| 5 | (3)(a) To include in a plan of improvements, the |
| 6 | engineer's report, chapter 170 authorizing documents, or |
| 7 | otherwise provide, for the exercise of the district's powers, |
| 8 | services, facilities, and improvements beyond the territorial |
| 9 | boundaries of the district, when necessary and appropriate in |
| 10 | order to provide a benefit on behalf of lands located within the |
| 11 | district and pursuant to an approved plan of improvements or |
| 12 | chapter 170 authorizing documents. Any such construction must be |
| 13 | in accordance with the city's master plans and requirements. Any |
| 14 | such construction within unincorporated Sarasota County must be |
| 15 | in accordance with the county's comprehensive plan, master |
| 16 | plans, and thoroughfare plan. The West Villages Improvement |
| 17 | district shall cooperate and coordinate its activities with the |
| 18 | units of general-purpose local government in which it is |
| 19 | located, including the City of North Port and Sarasota County. |
| 20 | Prior to exercising any of the district powers, functions, or |
| 21 | duties relative to infrastructure planning, programming, or |
| 22 | construction within that portion of the district located in |
| 23 | unincorporated Sarasota County, the district shall enter into an |
| 24 | interlocal agreement with Sarasota County, which agreement shall |
| 25 | specify the process for the district to coordinate its |
| 26 | infrastructure planning, programming, and construction |
| 27 | activities with Sarasota County and include a means to |
| 28 | coordinate infrastructure planning and programming between the |
| 29 | parties. Neither the district nor Sarasota County shall |
| 30 | arbitrarily or unreasonably withhold or delay its approval and |
| 31 | execution of such interlocal agreement. The district is |
| 32 | authorized to enter into interlocal agreements with the City of |
| 33 | North Port, Sarasota County, the Englewood Water District, or |
| 34 | any other units of government. Whenever the district intends to |
| 35 | utilize its powers to construct or cause to be constructed |
| 36 | infrastructure projects or programs within the district, the |
| 37 | district shall provide copies of all plans and infrastructure |
| 38 | permit applications to the Sarasota County Planning Director and |
| 39 | Development Services Business Center at such time as the |
| 40 | district submits such plans or permit applications to the City |
| 41 | of North Port or other permitting authority but in any event no |
| 42 | less than 30 days before the City of North Port or other |
| 43 | permitting authority issues permits for those projects. The |
| 44 | district shall allow the county 20 days from submittal to the |
| 45 | county to comment on those plans and permit applications, but as |
| 46 | to construction or improvements that are not within |
| 47 | unincorporated Sarasota County, the county's approval is not |
| 48 | required for the district to proceed with the project. Sarasota |
| 49 | County shall not unduly interfere with the district's exercise |
| 50 | of its powers conferred by this act. |
| 51 | (b) Prior to planning, programming, or construction of any |
| 52 | infrastructure that is intended to cross jurisdictional |
| 53 | boundaries and be constructed in more than one unit of general- |
| 54 | purpose local government, the Englewood Water District, or a |
| 55 | combination thereof, the district shall enter into interlocal |
| 56 | agreements with each of the affected governments, which |
| 57 | agreements shall specify the process for the district to |
| 58 | coordinate its infrastructure planning, programming, and |
| 59 | construction activities with each affected government; |
| 60 | coordinate compliance and resolve conflicts with the |
| 61 | comprehensive plans, laws, and ordinances of the City of North |
| 62 | Port and Sarasota County and with the adopted long-range plans |
| 63 | and rules and regulations of the Englewood Water District; and |
| 64 | establish procedures and responsibilities for maintenance, |
| 65 | repair, and operation of any connected infrastructure. The |
| 66 | district, the City of North Port, Sarasota County, and the |
| 67 | Englewood Water District shall not arbitrarily or unreasonably |
| 68 | withhold or delay their approval and execution of any such |
| 69 | interlocal agreement. |
