Lake Deer Improvement District
INTRODUCTION
The Lake Deer Community Development District (the ''District" or “CDD”) is located on the west side of Marigold Avenue. The District is located within unincorporated area of Polk County. The District currently contains approximately 160 acres and is expected to consist of 597 residential lots of various sizes for single-family lots with recreation/amenity areas, parks, and associated infrastructure for the development.

The CDD was established under County Ordinance No. 21-030, which was approved by the Polk County Commission on June 15, 2021. The District will own and operate the public roadways, utilizes systems, and stormwater management facilities, as well as the landscape, irrigation, signage, and recreational facilities within the development.

The Master Developer (“Developer”) RhiCas, LLC is based in Winter Haven, Florida. The Development is approved as a Planned Development (PD) for Residential Units and is divided into one phase. A land use summary is presented in Table 1.

Public improvements and facilities financed, acquired, and/or constructed by the District will be designed and constructed to conform to regulatory criteria from the city, county, Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), and other applicable agencies with regulatory jurisdiction over the development, an overall estimate of the probable cost of the public improvements are provided in Exhibit 7 of this report.

The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) or this Engineer’s Report reflects the present intentions of the District and the landowners. It should be noted that the location of proposed facilities and improvements may be adjusted during the final design, permitting, and implementation phases. It should also be noted that these modifications are not expected to diminish the benefits to the property within the District. The District reserves the right to make reasonable adjustments to the development plan to meet applicable regulatory requirements of agencies with jurisdiction over the development while maintaining a comparable level of benefits to the lands served by the improvements. Changes and modifications are expected as changes in regulatory criteria are implemented.

Implementation of any proposed facilities or improvements outlined in this report requires written approval from the District's Board of Supervisors. Estimated costs outlined in this report are based on the best available information, which includes, but is not limited, to previous experience with similar projects. Actual costs could be different than estimates because final engineering and specific field conditions may affect construction costs.

All roadway improvements including sidewalks in the right-of-way and storm drainage collection systems (from the curb inlets to their connection to the stormwater ponds) within the development will be maintained by the District. Water distribution and wastewater collection systems (gravity lines, force mains, and lift stations) will be dedicated to Toho Water Authority for ownership and maintenance upon completion.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this report is to provide engineering support for the funding of the proposed improvements within the District. This report will identify the proposed public infrastructure to be constructed or acquired by the District along with an Opinion of Probable Construction Costs. The District will finance, construct, acquire, operate, and maintain all or specific portions of the proposed public infrastructure.

The predominant portion of this report provides descriptions of the proposed public infrastructure improvements, determination of estimated probable construction costs, and the corresponding benefits associated with the implementation of the described improvements. Detailed site construction plans and specifications have not yet been completed and permitted for the improvements described herein. The engineer has considered and in specific instances has relied upon, the information and documentation prepared or supplied by others to prepare this Engineer’s Report.

THE DEVELOPMENT
The development will consist of a total of 597 residential units and associated infrastructure. The development is a planned residential community located West of Marigold Avenue and consisting of 160 acres from the northern boundary adjacent to Deer Lake and extending south to the southern boundary located along CR 542 (Lake Hatchineha Road). The District is located within Polk County. The land uses and zoning for the development are RL-4 – Residential Low and Planned unit Development. The development will be constructed in one phase.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The CIP consists of public infrastructure in the development. The primary portions of the CIP will provide for stormwater pond construction, roadways built to an urban roadway typical section, water, and sewer facilities including a lift station, and off-site improvements (including turn lanes and extension of water and sewer mains to serve the development).

There will also be stormwater structures and conveyance culverts within the CIP, which will outfall into the various on- site stormwater ponds. These structures and pond areas comprise the overall stormwater facilities of the CIP.

COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to restriction on the title page of this proposal.

	 | LAKE DEER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT |June 21, 2021| 3
Installation of the water distribution and wastewater collection system will also occur at this time as well as the lift station serving the project. Below-ground installation of telecommunications and cable television will occur but will not be funded by the District. Installation of streetlights and power within the public rights-of-way or easements will be funded by the District.

As a part of the recreational component of the CIP, there are conservation areas that can serve as passive parks within the development that are available to the public for utilization of the facilities. The recreational areas will have connectivity via sidewalks to the other portions of the District. The recreational areas will be accessed by the public roadways and sidewalks.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN COMPONENTS
The CIP for the District includes the following:

Stormwater Management Facilities
Stormwater Management facilities consisting of storm conveyance systems and retention/detention ponds are contained within the District boundaries. Stormwater will be discharged via roadway curb and gutter and storm inlets. Storm culverts convey the runoff into the proposed retention ponds for water quality treatment and attenuation. The proposed stormwater systems will utilize dry retention and wet retention for biological pollutant assimilation to achieve water quality treatment. The design criteria for the District’s stormwater treatment systems are regulated by the city, the county, and SWFWMD. There are various conservation areas throughout the District and will be preserved in the existing condition and these will accept stormwater discharges from our ponds as shown on Exhibit 6.

Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map (FEMA FIRM) Panel No. 12105C_12105C demonstrates that the property is located within Flood Zones A and X. Based on this information and the site topography, it appears that 100-year compensation will be done in areas where we will impact existing depressions throughout the development and the 100-year flood volumes will be compensated as it is required the county and FEMA.

During the construction of stormwater management facilities, utilities, and roadway improvements the contractor will be required to adhere to a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) as required by the FDEP as delegated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The SWPPP will be prepared to depict the proposed recommended locations of required erosion control measures and staked turbidity barriers specifically along the downgradient side of any proposed construction activity. The site contractor will be required to provide the necessary reporting as required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit with erosion control, its maintenance, and any rainfall events that occur during construction activity.

Public Roadways
The proposed public roadway sections include a 24-foot roadway consisting of asphalt and with Miami curbs or Type F curb and gutter on both sides along with a 40-foot right-of-way. The proposed roadway section will consist of stabilized subgrade, a lime rock, crushed concrete, or cement-treated base and asphalt type roadway wearing surface. The proposed curb is to be 2-feet wide and placed along the edge of the proposed roadway section for purposes of protecting the integrity of the pavement, and also to provide stormwater runoff conveyance to the proposed stormwater inlets.

The proposed roadways will also require signing and pavement markings within the public rights-of-way, as well as street signs depicting street name identifications, and addressing, which will be utilized by the residents and public. As

COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to restriction on the title page of this proposal.

	 | LAKE DEER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT |June 21, 2021| 4
stated above, the District's funding of roadway construction will occur for all public roadways.

Water and Wastewater Facilities
A potable drinking water system inclusive of a water main, gate valves, fire hydrants, and appurtenances will be installed for the District. The water service provider will be Toho Water Authority a Public Utilities. The water system will be designed to provide an equally distributed system that provides redundancy to the system. These facilities will be installed within the proposed public rights-of-way and will provide potable drinking water (domestic) and fire protection services to serve the entire District.

A domestic wastewater collection system inclusive of gravity sanitary sewer mains and sewer laterals will be installed. The gravity sanitary sewer mains will be a minimum of eight (8)-inch diameter PVC pipe systems. The gravity sanitary sewer lines will be placed inside of the proposed public rights-of-way, under the proposed paved roadways. Laterals will branch off from these sewer lines to serve the individual lots. Lift stations are anticipated for this CIP. Flow from the lift station shall be connected to a proposed force main that will pump to an existing force main that will connect to the TWA water treatment facility.

TWA Public Utilities will provide the reclaimed water to be used for all irrigation within the CDD. The reclaimed water will be funded by the District and installed onsite within the roadways to provide for irrigation within the public right- of-way or any areas needing irrigation. Any water, sewer, or reclaim water pipes or facilities placed on private property will not be publicly funded.

Off-Site Improvements
The District will provide funding for the anticipated turn lanes at the development entrances. The site construction activities associated with the CIP are anticipated to be completed in the next two (2) to three (3) years. Upon completion of each phase, the improvements will be through the required inspections as well as final certifications of completions will be obtained from SWFWMD, Polk County Health Department (water distribution system), FDEP (wastewater collection), Toho Water Authority (TWA), and the county.

Amenities and Parks
The District will provide funding for an amenity center to include the following: parking areas, pavilion with restroom facilities, pool, all-purpose playfields, and walking trails between the phases and villages to provide connectivity to the various amenity centers within the CDD. In addition, there will be passive parks throughout the development, which will include benches and walking trails.

Electric Utilities and Lighting
The electric distribution system thru the District is currently planned to be underground, The District presently intends to fund and construct the electric conduit, transformer/cabinet pads, and electric manholes required by Duke Energy (Duke). Electric facilities will be owned and maintained by Duke after the dedication, with Duke providing underground electrical service to the Development. The CDD presently intends to fund the cost to purchase and install the street lighting along the internal roadways within the CDD. These lights will be owned, operated, and maintained by Duke after the dedication, with the District funding maintenance services.
Entry Feature
Landscaping, irrigation, entry features, and walls at the entrances and along the outside boundary of the Development will be provided by the District. The irrigation system will use an irrigation well. The well and irrigation water mains to the various phases of the development will be constructed and acquired by the CDD with District funds and operated

	 | LAKE DEER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT |June 21, 2021| 5
and maintained by the CDD. Landscaping for the roadways will consist of sod, annual flowers, shrubs, ground cover, and trees for the internal roadways within the CDD. Perimeter fencing will be provided at the site entrances and perimeters. These items will be funded, owned, and maintained by the CDD.

