Brian Atkinson , 13055 N. Indian River Drive, was opposed to the proposal, saying the lien that would be placed on his property would be a burden and he has no need for this service. Roger Birt , 13155 N. Indian River Drive, handed out a petition from residents against this project. He urged the Board to look at redesigning the project or denying the request because they did not want to see the roads torn up and they did not need the water. Chairman Neuberger recalled that initially the majority of people were for the project and now they seemed to have changed their minds. He sought legal opinion as to how this would now affect the project, and whether it becomes a moot point now that the majority does not want it. Attorney Collins referred to page 478 of the backup that showed they never had a majority and page 470 of the backup where it seemed they had more support. He said, in actuality, they never had a majority. Discussion ensued on whether staff had a majority supporting the project. Director Chastain assured concerned residents that driveways would not be torn up and the County would take care of any complaints. Judy Turner , 13660 N. Indian River Drive, who owns property south of Roseland Road, favored the project saying water is a necessity and this opportunity does not always come along often. Commissioner Davis asked where the water line came from that provides water to the Inlets of Sebastian. Mr. Chastain responded that it comes from North Central, in through the development, and along the frontage of property on Indian River Drive. In response to another question from Commissioner Davis on whether there currently was a water main north/south along Central Avenue and how far north and south it goes, Mr. Chastain affirmed there is, saying it inter-connects at Roseland Road and runs all the way south to the north of Sebastian City limits.
