WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 97-348, Laws of Florida, the County comprehensive
plan and land development regulations are the transitional comprehensive plan and land
development regulations of the Village; and
WHEREAS, the County is authorized under its comprehensive plan and land
development regulations to issue up to two hundred fifty-five (255) new residential ROGO
awards per year; and
WHEREAS, a certain number of the new residential ROGO awards allocated ann:.dly
by the County represent a prorata number of new residential development within the
boundaries of the Village; and
WHEREAS, the Village, Department, and County agree that twenty-eight (28) new
residential ROGO awards represents a good faith estimate of the Village's prorated number of
awards it can issue per year for new residential development within the boundaries of the
Village; and
WHEREAS, the Village, Department, and County agree that the number of residential
ROGO awards that should be distributed between the County and the various Cities, including
the Village, remains to be determined, as recognized by Policy 101.2.5 of the comprehensive
plan, and that the twenty-eight (28) residential ROGO awards (on an annual basis) distributed
to the Village by this Agreement are an interim measure; and
WHEREAS, the Village and County are required to issue development orders only in
conformity with their approved comprehensive land use plan and land development regulations;
and
WHEREAS, the Department is the state land planning agency with the power and duty
to exercise general supervision of Part I of Chapter 380, and Part II of Chapter 163, Florida
Statutes, and to enter into agreements pursuant to sections 380.032(3) and 163.3171(4), Florida

appeal any Village or County development order to the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory
Commission if the development order does not comply with the comprehensive plan, land
development regulations, or the Principles for Guiding Department.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Village, County and Department do mutually agree as
follows:
1. Allocations. Twenty-eight (28) residential ROGO awards per year shall be
allocated to the Village during the term of the Agreement for distribution in accordance with
the permit allocation system in the County comprehensive plan and land development
regulations, as the same apply to the Village. These allocations come from the existing
allocations of the Upper Keys sub-area. Twenty-two (22) of the yearly allocated residential
ROGO awards are for market rate, and six (6) are for affordable housing. The County agrees
with and has no objection with this allocation. Furthermore, the County specifically
acknowledges and recognizes that based upon this Agreement, the total number of new
residential ROGO awards allocated per year from the Upper Keys sub-area (57 market rate and
14 affordable) will decrease by 28 (22 market rate and 6 affordable) during the term of this
Agreement.
2. Authority to Issue. The Village is authorized to make twenty-eight (28)
residential ROGO awards per year during the term of this Agreement, commencing with the
October 1997 - April 1998 allocation quarter for ROGO year six (6), and every quarter
thereafter in accordance with the permit allocation system in the County comprehensive plan
3
and land development regulations, as the same apply to the Village. The Department
specifically acknowledges and recognizes that the Village has scheduled its first Local Planning
Agency meeting for June 11, 1998, for the purpose of making available residential ROGO
awards for the October 1997 - April 1998 a~location quarter. The Village specifically
acknowledges and recognizes that a ROGO award does not authorize construction, and that
subsequent to the award, the applicant must receive a building permit before construction may
occur. The Village also acknowledges and recognizes that a building permit cannot be issued
without a cesspit credit as required by Policy 101.2.13 of the comprehensive plan, and that all
building permits must otherwise comply with the County comprehensive plan and land
development regulations, as the same apply to the Village. The Village acknowledges that
thirteen (13) market rate allocations were awarded by the County in the first quarter (July 14,
1997 - October 13, 1997) of ROGO year six (6) for new residential development within the
corporate limits of the Village. As a result, the number of allocations available for award by
the Village in the remainder of ROGO year six (6) is nine (9) market rate and six (6)
affordable housing. The Village will be the local government agency, which approves and
accepts any lot dedications or deed restrictions associated with the Village's ROGO allocation
process.
3. Department of Health MOU. The Village acknowledges and recognizes that the
residential ROGO awards distributed by this Agreement cannot be awarded until the Village
enters into a Memorandum of Understanding with the State Department of Health, the State
Department of Environmental Protection, and DCA, which satisfies the requirements of Policy
4
101.2.13 of the County comprehensive plan (as described in Task E of Year One of the Five
Year Work Program), as the same applies to the Village.
4. Comprehensive Plan Amendments. The Village, Department and County
acknowledge and recognize this Agreement is temporary in nature, and the Village and County
must amend their respective comprehensive plans to formalize the actions authorized herein.
The Village and County shall ensure the amendments to their comprehensive plans are
transmitted to the Department within the next available amendment cycle, in accordance with
the provisions of Chapter 163, and Chapter 380, Florida Statutes.
5. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest date
of: 1) January 13, 1999, or 2) the date that the amendments to the comprehensive plans of the
Village and the County as set forth above become effective pursuant to sections 163.3189(2),
380.05(6) & (10), and 380.0552(9), Florida Statutes.