Miscellaneous
The stormwater improvements, landscaping and irrigation, recreational improvements, street lighting, and certain permits and professional fees as described in this report are being financed by the District to benefit all of the developable real property within the District. The construction and maintenance of the proposed public improvements will benefit the development for the intended use as a single-family/residential planned development.

Permitting
Construction permits for all phases are required and include the SWFWMD ERP, Polk County Health Department, FDEP, and county construction plan approval.

RECOMMENDATION
As previously explained within this report, the public infrastructure, as described, is necessary for the development and functional operation as required by the County. The site planning, engineering design, and construction plans for the infrastructure are in accordance with the applicable requirements of Polk County and the SWFWMD. It should be noted that the infrastructure will provide its intended use and function so long as the construction and installation are in substantial conformance with the design construction plans and regulatory permits.

Items utilized in the Opinion of Probable Costs for this report are based upon the proposed plan infrastructure as shown on construction drawings incorporating specifications in the most current SWFWMD, Polk County, and the TWA regulations.

REPORT MODIFICATION
During the development and implementation of the designed public infrastructure improvements, it may be necessary to make modifications and/or deviations to the plans. However, if such deviations and/or revisions do not change the overall

	 | LAKE DEER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT |June 21, 2021| 6
primary objective of the plan for such improvements, then the cost differences would not materially affect the proposed construction cost estimates.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The improvements as outlined are necessary for the functional development of the Project. The Project is being designed in accordance with current government regulatory requirements. The Project will serve its intended function provided the construction is in substantial compliance with the design. Items of construction for the Project are based upon current development plans.

ENGINEER’S CERTIFICATION
It is our professional opinion that the public infrastructure costs for the CIP provided in this report are reasonable to complete the construction of the public infrastructure improvements. Furthermore, the public infrastructure improvements will benefit and add value to lands within the District and the value is at least the same as the costs for said improvements.

The Opinion of Probable Costs for the public infrastructure improvements is only an estimate and is not a guaranteed maximum price. The estimated costs are based upon current unit prices and on our experience with ongoing and similar projects and basis in the county and city. However; labor market, future costs of equipment; materials, changes to the regulatory permitting agencies' activities, and the actual construction processes employed by the chosen site contractor are beyond the engineer's control. Due to this inherent opportunity for changes (upward or downward) in the construction costs, the total, final construction cost may be more or less than this estimate.

Based upon the presumption that the CIP construction continues in a timely manner, it is our opinion that the costs of the CIP proposed represent a system of improvements benefitting all developable property located within the District, are fair and reasonable, and that the District-funded improvements are assessable improvements within the meaning of Chapter 190, F.S. We have no reason to believe that the CIP improvements cannot be constructed at the cost described in this report. We expect the improvements to be constructed or acquired by the District with bond proceeds, as indicated within this report. We believe that the District will be well served by the improvements discussed in this report.

I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the engineer’s report for the Lake Deer Community Development District.

(MASTER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS)

THIS	TEMPORARY	CONSTRUCTION	AND	ACCESS	EASEMENT	AGREEMENT
(“Agreement”) is made and entered as of this       day of        2021, by and between LAKE    DEER DEVELOPMENT, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, with a mailing address of 346 E. Central Avenue, Winter Haven, Florida 33880 (“Grantor”) in favor of LAKE DEER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, a local unit of special-purpose government established pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, whose address is c/o Governmental Management Services – Central Florida, LLC, 219 East Livingston Street, Orlando, Florida 32801 (“Grantee” or the “District”) (Grantor and Grantee are sometimes together referred to herein as the “Parties”, and separately as the “Party”).

WITNESSETH :

WHEREAS, Grantor is the owner in fee simple of certain parcels of real property located in unincorporated Polk County, Florida, being more particularly described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Easement Area”); and

WHEREAS, Grantee intends to complete within the Easement Area, the design, installation and construction of roadway improvements, water, stormwater management facilities, sanitary sewer utilities, signage, neighborhood parks and recreational facilities and other such improvements as authorized by law, (collectively, the “Improvements”); and

WHEREAS, Grantor desires to grant to Grantee a temporary, non-exclusive construction and access easement on, upon, over, under, across, and through the Easement Area for the sole purpose of constructing the Improvements, until either construction of the Improvements is completed or the Grantee acquires the Easement Area, whichever occurs first.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid by the Grantee to the Grantor, the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties do hereby agree as follows:

