All subdivisions of 3 acres or more are required to <br />provide street lighting within their subdivision by direct contract with Florida Power & Light. <br />Discussion ensued whereby County Engineer Christopher Mora pointed out that <br />other subdivisions also are part of the District and pay ad valorem taxes. <br />Chairman Macht thought it should go back to staff to resolve. <br />Acting County Administrator Baird cautioned the Board not to set a precedent. <br />In defense of his argument, Mr. Snyder questioned why the subdivision should be <br />held responsible for something not done by the original builder and something not followed up <br />by the County, because for 10 years they had no street lights. <br />Commissioner Adams explained that once the developer is through, the only one <br />left is the Homeowners' Association. <br />Discussion continued and it was determined that the Lindsey Lanes Homeowners <br />Association's argument should be with the developer. <br />Chairman Macht CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />motion carried, (4-1, Commissioner Neuberger opposed.) <br />(The Board denied the request by Lindsey Lanes and <br />approved keeping the two street light systems separate <br />{Alternative No. 1 } ). <br />NOVEMBER 18, 2003 36 <br />
