<br />Mr. Chastain explained that there is a gravity sewer in that area that should not hinder the <br />installation of this project. <br /> <br />County Engineer Gordon Sparks addressed comments regarding use of existing lines. <br />Discussion ensued regarding location and installation of water lines, and properties to be affected by the <br />proposed water assessment line. Commissioner Davis and Mr. Chastain discussed the significance of <br />completing the loop up to U.S. Highway 1. <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Atkinson <br /> asked the Board to keep in mind that a minority of people wants this. <br /> <br />Mr. Borders <br /> reiterated Mr. Atkinson’s comments and urged the Board to take a strong <br />look at that. <br /> <br />Mr. Maerz <br />thought that given what everyone had discovered, it would be appropriate to <br />have a “preference survey” where everything was laid out and comprehensively presented to property <br />owners for them to make an objective decision as to whether they want it or not. <br /> <br />Chairman Neuberger said they might just take another look at this and at the right-of-way <br />issue as well, and maybe have the Utilities staff provide further comments. <br /> <br />Lisa Hess, <br />13465N. Indian River Drive, observed that everyone was concerned about the <br />water and did not want it but she was concerned with the safety issues as regards fire hydrants, and what <br />could happen if there was a fire and no hydrant was close by. <br /> <br />There were comments that water could be pumped from the nearest river but Director <br />Chastain said that was incorrect, because he understood from a Fire Chief that they do not pump water <br />from swimming pools, lakes, canals or the river. This project proposes a hydrant every thousand feet, he <br />said, and the Fire Department would like them to cover a 500-foot radius. <br />October 3, 2006 <br />39 <br /> <br />
