Additional Harbor Access (aka PGI Bird Section Cut Through) – At its May 3 meeting, City Council received an update of the permitting process from engineering consultant Hans Wilson. The State Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) is progressing expeditiously in its review of the proposed project and a permit is forthcoming. However, the Army Corps of Engineers review has been delayed due to ongoing workload issues with Corps staff. In addition, Council reviewed the proposed apportionment methodology by the legal firm Nabors Giblin & Nickerson for assessing properties in the special benefit area. In order for an assessment to be judged legal, it must provide a special benefit to property and result in a fair and reasonable apportionment. In other words, is the methodology logically and factually driven and does it make sense. In this case, the special benefit is based on three assumptions: Improved navigational access Water quality improvements Improved property values As stated in last week’s report, the assessment methodology is based on the maximum number of available water access units per parcel of property and in accordance with City Code provisions. The next step in the process is to secure the services of an economist to evaluate the property value assumed benefit for the area. This was just the first of future public meetings regarding proposed assessment methodology. Comments regarding the approach toward assessing benefitted properties can be made to citymgr@pgorda.us or the City’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/CityOfPuntaGorda.