1

RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT. Grantor does hereby grant, bargain, sell and convey to Grantee a temporary, non-exclusive easement on, upon, over, under, across and through the Easement Area for access, ingress, egress and to allow Grantee to complete the design, construction and installation of the Improvements (collectively, the “Easement”).
TERM OF EASEMENT. Upon the earlier of (i) the completion of all Improvements and the acceptance of such by the District’s Board of Supervisors, or (ii) recordation of a release of the Easement in the Public Records of Polk County, Florida, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be extinguished and all rights in the Easement granted by this Agreement shall immediately revert to the Grantor, its successors, transferees and assigns, without further action of the Grantor or Grantee being required with respect to such Easement Area. Alternatively, (iii) upon recordation of a plat, this Agreement shall partially and automatically terminate and be extinguished over the platted residential lots (“Lots”), and all rights in the Easement upon such Lots granted by this Agreement shall immediately revert to the Grantor, its successors, transferees and assigns, without further action of the Grantor or Grantee being required with respect to such Lots in the Easement Area. Upon termination of this Agreement, as provided herein, and upon request by Grantor, Grantee shall promptly execute and deliver to Grantor a document in recordable form confirming termination of this Agreement and the Easement granted herein. Should the Grantee acquire the Easement Area from the Grantor prior to the occurrence of events (i), (ii) and (iii) enumerated herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be extinguished and all rights in the Easement granted by this Agreement shall immediately vest in the Grantee, its successors, transferees and assigns, without further action of the Grantor or Grantee being required with respect to such Easement Area.

INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY. Grantee and/or any contractors performing work for Grantee on the Easement Area, shall at all times maintain general public liability insurance to afford protection against any and all claims for personal injury, death or property damage arising directly or indirectly out of the exercise of the rights and privileges granted. Said insurance maintained by any contractors performing work for Grantee on the Easement Area shall be issued by solvent, reputable insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Florida, naming Grantee and Grantor as insured, as their interests may appear, in a combined-single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 with respect to bodily injury or death and property damage. Said insurance shall also be primary, and not contributory, as to any insurance coverage maintained by Grantor. To the extent permitted by law and without waiving any of the protections afforded by Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, Grantee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Grantor from and against any and all liability arising out of Grantee’s construction activities within the Easement Area.

OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR AND GRANTEE. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any rights granted hereunder shall be exercised by the Parties only in accordance and compliance with any and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits and approvals, and any future modifications or amendments thereto. The Parties covenant and agree that neither Party shall discharge into or within the Easement Area, any hazardous or toxic materials or

2
substances, any pollutants, or any other substances or materials prohibited or regulated under any federal, state or local law, ordinance, rule, regulations or permit, except in accordance with such laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and permits. To the extent permitted by law and without waiving any of the protections afforded by Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, each Party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party from and against any and all liability arising out of such Party’s breach of any provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the matters set forth in this paragraph.

BENEFICIARIES OF EASEMENT RIGHTS. The Easement set forth in this Agreement shall be for the sole benefit and use of Grantee, its successors and assigns, and Grantee’s agents, employees, consultants, representatives, contractors and providers of emergency services and utility services.
AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. This Agreement may not be terminated or amended, modified, altered, or changed in any respect whatsoever, except by a further agreement in writing duly executed by the Parties and recorded in the Public Records of Polk County, Florida, except as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement. No delay or omission of any Party in the exercise of any right accruing upon any default of any Party shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver thereof, and every such right may be exercised at any time during the continuance of such default. A waiver by any Party of a breach of, or a default in, any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by any other Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of or default in the same or any other provision of this Agreement. No breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any Party to cancel, rescind or otherwise terminate this Agreement, but such limitation shall not affect, in any manner, any other rights or remedies which any Party may have by reason of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement.

NOTICES. Any notices which may be permitted or required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) three (3) days after depositing with the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, (ii) one day after depositing with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iii) on the day of hand delivery (provided such delivery occurs prior to 5:00 pm, E.S.T. or E.D.T., as applicable), to the address listed above or to such other address as either Party may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with this paragraph.

USE OF EASEMENT AREA.

LIENS. Grantee shall not permit (and shall promptly satisfy or bond) any construction, mechanic’s lien or encumbrance against the Easement Area in connection with the exercise of rights hereunder.

3

If any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall, to the extent be held invalid, inoperative or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or portion thereof to any other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby; it shall not be deemed that any such invalid provision affects the consideration for this Agreement; and each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. Venue for any proceeding brought hereunder shall be Polk County, Florida.

The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, shall in no way define or limit the scope or content of this Agreement, and shall not be considered in any construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any part hereof. Where the sense of this Agreement requires, any reference to a term in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural of said term, and any reference to a term in the plural shall be deemed to include the singular of said term. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Parties hereto partners or joint venturers or render either of said Parties liable for the debts or obligations of the other. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Grantor and Grantee and their respective successors and assigns.
