<br /> <br />Alfred N. Andersen <br />, 285 Morristown Cay, communicated the problems with <br />standing water under his home, which has caused numerous problems for him and other residents <br />in Heron Cay. Mr. Andersen summarized all of the outlets he used for communicating his problem <br />including: speaking with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and meeting <br />with the Environmental Health Department; he also met with staff at Indian River County. He <br />remarked, as a result of his communications with the above named agencies, an investigation was <br />done to see the extremity of the problem. He stated the park owner said he could take care of the <br />problem, but it would be at the cost of the homeowners. Mr. Anderson played a DVD (COPY ON <br />FILE) that gave a more detailed look at the standing water problem. <br /> <br />County Attorney Collins gave the history of the situation, quoted a statute regarding <br />mobile homes, and explained that the codes Mr. Anderson referred to were adopted 12 to 15 years <br />after the park was built. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wheeler was concerned that the standing water could be possible <br />breeding grounds for mosquitoes. He then expressed if the County looked at this as a health, <br />welfare, and safety issue maybe something could be done. <br /> <br />th <br />Fred Boller <br />, Heron Cay 90 Ave., explained prior experiences he had with the park <br />owner. He stated, alternatives the park owner came up with were all at the cost of the homeowner <br />not the park owner. Mr. Boller felt this is a lack of maintenance matter not capital improvements. <br /> <br />Chairman Lowther expressed that this is serious and the Commission should take a <br />strong stance on the issue. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Neuberger, to <br />send a letter to the Heron Cay park owner and re-institute <br />April 19, 2005 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
