Recommendation <br />Staff recommends two actions: <br />1. Council should determine whether the transmission line should be <br />routed south of the tower in St. Lucie County to reet the already <br />approved Indian River County alignment or, conversely, that the <br />transmission line should be routed north of the tower and Irdian <br />River County should amend their approved Development Order. The <br />resultant regional impacts are basically the same. <br />In either case, the St. Lucie County Development Order should be <br />appealed, on the basis that the realignment is inconsistent with <br />the alignment recommended by the Council. The appeal should be <br />dropped when the appropriate local government has modified its <br />Development Order. _ <br />2. Council should review and determine whether or not the agreement <br />between Ashland Oil Co., FPL, and the Council is sufficient to <br />mitigate the negative issues of increased cost in construction <br />and impact to the environment by locating the transmissi^r line <br />through 3.9 miles of a cypress swamp. <br />If the agreement is not available at the time of the Council <br />meeting, or is not sufficient to mitigate the negative impacts, <br />then the Council should appeal the Development Order on these <br />issues, as well as the inconsistency issue. <br />Attachment <br />Box 41 fra <br />OCT 241979 <br />
