The Plantation Acres Improvement District,
or “PAID” as it is commonly referred,
lies primarily within the
City of Plantation, Broward County, Florida.
It extends between Hiatus Road and Flamingo
Road, and between the North New River
Canal
and N.W. 28th Court.

|

|
| PAID
covers approximately 2048 acres of property.
Most of the area is comprised of one acre or
larger single family estates, but it also includes
some one-half acre and one-third acre developments,
multi-family developments, schools, churches,
parks, and commercial developments. Two major
county roadways, Sunrise Boulevard and Broward
Boulevard, pass through PAID.
The
attached map
indicates the general location of the various
land uses. The commercial and multi-family
developments, a major private school, and
a regional park are situated on both sides
of the major county roads. The higher density
single family lots are situated at the extreme
north and south of the District. The remainder
of the area contains the one-acre or larger
single family lots with a scattering of churches,
small schools and parks.
Even
with the diverse range of development in PAID,
the area has retained, through the diligence
of its residents and the Supervisors of PAID,
a “rural” nature. There are several
horse farms, a regional Saddle Club, and grazing
pastures within the area.

|
| The
District was created in 1963 as the
Dixie Drainage District under Chapter
298 of the Florida Statutes. The purpose
of the Dixie Drainage District was to
provide |
|
|
| |
the
planning and basic facilities for the
drainage of the raw acreage and estate
type development that was expected to
follow. The facilities were minimal,
providing only protection from major
flooding.
In
1982, the Plantation Acres Improvement
District was formed under Chapter
82-274 of the Florida Statutes as
the successor to the Dixie Drainage
District. The migration from a drainage
district to an improvement district
was necessary due to the complexity
and rapid rate of development in the
District. As an improvement district,
the authority, powers, and duties
were expanded.
