OCT 101979 RGE 694 <br />ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON DISCUSSED WITH THE BOARD <br />THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM RAY PRESCOTT REGARDING DRAINAGE PROBLEMS <br />IN HAEGER HIGHLANDS: <br />September 12, 1979 <br />William Wodtke, Jr., Chairman <br />Board of. County Commissioners <br />Indian River County <br />Vero Beach, Fl 32960 <br />Dear Mr.- Wodtke: <br />In May 1975, the County Commission approved the sub -division <br />known as.Haeger Highlands, located on Tenth Avenue south of <br />Citrus Road. The Plat was sigm d by Jack Jennings for the <br />county, and by Haeger and Kitzmiller for the sub -division. <br />This sub -division does not meet the specifications set by <br />the county, and yet building permits were issued. This road <br />(Tenth Ave.) is only 49.5 ft wide and unpaved then, as well <br />as now. <br />My property, 255 - 9th Court, lies immediately adjacent on <br />the east property line, and my drainage, as well as the <br />drainage for the entire area flows to the west. This natural <br />drainage flow has been impaired. Now Haeger Highlands sub- <br />division is draining to the east, and blocking the normal <br />drainage pattern for my property and other properties lying <br />on the adjacent east line of Haeger HighlandsSub-division. <br />Water now stands on my back lot approximately 12" deep, cover- <br />ing 4/10 of my one acre lot. This water is a direct run-off <br />from Haeger Highlands to my property, with no relief ditches. <br />Also there exists two vacant lots on the east side of this <br />subdivision; and when built on will cause me and my neighbors <br />even more water problems. <br />I consider this an extremely damaging situation to my property, <br />as well as creating a tremendous health hazard. I consider <br />the county responsible for allowing this situation to exist. <br />I would appreciate your examining this situation, and taking <br />immediate action to correct this inadequate drainage -provision. <br />Yours truly, <br />\'_Ra _''rescott d <br />2=55 9th Court <br />Vero Beach, F1 32960 <br />CC: Jack Jennings <br />Count; :ydministrator <br />MR. NELSON INFORMED THE BOARD THAT ZONING DIRECTOR WALKER <br />HAS LOOKED INTO THIS SITUATION AND HAS COMMENTED THAT EVEN THOUGH <br />THE COUNTY <br />IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UPKEEP OF THESE ROADS OR <br />
