and Customer prior to changing the telephone number.

Service Provider shall achieve at least 90% of Resident Hold Time less than 5 minutes per calendar quarter.

B. The Service Provider Facilities must utilize a two port router to provide Services to Customer's office. Service Provider shall use rate shaping to ensure that the Services do not suffer because of peer to peer traffic.

C. Customer is responsible for the leasing office network beyond Service Provider's router port.

BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, Sprint desires to provide its high-speed telecommunications services to all Residents of the Property as defined below; and

WHEREAS, Association desires to provide high speed data service to all Residents as part of the Association's dues,

THEREFORE, for the reasons stated above, Sprint and Association hereby covenant and agree as follows: :

1. Definitions.

(a) "Affiliate" means any entity that is controlled by, or under common control with, a Party.
(b) "Resident" means the owner or leaseholder of any Unit in Bella Collina that resides in that Unit and receives Service from Sprint.
(c) "Service" means High Speed Data and Internet Service at maximum speeds of 1.5 Mbps downstream and 3 84 Kbps upstream provided to Bella Collina Residents by Sprint and billed via the Homeowner's Association Bill.
(d) "Unit" means each residence in the Bella Collina community, regardless of whether the residence is a single-family residence or part of a multiple dwelling unit (MDU) complex. ( e) "Property" means the Bella Collina development represented by Association.

2. Services Provided by Sprint.

(a) Service. Sprint shall provide the Service to 100% of the Units. Residents may choose speed upgrade options, at a rate 30 % off Sprint's retail rates for the same service in the Orlando market area during the term of this Agreement and be billed the incremental difference between the speed upgrade and Service on their individual telephone bill.

(i) Recognizing that Bella Collina is an advanced technology community, in which, among other things, Sprint is deploying an advanced fiber-to-the-home (FTIH) based network design, the Association has requested that Sprint provide its Residents in this Agreement a high standard for routinely providing to the Residents the maximum speed set forth immediately above.

(c) Technical Support. Association will inform Sprint of any problems noted by or reported to Association that occur in connection with the Service. Association will direct Residents to coordinate directly with Sprint regarding any complaints or technical problems concerning Sprint's Service subject to this Agreement.

3. High Speed Data Services Fee.

(a) Price. Subject to regulatory approval, the Fee for the Service shall be $30.00 per Unit within the Community per month (plus applicable taxes and fees) (the "Service Fee"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sprint's local retail rate of the Service decreases during the term of this Agreement, the Association's Service Fee shall also be lowered at the same percentage that the local retail rate has been lowered (for example, a fifteen percent price decrease in the local retail rate of Service would result in a fifteen percent decrease in the Service Fee) within sixty (60) days after the Association has received written notice that the local retail rate of Service has decreased and a contract addendum will be executed to reflect the new Service Fee.

(b) Should Sprint at any time cease to provide Service to its retail customers in the Orlando Metropolitan area at speeds stated above and replace it with speeds greater than those being currently provided to the Residents of Bella Collina, then Sprint shall provide the Residents of the Community that greater speed at no additional cost.

(c) Payment. Sprint will bill the Association for the Service on a monthly basis, in advance, and payment by the Association shall be due within 30 days after the date of such invoice. If Sprint fails to present an invoice prior to the first day of the month for which Services are being provided, such failure shall not constitute a waiver of the charges for the Services delivered to the Community, and Association shall pay for such Services within 30 days after the invoice for such Services is ultimately presented to Association by Sprint.

15. Arbitration.

This Agreement, including, but not limited to, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its breach, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be construed and governed exclusively according to the internal laws of the State of Florida, without regard to that jurisdiction's law regarding conflicts of law. The parties agree to submit any disputes arising under this Agreement to non-binding mediation; provided that applicable statutes of limitation will be tolled during the pendency of such mediation. In the event the parties hereto cannot in good faith agree on a mediator within fifteen (15) days of the request of either party for mediation, or, if the parties remain in dispute following mediation, any such dispute will be resolved by final, binding arbitration. Arbitration shall be accomplished expeditiously in the County, and shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (in accordance with its Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures, and Florida's Arbitration Code) which will appoint three (3) neutral arbitrators, at least one of which must be an attorney. The arbitrators shall render a written decision accompanied by findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any Court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties hereto shall share equally the arbitrators' fees and costs until the prevailing party is determined or the parties have agreed in writing to an alternate allocation of fees and

Page 401

costs. The parties hereto consent that any arbitration may be consolidated with any other arbitration concerning the parties; however, a dispute shall not be submitted to or consolidated with binding arbitration if there are any third parties who are not subject to such binding arbitration but who are proper parties to such dispute. If either party is subject to arbitration for any claim which could involve the material rights and obligations of the other party to this Agreement, then such other party consents to being joined in such arbitration for final and binding determination of its rights and obligations. In any suit or arbitration proceeding brought by either party, the prevailing party, as determined by the Court, will be entitled to recover attorneys' fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by the prevailing party in such suit or arbitration proceeding or in any appeal. This paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement
